Morning a 6.8 for me and a nice nights sleep.Another flat line in 6s so behaving itself at the moment.
Off to North Wales coast today and a nice lunch out.Taking a customer to his favourite cafe and hopefully it becomes a favourite of mine.
Been a really pleasant week and hope the rest proves as good.

wonder if the cage was heavy or awkward to move about whether that has caused the damage?

Oh they are very heavy and awkward, but they all get trained in how to move them with refreshers every couple of months. It will have definitely aggravated it but her back pain started well before she got that job. I know myself, when your back feels good you sometimes “ forget” and bash ahead, when deep down you know you shouldn’t be doing it. She’ll have to be very careful in the future and adhere to the training advice, because we all know it doesn’t always happen.
 
The root of my back issues was a wedding when I was 22. I helped lift the bride up on a chair over our heads (as you do at Jewish weddings). Chair was unevenly held and I took the lions share of the weight and the bride has never been someone even her mum could describe as “delicate”.

I’ve forgiven her now though.
 
6.6 for me this morning on waking to what looks like a lovely day weather-wise. Rain due to come back tomorrow, but these past few days have been a God-send. I even got to give the front and back lawns the first cut of the year.

Have a great day everyone...
 
Good morning all. 5.8 on yet another frosty but sunny morning.

I was shattered when I got home last night at 6pm. Luckily, because I’m such a super woman, tea just needed popped in the oven, shepherds pie. Girls were great all day, think they liked being in their own domain for a change, getting them ready for a party was another matter. It was like pulling teeth, Eden kept running away, I tried to put 6-12 month tights on 4 year old Zara, they wouldn’t stand still to get their hair done. I was in a lather! Walked the 10 minutes to the soft play where the party was being held for 6 year old Teddy. Of course he’d invited his whole class, or at least it seemed like he had! The noise was just unbelievable, and they were so rough, had to rescue Eden a couple of times as they invaded the baby area more than once, throwing things about and fighting. We were so relieved when daughter arrived, we were out there like a shot! My tinnitus was working overtime.

Today is “ helping with swimming” day. Slightly less traumatic.

Have a fab day.
 
8.3 for me my fault i ate 60gm of walnuts at 5am

Up at a reasonable time today. Off to the post office to pick up some bits and bobs waiting for collection then to National Portrait Gallery for 10am entry to the Munch exhibition.
I’ll follow that with the gym and then I’ve a meeting with my ISVA before a face to face with the police.

Not sure what they want but they called the meeting. I’m trying not to jump to conclusions but given the case file was complete and ready to go to the cps last time we met I’m a little trepidatious about the reason.

Part of me thinks that the case has been rejected by CPS or perhaps they’re going to tell me he’s died. If it’s the former I’ll be angry. If it’s the latter then I’ll feel robbed of justice. It could be that they just wanted a face to face because I’m affable, local, make them laugh and they want to ask me about diabetes or Mounjaro as well I guess. Whatever the reason, I’ll cope. I’ll also let you all know too of course.

Ooh! Kaftan update!! I’d ordered two lots of three in different styles/sizes etc. One delivery has been lost (delivered to the street outside my house but not to my house) so that’s gone. Other one was delivered. One kaftan (the stripy red and white one) is fab but it’s more maroon than red. The gold one that arrived is not the one I ordered. The rainbow one is ok just.

After lots of back and forth the company said that they’d resend the lost delivery order for a fee of $35 whilst they investigate the lost one. I’ve paid that and am getting it sent to my mum and dad’s house. I’ll do a chargeback on the lost delivery. I’ll also look at dyeing the striped one red. It’s 100% polyester so that’s gonna be fun. I’ll need a cheapo aluminium stock pot and it’ll have to be done on the hob as it needs heat apparently. Luckily the replacement order will have two of that striped kaftan in it but of different sizes so at least I can practice.

This is the striped one:

Almost forgot to say what my numbers are this AM!

