Aw poor Kiki
But got a funny for the subtle description of the horror movie that turned into
Been there....Done that .
Aw poor KikiThis required two poeple and only one of them escaped unscathed.
I did have RH about 20 years before the diabetes diagnosis. I would swing from crazy highs to crazy lows. It then developed into diabetes and I only got the crazy highs (not lows which I wrote in error) .Did I write this?
Sure you ain't got RH?
Never had inulin.
And of course lactose intolerance.
And my headmaster enjoyed dealing out punishment especially the corporal type to the peasents. Who had the temerity to gain admittance to his grammar school by passing the 11+ exam.
Watered down milk is an abomination @Annb.Tapioca pudding! Our school cooks made it with watered down milk. I could take the milk but not the tapioca. 2 of my intolerances are tapioca and arrowroot. Watered down milk is an abomination in a milk pudding. After all, the whole point of the pudding is the milk which preferably would be Jersey milk with some added double cream. But not tapioca.
Hope got a good night's sleep @gennepher after a very tiring day yesterday.I am late to the party today.
Fbg this morning was 6.9
I was overtired yesterday...those blooming badgers...and went to sleep yesterday evening, but then was awake the rest of the night. Nothing would induce sleep.
I had to do some fridge shopping this morning. By the time I came back I was so tired I went to bed and have been sleeping catching up on sleep.
What happened yesterday, when I went out the kitchen door, I found the badgers had broken my fireguard. I have a very large metal fireguard, protecting some bins, and things which I keep things in them like the recycle bags et cetera, and all this is protected behind the fireguard from the badgers. This has worked no problem for 12 months. I also have bin bags full of junk from the garage that are waiting to be thrown out when there is room in the wheelie. No food or anything edible in them. But the badger/s broke the front of the fireguard, got in and ripped open the bin bags, and scattered the contents everywhere.
It took me the rest of yesterday to clean it up, repair the fireguard with wire. And then I found some bird netting. I never used it on my vegetable garden. But I decided it would be suitable to wrap the fireguard in, and over the tops of the bins. My theory being that it would be awkward/uncomfortable for the badger and his claws.
So, I was drop dead exhausted by last night, and no sleep was not good.
The badgers never touched that area last night, so maybe it worked. But it makes it inconvenient to get at my stuff.
Last night the badgers took the lid off my wormery. And had been trying to get that heavy upturned plant pot out of it, in order to get at the worms. The badgers had obviously tried very hard.
I need to protect my wormery better, but I haven't got any energy at all today. Just thought...I have some army camouflage netting...but where is it? I'm thinking the badger might not like the feel of that in his claws...
It's gone 3 pm. I need to sort that now. And replace the SD cards with fresh ones. And get my recycling bags filled. It is a pain having these stupid bags, they are not badger proof, and I cannot leave them out overnight round here. There is devastation in all the streets round here by the time the dustbin men come to collect the recycling in the morning. I have to make sure they are out by 6,30am to catch the wagon at 7 am. They should have had wheelies for recycling. They did in Liverpool where I lived 20 years ago.
And the wildlife nighttime videos. Here is footage from the night before last, and at the end you can definitely see 4 badgers, two badgers are eyes, but they can be seen going into the area of my kitchen passage, where the fireguard was broken and the bin bags opened. They are the culprits.
Nighttime wildlife video.

Thank you @Krystyna23040Hope got a good night's sleep @gennepher after a very tiring day yesterday.
It was so hard to say no @SlimLizzy . Luckily they disappeared very fast because I was so tempted I couldn't have held out for much longer.You are stronger than I.
Poor Kiki @SlimLizzyHappy Birthday Midnight. From Kiki.
She is looking a bit disgruntled because she has just suffered through her first tick extraction. This required two poeple and only one of them escaped unscathed.View attachment 67038
All is well @jjraak . This morning was really hectic and I had no chance to get on the forum as my hairdresser friend came really early to trim our hair - and of course we did a lot of chatting. Then I rushed out to walk Poppy before my sister arrived to help with the accounts and admin. We got through loads of work.I hope all is well, @Krystyna23040 seems to be missing ...
That's good @gennepher - you certainly needed the sleepThank you @Krystyna23040
I am catching up on that sleep.
MrSlim is over 70. His new french driving licence expires in 2039, the same day as mine. Huge relief for both of us as neither of us fancy taking our test again.
Amazing variety and quality of produce there. After all the issues with the greenhouse previously a well deserved crop and many a feast ahead.Cold wind and intermittent sunshine.
Outside temperature is actually in the greenhouse. View attachment 67040
The plants are loving it.

The little black box is the sensor which sends temperature readings to the display unit indoors.
Interesting about the connection between intolerance and asthma. Lots of family asthma both sides.It is definitely hereditary.
My brother and first husband's sister were both lactose intolerant as children. Of course neither of us remembered that as adults. First child fine, no problems. Second multiple intorerances. Asthma, eczema and hayfever. Still gets bouts of all three as an adult, esp after too many milk products.
My daughter ( third child) was Lactose intolerant to age 8.
Daughter married a man who has dust mite allergy. His sister has gluten intolerance.
Their children have all had or still got lactose intolerance.
The second also had gluten intolerance. She still has to be careful and carries an asthma inhaler.
Third child( don't tell her but I thought they were mad) severe milk intolerance.
And baby IV. Milk intolerance. Not so severe. Will probably grow out of it sooner than her brother did.
I dread to think what complications their future children might have if they don't pick partners carefully.
During my first four years at this wonderful establishment, I was on the end of a cane, a metal ruler, a chalkboard eraser, a plimsole, a t square, chalk thrown at me, hair pulled, slapped around the head, elbowed, threatened and numerous detentions.I did have RH about 20 years before the diabetes diagnosis. I would swing from crazy highs to crazy lows. It then developed into diabetes and I only got the crazy highs (not lows which I wrote in error) .
Now it seems to have progressed to no highs but quite a few crazy lows which do leave me headachy and tired. Hopefully it will settle down.
I love Pink Sun inulin as it is really sweet, but as it is a fibre it can cause havoc in my gut if I eat too much.
Your headmaster was a very nasty man. He should never have been a headmaster.
The thing was, in my school, not only was the head allowed to commit punishment, it was not uncommon, it was the norm for any teacher could inflict hurt on any child. And believe or not the head boy could on occasion use the cane.I did have RH about 20 years before the diabetes diagnosis. I would swing from crazy highs to crazy lows.
