Have a thought for us poor old and young retired forum members it's hard enough keeping tabs on my week as it is without the two of you mixing us up I also had to go and double check, especially as I am sat waiting for a delivery due on Tuesday! Now is that tomorrow? Hmmmmm.
 
@HarryBeau and @Muddy Cyclist whoops sorry! I only realised when reading back on the posts I’d missed and seeing so many people saying ‘Happy Monday’ and wondering how the whole forum was up and awake before me - then dawned on me it was yesterday. Doesn’t take much to confuse me - but yes HarryBeau I should definitely lay off the sauce for a bit - not enough brain cells left to waste them like that!
 
@jjraak I’ve only just caught up and read about your nephew. Your post made my scalp tingle and bought back memories of our vigil when my brother was in a coma. The NHS as you say, really does deliver when it matters most. Even when they can’t help medically, the kindness and compassion of the staff is what we remember - those mental hugs. I hope you get some good news soon.
@gennepher you are so right about trying to spread a little happiness where possible. I’ve had those small kindnesses offered to me and the memory of them still fills me with happiness. Such small acts but such a large effect.
 
Ha ha its so dark here atm I think it isnt really the time the clock says but several hours earlier. Good luck with the wardrobe, dont envy you that. Lots of scratching of head and mutterings may ensue!
 
@DJC3 do keep us informed of how the libre works - I'm still debating whether to do as you are - try for a fortnight first then maybe the month before A1c, use the equivalent on a personal trainer or both. Don't know about others but I will be fascinated by what you learn as distinct from what appears on screen. No offence to anyone else but you seem to be quite grounded so an opinion I value (food choices and TV tastes notwithstanding). My big win for today is fitbit now randomly switched back to uk time I miss the sun at breakfast
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are not chasing their tails and feel the pressure is less today, a very special greeting to those have friends, relatives and themselves going through tough times. Me and me's hope all ends well.

An interesting 5.7 for me this morning, this meter is up to no good.

The BBC's work of science fiction and fantasy ie the weather forecast is a work of art this morning, I shall resume looking out of the front door.

Enjoy your day, remembering to look for the silver lining should you so desire.
 
Good morning everyone on this rather damp but promising pre-bin opportunity.

The wonder wheel of up at 0400 and then back to bed at about 0500 gave a weary 5.6 this am.

Dried fruit have been soaking in prune juice overnight so will be making my Fakemass Cake this morning - or what’s left of it.
Mrs Miggins is off this afternoon with her sister doing a bit of respite for on of her sisters fostering colleagues so I can have some quit time with my current book, “A Confederacy Of Dunces”. Nearly finished so have my next one waiting in the wings, “Small Great Things” by Jodi Picoult. I hope that I can finish it.

@jjraak - thank you for your raw, good words. At a time like this, being there for your nephew and your family is the only thing.

@gennepher - so very frustrating and I cannot begin to know how this impacts upon you. Bread, cake, determinism - good for you.

Virtual hugs available in various sizes for all who need them. Have a wonderful day if you can, we really do only have the time that we are currently experiencing. Bins, think of the bins.

 
yourself and all your family are in my prayers jjraak hope today is a positive one love hugs and best wishes to you all xx
 
woke at 5.30am to a 2.9 couple of jelly babies and back to sleep then woke to 4.9 got up and had breakfast and alls well ,have a good day everyone
 
Like @ianpspurs I would also be most interested @DJC3 as I am considering giving a libre ago. Good to know someone else gets thrown by what day forum posts are in, although usually other than when I am expecting deliveries I really don't care what day of the week we are in. Days seem to go so much faster I'm convinced time's been decimalised.

I hope he heard the words of love they all gave him,
I hope deep within, he's on his way back to the surface.
I hope tomorrow the news is better..

I also really hope so and that the news is better tomorrow.
 
Brilliant that you binned it all. Definitely a winner.
 

Talking of deliveries, this is what was left of today’s delivery after Dennis reached the post before me! (A gift from a pal, another Libre user, of some protective film to cover it up if I go swimming. Luckily only 1 was shredded beyond use).
 
7.3 this morning. Last night I was planning to get out this morning to walk to the post office to return a package and try out my new coat in the cold. ... Now that it is this morning and 4 degrees outside and a warm KittenCat in my lap, I am rethinking that plan ...

 
Another cute ginger It seems the weather today both sides of the pond isnt very inviting. I have been really silly having ventured out to the shops came back without tuna for the girls. Am stocking the fridge for Mr PM and the girls while I am away Thurs to Sunday. Oh well another trip tomorrow then. Hope you and the KC have a cosy day.
