@Michael12421 Nice to see a good middle ground reading from you today. Hope all is well with you.

Thank you very much. My sight isn't any better, just have to hang on until October 2nd. tho' I am not expecting much.

The xenophobic peasants around here have attacked again, tyres punctured for the 8th time. I should buy shares in Goodyear!

Never mind about the hat trick, there is always tomorrow.

Oh Michael, I am so sorry to hear that! How shocking! Are you parking your car somewhere that others feel they have a right to park... even if it is not a legitimate right? For your car to be repeatedly targeted so many times seems personal rather than just because you are not a local. It must be very upsetting as well as expensive. And even more of a problem to get it fixed with your eyesight being poor. Have they done all 4 tyres or just one or two?
Goodness, you are not having an easy time of it at the moment. I hope things improve soon and you get your eyes sorted in the near future if nothing else.

No it is the right way. These villages have extremely narrow roads and I live in one, vehicles can't pass so you have to park in wider streets. There is one family here who have 3 cars, 3 motorcycles and one quad bike and they think that you can't park opposite their house because it stops them from doing so and also think that they 'own' the street. Police are useless, all you get is the ubiquitous shrug of the shoulders if you complain. In future I will park outside of the police station, not that it will do much good as hey only 'work' from 8.30 until14.30 Monday to Friday.

I’m sorry to hear this Michael, there are problems everywhere with parking, especially in our street, our neighbours have 5 cars and no drive or handstanding and you can only park on one side of the street so I know how frustrating it is but can’t believe they would ever resort to puncturing someone’s tyres. I would park as far away from the culprits as you can even though you shouldn’t have to. I do hope things improve somehow x
 
Just the one time this week. I am parking legitmately. Many other people also park there but their cars/tyres are not targeted.
I have had dog poo smeared over the car, windscreeen wipers bent, the paintwork deeply scratched and side-mirrors broken off. If I could afford it I would leave but I can't. Most of the locals here are appalled at what I have been through

Thats awful!! Why on earth do people do that?!!
 
I don’t quite know what to say other than I’m truly sorry for your plight x

I am sure that I am not alone in this situation, there are hate-mongers everywhere in this world, they probably hate because they are incapable of understanding or compassion.

You are very calm about it, i'm not sure i would be in that situation. Its horrible for you.
 
It is horrible and I am not that calm. I am angry, not just at what I have had to go through but at the extreme lack of action by the police. I have done everything I can to earn the accolade of being a 'good neighbour' - which is the highest you can get in this very rural part of Spain. I am tired though and just wish that I coud lead the solitary, happy and quiet life that I wished.

Hard to put up with, I’d guess. Not nice.
 
Blue Monday again already. For the 2nd day on the trot it’s a 5.0.

Time to replace my car so hoping to go for a test drive this morning.
 
Morning all, a 7.4 for me, putting it down to peanuts as didn’t eat much yesterday. Grandson out of hospital, brain scan clear and he is his usual comedic self. They have referred him for a scan of his heart however, not much more info on that so will have to do the ‘wait and see’.
Off to work shortly which I’m not looking forward to. Looks like we will be battening down the hatches this week.
Have a good day one and all x
 
Morning

11 year anniversary for me and Bruce today, obviously no plans :( never mind only 4 days until pay day, can't wait to get some shopping!

6.8 this morning

Have a nice day folks
xx
 
4.3 for me today. 🙂
Have a good Monday everyone.

Morning all,
5.8 this morning after yesterday's Sunday roast 'out out'.
@Kaylz enjoy your celebrating as best you can with one eye on payday!

I saw on the CAP website the other day ' Do you have too much month left at the end of your money' I thought it very provoking...

Blessings Snowwy
 
Morning everyone. An 8.6 for me this morning and its Monday, my worst day of the week 🙄

@Kaylz, Happy Anniversary, hope Bruce likes his gift
@SueEK, glad your grandson is ok. Have a good day.
The news is on this morning and i wish they would stop using the term "lockdown". I know we need to do something but there has already been barriers put in place around a local supermarket and a shop has already reported running out of toilet rolls!
Hope everyone has a good day.

Morning all. 🙂 10.3 here - so, I change the timing of my evening meal bolus to avoid crashing an hour later and NOW I’m high overnight and in the morning (after 2 wee small hours correction doses), fffleurrgh. @khskel I seem to remember you saying your evening bolus is problematic. What do you do, timing-wise? Do you split the dose? My digestion seems to be a bit more laid back in the evening!

Oh, wot lovely news @eggyg. :D

Still work in progress. Splitting seems to be best solution so far. First half just after eating. Second lot about 30 mins later.
