What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Maybe not the best, but I can take my ears off, so I won't have to listen to any snoring, like you do...

But my priority is secure parking, because I ain't walking home from Liddypool to Wales... that would take me several years... @lindisfel
 
Thank you @ianpspurs
 
I had to go out early, to do some messages.
I had cleaned and tidied the kitchen last night.
When I came to leave, I hadn't been in the kitchen yet, and what faced me - a disaster area...

Sigh...

Was it cats fighting? I looked more closely, and under the sink where I leave clean white photo copy paper. Sure enough, tiny little paw prints. The first this year. I am assuming Midnight went full blast action with his massive body, and everything on the floor got relocated....


Looking again at (un)suitable accommodation ...this one by Anfield Football ground...the stuff of nightmares, you want to see their other home made bunk beds...could you even slide into that top bunk?




Still looking...there's a reason so many of them are so cheap...The Big House - NOOOOOOOOOOOO....

I stayed at some of these places 50 years ago when I first came to Liddypool, and they were the pits then...they look pretty now...

A nap now, and then another look...
 
You could get a couple of reflective strips to wrapped round her upper arms They take off and roll up easily into a small roll.
I wouldn't be happy with no strips on arms.

It is amazingly warm here also. A good idea to open all the windows to warm up your home.

Hope that you get the accommodation sorted.

I believe he tried to emulate the contortionist expertise of a cat in performing its toilet and sustained a permanent injury to his neck!
 
I definitely won't be doing that @lindisfel
 
Finally I took the plunge.
Booked somewhere out of Liddypool, ground floor, secure parking outside, supposedly a room for the disabled. The shower is in the bath. I cannot use a bath, neither can I climb into one to use a shower. Yet these rooms claim they are disabled friendly. I have had that idiocy before. I looked at photos of each room online - all the same. But the place ticked all my other boxes. Secure parking was the main one.

I feel relieved I have finally done this. The last few years I have dreaded the drive home after spending a few hours in the hospital, and I have been so tired.

As long as there is not an event happening on the site, this sounds like a reasonable option each time I go to the eye hospital. Otherwise this room would be many times this price. Eating places on the site and lots more. But I won't be bothering with them.

Now I need to work out what to take...meds, batteries, a long list.
 
Hi gennepher ,
I have felt so tired the last few years like you, after I had done a few things in the morning I went to sleep after lunch for half an hour today. I am hoping to feel more energetic this coming year. It can't be my age but likely at 84 next June.
Your so right not driving with overwhelming tiredness.
D.
 
I am 10 years younger than you, but I think you can physically do much more than me @lindisfel
 
Evening @lindisfel and @gennepher
I am younger than you both and feeling smug at that, but and big but I am now struggling with my mobility, driving in the dark and just suffering from a huge desire not to except the inevitability of age and medical conditions, as long as I breath I shall carry on being a huge pain in the but ( spelling this time deliberate ) to the time to except the etc,etc.
I shall ride my motorcycle as long, and as far as I can, allowing for bladder stops and koffy refuelling.
Onwards and upwards.
 
Good morning everyone from a tropical 7 degree pochette of warmth here in the dark and dangerous north. Despite rumours that half of Yorkshire is under avalanches of snow, that is at least two miles away on the road to Whitby and of course The Dales. Little going on today, not a good night so will be trying to catch up with some Z’s later. Art bit, monochrome and a hint of blue. Hope you all have a wonderful day. I shall drink koffy and then wonder why I can’t have a kip.


 
The way those steps are worn it looks as though old monks walked up them for a few hundred years after 4 pints of Black Sheep.

Another dark and wet morning.
We went shopping yesterday and spent what seemed to me an excessive amount on celebration food and drink (plus a new kettle) for two people. However we were told by a lovely young cashier that we had won! Unsure if this was one of the regular "check your receipt to see if you have won" special events I queried in french. We  can win or we  have won?
She assured us we had won and sent us to customer services to claim our prize.
A total value of our shop gift card. That's about three weeks worth of groceries in normal times. Winner indeed.
The gift card has to be used in the exact same store, so I can see my shopping habits changing in the new year.
The store we went to does not sell my low carb bread so I visited my usual store later in the day. They were not running the same event! A lucky day indeed.
 
Good morning everyone from a much less cold Exotic East. Spreadsheet says make today laundry day since heating won’t be so eagerly devouring the power budget. When JKP awakes, arises and becomes Monarch of all she surveys I’ll see if it is correct or needs a stern lecture. Today there is a little homily, a sonnet, a piece of art and some music here https://malcolmguite.wordpress.com/2021/12/20/. A year behind as he updates his blog later in the day. @dunelm thank you for sharing that stunning finish to your art and I do hope you manage some catch up sleep. @gennepher thanks for sharing that creative. At first glance very brooding but then the brightness makes it redemptively hopeful. @SlimLizzy a winner indeed. Enjoy the now free festive goodies. From what your posts do and don't fully say you two are richly deserving. @lindisfel you are doing amazingly well for 84. @alf_Josiah your theme tune must surely be I did it my way but if it ain't broke, don't fix it. Enjoy your day everyone. I need more tea and BCP morning prayer - my IIABDFI - feel free to rofl, join in, ponder my sanity or whatevs. Your life, your choices.
