Evening everyone. I havent been able to get onto the forum for a couple of hrs - dont know if it was the app or website playing up.
@shelley262 I’m so sorry to read your sad news. I agree it can be very difficult living far from family.
@Goonergal I thought of you too around Canning town - was trying to figure out if I was in your neck of the woods. Ive never been on the DLR before - bit spooky being driverless.
Breakfast today, quite early a cheese omelette with coffee and cream.
Spent all day at Discover Dogs at the ExCel - lots of eateries there but Most were very carb heavy. Finally found a salad and sandwich place, all food had nutritional info on the label so picked a chicken and bacon Caesar salad at 5.4 g carbs. Wasn’t very filling though
Late afternoon ate my emergency Adonis bar.
It was a great day, fell in love with so many dogs and there were brilliant displays including one from medical assistance dogs who can smell illness such as cancer and hypo/ hyperglycaemia in diabetics. I spoke to one of the owners who had T1D and had no hypo awareness she said she used to have up to 8 hypos a day and was hospitalised a couple of times a week, but since having her adorable poodle she’d only had 2 in 4 years. The dog just brings her testing kit to her when he smells there is something wrong, evennwaking her up at night and accompanying her to work, absolutely brilliant, her life has been transformed.
Arrived back tired late and happy and stopped off at Nandos for dinner - chicken thighs, halloumi and avocado with extra mayo.
@ianpspurs I share Mrs P’s irritation with family members who can’t load the dishwasher properly, they think I’m just being finicky but I know I’m just doing it right!
