Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.
A 5.5 this morning.
Happy Friday folks.
I have dyed my hair NHS blue as a mark of respect for the NHS staff in their war against this virus. Don't think it isn't a war. It is.
Now DON'T get out there to fight on the beaches, or in the fields or anywhere, fight by staying at home.
Stay well, stay strong, stay at home.

Dear Claire Rayner
My fbg was 5.6 today which is 100.8 US therefore my life is in tatters. Should I leave my wife and smear myself in cream cheese as some guy called Andreas says that is the only way to save myself? I should point out that there is some doubt as to whether I am safe on my own but I have a friend called Alf and they all say everything is fine.
PS, I did have a little local difficulty around the tally waggle area last year. Do you think that will that affect my ballet career? Yes? Oh no. No you too with the no tutu

Dear Ian
You say you are from Suffolk. Sorry but sadly there is little modern medicine can do about that.

Love this alf xx
The Hula hoop is a great thought for encouraging social distancing- that mental picture is really making me laugh.I'm glad I went out for a walk. I ran into one of my favorite neighbors sitting on a bench out in front of our building. I sat down on another bench about 30 feet away and we had a nice visit, talking about books we've been reading and how nice the weather's been. And how bored we've been.
I've also found a new use for my trekking poles. They are about 39" long, and are very handy when allowed to trail about 3' behind me when another neighbor tries to crowd up on my heels coming back down the sidewalk! I just sort of waggled them gently.
A hula hoop would be more fun and better exercise, but I wasn't good with hula hoops even when I was a kid. I had more fun playing with them like Kevin Corcoran did in "Pollyanna."
I’m glad you got to sit and chat with your neighbour for a bit though - a proper matter makes all the difference to our wellbeing.

I added a brand new skill to my midnight repertoire, the ancient and mystical art of projectile vomiting :***: A real delight to suddenly wake up to and the bathroom... so close but yet, so far. Of course, this was followed by the coughing and choking we are now used to and are able to handle with such aplomb.
Really hate this virus
This morning I am 6.3, temp is up to 36.9

I have a large hula hoop in my garage.
A thought...
All I need to do is get a full short skirt of mine, and sew the hula hoop round the hem...
What do you think...
I would you know....
By the way do any of you young girls remember in the playground when you had something similar to a hula hoop round your full skirts?
But it was a bit of a malfunction when you sat on the swing....

That sounds really nasty. Your BG is holding up well but are you managing to get any nourishment, do you have tins soup? I wouldnt expect you to be following the Jamie Oliver cook alongI added a brand new skill to my midnight repertoire, the ancient and mystical art of projectile vomiting :***: A real delight to suddenly wake up to and the bathroom... so close but yet, so far.

Yes, if you mean "sticky out" petticoats.
Got a hula hoop in the garage - grandchildrens generation plastic not wood, but think that would have an even worse impact when you sat down.

@gennepher poor old Popeye hope he improves as the day goes on. @SaskiaKC and @DJC3 liking the hula hoop talk. One of the big disappointments of my childhood was I could never master it though my friends did. No rhythm me! Great use of walking poles lol.

I have an ample supply of chicken soup and other assorted goodies. Her ladyship has not enquired of my health at all, I believe she thinks I am swinging the lead as I hve not cut the lawns or done the pressure washing yet
She is thank you, isolated as they are. Her boredom is leading her into my realms of gaming which could be unfortunate for her as I give no mercy
Trust me, I could have won gold
