Yep - hugs to all who are on the Big D Rollercoaster today! The weather here is very oppressive - damp and it feels oddly cool, but it's hot if you move round. I'm putting my own ticket on the ride down to that!
 

...............and some days I want to give diabetes a dam good thrashing, like Basil Fawlty did when his car kept playing up in Fawlty Towers.
Can't show the clip as it has a naughty word in it, but so funny
 
Last time I tried to get through to my surgery on the phone it took - and I counted - 31 calls.

Now I make appointments, get test results and submit prescription requests on line and only speak to them when they ring me.

If I actually needed to ring a receptionist I'd have to prepare myself for a morning of total frustration!
 
I have had an offer of a permanent role as School Escort, up until the end of summer term, mid July I think it is, so 5 days a week. I have 2 hospital appointment in June,I told transport manager and she will get cover for those.
I'm so pleased
 
@Robinredbreast - that is wonderful news! I am so pleased for you I hope you get taken out to celebrate!

Aaaww thank you maybe a meal out on Sunday ? as I am cooking tonight...........and no coconut in sight
Spanish chicken and GF lemon mug cakes, for two
 

Busy doing nothing, by the sounds of it
Back to making lunch now
 
Woopsie, I dropped to 6.6 after my breakfast, then now to 1.9. I don't know what happened, because I didn't feel funky until now. My bf bought a different kind of oreos today - birthday party, it tasted good to my diabetes and hormone friends.

what are you now, has it gone up ?
 
Weston Super Mare? No idea what its like just always one of those place I should gone to but never been

My brother and sister in law lived there and I went for a holiday in WSM decades ago, If my memory serves me right, there was a lovely village called Dunster ? Also WSM isn't far way from Cheddar Gorge
 
I grew up in Bridgwater, just down the road from Weston Super Mud... as @helensaramay says, Banksy had the right venue... we used to go swimming at the Tropicana Lido for a treat...

At the Science Museum today. Picked manchild up at St Pancreas (he trained in from Milton Keynes as his with his dad for half term) and spending today and tomorrow with us. Bodyworld tomorrow

D running ok, just having problems with my Fitbit connecting to my phone. Rebooted everything and seems to be ok now.
 
OK - steaks ready to grill tonight, creamy coconut (sorry @Robinreadbreast) mushrooms done and just need warming up. Bacon is in the oven and has another 35 minutes, then it gets sliced into rashers. I think it will make about 40.

Other than that, I want a shower! I have bags of time before my potato needs to go in the oven, and the green veg will be steamed which is always quick.
 
Nice idea, been to Chichester but never the harbour
 
Mmm, cellophane

I mostly know Bridgwater from the bike shop - we got our first tandem there on the way back from Cornwall. My wife claims she was drugged by having run out of coffee in the morning.
I had a job over Christmas and new year at the cellophane factory when I was at uni. Messy.
 
Did the smell stick ....

The bacon is done and sliced, and can go into storage when it's cool. That was a busy and productive day with some thoroughly edible results
 

13.723 steps at the moment, yesterday was over 24,000, but I was so tired in the evening I forgot about it
 
How annoying @Robinredbreast!

I didn't do much actual walking today but I was stood up moving around in the kitchen for a good four hours. Shame it doesn't count.
