@Debandez you are very kind to help your brother-in-law and I'm glad he's doing better. I know what you mean about red tape - unless you've experienced it, most people don't know how bureaucracy unnecessarily complicates the lives of people with disabilities. (My late son was severely disabled and that made it so much harder than necessary). Tomorrow I have another meeting in a series about my best friend's son - she has 2 adult sons with autism, both also intellectually disabled. The son who is very severely disabled and nonverbal (like my late son) lives in a group home but her more moderately disabled son still lives at home and attends day programs (unable to work) . These meetings are planning with the government so he can get a good residential placement when they can no longer care for him (she has many health issues and is older).

So very sorry to hear about your son. You too have your hands full at the moment. You are the best person to help your friend. What a support system she has in you. I hope you get everything sorted.
 
Morning All. 6.9 at 0800. No idea why had an exemplary day, small supper not too late and no afters of choc or anything.
Happy Valentines Day to everyone, stay well, stsy safe.
Is there a National Jumpers Day, if not why not? Btw @Saskia turtle/polo necks dont suit me I think I have a short neck but they make my head look compressed on my shoulders lol. I have 3 only mock turtles (turtles here) for very very cold weather. Oh and for anyone interested I have a lot of stripy crew (round) necks. Sorry if you’ve all drifted off to sleep again!!
 
5.3 today

All this talk of jumpers has me looking at my wardrobe, ive got a big bottom lip!!! . I never thought of it as lacking before but now I'm yearning for a jumper. Any jumper. I'm not fussy....at this point!!!

Anyway it's my favourite day of the week. Grandaughter day with hubby. Breaky in our favourite cafe then a play area (hubby does love a play area!!!).

A little bit of PR yesterday. 30 minute slot on my local radio. Fylde coast radio. I think I covered most things. Especially how amazing the DCUK forum is!!!

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen........more later in the posting grrrr
Again a 5.4 on the meter, I was expecting a higher number.

What on earth is going on in this thread, first pets now jumpers, I did warn you all I would post pictures of my big toe.
Did I tell you about my collection of ties, I must get round to photographing them and posting the pictures, Mrs J approves of some and not others especially the sheep one.
Anyway have a good one folks and behave, somebody has to, guess who will not be. Did you all get your bins out for collection?

Struggled to open eyes this morning had a wonderful glorious catch up sleep in my own bed! My body clearly thought it should keep me asleep for as long as possible as woke up to alarm - usually naturally wake up before - and got woken up to a fbg of 4.0
Happy Valentine’s Day all OH and I have some planning to do so we’ve decided - given forecast of sun later - to go on valentines hike later it’s a wonderful way to talk and think things through on a long hike together. Coffee and cream in a flask will be packed.
@DJC3 pleased your readings dropped a bit despite code free being higher.

It was wonderful just now walking to the grocery store and back. Out in the sunshine it was almost warm, and no wind blowing! I think it's about 13 degrees out there right now.

Talking of jumpers and sweaters, will someone please tell me what jerseys and guernseys are (the garments not the islands)? Here in the US "jersey" used to be used for what we now usually call sweatshirts so that is what I've pictured when reading English novels. But guernseys?

And what is a polo-neck, please? This is a polo shirt

Good morning folks. A straight 6 at 0600.
Brilliant night last night at the London Paladium and managed 9 miles wandering about - was it the Bollinger?
Today we are walking down to St Paul’s, over the footbridge to The Globe and down to Borough Market for breakfast.
Back over London Bridge and a visit to The Tower.
Not sure after that.
Have a great day if you can - what’s all this valentine stuff?

ouch ouch ouch, been to the doc to grumble about my back. Apparently I have trapped a nerve - bad. Doc has given me a couple of days worth of valium to unknot my muscles and hopefully release said nerve - good :)

Blood sugar 9.1 this morning. Bit odd but I suppose it is the pain doing that.

Off to take the pills and see what happens. Hopefully I won't be too zonked.

Hope everyone is having a good day.
