Morning all,
A Heinz Special at a 5.7 this morning.
I just noticed my average for the whole of last month was 5.88.
Afternoon tea booked today, at least it's inside looking at the weather.
Put paid to my patio work atm.
Morning. 6.3. Wee bit of ground frost but forecast is great. Sunshine and very light winds. Off to walk around Derwent Water and then have a chippy tea. No wedding planning today, I’m closed for business, until tomorrow! Have a great day and TGIF for all you work slaves. 🙂
Awaiting delivery of my Roger Black Cross Trainer - to get me through those cold icy winter mornings when I wont be able to get out to exercise. 😱
My old one, like myself, has started to creak with age.
I’m glad ‘annuals’ didn’t undergo a dodgy autocorrect!
Morning all.🙂 6.5 here.
Boo hoo, missing friends and family in lockdown areas - anyone else feeling down? It seems to be affecting me this week. Anyone got a joke to cheer us all up?
Grrrr!!! Wanted to get into work a bit earlier this morning to get a few jobs done, tested before driving and its dropped to 4.2, finger prick confirmed. Typical, i'll now have to wait and the jobs don''t get done again.
Yes, not being able to see Bruce really has me suffering and any restriction changes have now been pushed back until at least the 15th October there's an advert on here saying if we stick together and follow the guidelines then we'll soon be back to being able to be together and get back to normal when in reality yes it may happen but only until the next time as cases will always increase again, down isn't the word for how I'm feeling really xx

That's one reason decided not to pursue getting a bike license, couldn't commit to getting anywhere on time relying on driving myself so no real point and Bruce just gave up trying to learn as he always had a seizure when he started taking lessons again, ah well lol xx
Morning all, 6.8 for me today, but that was at 4am when I got up for work! I was only there for 3 hours today (supposed to be my day off), the girl that usually does all the cash stuff is off at the mo as her mum is waiting for her covid test to come back.
Morning all, 7.1 today. Had a lovely day with my daughter yesterday. Took the dogs out for a long walk, went out for lunch and went to the Range to pick some things up. At lunch my daughter and the waitress were trying to convince me to have lasagne and the waitress is saying, oh you really don’t need to worry about the calories you’re slim, my daughter replies no she’s diabetic and there was a huge puzzled look on the waitress’s face. I explained it has so many carbs in it to which she replied, oh we don’t put sugar in it!! Can’t blame her!! Didn’t have it.
What a night down here, nice rocking(ish) movement of the caravan, had visions of all my plant pots scattered around, patio table and chairs flown about but no, nothing but it sure is blowing a gale, very noisy in a tin box. @Kaylz so sorry you are feeling so low and having nightmares and sleeping badly is really not helping. Try your best to think positive and hopefully it won’t be long before you and Bruce can be living together and making babies. It will happen so stay strong xx

The costs of appliances means I won't be there for a while yet unfortunately, with him having been on sick pay most of what he's been getting a week has went on rent and of course groceries etc and council tax this week as well, will take a while to build up money to be able to get the things we need especially with him having to get buses to and from work, absolute nightmare, wouldn't have been so bad if Bubbles hadn't cost over £2000 in the last year! xx
