Well done for making the decision!Morning all. New sensor says 7.2, finger prick 6.8 so much better than the last one. Older daughter is coming round today to pick up a parcel she had delivered to us for her husband's birthday. Other than that, just some cleaning and vaccuuming to do and a ham joint to cook. If the weather stays dry, i might mow the lawn.
I forgot to tell you lovely lot, i handed my notice in a few days ago. I just can't do it any more. Hubby said we'll be ok but i'm going to leave it until after Christmas then if i'm getting bored or missing working, i'll get a part time job with just a few hours. Somewhere i can go, do the job and come home without any stress.
Congrats to @goodybags and @42istheanswer on the HS.
@eggyg fantastic photos! Enjoy your last day.
Have a good day everyone.
Morning and a 7.7 for myself but again a nice line and lovely sleep.Didn't get around to posting yesterday as very busy day trying to finish up work before I'm off now for wedding and honeymoon, but it was a second 5.2 in a row. Sadly not a HS today for a triplet, it was 5.5. Finished all my craft bits for the wedding yesterday except I still need to stick the table plan bits on the board (couldn't find my sticky tabs yesterday, may have to pop to pick up some more today if I don't locate them).
That’s great news. You will manage and a nice little stress free part time job will top up the coffers if needed. It’s pointless working if it’s making you ill. If it’s any consolation when I retired at 57 I was 9 years away from my state pension. Now it’s only 18 months away! They say time flies when you are enjoying yourself.Morning all.

We went about 20 years ago and I agree, a very unusual place but we really liked it in a weird way. Hence the return visit. Hope it’s as good as we remember, at least we’ve the afternoon tea to fall back on. Admission was free with it.I went to Portmerion once - such an unusual place.
Yours have dolphins in them as well but they’re hiding.Bora dah.5.1 on our last full day in Welsh Wales. It’s been great for my BGs. Also could be I’m always more relaxed on holiday, no worrying about kids, well I do but I can’t do anything about it when I’m away, no feeding/ babysitting the hordes etc. back to it tomorrow. All good things must come to an end.
Yesterday was a great day. Up and at it early doors to catch the dolphins. An hour before high tide is the best time to see them if they’re around. It’s a short window, September to November and then they go elsewhere. Parked in the village and walked to the headland, already lots of folk there. Walked towards the cliffs and Mr Eggy shouted, they’re there! And so they were! We got talking to a local couple who we were very lucky for first timers, sometimes they are there all day and never see any. What a sight. The Risso’s are as big as an orca about 10-12 foot long. They live up to 30 years and they don’t look anything like Flipper! But strangely cute. Mr Eggy managed to get some decent shots, even though they were quite a way out. We stayed about two hours in all on the headland, beautiful day but like @PattiEvans a very cold wind. We walked back to the village and had our picnic on some rocks overlooking a calmer bit of sea. It was stunning. What a great day we had.
Today we’re off to Portmerian for a look around and have booked afternoon tea in the hotel. Best be good, it wasn’t cheap, I’ll be expecting doggy bags!

I’d not advise eating the afternoon tea if you’ve fallen on itWe went about 20 years ago and I agree, a very unusual place but we really liked it in a weird way. Hence the return visit. Hope it’s as good as we remember, at least we’ve the afternoon tea to fall back on. Admission was free with it.
