Blimey!
Hopefully calming down after lunch and we may get sunshine. We’re planning on donning the wellies and going down to see how high the River Petteril is. Don’t think we’ll be playing Pooh sticks, I would imagine the bridge is submerged. Put some rocks in your pockets before your gardening course. 😛Morning All - 7.4 this morning (actually 6.6 on waking but once I'd got out of bed and done a finger prick that was my score) - I'm still finger pricking morning and night as I like to compare it to the sensor. It's going to be a windy one on my gardening course today though I suspect we'll spend quite a bit of it in the classroom. I've just fed the red squirrels and am currently watching three of them busily emptying the boxes and going off and burying the nuts - actually one is holding it's own against the wind and perching on the box to eat. @ColinUK I don't think anyone would blame you for turning to food last night - so pleased your Dad is up and about, slowly, slowly wins the race. Last night marked me being 4 years alcohol free - I celebrated last night by spilling alcohol free beer all over me and the sofa while I was watching Saltburn! Have a great day everyone xxx
@rayray119 - have the prescribed a spacer to use with the inhaler, I have had asthma since a child and after watching my then 3 year old granddaughter using her inhaler with a spacer, I requested one, (they can also be bought OTC) it has been a game changer for me as I used to feel that i wasn’t getting it down into my lungs but stuck on my tongue and throat. Only downside is a bit cumbersome to carry around.8.3 today. Sometimes when I used the inhaler I mettioned the other day. I think it may briefly help it's hard to tel for sure as I haven't really got the hang of using it it's tricker then it looks. The Frist time I used it it actually felt like it was stuck in my throat. I'm supposed to take my peak flow twice a day the vejdos I watch said to repeat 3 times and record the best but red i did yesterday evening the 3rd wd quite a bit lower then the other 2(i did end taking it again letercin tje evening but i didnt record that one. I'm only actually suppose to do it twice a day). Both using the inhaler and peak flow meter can really set of costchonitus.
