Smashing Popeye sunrise. Early breakfast, very maridadi
Brilliant...I might do some white water rafting in this landscape @dunelmGood morning everyone from a still and dark start here in the dark and dangerous north
Carpet fitters arrived on time so another job ticked off the list. French doors now fitted to dining room, the will be back this morning to finish. Kitchen bloke due at 8am to go through final plan - not a big plan as it’s only big if you live on a barge, or a Bedu tent. Girl in the bubble yesterday as well - always fun. We did some “painting” but had to be quiet as her dolly was trying to sleep. Early dinner catch up with eldest grandchildren later so looking forward to that.
Mainly mountains today with an attempt at a river, oh well. Have a smashing Friday - will you tuck it onto the weekend? Time for some early koffy.

The hugs are for going out in the cold @Krystyna230406.1 this morning. A bit higher than usual but absolutely no idea why.
Dogs are waiting for their early morning dog walk so I must get ready. Not looking forward to going out in the cold.
Hugs @True BlueMorning all.
Postman Pat again today, this time to several blocks of flats that have no lifts. Good for calf muscles and cardio-vascular fitness if repeated, but not as a one-off. Respect to posties everywhere.
FBG 6.8 mmo/lt at 0630.
Have a great day.
That's a blast from the past I used to live in that neck of the woods.Good Morning Everyone
Sorry it’s so late posting we went to Colne outlet centre called Boundary Mills fabulous place to visit.
My BG this morning was 6.6 but it dropped to 5.1 2 hours after breakfast of Greek yogurt and berries cup coffee
Hope you enjoyed your day everyone.K
I have big family connections with Colne - Cambridgeshire though. Not a chance of an outlet or valley there. The Meridian Line runs through my favourite dog walk which also passes the original church and home of my Great Grandparents. Carols around the tree on the village green in front of the church is simply idyllic. In an ideal world that or something very similar is where I will end my days. Quintessentially English unlike the cod version sold by Cakeman.That's a blast from the past I used to live in that neck of the woods.
@gennepher it was really cold but the frost and the mist looked so lovely as we walked around the park. It would have made a lovely painting. I am so pleased to be back home in the warm with a coffee.The hugs are for going out in the cold @Krystyna23040
You bg will be in the 5's when you get back...
Please don't ambush her with cake as that could be seen as a party by the meedja.It is time for me to perform my husbandly duties……Make Mrs J’s early morning, for her tea, me and me’s hope you weren’t thinking of anything else.
Thanks @gennepher, take a flask, it’s a bit nippyBrilliant...I might do some white water rafting in this landscape @dunelm
Time for another coffee here...
We’re we live it used to be similar many moons ago, I walked to school past corn fields we were a village then lots of mothers used to help the farmers in autumn picking potatoes carrots and turnip then has school closed for the day the farmer picked us up on his tractor and we then joined our mothers and helped with the vegetable picking. In May we had a May Queen it’s all gone now all the farms locally have sold there land for building so the village is now a small town, but idillic happy times sadly will never return.KI have big family connections with Colne - Cambridgeshire though.

Hug for that and the pain. Colne, Cambs is still virtually unspoiled. although cereals and protein crops - massive expansion - have replaced fruit growing (mainly plums). We moved almost 2 years ago. I will never settle here having experienced that type of life for some part of 64 years. JKP's 92 yo mum moved here last year - having vowed she would never leave her previous house. We had a bungalow with plenty of land to build an annex, open fields on all sides. Obviously I want her to live as long and as independently as possible but perceptive regulars may have detected I'm a tad homesick. Only 25 miles away but not remotely the same. Thoughts and prayers with you over managing the pain and diet.We’re we live it used to be similar many moons ago, I walked to school past corn fields we were a village then lots of mothers used to help the farmers in autumn picking potatoes carrots and turnip then has school closed for the day the farmer picked us up on his tractor and we then joined our mothers and helped with the vegetable picking.
