Morning everyone. A happy 5.0 for me today.

Have a good day everyone and stay well.
 
Morning all and 6.3 for me but only thanks to a correction @05:00. Evening meal decided not to relinquish its carbs until the early hours.

Another grand day. A bit more in the garden this morning and a stroll.to hospital to see the haematologist this aft.

Have a good day everyone.

The Marina Bay Sands Hotel in Singapore. The very first hotel featured on the BBC series Amazing Hotels: Life Beyond The Lobby. With a floating observation boat deck at the top & a huge infinity swimming pool! Also, featured on the BBC’s first Race Across The World as the last stop in the race from Greenwich London to Singapore! It’s a dream hotel of a type I’ll never be able to afford to stay at! 😱😛😎 Only get to see it TV!o_O<3:D

Gardens by the Bay is great as well! We went about 3 times (once at night for the light show in the Super Tree grove). Also you must go to Raffle’s Long Bar for a Singapore Sling🙂
 
For anyone who likes Race Across the World

The new series starts 23rd April at The Great Wall of China, travelling through China, Nepal and India. What an experience!

Is it possible you could do something else, work less hours or even retire early? I don't know your circumstances but work stress is not worth the way it makes you feel. I found work increasingly difficult late last year, after having a few years before that of increased workloads/expectations and the best (and hardest) thing i did was walk away. Look after yourself first because you matter. Take care. Big hugs.
 
Afternoon folks.Well sun's back out today.Cracking day even got one of these this morning.The woodland floor is covered in wild garlic .Dogs stinking with it

4.7 for me this morning and no red overnight and a pretty straight line, so very happy with that. Afraid I haven't had time to catch up on anyone else's posts this morning so hope all OK. Sun is shining and lots to do.
 
Good morning folks. 7.4 today. Very overcast and a bit chilly first thing. Decided to have a bit of retail therapy and went to the garden centre in Horncastle. Bought a selection of garden stuff including 2 Stevia plants which were in the same tray as various herbs. We were very naughty and pinched off a leaf to taste it. WOW started off slightly minty then a full on sweet slightly tropical fruit vibe as the saliva started work on it.
Bought 2 plants and will try a few finely chopped leaves with stewed rhubarb. I will let you know how it turns out
Back home and the sun is shining 😎

Hope your parent's move goes smoothly @Eternal422 . It will be a big adjustment for everyone.
Hope those of you who have been on holiday had a great time and those of you going on holiday soon enjoy yourselves.

Sending hugs to those of you struggling with any MH issues and anyone recovering from illness or injury.

I count my blessings that life is relatively quiet and peaceful in my little corner of the world.
Take care <3

Ah! Is that where the sweetener Stevia comes from? So, it’s a natural sweetener then, & not artificial? I’ve heard of Stevia but, just lumped it in altogether with artificial sweeteners which I avoid! :confused: & A Lightbulb emoji! 🙂
 
I didn't know stevia was a plant either - but having said that - to get the 'sweetener' from any plant including sugar cane or sugar beet - it's always got to be ultra processed, however you regard it. Hence not in the slightest what you could possibly regard as 'good for you' generally.

Yes I wouldn't touch the ultra processed sweetener extracted. I knew the plant grew in Brazil but didn't expect to see it in the local garden centre. The leaves are sweeter than sugar but not as concentrated as the extracts. Going to try them chopped up and added to food. You can add them to tea but I like my tea unsweetened.

The plant is natural but not the ultra processing to extract the sweetener. Trying the leaves as a natural sweetener.
 
Good evening. It's been a lovely sunny day, but we still haven't got rid of that horrible biting cold wind.

7.4 first thing, after a not very good night's sleep again. Had to have a 2 hour nap this afternoon.

Had a pedicure this morning in town and then did a bit of shopping. I called into Boots to pick up the Libre 3s which were prescribed 2 weeks ago. Boots still did not have them and told me that they are on a long-term shortage. I hope they are not as I am supposed to transfer to the Ypsopump on 1 May and only have 1 Libre 3.

Congrats to @Grannylorraine on your Hba1c.

@ColinUK glad you had a great holiday.

@Eternal422 fingers crossed your parents love the home!

Have a good evening all
 
Re: Singapore - we used to visit frequently when we were airline crew (up to 1988) and I loved the place. Lots of bargains in the clothes shops and fabulous food on the street stalls. We then didn't visit until 2009 on our way to Australia.... OMG it was so sterile. Nothing but designer clothes we hadn't a hope in hell of affording and no lovely street food!

I too love Race across the world!
