My old University haunt
My old University hauntBristol is a wonderful city, I have a brother who lives there. Are you being interviewed for a job there or for a study place?
FRIDAYGood morning and happy bin day everyone on this rather dreary morning here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of Deno and the Cyclone let rip a steady 5.5 at wake o’clock this morning.
Off to the the garden centre this morning to buy defensive supplies in the ongoing campaign on the Catastrophe Front Line.
Hopefully the weather will start picking up later today and I can get my bike out for a spin.
I am expecting a new book purchase to arrive today. I thought about having a Kindle version but it’s not the same as having a book.
Anyhow, have a great day if you can.
Sun Tzu and von Clausewitz - very useful reading if you are in business, are a teacher; generally just good reading. I also keep dipping into Marcus Aurelius - keeps me sane (ish). I guess if you are fighting diabetes these could be useful reads; If you know the enemy and know yourself you need not fear the results of a hundred battles.I don’t know, but it was 2 gardens down and I reported it. There are toddlers and babies round here too. It was 10 years ago now and is still vivid in my mind. And my current elderly cat won’t sleep on my exposed garage roof any more (he can still climb up there), and the buzzards are back to circling on the thermals from the steelworks. And I am wary of buzzards still....
I hope you have a good day at the garden centre and you find good stuff that fulfills your needs.
Sun Tzu’s Art of War
I love that book. It’s one of the books on my bedside shelves.....

Best wishes for the 6 month review. Are you a reader of that ancient philosopher Jess Glynne with the don't be so hard on yourself trope? If so she also saidThanks Ian, you are very good at putting things in perspective (for other people I may add - but usually very hard on yourself!)

And my new read has just dropped onto the door mat.@dunelm
I have Marcus Aurelius, my partner J, before he died 10 years ago, bought me some of his books, also at my bedside.
I have never heard of von Clausewitz. Will google that in a moment.
I do return to The Art of War quite often. Very useful guidance and strategies in there.

And there are many things that I could change so slightly
But why would I succumb to something so unlike me
I was always taught to just be myself
Don't change for anyone
And I definitely don't wear makeup on Thursday = she knew, Jess knew

Hi All
Am on the sofa with radio on and Bobs and Daisy next to me and feeling much better since I took some painkillers. My second eye injection went as expected. As previously the staff were lovely especially the doctor and nurse with me. I met a a delightful lady in her 80s in the waiting room who was dealing with eye cancer (nothing to do with Diabetes) and had/was having some serious treatment but was full of praises for the HCPs. I couldnt help think what an unfair hand she had been dealt but typical of her generation she was taking it all in her stride. I felt very humbled by our convo

The University of Bristol is interviewing T2 members of this forum about how we use the forum to get information, etc. Every time I log on to this site I see this:
The University of Bristol is looking for participants with Type 2 Diabetes for a research interview on how users share and evaluate information on Diabetes.co.uk forum. The interview will take place at the University of Bristol and will last about 50 minutes. Reimbursement of reasonable travel expenses in addition to a £10 voucher are offered in return. If you can't travel to Bristol, holding the interview in a more convenient location or through a video call online can be arranged. Email the Research Investigator, Roberta Bernardi
I just assumed it was appearing on everyone's screen. Oh, well, we all know what happens when we assume.
6.6 this morning. Kind of grey outside here too, with the sun behind the clouds, and 24 degrees already at 9 am. Sigh.

Oh, OK. My IPad just logs me onto the last thing that I was looking at and must have ignored that bit - Bristol - quite a way from here.
