Late today, getting into the thread. I was up at 3.15 but painkillers put me back to sleep in the chair until 6.15. Before sleeping I did take my basal insulin and a dose of the bolus to try to get my 11.9 reading down a bit. By 6.15 it was 9.4. Then it was all hands on deck (I only have 2 of them but that has to do) to get showered and weighed and get everything ready for cleaner coming early afternoon, before I dashed out to get my legs rebandaged and bloods taken. I wasn't sure we'd be home in time for my cleaning lady so left the door open for her to get in. In the end, blood letting only took minutes instead of the normal 3/4 hour so we're back in good time.
Managed to walk into the fish shop (from the car parked right outside the door, but I did walk in) and select my own fish for a change. Lovely fresh looking haddock and salmon and some proper smoked haddock as well. Also managed to walk in to the pharmacy (same arrangement with the car) to collect my prescription. I might actually be making some kind of progress.
I see that Ian was in the middle of getting his drip - hopefully done by now, or does it take hours to finish?
@lindisfel, £48 is a lot for the bird food. Your feathered friends are going to be very lucky this winter. Lovely autumn colours in your hamlet.
@alf_Josiah - hope you weren't too disappointed that your local zealots avoided you. I have always felt that the people pushing their religion at you are doing it with the best of intentions, be they JW, Mormon, Evangelical, whatever. Nevertheless, it would be best to be offered as a gift, not thrust down people's throats.
@gennepher, glad to hear that the news of your friends MIL is hopeful.
@SlimLizzy, hope both of you feel better soon. Best not to use up too much energy while a bit under the weather.
@dunelm, wonderful art, poignant and evocative.
There have been lots of posts since I last checked, so I hope I haven't missed anyone. Apologies if I have.
