Thanks. I have often wondered just how hard life is for these or a classic winning horse put out to stud. Do they fret over fbg, bmi, what to wear, carb counts or the news? Do they ever just phone in sick or refuse - just say neigh? Slow day in Breckland as cute granddaughter is Ronald Bilious Weasley so absent.Too much Info ..
Hope all is well, & role lessens in coming weeks
Benchmarks are good. Targets should be SMART so set a realistic timeframe. Sorry if the link seems to be condescending but it was the clearest explanation I could find. I always felt that if a teacher couldn't explain something to a year 7 they didn't understand what they were talking about. Ruled out far too many, sadly.A wonky week of sleep again, has put me off of testing in AM.
It's a delicate balance.
Bored senseless during day, so sleep too much
Not tired at night because I slept during day
Too little meds, sleep disturbed.
Too many I'm zonked next day,...
So I sleep during day, etc etc as Yul Brynner says.
But on a plus note...
I managed to get out yesterday, and unaided walked up one side of our street block & down the other side back to our front door.
Took a decade longer then usual & I was tuckered out.
But progress, slow yes, but progress.
So I now have a circuit to train on plus a benchmark to measure against.
I'm calling that a WIN.
Have a good day, y'all.
Love & peace
Yes, I agree.Benchmarks are good. Targets should be SMART so set a realistic timeframe. Sorry if the link seems to be condescending but it was the clearest explanation I could find.

Good morning,
Had a restless night, was anxious and didn't sleep well...woke up to a 6.2 fbg
Didn't surprise me though, I started my monthly yesterday and I woke up with a sore throat? I suppose that'll raise the sugars up.
Hope everyone has a better start to their day than me xo
Thank you @gennepherGreat dramatic scale...
Glad your mother is doing well @dunelm
GITB will keep well afloat in that gear...
It’s all going on at the cat diner. Lovely piece of art and the ink seems to be behaving.Fbg 6.7
The cat diner is in full swing for furred and feathered creatures.
Shadow sat on the swing after eating because she didn't finish her bowl. I think she was guarding it until she could take another mouthful. But creeping round the back of the swing, unseen, was Manky Ginger, and was polishing off the plate of wet food. Shadow is looking all around convinced there is another cat near, and then her head ducks down to under the swing....
'Oh, I am so sorry,' says Manky Ginger, 'I didn't know that was yours.' And he turns around and strolls up the path.
Shadow was lashing her tail expecting a battle, and it didn't happen...
Creative this morning. I'd mislaid my black Japanese Fude pen. So I had to do this in ordinary watercolour brush pens. I am still finding my way again with this.
No Popeye, but he is part of my text signature done in Snapseed, and I did the black frame there as well.
Coffee and a nap needed...

Thank you @ianpspurs - I will just do my warm up’s and then get that bin moving.Hello chums it is I, Breckland's imported idiot and purveyor of absolute nonsense - but at a knockdown price. Luvvly jubbly. No Swipey no test - Bob's agent sent him away to rethink that one. @dunelm excellent news on both the tickets and flotation aid. I hope your mother recovers as well as my MIL did from her replacement of replacements hips and knee replacement (of the original). Thank you for the art and do remember to warm up and warm down pre and post #binrollingoutandingate. @Krystyna23040 hopefully you are on the glide path to a restorative Easter break - as if you actually do such things. I'll sign off for now. Tea to drink, poems to read, a wife to serve - dodgy phrase round here with so many stud farms. Stay safe and warm chums. Toodle Pip Old Fruits.
Thank you @alf_JosiahGood Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who ponder on what shall I have for my evening meal.
A straight 5 on the meter of mischievousness this morning.
Here at Tilehurst Towers the house is quiet, no sound from the slumbering Mrs J, outside it looks damp, hmmm, me, me’s and myself have to be outside at midday. It’s the choice of apparel that is causing consternation, usual leather jacket or more waterproof, but not so warm textile jacked, do I trust the BBCs work of science fiction and fantasy known as the weather forecast?
Here I was pleased to read that @dunelm’s mother is doing well, @jjraak appears to be achieving steady progress, also congratulations on 52 years together @dogslife, apologies if I’ve missed anybody, but now I must perform my morning duty, make Mrs J’s morning tea, the slumbering wife has arisen.
Stay safe all.
I can relate to the Busy Doing Nothing routine and I cannot recommend enough having three 10mg tablets of Amitryptelene an hour before bed. Of course you will then only get 6 days in that week or sometimes 5 buy hey, the price of a pain free night. Good to read that you now have a circuit to train in - and an expandable one at that - ver’ chic.A wonky week of sleep again, has put me off of testing in AM.

It was the midnight dance of the wheelies here last night @dunelmGood morning everyone on a decidedly damp and gloomy start here in the dark and dangerous north - good joy we have been officially informed that it is Spring. Oh when will it snow Michael Fish?
Daughter not well so girl in the bubble gets another sleep over. This means that Mrs Miggins will need to be up in a wee while to get her to nursery for her 0730 start (breakfast included as long as you are not a picky child reflecting like a mirror the bad handling of your own parents back through time). I was always told that it took three generations of healthy women with three healthy births to make one healthy child - same idea making one Veruca Salt. Lucky for us that the girl in the bubble eats pretty much anything - not andouillette sausages though, but we are not in the Auvergne, or crazy (you speak for yourself I here you cry).
Art bit - back on the long sheets of rice paper. Enjoy your day, whatever you want to call it. I shall now drag the recycling bin, kicking and screaming out of it’s little house and into the drizzle. But first, some koffy and then a bit of warming up exercises.

Good National Bin day Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who have never raced at Silverhatch or Brandstone, no? Me neither.
A 4.8 this morning on that #£&* meter.
Today me, me’s and myself have routine annual liver ultrasound, in the paperwork it states the gel that is applied to the scanner head is warm…….yeah, warmed in a fridge. 20 minutes of lying on a bed in a darkened room, turning this way and that way holding my breath, just hope I don’t have an attack of flatulence…..
Well fellow posters and painters that’s my day sorted, stay safe.
Time to do a lateral flow test.
Hope all goes well today. That routine sounds much like a flexible cystoscopy in that the kindly staff always seem amazed one may be slightly tense or discomforted but the all clear is a wonderful feeling.Good National Bin day Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who have never raced at Silverhatch or Brandstone, no?

So here we are again bobbing up and down on a sea of mystery, awe, love, joy pain and world class gaslighting. Enough about me, how was your day? @Jojo85 yours clearly started badly and both issues can now be added to the list of fings wot affect bg other than carbs. @dunelm thanks for the art, go easy on that warm up and don't forget the warm down. Shall you be having the ice bath which is now de rigueur? Sorry to hear about your daughter but it's an ill wind etc and you get more precious time with TGIB. I don't know my fbg as I CBA to order another Swipey for now. Wearing one won't change how I manage The D one iota. We have 3 grandchildren all day and a school pickup to make it 4 plus 2 sons for evening meal - with takeaway portions for spouses. Here's a chune for you @dunelm. I absolutely insist Y'all take splendiferous care of your esteemed selves.
