FBG six point three
A wonderfully productive and relaxing day, more of the same please said Mr K sotto voce .6.2 this morning.
Saw a beautiful sunset on our late afternoon walk with Poppy. Colours were muted and very atmospheric.
Yesterday I decided to try out accessing my Professional Bodies training videos on my kindle fire tablet instead of my PC.
It was so much better on my recliner in the conservatory than sitting upright at the PC. I could watch a bit then close my eyes and reflect on the information and then write down the info that was useful for me and my clients.
I also did lots of switching between the studying and relaxing and reading.
Very interesting that by doing this my brain retained and understood the info much better and also was able to effortlessly work out, while I was relaxing and reading, how to effectively use what I was learning in my classes.
One of the hazards of making contact with people after a long time and especially for me reading how others here live is that one homes in on their "achievements" and compares them to our own struggles/ lack of accomplishments. Before anyone pipes up I know I'm a fine one to talk but one never knows, me making that point may finally be a use for me hanging around here stinking out the place like the smell of fried fish. Does your cousin make food renowned throughout the whole local area or provide wisdom to this forum and to many others over the years? Is she dealing with the pain you are? Did she fight to achieve an M.A. while supporting a family? We tend to look up not straight ahead or in the rear view mirror. You are doing amazingly well at being you. Particularity is very important in both us as individuals and the here and now not just as a theological concept. Take it away Bruno. LyricsMy cousin puts me to shame. She's almost exactly a year older than me so is into her 81st year and she tells me that she runs 4 or 5 miles every day and goes line dancing once a week as well as walking everywhere that she can. I can't even walk across the kitchen floor without the danger of falling over. Quite a lady - she's had 3 husbands and 4 children, several grandchildren and a couple of great grandchildren and she still has energy to spare!
BG 9.5 by the time I got to the kitchen this morning (04.20) but it was higher during the night and still in the 10's when I sat on the edge of my bed. At the moment, though it is 4.4 - that's after RyVita and Tartex for breakfast. Need to keep an eye on that.
Probably the 3 husbands that have given the energy, my sister is the same!My cousin puts me to shame.

Its lovely when we re connect or just find relatives we had an inkling were out there, but not too sure. I found relatives through an obituary in an American funeral directors thousands of miles away! 4 years on I have discovered lots of family I never knew on my dads side. I finally feel loved and connected, something I never felt growing up. Happy New Year to everyone on here and watch we don't get blown away or snowed in, rain and high winds for my neck of the woods but my cousins in the USA have had blizzards!I started all this family history stuff about 25 years ago trying to find my cousin, with whom we had lost contact. Today I got a message from her son on the Ancestry website with his mother's telephone number. So I phoned and, at last, I'm back in contact with her! Wonderful. I couldn't be happier.
8.7 at 0350 this morning. Jumped to 10.9 on the strength of a cup of tea, but calmed down a bit when I took some insulin and had some breakfast. A jolly time was had by all this afternoon, especially the children but it was very tiring. Nothing I could risk eating there, so just had the anticipated cup of tea. Just as well I had a breakfast. Time to think about a meal of some kind this evening and another cup of tea. No, a cup of coffee. A celebratory one.
Should have linked this , mainly the chorus - wurdz. Happy New Year Alfred, you finerly gott me."Does your cousin make food renowned the whole local area or provide wisdom to this forum and many others over the years?

Uh huh. Warts 'n' all. That's what you get with me.
Several of my friends tell me that the scars on my face aren't noticeable. I can see them when I can bear to look in the mirror but I tell myself that it's not my problem - I can't see my face most of the time. The problem is for those looking at me. I don't believe myself but I try to shrug it off. However, yesterday, a small boy I've never seen before looked at me and asked "What happened to your nose?" (That's the biggest scar.) I didn't want to mention cancer to him in case it bothered him so just said that I'd had an operation on my nose and had to have the end of it cut off. He accepted that and went away quite happily. So much for it not being noticeable!
Good to see you here and thank you. I'm certain we all wish the same for you.Just popping in to wish you all peace, good health and happiness that lasts throughout 2025.
It has been a lovely day @ianpspurs.A wonderfully productive and relaxing day, more of the same please said Mr K sotto voce .Happy New Year to you both
@Annb I absolutely totally agree with everything @ianpspurs has written here.One of the hazards of making contact with people after a long time and especially for me reading how others here live is that one homes in on their "achievements" and compares them to our own struggles/ lack of accomplishments.
