Just got my California driving license too. Getting over 70 was not easy. I have been driving for over 35 years. I still have to take a driving knowledge test. Have to study the California Driver’s Handbook. Now I am good for another 5 years.

I am so pleased that I haven't needed to do a driving knowledge test @Omar51. Great that you passed the test.

Morning all on a soggy Maunday Thursday in Little America. I'm just hydrating before a drip trip into Addenbrookes Cambridge (3rd best in UK, allegedly) which is part of the sprawling Cambridge biomedical campus. The campus is Europe's largest, more like a large town, and growing. The next two month's appointments are scheduled for the small health centre in a nearby Fenland town. Those are more like attending a small club. We, myself and JKP, may meet with my uncle who suffers from anxiety so often agrees to meet then just can't. He likes Starbucks and wants to food shop in M and S. Starbucks and M and S food are close together in one of the retail parks on the edge of the city so hopefully that will work. Have a good (wet and chilly?) day.

Hope the drip trip went well today @ianpspurs
 
Really did loads of work today. Lots of admin and also finished the last part of my sorting out and tidying my stuff that I had planned to do over the holiday.

It didn't take as long as I thought it would and it is lovely to be able to find things now.

Daughter and family arrive tomorrow afternoon.
Mr K has given the house a deep clean. I don't think it actually needed it but it does feel good to have it all done.

I googled @Annb
"what to use if I don't have a driving licence ID"
After reading this lot...
https://www.google.com/search?q=wha...ie=UTF-8&oe=UTF-8&hl=en-gb&client=safari#ip=1
I concluded I would keep my driving licence if at all possible even if I didn't drive any more...

I hope the container filling is going well...

Thanks for that Gennepher. I think you're right, I should just renew my driving license. I can't drive any more because, although nobody seems to be able to identify why, my eyesight is deteriorating and, even as a passenger, I have to close my eyes to avoid them going completely out of focus. Not a good way of driving. However, I'm not sure if I can legally hold a driving license in light of this deterioration.
 
Good morning everyone on a bright and sunny start to this Good Friday here in the dark and dangerous north. Funny old start to the day. I like to sit in silence with my thoughts first thing and see what pops out. Today, thoughts on friends past and in particular the family who will be experiencing what would have been the birthday of mum/grandmother for the first time. Second thought - a line from the film Fight Club - “We buy things we don’t need, to impress people we don’t like.” We have been invited to Buck house for a garden party later this year - do I need a new hat? No. Hopefully those there will be people that we do like - and may even like us. Time will tell. Still, cheer up - carp the Deum and all that.
If the sun stays out there might be a wander down the beach. Low tide today is at 1152 so potential for a good walk - watch out for tourists mind - grrrh! ;) :cool:. Still, they bring joy and happiness to the traffic wardens and the ice cream sellers :rolleyes:. Art bit - quick brush stroke - see what I can make of it once dry. I hope your Friday is truly good for you. I must finish my koffy and then open a new pack.

Bit of a mix to your day it seems.

A hug for the loss.

It does sharpen the focus on what truly IS important in life.

The film was a good un, lots of good observations ...likeyed muchly.

And the win ? That was for the royal invite.

I'd say that was an event to mark & be proud of.

Enjoy the day in all it's splendour.

As we all know, for all it's many ups & downs, many don't get that simple pleasure.

Peace.
 
Morning all.

No FBG cos some days it's up & at em,
& Others it's more ..meh.

Lazy day yesterday.
Furry nephew over for the night.

Mooched around the house all day.
Highlight was Frankie's walk & a home made curry...delicious.

I was always aware of the rain due to the motorcycle, and took decent note of the wind

( No fun being miles from home & being surprised by the wind battering you across the motorway ..eek )

Sat listening to the wind here yesterday, weather channels saying gust of 40mph....mmhh

The gusts sounded & felt much faster than that ..by far.

Later I saw this, which perhaps confirmed my suspicions.

London issued tornado warning as strong winds hit today

The Tornado & Storm Research Organisation has issued a warning for possible tornados across London today, Thursday March 28.

Anyways, me & toto just chillin out here & glad to still be in Kansas.... :cool:

Enjoy.
 
BG at 03:30 was 10.7 - Libre woke me at that point. Still around the same. Have taken basal insulin and had 3 cups of tea so far. Breakfast soon - with insulin - and that will probably make it drop to a fairly normal range, But who can tell? I never know how it's going to go.

More helping Neil get stuff out of the loft today, but first I must clean the oven - I made a cake and the batter overflowed from the tin and now there's a huge dollop of baked batter on the floor of the oven. Makes the oven unusable for any baking until I get it done. Never had a cake do that before. Aw well - always a first time for everything.

Good morning from California!
Happy Good Friday 4.38 mmol/L 79 mg/dL. Two more days of rain ️got to find indoor activities! I will find something to do and make it look like it’s important, better than just watching TV!

5.2 this morning. Am amazed at the low reading.

Mr K placed a bowl of salted peanuts between us while we were watching a film last night. I just couldn't resist them nor the Montazumas 100% chocolate buttons that were calling me from the kitchen cupboard. I was expecting a really bad fbg. Really weird that it was so good.

House all ready for our visitors. Won't be able to log in so often for next few days.

I think sometimes we get away with it because the body isn't looking or not expecting such a sneaky, low down surprise attack ..mmhh

Just be aware, it know us, and has a memory that even elephants envy.

Just saying ala HSB.....

"Be careful out there ".. :cool: ;)

Yes @jjraak I am being really careful today as I know that I won't get away with it 2 days in a row.

Interesting art bit. This is my second look after a cuppa...just seen the man with the wheelbarrow...I was too fixated watching the left building slide into the earth @dunelm
 
Fbg 6.7

Sun out first thing.Another look for my red dragon.
But no sight of him. More holes being dug..more garden being rearranged...

Flowers out, mostly yellows, but pink flowers and blue flowers just emerging.

Nighttime wildlife video
Badger & Fox & Cat
25 secs

I have just taken last night's SD cards out, and will check them this afternoon. There was obviously an awful lot of activity in my garden last night like the whole of the countryside was in it.... I'll post in the morning if there's anything interesting...

Creative is the yellow flowers on my bay tree. It is massive and it has loads of yellow flowers. It is at least 30 feet tall and it's planted in totally the wrong location but it has thrived really well there. It is hit full force by the powerful sea winds, we have....
You've guessed it, J bought it for me. I have several bay trees that J bought me, he advised I keep them in pots. But this was the last one he bought and I had no more pots left so I just plonked it in the garden soil and left it to its own devices.... it is the healthiest bay tree that I have. when I have time I am going to take the others out of their pots, (actually they are massively big high pots which will probably work well for my new vegetable garden next year), and I will put the bay trees at the end of the garden to act as a wind shield.

Lunch time...
What to eat...
Have your best day...
