Sounds like a win, IF the policy helps them to close as many as possible of the hundreds of thousands
of 'Coffee shops' that infect every S-I-N-G-L-E Blooming* high street, ( or so it seems....:***: )

Sat firmly on my bum/bowled neck and crop by a more talented opponent and told my bg levels and food choices are irrelevant First World problems. I need plenty of this kinda scourging.

All sounds very promising and hope it all goes well for you. I think that I moved over nine times whilst in the military and three times since then. Our current home is the longest that we have ever been in one place, 14 years. Never got any easier but taking a long run at it reduces stress at both ends. One idea to think of, if you start now you can begin a) taking an inventory, separating things to take with you, things to part with, listing things you may need to obtain once that you are there and b) packing a little at a time. Boxes not too big, labelled and contents noted for when you get to your new place. Don’t seal boxes until the day before you move (always something needed at the last possible moment and always in the bottom of a box).

Thank you. That is good advice! :)

A good urban myth @jjraak
I remember watching tv series, Beauty and the Beast, in the 1990's was it? Where there was this underground place they all lived. There were no subtitles then, so I didn't know what was being said, but I could still enjoy the fantasy of it all...escapism is needed...

I think they lived in some old, disused subway tunnels.

@Krystyna23040 and @jjraak agree about the value of vit c. It helped me hugely to heal a very broken wrist full of plates and screws in the past. At the time I took high dose slow release pill but in recent years any form of vit c swallowed gives me bad tummy ache even with food. I have not been able to find a sublingual version. Any ideas welcome!

Lipisomal vitamin C is kind to the tummy although horrendously expensive. That's what my client used. They avoided Dr Mercolas lipisomal because it is not true lipisomal vit C.

ahh they are adorable, love the way they wrap around each other... as far as I know you only get that if from the same litter. They look like they were just about to drop off to sleep. Have a good day glad you are back to normal.

My meter handed me a 7.8 this morning, which I immediately handed back.
Its next offer was a 7.3, which I accepted, since I wanted to get on with my morning (coffee, feed the KittenCat again, sort more items for donation).
Now sitting on the sofa sipping cooling coffee while the KittenCat slumbers in my lap, apparently a suitable substitute for her sofa blanket, which I washed last night preparatory to putting it away 'til time to pack it.
We were all given fleecy throws for Christmas, and she immediately claimed ours as hers, so it will serve her until we move, as long as I can remember to move it from the window sill (its warm-day place) to the sofa (for colder mornings such as this). We were at nearly 21 degrees yesterday, with rain and fog; this morning we are down to 7, with a wind advisory and SUNSHINE!!!!!

Think that is totally the wrong way round. Thank you for sharing them and not keeping your gift to yourself. I'm not sure that if I had any gifts I would be so generous. Probably fortunate I don't have gifts so I'm not tested.

Some artists @ianpspurs , in fact all that I know, and have known, don't agree with me sharing my work for free. Also they disagree with me explaining how I create a painting. They think that should be private, an artists secret. I've had some very heated arguments on that subject.

I do feel vulnerable in myself, every time, when I post a painting...is it good enough, I don't like it, it is rubbish, and that I might be giving too much away about myself within the painting, and so on.

Thank you for your words.
