@gennepher this is for Popeye, and you -- (I was thinking of it earlier this morning; hmmm ... somehow I must've known it was Popeye's birthday) --
I don’t think cats are fooled nowadays. I think cats as a species have assimilated the idea that humans watch these flatscreen moving pictures...yet years ago, and I am talking about the 1960’s, cats were fascinated by the television and used to go round the back to see where the pictures disappeared to, and then come round to the front again. And even tried to catch the flying birds...Oh, I love his little half black half white toe! How sweet.
The KittenCat isn't a big fan of YouTube either, unless I play one of those videos made for cats, and then as soon as she realizes she can't smell the prey or catch it she is done with it.
At 5:45 this morning fbg was 11.1
I will take that as I am not well.
Had to cancel today’s activities.
I feel fine in bed (ish) as long as I am not moving, sleeping, not having a serious bout of coughing (thank you @PenguinMum suggesting a cube of chocolate slowly melted on the tongue would help with that, and it does, much better than cough sweets), but going to make a cuppa tea finishes me off....it is like trying to crawl up Mount Everest...
On a very serious note, and I hadn’t realised this. On a different thread @Viv19 suggested something. She suggested I might need to balance out diabetic meds. This was my reply to her on the other thread.
I was probably given that piece of paper about 4 years ago. I never filed it because I knew I would forget about it, but it was pinned on my kitchen wall along with dozens of other pieces of paper.
You can damage some of your internal organs if you continue to take some meds, not just diabetic ones, and you are not well and not drinking enough water.
If anyone asks me I can photograph it and put it on here. It is in the kitchen and I am in my bed where I am staying for the mo.

Definitely not Gum and Gummer then. Have the Ostrich or Buffalo burgers we feed our striplings been implicated in #BSEgate? Is mad Ostrich disease a thing yet? One finds keeping on trend with food news so tiresome. At least Moore's law gives an 18 month to 2 year period to adjust. Will the good men and true of your UK neck of the woods be banned from chanting Huawei the lads? All so very vexatious on the spirit don't you find?
Good luck with your search.Another 6.2 this morning. If my meter is stuck there, there are worse numbers it could be stuck on. I am up before dawn again; I used to do that only for a horse show. Having fallen in love with Blandford Forum yesterday, I spent the rest of the evening looking for similar towns over here, that I might possibly be able to move to. A friend and I discussed New England as a possibility. I want a small town, where I can walk out of my front door and turn one way and walk to a grocery store; turn the other way and walk to a doctor; cross the street and walk to a church and/or the library. Some place with sidewalks. Doesn't seem like a lot to ask, but is evidently more than most town planners ever planned for.
You have my deepest sympathythis Yorkshire lad.
Hi Saskia I have been thinking today about your move. New England sounds wonderful but how far would it be from where you are now and would it be colder? The KC wouldnt like that I suspect. I gather it's spread over six states so I guess some are more hospitable than others. I would of course prefer you came to settle in Blandford which though two counties away I could come and visit occasionally. Its a big decision for you.Another 6.2 this morning.

They will both heal with all the love they are surrounded with I have no doubt. How is your daughter and son in law? How is the other dog also?
You are most welcome Krystyna.Po - thank you so much for typing out this long post. You have set it out so clearly. I shall copy your notes and print them off. They will be absolutely invaluable.
Managed to stay mostly relaxed yesterday and was 5.5 this morning. So it looks like staying tranquil and not triggering the cortisol is really important for me.
Edited to change OK to Po - it's that autocorrect again.
Wow, I have just fallen in love ...
I was Google-mapping Dorset while reading my favorite D*** Francis novel, 10-lb. Penalty and I discovered Blandford Forum. Wow. What a lovely place. Wish I could retire there. Haha they asterisked-out his name again!
Hi SastryI generally do but once in a while i am lazy and didn’t realize the fluctuation can be that big. Lesson learnt.... good day Po. Oh about the pic - thanks... am a hobby potter.. this was from a few years ago when i was just beginning to learn... i make simple pieces for gifting or selling to friends and raise funds for charities... you can follow me on instagram if interested. Thanks
Hi Sastry
You say ... "I make simple pieces" Well my friend, I would not call your amazing pieces simple. Beautifully crafted, maybe.
I salute you for the fund raising work you do.

No absolutely not True Blue...no shows can be a problem in our NHS but we need to ascertain the reason...some are unavoidable & not necessarily the patients fault...when I first became ill I had intensive intravenous antibiotics for two weeks at our local hospital and so many clinic appointments my head was spinning...when I was home & had recovered a little I realised I had been sent a date for a clinic appointment...I had no idea & did not attend...later when I checked my patient record I was marked as not attending...I made my GP amend that...it would be better if we had patients confirm they would be attending...if not the appointment is offered to others
