Morning all - a beautiful morning it is too!

5.2 this morning - what a surprise! I am happy, who wouldn't be?

Going into town to meet the friends we normally meet on Friday or Saturday later this afternoon. I shall wear the jacket my friend gave me yesterday. I am the recipient of clothes she buys and doesn't wear, but keeps too long to return to the shop. I told her to keep buying clothes she doesn't like as they suit me very well!!!! I will get her something she does like next time we go shopping together.

Julian put the UV film on the front windows yesterday, it's cured the glare of the sun, but the sitting room now seems awfully dark. As does the study. I hate it in the sitting room, but can just about tolerate it in the study.

Hope you all have a lovely day!

(a lot of the sealant was removed by our old cat (!) bless her odd ways, and we'd never got around to replacing it again).

LOL my sister's cat used to do the same - we thought it was unique. But I've just googled it and apparently it's quite common. :D
Congratulations @PattiEvans on that 5.2. :star:

Morning

An oh so near oh so far 5.3 this morning, today’s plans are visiting mum and doing the next part of my crotchet along as the next part of the pattern has been released today. Still pleasant weather dry, some sunshine and reasonable temperatures.

@PattiEvans - congratulations on your HS today.
 
Good morning folks.6.7 this morning and the sun is shining again. Bit of gardening before Tai Chi and raiding the shed where I keep extra tins and jars that won't fit in thr larder cupboard.

Congratulations on your HS @PattiEvans . I also donated a lot of hardly worn clothes to a good friend last year after losing weight and dropping 3 dress sizes. She is the same height as me (short) .

Have a lovely Bank holiday weekend folks. I probably won't post tomorrow.
 
8.7
Having an emotional wheepy day
EDIT WANTED TO AD MORE
I had some bad news last night a dear friend of mine at the age of 89 passed away, she went peacefully in her sleep which i guess is a good way to go. I can't believe it will never see her again, her wonderful smile or get a hug from her again. I'm just glad I called her Wednesday morning and my last words to her were you know I love u like you are my mum Thank goodness I said that

Ah I didn't realise this was so common! My cat Pippa used to peel it away with her claw and then play with it. It was very wiggly so I understand the temptation! A pain though haha. My two new cats haven't figured this form of entertainment out yet, and I'm hoping they won't!
 
morning all 5.2 this morning just waiting for for the pharmacist to deliver hubby next month of tablets then were of out to do the weekends shopping and then back to continue with the kitchen its taking an age to get the backing paper off the doors, wallpaper done and some tiles on plus led lights under the cupboards done

Congratulations on your HS @PattiEvans

I donated some clothes to a friend too, although they were clothes i had to buy when i lost so much weight before being diagnosed. Now my weight has gone back up (and a bit more!) I had no chance of getting into them. She loves clothing so was over the moon that things fitted.

We learnt The Lambton Worm, but none of these words are what I remember.
Never understood why we learnt as I was a Teeside girl.

@Wendal got me quite intrigued, so I have been digging around. It's based in the North East, on a County Durham legend - so you're a bit south, I guess. More here, including the "original lyrics" https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lambton_Worm.
 
Morning, 6.6 for me
Had a text inviting me to book my annual diabetes review so that will be 9th September. I'm looking forward to seeing what my Hba1c is after a year of insulin. Libre is predicting 41 but I expect it will be a bit higher than that. It'll definitely be better than last year's 87, at any rate.

Congratulations on your HS @PattiEvans and @Pam123
Hugs for @gail2

Yep that is the version I remember learning and of course the “ Geordie/Mackem” dialect just added to the fun of singing it.

9.4 first thing, down to 8.0 after 5 cocktail sausages.

Eating early seems to be beneficial, while eating a bedtime snack doesn't raise FBG. At least I don't have to change two eating times

PS did bring our dog back from the Vets yesterday after her dental.
Nine teeth out and a 2nd procedure in a fortnight to take another 3 out but she is doing fine but we have to keep one of our dogs away from her as he is de opted to her and would sniff around and pester her and she would likely react with the unwanted attention.

Some say the Lambton worm wrapped itself around Penshaw hill .But I think it was actually Worm hill down Fatfield on the banks of the river wear .. People are split on it ..Just a legend as nothing could be that big to wrap itself around them hills .

Some of those lyrics seem more familiar.
I seem to remember that some of the trainee teachers we had come form a Durham based Teacher Training School.
