I’m just watching the Real Marigold on Tour Vince and the celebs are in Chengdu. Fascinating and the food looks amazing. I think I’ll retire to China eventually! Lol

Chengdu a very interesting place Amigo and the capital of Sichuan Province, been a couple of times and the food is WONDERFUL. I adore Sichuan cuisine.
Actually it is very popular all over China.
China is a very interesting place to visit. Like everywhere living here permanently has its problems. I lived here full-time 2010-2013.
The difference between most Western cultures and China's is that they are 180 Degrees opposite and there is rarely Black and White, only Grey areas. That takes some getting used to. The "real" Chinese people, the ones who live and work in the countryside the "nongmin" are terrific people. Cities like Shanghai can at times be a nightmare but then again so can London, Rio or Jakarta which spend most of its time gridlocked.
My favourite city in Asia is Kuala Lumpur and a good place to retire to is Penang, Malaysia.
I enjoy my times here, usually 9 months each year I have business interests here that I must look after, but I enjoy going back to the UK immensely

I doubt I’d get there now Vince because of my condition (I’d never get travel insurance) but I’ve been to Hong Kong and Taiwan on business with my husband which isn’t like mainland China but you get the flavour. I hated the influx of westernised chains moving in when we were there and destroying traditional food but some street food is minging of course!

Have a good day! 🙂

Good Morning everyone.. cold here but haven’t looked out window. 9.1 for me, but had 2 squares of ginger dark choc for supper.topping up caffeine and taking my time this morning. Going to gp to get blood pressure checked on recommendation of optometrist, as blood vessels in back of eyes look “tortured” lol. They looked wonky when I was in my late teens, so what chance have they now???
Have a good day all, keep warm, keep well and bu&&#r the Xmas spirit( hate to confess, I thought about putting my tree up last night, but gave myself a quick kick up the bum) my son described my tree as “a vomit of sentimentality”

Out of interest khskel, how many cats have you got?
 
Morning all, a miserable 9.8 for me today. Hope your appointment goes well today @Flower XX
 
Morning guys 🙂 another uncomfortable night for me, chest feels ten times worse when I'm lying down :(
@Bloden mines is currently down to 2 units!
Right my fellow insulin users, quick question, last 2 days, 2 hours post lunch has been 1.5mmol lower than my pre meal reading, would you guys try slightly more carb at lunch? Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated 🙂
Anyways 5.4 for me today and off out soon so will be back later to catch up
Have a nice day my lovelies! :D xx

Good morning, 4.6 today.

Off on the early bus for orthopaedic appointment about leg, I should have packed a sleeping bag and stayed at the hospital if only I'd planned ahead!😉

Your Tresiba needs a good talking to Bloden !

I hope your appointment has a positive outcome for you, @Flower {{{HUGS}}}

What are your levels like before your evening meal? Have they gone back up again or stayed lower than pre lunch?
