Please get some Viscotears, it's possible to damage your cornea even by your eye lashes rubbing on your eyes
Please get some Viscotears, it's possible to damage your cornea even by your eye lashes rubbing on your eyesGets me moving though. Moving semi blind because I can hardly keep my eyes open - that's why I am usually a slow starter in the morning, I have to literally prise my eyes open with my fingers. Dry eyes apparently.
Edit: software changed my spelling of prise to pries - I don't even know what that is. I've changed it back again. Oh, of course, it's part of the verb to pry.
Good tip. Very helpful community this. Forgot to say yesterday sounds positive for you both and a Lincolnshire boy should be a fish and chips connoisseur.Please get some Viscotears, it's possible to damage your cornea even by your eye lashes rubbing on your eyes
As has been mentioned - viscotears - I used to get them on prescription but due to cuts/covid/Brexit/strikes/rumors of royal rows etc., I now buy my own.Gets me moving though.

Good news @ianpspurs that a raft of numbers suggest nothing bad from your bloods. So definitely 'on you go'The Big C hurls the 90+ mph thunbderbolts that will get you in the end however good yer technique. I'm still in for now and a raft of numbers suggest nothing bad from my bloods so on we go.
Salted caramel ice cream is my downfall and After Eights. I had also forgotten how much nicer 75% chocolate is than 100%.I never believed those who said how horrible previously beloved treats now tasted until now. Not too sweet, just a hideous aftertaste in general. One exception is the single After Eight I tried - well worth the 5.8/9 carbs for me
I think one of my initial problems with LC was reading how food items which clearly tasted divine to me were either "not food" or something e.g back then Montezumas/Absolute Black/Halo Top (hideous) tasted better. Lower carb and equally enjoyable are not the same. Obviously some people do enjoy the higher percentage chocolate more but one can't extrapolate from that into a golden rule. As the alcohol ads say, enjoy responsibly (but always be honest with yourself)Salted caramel ice cream is my downfall and After Eights. I had also forgotten how much nicer 75% chocolate is than 100%.
Green and Blacks dark mint chocolate bar looks like a good swap.

30% carbs in this versus 74% in After Eight. May be an idea - no guide but I find the G and B acceptable.
You are most welcome - just don't blame me if you don't like it.Green and Blacks dark mint chocolate bar looks like a good swap. Thank you @ianpspurs
I have been using the Optrex spray for a long time, but I don't think it is enough. I'll ask Neil to try to get Viscotears for me next shopping day.Please get some Viscotears, it's possible to damage your cornea even by your eye lashes rubbing on your eyes
Is this where you are going to stay in Scotland?Good morning everyone on the silence that is always louder just before the cavalcade of the bin lorry here in the dark and dangerous north. Sad about Jeff Beck - Hi ho silver lining - RIP. Yesterday was looking at cars (Mrs Miggins’ idea of a good morning out) - I slipped off to TK Max, took loads of drugs and was mobbed by models as the word got out - oops! Getting confused now about reality so best just do a U-turn on that one. Phone call with my GP at 9 this morning, well, ten to. I must be dead popular at the practice. Off early in the morning - a long weekend in Scotland so may or may not post depending upon current population of flying haggis, quality of ski slopes and what bargains can be grabbed on distillery tours (a bit like chateaux tours in France - taste it on the tour and then buy at a local shop). Art bit - cobbles to Thursday. Have the best day that you can. My koffy is now brewed.

Sounds a brilliant sky to watch @AnnbThose colours are echoed in our sky this morning - very pink on the horizon, a layer of almost navy blue cloud and almost white shading to deep blue before we reach the heavier night time clouds overhead - still with that odd blueish hint in them. No yellows yet, but maybe when the sun comes up ...
Edit: 2 typos had to be fixed.
Sky is brighter now and the yellow has appeared amongst the pink.
They are entertaining @jjraak aren't they!Haha....
Looks like one of the red wolves was going through his paces at an audition.
"Ok, sweet cheeks, gimmee ' inquisitive '..nice, nice.
Now show me surprise....Surprised & a little scared....
Lovely dahling, just divine "
"Gee thanks ....how did I do ? ..be honest " (grins & poses Joey style 4:00 )
"Don't call us, sweetie... we'll call you ...NEXT ! "
There's lots to see besides cats !Still just about morning so snuck in before the bell. Serum bg at 10.50 yesterday from half an armful was 5.1 after 2x 750 mls tea with h/m almond milk - basically white water, Seems I may have a rudimentary grasp of this LC lingo but I will never go native. Anyhow, T2 is more like a journeyman dobber who I can easily milk for runs and stay in, with common sense. The Big C hurls the 90+ mph thunbderbolts that will get you in the end however good yer technique. I'm still in for now and a raft of numbers suggest nothing bad from my bloods so on we go. @gennepher thanks for the bright creative. I saw a kingfisher but to be honest I didn't look hard for cats initially, sorry. Went back and saw both. @dunelm thanks for sharing the development of your artwork - sturdy and reassuring. Not you the artwork. Loving the cobbles in the art, not good for me to walk along these days. Good that the Drs have taken a shine to you. What colour will the Tesla be? Enjoy Scotland, just don't fall in on those visits - take you years to drink your way out. @Krystyna23040 enjoy those Christmas treats your bg will be fine. I never believed those who said how horrible previously beloved treats now tasted until now. Not too sweet, just a hideous aftertaste in general. One exception is the single After Eight I tried - well worth the 5.8/9 carbs for me. We'll run some pheasant breast with red wine and Crème fraîche sauce up the flagpole later and see who salutes. Take care because the best our govt aspire to offer is (very) minimal to no levels of service, with a scowl and threat of jail: except for he's one of our own, he's one of our own, you know who, he's one of our own.
Enjoy your north of the border break. Not an awful lot to do in Oban last time I was there. But it's attractive. Fort William is pretty good for shopping (at least, it is if you are used to the standard of shops on the Islands) and the scenery is spectacular with the hills, the loch and, of course, Ben Nevis. Wouldn't try to climb it though - bad time of year for that.we are off to Oban tomorrow and then up to Fort William
