OMG!
Being an old fart I shouldn't, say that....!
Whatever!
Went with Mrs L to town and Specsavers and wow!
Did not know, I was so deaf, it's like I can actually hear things again, wow!
My ears are so itchy!
Mrs L picked up some nice confectionery and more clothing. Nearly bought a huge gammon for Boxing day. I managed to remind her again it was not chrimbo yet!

Unfortunately, while I was doing the five s's, or morning eblutions. Mrs L has destroyed my/our shed, looking for something, that doesn't exist for her rollator, a basket.

Gonna undo what Mrs L has done.

And another wow for the ribs, I have just devoured from the roast place near Specsavers.

Best wishes, wow you lot.
Ears still itchy.

I had a message from the surgery this evening by a no reply text

"Dear Ms ******

Please contact the surgery on 01244 ***** there is a message to relay to you in your Journal
kind regards reception team
********** Surgery"

It makes no difference how many times over the years I tell them I'm deaf and I cannot hear on the telephone. I have written it down for them. I have even discussed it with the practice manager. So I am unable to text them back and also there is no email available for the patient anymore. There used to be about seven or eight years ago and then it was just withdrawn... and I have no idea what my Journal is... what on earth is a Journal at a Doctors surgery...

I have a couple of appointments I have to see to this week and so I won't be going in to see the Surgery's reception staff until next Monday.

I actually made it very clear to the last nurse I saw not to send me Noreply texts and that I need a text I can reply to, and also not to ask or expect me to use the telephone... and I reminded her that I have an email address and can she access it from my files?

On that note, I am now going to sleep... I have been on my chi machine again, and Midnight immediately jumped on my legs and is lying there with his back legs waving in the air, in time with the machine waving my legs to and fro... he is utterly relaxed and chilled out.

10.9 still at 04.25 today. Very sore. Patches still no use at all. Painkillers and tea as well as basal insulin. Eventually dozed in the chair and BG was 11.4 when I woke properly again at 07.40.

I guess this not taking Metformin isn't working so have taken some with the rest of my morning pills. Might take a day or so before it has an effect, but we shall see.

Neil and I unloaded the dishwasher yesterday evening only to find that dishes were not very clean so I put them back on this morning to rinse again. Most of the dishes were clean after that, but some glasses were still not very good, so Neil decided to check the filter and - no wonder dishes weren't being cleaned properly - found a bit of an earring, which I vaguely remember from somewhere, though it wasn't mine, and lots of detritus. Next load is on and, with luck, it will be clean this time.

A day in the garden mostly after chores, mowed, pruned, cleared, trimmed and admired my bushes in the front and back garden. And my spring bulbs. Wow!

Not much else today.
Mrs L is having a restful day.
Things to do.
Best wishes.
