Morning all. 6.3 and an almost flatfish on the ‘ol Libre graph. Still hot, still sticky, still hardly slept! Had about five minutes of rain last night, no thunder even though it was promised. Back home today to a cooler bedroom!

Just caught up with yesterday’s posts as I had a busy day yesterday. Nice hotel cooked breakfast, walking clothes on ( summer version, no woolly hats, thermal gloves or waterproofs required). Started off nice and fresh…ish. Then got hotter and hotter. Ended up traversing a stream, fighting our way through woods, and climbing over “ seen much better days” stiles. A footpath not used much I suspect! Got back to the hotel 3.5 hours later very sweaty and exhausted. I found I had a PM from our very own
@rebrascora asking if we could meet, we’re very close to her abode. Plans made, showers had and we met in the lovely medieval village of Blanchland. Cafe closed so of course we went to the pub! Diet Cokes for the diabetics, a half of pale ale for Mr Eggy, sat in the lovely garden and chatted for England. It felt like we’d known each other for ever. Then Barbara spotted the staff bringing scones over to the table next to us. Well, we had to didn’t we? Of course numpty chops ( me) didn’t have any insulin or Creon with her. Mostly because I’d had a horrible hypo not long before we left the hotel to meet up, as usual I felt sick and had a terrible headache after treating it and vowed to never eat ever again. As I do. But I had recovered sufficiently and the ever organised Barbara had a spare needle and so I duly stole some of her bolus! The scones were absolutely delicious. We parted company at 6 o’clock with promises to meet again soon. Had a great afternoon. As Barabara remarked later on when she texted me, forget Blood Brothers we are now Insulin Sisters!
Thanks Barbara for a lovely mini meet up.
Going for breakfast soon, not sure if we’re going straight home or stopping off somewhere, the forecast is 14/15 degrees with heavy rain, woo hoo! Might have a walk in it if it happens.
🙂
Have a good day all.
@Lanny good to see you back. Hope things improve for you.
@ColinUK good luck for your appointment today and hope it helps somewhat.
@Pattidevans you’re correct the river South Tyne was very low, it’s very dry everywhere around here, ground solid and cracked like a dessert.
@Robin I can wee at the drop of a hat!
