Morning all on this grey day.
First of all congratulations to @harbottle and @Robin on the HS.
3.6 this morning and it would appear that I had been at that level since around 1am. I tested bloods and it was 4.1, so not all that far out. Couldn't scan when I tried in the middle of the night because once again my phone battery was flat. I think the battery is on it's way out.
Went to the chiropractor yesterday and he suggested that my sore shoulders are because of Fybromyalgia Rheumatica. It's curable, but the cure isn't very palatable as it's steroid treatment for anything up to 2 years. Back in 1971 my father was on heavy steroids and indirectly they caused his death, so I am wary. Anyway, rang the GP this morning who told me to go in at 12:20 for blood tests. She is going to ring me tomorrow with the results..... can't believe how fast this is moving.
Meantime, thank you Covid. To add to the fun I just realised I have lost my sense of taste and smell. I hadn't really noticed until hubby was complaining about a disgusting smell of drains/seaweed coming from the beach and I couldn't smell a thing, then realised I could barely tell what was in my sandwich today (ham and sliced beef with garlic cream cheese and tomatoes). Ho hum... never mind I have 2 lovely days of socialising in front of me starting this afternoon.
Have a good journey home @eggyg

No spoilers please! I am only on week 2!How fun was GBBO last night?! I’m looking forward to seeing Extra Slice this week as the eliminated one is likely to be excellent entertainment!
