I had a friend in Spain that was 20 years older than his sister! He told me his mum had some gynaecological problem that took 19 years to fix
hence the big gap.

Good morning inmates🙂
I woke up on 5.8, which is nice, I suppose. Getting out of bed was tricky, though, due to yesterday’s exertions.
It was bit of a circus, really. I’d phoned Plusnet on Thursday moaning about my supposed broadband running at 9mbs. So, Plusnet’s usual excellent service meant that an Openreach engineer turned up at 11am to try and locate the problem. The cleaners turned up at 11.05, so social distancing was fun. I escaped to the balcony. 😎
The engineer switched the ‘intelligent’ controller in the roadside box to a higher grade 80mbs. It’s still not right, only running at 25 or so. He explained that the controller tries to achieve steady output, so it continually monitors the speed it can do that. So it gradually gets lower and lower. The problem lies in the wiring. There’s high resistance somewhere between the box and me. The cleaners had long gone when he worked this out, but this was now 12.45. Anyway, Plusnet will be sorting this after the weekend. Plusnet is a wholly owned subsidiary of BT, but has excellent customer service. I’d probably still be trying to get through to BT itself.🙄
12.45 was an important time, because at 12.55 we were picked up by son-in-law to go to their gaff for a barbecue in the garden. Boy, was that good. He’d got a 4inch thick lump of sirloin, and slowly roasted, then thinly sliced for serving. Melt in the mouth, and still a little pink in the middle. Served with barbecued courgette slices, ditto Pak Choi and asparagus, and a herby potato salad. Yummy. Drank Chateau Diet Coke, accompanied by an amuse bouche of Creonand insulin. And baby granddaughter had her first ever fish finger to tax her newly acquired four teeth.
Went home a bit knackered, then I had to put a clean cover on the king sized quilt, which made me knackereder. (is that a word?) Cheered up by watching a film on Amazon Prime - Knives Out. It’s a superb whodunnit, very enjoyable.
Had to take a couple of Tramadol before bed, as everything was aching and I could barely walk..
So that’s why it was tricky getting out of bed this morning, and brekkie was a double espresso and two more Tramadol. That’s probably why I’m rambling.
Have a great day, folks. Don’t go to beaches, full of hoi pilloi with no brains, masks or hand steriliser. Just stick the Factor 50 on and sit in the garden with a glass of chilled rosé. Trust me, I’m a doctor

Still high as a kite and I don’t mean from giddiness! My body has gone into some kind of free fall since stopping one of the cancer meds and run off with the insulin supply. I was 7.3 this morning but that’s the best waking level of the week. According to my annual review nurse I shouldn’t be fretting about carb control but she couldn’t suggest what I should fret about instead to get the normally good levels back! 🙄
Back to the drawing board....

Morning all
A 6.1 for me today, not the best nights sleep like many I am sure.
Strange noise in the middle of the night didn't help, a picture fell off the wall would you believe!
Managed to repair the metal shed roof yesterday but had to wait until teatime as it was literally too hot to handle!

It’s going to be another hot one. I found it unbearable yesterday, heat and me don’t sit comfortably together. Eyes are playing up and tooth hurting so not a great start to the day. Had an email last night to say I have a hygienist and dental appt on Tuesday, first I’ve heard of it!! Off back home later today, will be avoiding Brighton beach, I’m surprised we haven’t had a local lockdown due to the amount of people coming.
Anyhow 6.1 for me today, hope you all have a good day. Stay safe and away from the beaches x

5.9 this morning
It is already hot. Not a day to do too much.
The loungers will just move from shade to shade.
I went to put the hammock up under our densely covered pergola yesterday, until we saw how rotted the posts are. Another little job for the autumn. Now that we aren’t going away we will have plenty of time for these things.
A bit more dyeing today as the yarns dried very quickly yesterday.
Enjoying just playing around. No planning at all. Unusual for me.
Have a good day.

Morning
Was a light mist when I clambered out of bed and opened my curtains at 5:50am, came back to the living room with breakfast at 7:10am and can barely make anything out through the window it's gotten that thick! 😱 still warm though, almost 26C in my bedroom
@Michael12421 nice one, much better! 🙂
6.9 for me this morning
Have a nice day folks and take care in this heat!

Morning all, 8.2 for me today. Our house smells like Christmas day at the mo as I'm currently cooking a Turkey crown ready for our friends who live opposite as they're coming over for dinner later. So it's cold turkey, jacket spuds and corn on the cob done on the bbq with salad and stuff. Should be a good afternoon.
