Type 2 Life

I'm going to have 3x 97% meat sausages for an early dinner tonight, followed by a hunk of Double Gloucester cheese with chives what are you all having? (I'm bored reclining here on the sofa)
I've been on the go all day today - doctors this morning and shopping in town this afternoon so I'm going to treat myself and have mushroom and asparagus omelette. Normally I would go to my knitting group but the weather's yuk and I fancy chilling out with DS tonight. He's in the middle of a mammoth project on Minecraft and recreating all the various versions of the Tardis console room :)
 
Here's a photo of one of our deadly visitors on our back garden fence @Robinredbreast
Wow! What a picture. A couple of years ago the charity shop where I volunteer had a surprise visitor - a goshawk had flown into our warehouse and got trapped in there! They really are amazing creatures, do you get any other birds of prey near you?
 
Good morning @13lizanne . I loved your fantastic photo. Thank you for sharing it. I hope you are feeling a bit better today. Good morning @liam1955 i hope York is as nice and sunny as it is here.
Have a good day everyone . :)
 
Love the photo Lizanne. I was at kings yesterday (Wednesday), for my immune system and am going to GPs today for Asthma review cause I had a nasty attack at the weekend so they like to see me a couple of days later
 
Oh loulou what a time of it you are having pet. I wondered where you were at the weekend, we do miss you when you don't post and now I'm always thinking are you ill again? You are one brave woman and I'm sending you an enormous hug.

We get sparrowhawk's all the time, they are aware that we feed the birds and look upon our garden as their own personal buffet! That's why my husband built a big cage thing to put the seeds in for the smaller birds so they would be safe from the buzzards,and sparrowhawks. An owl flew into my sons bedroom window one night and left a perfect imprint on my (mucky) window, I was in big trouble with the family for washing it off before they took pictures. We get squirrels, fieldmice, hedgehogs too. I'll upload another photo of our little cage (with occupants )later today when I'm using our desktop pc. I'm on my tablet downstairs just now
 
DSCF4160.JPG 001 (2).JPG Here are another two pics as promised, the cage with grey squirrel who managed to squeeze in from the back and a little fox who visited last summer. Perhaps we should start a new thread of nature photographs?

I like that idea, we don't have a garden but we do have a communal lawn outside our block and individual patios. Even though we are in a suburb just outside the town centre we do get some wildlife, mostly squirrels bats and plenty of birds. We used to see urban foxes but there has been a lot of building work in the area so they've moved further afield.
 
I have stopped the Dapagliflozin as from today, but only for several days. I have developed a rash in my groin and the Practise Nurse says it could be "Thrush" :grumpy: which is a side effect of taking the drug. She has prescribed DAKTACORT Cream to be applied twice daily to use for no more than 4 days.
 
I expected the blood sugar result to be much higher this morning. I had my biological injection yesterday and that puts it up for several days, and I have not had my Dapagliflozin for 2 days now and I had only 2 hours light sleep last night, just could not go over!!! I am quite happy with this morning's result.:)
