Thank you Saskia.

@gennepher - your awakening is the stuff of nightmares for me. ( however it’s obviously good for your fbg!) The thought of opening my eyes and seeing a spider directly above me actually prevents me shutting my eyes at times. I think you did remarkably well using the crutch to bung it out of the window - will you be able to walk ok to retrieve it?
I was told there was about an 18-!month waiting list for an apartment in the little town, so I thought OK, a year and a half to downsize and save up for the move.
Today I got a call -- guess what, we have a vacancy now! Think about it tonight and call me in the morning to let me know whether you want it.
Yes I do. But NOW? My moving savings are about a year and a half short of funds. Wish I could just load up the KittenCat, my guitar, my toothbrush, and call Uber.
Lots of disturbed sleep seems to be the theme today. Disastrous 6.2 when i carried out my annual birthday check. Probably linked in with several joints being wholly sub optimal and weekly weighin marginally up (still bmi of 22.2). Filling up with protein lasted 2 days and is the obvious candidate. Given the choice between hungry and tired or immobile the former wins. May try again later in the year but today is naproxen and tea day - also sure I must return to the avoidance of coffee . 2 viewers today so need to be mobile enough to help Julie dress the set. As a balance to that I know I am blessed to have only these issues and to have had 64 years - many don't. I have plenty of forebears whose lives were cut short fighting for their country or by illnesses - in a few cases the very illness they specialised in treating. My food choice problems would seem like a choice of banquets for much of the world. I also had the priceless gift of being born into a hugely loving extended family and marrying someone who is a perfect foil for my foibles File under 1st world problems and sense of perspective,

I am sorry you are not feeling 100% for your birthday I trust that the pain will soon go.
I know Diabetes is serious and we need to be careful but you are so right with your comments.
I see that you are looking for a house move, with your balanced sensible view on life, how do you fancy No 10???

Just a question to anyone on here...what would you take from your house/flat/where you live if you had to move quickly, and had to make a decision what to leave behind? What would you load your car or taxi with?
Thanks for the offer of naproxen but we have plenty and plenty of tea to swill them down with. Great fbg today sir and take care in the dark and dangerous north beyond the edge of the known worldReportedly, the EU are going to ban the use of words like “burgers” and “Sausages” for vegan food products and replace them with the more descriptive terms “discs” and “tubes”. I expect that a good number of vegans will be quite pleased about this as it just might discourage the manufacture of trashy fake vegan food.
I thought that I was watching an ageing boy band last night, “Eaton Mess and the Bus Drivers Boy” but it all ended in a shambolic hubbub of quotes from last years newspapers. Wonder if this rippled through time, a butterfly effect if you like, disturbing some peoples sleep.
Anyhow, the wonder wheel of instant gratification and scaremongering delivered a 4.1 this morning. Could this be because I left my phone in the bathroom last night and the wake to reading time was very narrow.
Birthday week wishes to @ianpspurs and all the best with dressing the house. If you run out of naproxen, I have a few in my stash.
I am awake in the middle of the night, 1 am, because I cannot sleep. It is the night of a thousand years. I am sleeping no more than 30 to 40 minutes in one go. And each time I go to sleep for 30 or 40 minutes, when I wake up I think I have slept the night through.
And then I look at the clock.
It’s not like I am tossing and turning. I’m not. I don’t feel ill. I am not stressed over anything. Apart from when I opened my eyes just now and pulled the light cord, I see what looks like a harvester spider directly above my head and she has built this amazing spider web cradle....NOOOOOO
I managed to wrap it in its own web with my crutch, opened window, but it was crawling back up my crutch...so I sent my crutch flying into the garden and shut window. Maybe I woke the neighbours, but I couldn’t hear it anyway...
So took my blood glucose reading out of interest 7.8. I have never been as low as 7.8 in the middle of the night, it’s usually just into double figures.
Made a cuppa and peeked in here. Cuppa finished, checked ceiling and no spiders...
Am pulling the covers over my head just in case...
I hope you are all having an amazing night’s sleep...see if I can join you...

such a shame that she didn't acknowledge there was a serious problem. We have all done it - it is so easy to 'bury our heads in the sand ' but usually it doesn't result in such disastrous consequences.She didn’t mention it. Even when she had her feet literally falling apart she still walked the dog. She didn’t want to acknowledge that there was a serious problem. Up to the op she was playing golf. We think a contributing cause might have been the heeled narrow shoes she wore her whole working life.