6.2
 
Morning all, 6.2 here, and just above freezing, at 0.2 degrees. It properly snowed yesterday morning at the Cheltenham Festival just the other side of the Cotswolds.
Talking of which, we have been on the helicopter flight path bringing and taking the famous enough jockeys and rich enough punters. It used to be the odd one or two, but there’s been a whole stream of them, morning and evening, and presumably they’ve had to initiate a designated flight path in and out, which seems to include a scenic aerial view of our village.
 
Morning alk. 5.9 after a restless nights sleep and a spike/correction. I'm out today with a friend. We're off to the Craft Show. Should be good but also tiring. I'm being picked up in about 30 mins so catch up later. Have a good day everyone.
 
A 5.9 for me today. 🙂

Good morning 6.9 here, I slept much better than usual and feel really groggy as a result! Trying to wake up with a coffee, as a fellow member of the bad back club I am off to the osteopath later as my back has been playing up since last week when I dug up a huge bush in the garden.
Hopefully he will fix me up, he has magic hands.

Have a great day everyone
 
5.9 this morning for me too (seems to be the figure to get today!)

Had my annual diabetic screening at the GP yesterday, all good and spent more time chatting with the nurse than anything else! She was asking about retirement as she is considering retiring this year so we had a good old chat about that! Anyway, feet and BP are ok, bloods taken so waiting for those results now with a phone call arranged for next week to discuss the results.

It looks like the guy doing the tiling will not be finished today which means the job won’t get completed until after we’re back from our week on the narrowboat.

This afternoon I’m going over to my parents to sort out Dad’s continual issues with his PC (he is struggling now and forgetting how he did things on it which has resulted in files all over the place). My wife is staying here so I expect I’ll get my ear bent about the carers. Dad unfortunately has taken to guilt tripping us about going away and not being always available to rush over to them if they need help. He says that Mum is saying we shouldn’t always be away and not available and has been moaning about that - the opposite of what she says to us. So I’m not really looking forward to going over.

Take care everyone and have a good day.
 
Morning

4.8 with an awful toothache, paracetamol and Orajel are not helping, thankfully I already had the dentist booked for tomorrow for a filling in the painful tooth, which until yesterday had only had a slight twinge in it. Going to see mum later as her boiler serviceman is coming so I can deal with that for her, she might also have some small bits and pieces she wants me to attend to.

@Eternal422 - congratulations on yesterday’s HS, sorry that your dad gives out to you for going on your narrow boat.
 
A straight 9.0 for me this morning. I wasn't feeling great yesterday, felt wiped out and slept over an hour in the afternoon. BG was OK. Still a little on the high side so I think I might be going down with something.
It's a nice sunny but cold morning. Hubby is collecting his new spectacles in half an hour. I am waiting on a delivery timeslot from DPD for the new hot water tap. It has to be signed for, so the planned shopping trip to Boston may have to be done tomorrow instead.

Hope all goes well at your parents @Eternal422 I remember how difficult is was getting care arranged when my mum's dementia got worse and my dad struggled to help with her personal care.

@ColinUK wishing you luck dyeing the maroon kaftan. I think polyester doesn't take up the colour very well. You may end up with a dark maroon and pink kaftan!

Hope your Thursday is not too cold and wet. Weather is supposed to warm up again next week.
 
Morning all, 6.0 for me but was around 5 most of the night so I'll take that.

It's a lovely sunny day. Shame I'm stuck inside for most of it but I'll try to get out for a stroll on my lunch break, and I'm lucky I have a beautiful view of the school's forest area from my windows to enjoy.

Have a great day everyone.
 
@silver minion I’ve been looking at how to dye various things and there are specific dyes for nylon, polyester etc. They all advise testing a swatch of the fabric first and measuring everything as it’s all weight based. Luckily I’ll have two completely spare kaftans to butcher or dye pink.

One of the ones that arrived is materially different to one that I ordered. So that’s going back.

Ordered:
