Morning all. Up a bit later than usual and it’s a Len Goodman. Seven! I was only a 6.4 at 6.20 when I got up ( for the third time) for the loo, should have stayed up but was very weary after yet another restless night. Still weary but hunger got the better of me, so here I am.
British Gas turned up, early! Two chaps, one was overseeing a recently qualified meter putter inner, not sure that’s the official title. I had just started to make my veg curry for the tea as I knew the gas would be knocked off, when they arrived at 9.45. So I did what we all do when workman are in the house, twiddled my thumbs, wandered about, read my book, went on FB, plumped the cushions, generally nothing worth while. Was glad when they left two hours later. Now the “proud” owner of a smart gas meter to go with the smart electric meter that was installed in June! Hours of fun watching the price go up before my very eyes! To add insult to injury we were handed a leaflet full of advice to reduce our consumption. Not sure we can do anymore than we’re doing now, just like everyone else at the moment. Anyhoo, the veg curry was good, apart from a tin of tomatoes and chickpeas everything else was from the garden. We’ve gone all Tom and Barbara, I’ve dusted off my 70s kaftan and am channeling Margot today, ie floating around doing nowt! Younger forum members Google “The Good Life” if you haven’t a clue what I’m talking about.
Talking of food who watched Celebrity Masterchef last night? Chris Eubank, come back all is forgiven! They were absolutely rubbish. Makes good telly though.
Have a good day all. We are mild and wet today. 🙂
The cooking was awful compared to the last 2 weeks. Goodness knows how they can choose 2 semi finalists from this bunch. Hopefully they'll all up their game for the next 2 episodes.Talking of food who watched Celebrity Masterchef last night? Chris Eubank, come back all is forgiven! They were absolutely rubbish.

It really is annoying when it takes longer to do everything because of an injury, I hope you are making progress.7.8 this morning which I’m putting down to the zopiclone last night.
My morning numbers have been creeping higher recently and I’m staying higher than normal through the day as well.
Possibly stress related or physical stress related to my leg/ankle stuff.
And it’s good to have a run of slightly elevated figures in the weeks before the next HbA1C blood letting of course.
I’m sure lack of exercise isn’t helping as I’m not back at the gym or even able to walk to/from the office yet. Got the tube to the office yesterday and took me 30 mins to walk from there whereas it is really a pleasant ten minute stroll usually.
That said I’ve provisionally booked an over 55’s yoga class on Friday. It’s at the gym and I’ve done this one before. It’s very very gentle but it can’t hurt to get some kind of yoga back in my healing regimen.
If it’s likely too much I can cancel on Friday morning after therapy.
Ooh the balance vertigo thing does seem like it’s that BBVVIP thing to me as it’s clearly about changing positions/levels.
Thankfully it’s only happened a few times and it cleared up after a couple of days. I’ll mention it to the gp if it returns but it seems there’s nothing really they can do. I might invest in a wobble board as it’s recommended that ten minutes twice a week on that really helps.
