Good morning. A Len Goodman today. SEVEN! Off on our travels again, just one night to Nurburg, Mr Eggy wants to the drive the Nurburgring. I didn’t have a clue, if you’re like me, Google it, although I know quite a few of you will know exactly what I mean. It’s over fours hours from here, so setting off very soon and heading to Heidelberg for a mooch around and lunch to break the journey. Looking forward to that more than Nurburg! I must say I feel really lucky we’re escaping all this rain you’re having over in the UK, forecast dry and warm today but changing as we move further north. Don’t think I’ll cope when we get home! Have a good ‘un. 🙂
On positive note, wife joined a slimming group 6 weeks ago and has lost 1st 3lbs, decided to cut back last 3 weeks and not been on scales since, got on this morning to see I'm 5lbs lighter.
Good morning folks, sorry no likes on posts today but I'm a bit behind but have read them lol, normal service will resume tomorrow 😳
Well bank account was £62 lighter by 8am this morning 😱 never mind that's dad's Nivea mens gift set that he asked for ordered for his Christmas, asked Bruce to write out 3 sets of darts he was interested in and I'd get 1 for his birthday so near £40 for 3 bits of Tungsten 😱 if he's lucky he might even get a second set 🙄 and treated myself while I was there to Paddington on DVD for under £5
Well ask me how I got on in yesterday’s Annual Senior Citizens Flu Jab Derby. Did I win?
No such luck! Expecting scenes reminiscent of the first day of the January Sales, I was pleasantly surprised to find no sleeping bags, primus stoves, deckchairs etc.,
but only a healthy (well who knows if they were?) five members of my community in front of me.
I was even more pleasantly surprised when it transpired that three of them had turned up for bloods or to have their ears syringed and so on.
Sadly, I was pipped at the post by last year’s winner, Viz’s Mrs Brady Little Old Lady lookalike.
So near and yet so far. 😛 @eggyg Good luck to Mr Eggy! Let's hope he doesn't go all shouty like Clarkson, or worse still, start punching catering staff just cos his favourite isn't on the menu at lunch. 😱
Good morning a better 5.1,🙂 feel a bit unsteady on my feet today although BS`s are within range.🙄 A nice sunny day with mist on the rear windows, although its 19.5.C on the sea facing wall.😎 A call from the Dr yesterday after giving a poo sample at the hospital last week, my Creon has been increased from 10000 to 50000, all Creonistas will understand.🙂
@eggyg Nürburgring is the track on which Niki Lauda was badly burnt in a F1 accident driving for Ferrari in 1976, beware Mr @eggyg.😳
I keep forgetting to do my blood glucose test, but before lunch I was 5.7, before dinner I am 5.0 and now I am going to have a naughty of Wiltshire Cured Ham Gratin. ....... probably 8.5 in a couple of hours if I remember to do the finger prick test again.
Morning. A 7.3 on our last day in Germany. Had really heavy rain last night, hope the track is ok for Mr Eggy’s drive. He wants me to go with him but I’m a nervous passenger at the best of times without being flung around various corners at 130kph ( or more). We’ll see. After the boy plays with his toy, we’re off to Bruges for our last two nights! All good things must come to an end. It’s half term next week and a granddaughter’s birthday so duty calls. Going to try and pop into Maastricht on the way to Belgium, just so we can say we went to Holland too. But I do believe it’s a beautiful city, like Hiedleberg which we visited for a couple of hours yesterday. So auf wiedersehen for now. Have a wunderbar Wednesday. 🙂
Morning, made it to mid week 🙂 back to normal oh well it was nice having lower readings even if it was for a short period, it was an 8.3 from me at 6.15am this morning.
