@SaskiaKC how did it go?

Thank you for asking, and thank you for posting that lovely, atmospheric painting.
Today went very well. I had a wonderful time with two dear friends I seldom get to see, and we all loved the apartment community. A lovely place in a lovely setting, wooded countryside all around, and inside all warm colors and warm, friendly people, including a very nice woman from Glasgow!
I looked out her living room window and could see woods right at the edge of the wide lawn behind the building, and even the front of the building looks onto woods, except for the small parking lot.
My friends both told me they are happy about my planned move and think I will be happy there, which meant a lot to me.
And it did not rain one single drop, in all the 200 miles of highway and 7 hours there and back!
 
I should be asleep, but I am watching some videos...I have just come across them...

Here is one. I don't know if it is of any interest...

He had the sweetest face.
The day was so much fun. My two friends and I all love the apartment community. I met some very nice people there, and the setting is lovely, as is the building itself. The road down the hill from the building into the town has a nice sidewalk, and at least 2 benches where I imagine many of the residents stop for a breather on the way back up the hill from town!
We also saw a sign for a local mattress store.
 

I'm glad you are here. This is a wonderful community.
 
It sounds absolutely amazing @SaskiaKC
I am very pleased for you.
Good night from me and Popeye x

@SaskiaKC I missed your earlier post about your trip today, I hope it was successful, I look forward to reading about it.

Thank you. I had a wonderful time. Not only do I love the apartment community, I also loved being out on the road again, traveling. I have missed that; I didn't realize how much until we were heading up the highway. It did not rain one single drop all day; there was just some light fog, but not on the highway, and the traffic was fairly light.
While I was meeting with the apartment manager my friends drove around the little town and reported that they liked it a lot. I wish we had had time for me to explore it with them, but with the winter days still fairly short, and none of us being youngsters anymore, I was just happy that we were able to drive there and back all in one day. I am now exhausted (and achy) but that is easily cured with a couple of acetaminophen pills and, now, a warm cat in my lap (it has only taken her 2 hours to accept that I am home and to forgive me and welcome me back).

Thanks Saskia and I will be thinking of you later on your way to view pastures new. I will be thinking of the KC eating her tuna sandwiches and watching a movie. Maybe she could chat with Charlie and Lola on Twitter. Have safe journeys.

Thank you. "Pastures new" is a very apt description -- there actually are pastures all around the little town. When I saw my first one this morning (about 1 hour outside the town), complete with cattle, I felt like I had come home again. I have not seen any cattle in a field since 2014.
The KittenCat says to tell you that she thought of Bobs and Daisy while eating her tuna sandwiches, and thank goodness I did not come home to a garbage can piled high with bones and empty milk bottles, as I used to back when she and my old MasCat would throw parties while house-sitting for me.
When I got into my friends' van this morning and learned that I would be sharing the back with their cat-sized dog, for a moment I wanted to come back inside and put the KittenCat in her carrier and bring her, but of course she would not have enjoyed the day at all, and, unlike the dog, she would not have been able to get out for walks. She is a good traveler, but more of a homebody than an adventurer.
 
No I haven't to be honest. Thought about creating one though and repeating my questions think I will do as you suggest. I will be like Katie Hopkins at this rate!
 
I only wish I could paste this whole post to Twitter! Many people commenting, supportive, so many new followers every day. Just proves how powerful social media is. Definitely our way to get diabetics to be given the option of low carb (type 1 and 2 as I believe beneficial for both). I live in hope. Thanks for the vote of confidence. It means so much. I am the voice of many.
 

I hope I dont have to cross that bridge. My surgeries are being so supportive. I have been asked to join a health and wellbeing session 10th June. I have my own stall as it were. Pts from all 5 surgeries I work with invited. And my monthly pt to pt sessions continue. I'm dropping off my leaflets later today and offering more hours of my time in the other surgeries. It's such a positive feeling. The feedback is great. Last session the pt came in and said the DN had suggested they come to be because I'm very 'special'. I was taken aback. To have the DN saying that gave me hope. Hope that things may eventually change and the alternative to 'here take these meds and bye the way its progressive'.
 

You and @Muddy Cyclist never cease to amaze me with your talents
 
So happy you have joined us. The more the merrier in our little chatty room.
 
If you could do us a YouTube tutorial that would be great 'how to create a masterpiece in 15 minutes or less'
