Brilliant thanks
Yes, wiping the hard drive can be a bit of a worry so these folks, recommended in this months Which magazine, do wipe your discs according to the blurb on their web site: https://weeecharity.co.uk/services/data-wiping
It also asks if you want this done when you fill in the online form to book a collection.
I meant all but you @alf_Josiah go cause mayhemGood Morening
" Keep out of trouble " now that's worth a funny
Good morning to you @Muddy Cyclist - nice fbg. Mine was 5.2 - how trustworthy that is one can debate for some time. Much more obvious is that it is not worth the 3.30 waking. 10 gms carb and massive calorie deficit from yesterday. Tempting to blame some of the chemicals being pumped into me but in truth going too low carb has done this from day 1. Doesn't help that so much of the LCHF playbook is about as appealing to me as deep fried Patagonian Warble flies with cow pats. Quite like tea though. Good day to remember Jeremiah 29.11 Have a good day folks.
This is what we have that passes for cat yoghurt here...
There are others, but this is on Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/cat-yoghurt/s?k=cat+yoghurt
I did look at Amazon.com but all I can find is some that originates from Japan.
Don’t know is that is any help.
Thanks! I will check that out. I just joined Amazon Prime, thanks to a tip from a FB friend -- there is a discount for seniors on a low income -- so I am always looking for interesting items. I joined here:
amazon.com/qualify.
Maybe amazon.co.uk has the same sort of offer.
Hope all goes well at the doctors...x6.9 on the sort of rainy morning we have needed for weeks, the kind that looks settled in for the day, the kind that makes me want to stay in and sleep.
And I have to go out. Doctor's appointment in 4 hours. Sigh.
ETA: clouds parting now, sun coming out. Yay!
Hope all goes well at the doctors...x
Hey that all sounds satisfactory and a plan going forward too. Glad you enjoyed the sunshine in good temperatures too. Autumn or Spring sun can be so much more pleasant than summer. What a great idea about the riding barn...that would be a lovely passtime and they would be very lucky to have your experience. So all in all a good day I would say. Bet the KC was all over you when you got back.Thank you. It went OK. I enjoyed just being out, seeing other people, having a change of scenery. But they didn't do everything they'd planned because their online appointment form is confusing. I was supposed to have something called a "wellness check" but that was not a choice on the online form, so I booked a regular appointment. Turns out they do appointments in blocks of time -- doctor's appointment is 15 minutes, a wellness check is 30 minutes. So they just checked vitals and took blood. They also check only certain "panels" in blood work, so the doc had to put in a special request for a Vitamin D3 check. Apparently that's how Medicare works, and apparently it costs a lot more to check D3 levels than to check iron and cholesterol. Weird.
Anyway, this time the assistant made my next appointment online so hopefully she got it right! It will add 15 minutes to my January A1C appointment, which presumably will allow 15 minutes for the Medicare "wellness" check in addition to the regular blood work.
Whatever. I don't have to pay anything out of pocket, and I have no desire to waste Medicare's money. The doctor was shocked that I hadn't had a "senior" wellness check since turning 65 -- I was kinda shocked that she'd never said I needed one! I didn't even know such a thing existed. lol
Sorry -- I didn't mean to write a novel! I did enjoy a nice walk afterwards in the sunshine and 22-degree breeze. I walked all the way to McDonald's, telling myself that the exercise was so good for me it would counteract the food. On Sunday I enjoyed sitting out in the sunshine on our patio -- I'd forgotten how nice it is to sit outside in the sunshine. It's been so hot here, and the mosquitoes, et al., have been so hungry, that sitting outside has not been a good idea for months.
I think I am going to contact the local therapeutic riding barn and ask if I can get some therapy just coming and watching some of their lessons in exchange for being available to hold a horse, check a girth, latch a gate, shorten stirrups, etc.

What a great idea Saskia the therapeutic effect of horses is well known, they are wonderful creatures aren’t they? Did you use to ride? My eldest daughter had a horse and loved to ride, but I’ve never had the confidence to relax enough in the saddle. I loved watching though, and the smell of the stables.
What a day you have had but glad you enjoyed the walk and sunshine. Great idea to spend some time with horses, beautiful creatures. Of all the horses we owned two in particular were very special both mares, gentle and protective. When you acheive that bond between human and horse when they seem to anticipate your every move and thought it's a tremendous honour a relationship very different to that with a dog or cat, I feel greatfull that I have been able to experience it. Hope you can get some hands on and do some grooming and yes that horsey smell, good for the soul.Thank you. It went OK. I enjoyed just being out, seeing other people, having a change of scenery.

After this morning's Mountain Bike ride I was inspired to do some watercolour painting but Mrs MC had other ideas and we spent the afternoon walking around Shugborough Hall which is on our doorstep, Autumn is settling in and the late afternoon sun was glorious, this is Mrs MC walking through the gardens and trees and a toadstool and cyclist from this mornings ride.

Can that be right geefull?...you may be in remission but essentially when we reach that stage (I haven't yet) we are still diabetic...for goodness sake how short sighted some practices are.I was going to go out and ask about the flu jab price today, my health practice says I'm not entitled to a free one yet since I'm considered 'in remission'
