As you gain control @Jacks1213 no doubt it will make you feel better that you are gaining more in your life generally.
Hope you soon feel better, most of us go through these times.
Have a good day.

As you gain control @Jacks1213 no doubt it will make you feel better that you are gaining more in your life generally.Morning , never tested yesterday as i had a huge panic attack so it wouldn't have given a good reading . This morning 12.2 so lowering .
You are right about the tyres we have here. I had snow tyres in Germany similar to those in Scandinavia. They had great big metal studs in. Mind you, they also didn’t bother with salting roads. Snow chains on land rovers to play Jingle Bells as you drove along.You must be a townee @Lamont D I have been using maps since being a beginning teenager and was never without one.
Mothers eldest brother was manager of a big bakery chain in Bristol. He was a master baker. All he did was point his big Daimler in the general direction of where he wanted to go and put his foot down. I dont think he believed in maps.
By the way @dunelm the snow tyres they have in Scandanavia grip on snow and ice are not these jokes they put on townee cars here.
Spent 30 years going up mountains in the northlands in winter even with low ratio and diff lock I got a Range Rover stuck on on a big snow drift with all four wheels off the ground. We aways carried a shovel to dig the snow out.
I dont go out when its bad now.
Land rovers we had, long wheel base, they were cold and uncomfortable vehicles to drive 150 miles in a day in servicing transmitters...cold feet.
One guy charged a snow drift without putting his wipers on and we finished up off the road when thick snow from the drift covered the windscreen on a mountain road.

I absolutely love this again @dunelmGood morning everyone on a promised 11 degrees here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.7 this am. A busy day today. We have an ice sculpture trail to wander round then a craft fair to avoid before reporting for a British Legion lunch in the upper room of a local pub. Lots of other things going on, beer and carols, story telling in the library, a franchised Santa to ho ho ho at any opportunity to young and old alike and a host of other activities. No doubt the town cryer will be out and about making proclomations. We have a lady town cryer but she has a good carrying voice. Should I dress as Martin Chuzzlewit? Art bit - just two colours, Paynes Grey and Burnt Sienna on wet watercolour paper and applied with the blockbuster video card and a sprinkling of salt. Hope everyone has a pleasant day and @Jacks1213, hope today is better for you. Koffy, must make koffy.
I gave you a hug today @alf_JosiahGood Morening Ladies and Gentleman. Yep that’s it straight to the point.
Blood sugars this morning were 6.0
Tasks to be completed while the energy chamber is full. Forget dilithium we are talking pure unadulterated caffeine here. Then and only then will the morning and afternoon naps take place. It has been decreed by Mrs J using the phrase “ Make it so “
Stay safe avoid Carol singers or Janet or any other name singers
Ahead warp factor 7 into today and the future.
A big coffee @Krystyna230406.8 this morning. Surprisingly warm dog walk around the park this morning. Very mild here at the moment.
Must get on and carry on with the to-do list. The Christmas lesson plans were all sent out yesterday. So now to tackle the next job on the list. Perhaps another coffee will help.
Thank you @gennepher. I made the Paynes Grey with Prussian Blue, A dab of crimson and a touch of yellow ochre.
Fish and chips - marvelous and hope the car is now performing well. My dad is 95 and still going strong despite refusing stents and each day is a gift to be enjoyed.Good morning all hope today is an easy day, had to go into Carlisle again and into local town in pm yesterday. But we came back from Carlisle with haddock and chips from Johns Plaice, very nice for a treat.
Have a peaceful day if you can and a wonderful time with your friends and family as is humanly possible by making allowance for others.
It is good how we enjoy peace here.
Lifes too short at 84 for anything else.

Thank you @ianpspurs. Eliot’s Wasteland or that tune by The Who. We must interpret things in our own way. I rarely know what it is supposed to be with this abstract stuff. I bet Piet Mondrian just liked painting rectangles and squares and a bit of colouring in.Morning all from L.A. on sleepy Saturday. I have a cold so remembering the mantra of not that long ago going out to spread it about is absurd. @dunelm thanks for sharing that wonderful piece - my first reaction was an illustration for Eliot's Wasteland but what do I know, what do I know? Enjoy this action packed day. @Jacks1213 as said above , I hope today is a better day for you. @JohnEGreen the fbg is a small price to pay for pleasure from food. @Krystyna23040 surely it it nearly holiday time but if not take it as easy as someone like yourself can. @Lamont D just a hug and doff of the cap from someone who saw something similar with my dad and knows JKP will almost certainly face that ahead whatever I say or do to ameliorate matters. Have a wonderful poem based on possibly my favourite pericope (Isaiah 11 6-9) even when I was in my (compulsory?) nihilst phase. That poem or stop the boats? tough choice for an aspirational vision for my grandchildren. ’ Tis time for the great O Antiphons tomorrow- Ero Cras
A hug is always welcome. Thank you kind ladyI gave you a hug today @alf_Josiah
Just because...
Enjoy the coffee. To be truly East Anglian one must pronounce it as though maaarled not myulled - I'm slowly teaching JKP. Will Mr K be watching El Tractico?6.8 this morning. Surprisingly warm dog walk around the park this morning. Very mild here at the moment.

Thank you for that info @dunelmThank you @gennepher. I made the Paynes Grey with Prussian Blue, A dab of crimson and a touch of yellow ochre.
Make sure you have an up-to-date mapI want to ask you all, for your tips on travelling by car around the country or continent.I
My first one is deliberate, cos it did happen!
Do not put the wrong postcode in the sat nav!
Very much a townie @lindisfel. Have never spent more than a few days in the wild.You must be a townee @Lamont D I have been using maps since being a beginning teenager and was never without one.
