30/05/18
07:12 BS 9.4. That’ll be the oatcake yesterday! 6 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 3 slices veg roll local butcher, 1 box 100g microchips mccains, 200g baked beans heinz & bottled water. 09:26 BS 13.4.

12:05 BS 10.0. 4 units Novorapid 29 units Levemir & all other meds. Lunch:- 3 beef sandwiches, 3 cups of tea (1 each of twinings honey camomile & buttermint in the teapot) with 90ml longlife almond milk & 1.5tsp (0.5 in each cup) honey rowse! I love this tea combination as it’s so refreshing on a hot summer’s day! 14:18 BS 10.8.

15:00 fancied some whipped ice cream so, walked 3500 steps, there & back, to get some at the nearest petrol station. Sat at the picnic table to have my ice cream before walking back. Nearly melted on the walk back! Melting emoji or, TVB’s Fred melting into a muddle! Thank goodness I didn’t go out earlier in the day! I really enjoyed my ice cream guilt free as I’d walked 3500 steps for it! Sometimes only freshly whipped ice cream straight from the machine will do! 😛

17:36 BS 5.4. That’ll be the meltingly hot walk then: ice cream had no impact on BS! 4 units Novorapid Dinner:- 2 78% meat beef burgers hulls, 1 bag steam veg tesco greens & corn & 150ml pressed pear juice granini. 19:28 BS 9.4 just after bath & going to bed soon!

If you haven’t read about Fred, on the waking BS thread, here’s an explanation:-

For many, many years Hong Kong TV channel TVB has had, & still does, an animated weatherman called Fred! My late grandmother never listened to the weather report & just watched what Fred did, or is that what happens to him? :D

If it was a perfect summer’s day that wasn’t too hot, he’d see a flower, pick it up & put it in his jacket buttonhole, exclaiming ahhh! as he walked away. If it was very hot, he’d melt into a puddle of water. If it was rainy, he’d put up an umbrella. If there was a typhoon, he’d get blown away.

I loved watching Fred when I discovered him on my first trip to HK when I was 10! I loved the extreme weather conditions the best:- Fred melting, drowning, blown away & struck by lightning! :D Oh, & Fred sneezing so hard, he’d blow himself away when the pollen count was high! :D

Puzzled by my grandmother switching off the telly after seeing Fred without watching the weather report afterwards, I asked her about it! She told me Fred had already told her all she needed to know! 🙄 😎 :D

31/05/18
07:02 BS 9.6. 7 units Novorapid Breakfast:- 3 slices veg roll local butchers, 1 box 100g microchips mccains, 200g baked beans heinz & bottled water. 09:09 BS 13.7.

12:10 BS 13.3 8 units Novorapid (+2 correction as BS is over 13 & +2 for honey in tea) 29 units Levemir & all other meds. Lunch: 3 beef sandwiches & 2 cups of tea (twinings honey camomile & buttermint) 60ml longlife almond milk & 1tsp honey rowse. 14:38 BS 13.2.

17:21 BS 8.3. 5 units Novorapid as yesterday's after dinner reading was a bit high & tonight's reading before is also a bit higher too! Dinner:- oven baked salmon fillet, 1 bag steam veg tesco greens & corn, 0.5 tinned pears & 0.5 of the drained juice. 19:07 BS 6.9 just after bath before bed. Again borderline but, I'll leave it this time as the oatcake was unnecessary the last time.

Today was MUCH cooler but, also stickier as light rain this morning didn't clear the air! The grey cloud cover made it very humid!

My sister, & her husband, & my brother came round & we were talking about my other sister, in the hospice! She doesn't want any visitors to see her & was running short of money! We, brother, sister & brother-in-law decided to send the money we would have used for plane tickets to her bank account instead.

Coincidentally, my sister, in the hospice, rang me & we all had a nice chat with her on the phone! She sounded quite energetic & happy! She even asked me about my ear, my other sister told her about it in one of their phone calls. She doesn't want me to see her the way she is now & wants me to remember her the way she was.

She was last here with me on a visit with my dad & other siblings last summer from July to August 2017. She'd already had some health issues bothering her & I'd urged her to see a GP when she went back! It was shortly after in Sept. after she got back to Burnley that she got the cancer diagnosis!

She only told her husband & son as she saw how my mum's very quick passing from cancer on 1st. June diagnosis to 15th. July 2015 affected the whole family: she didn't want to distress us when we couldn't help! THAT was the hardest part about mum's passing!

She always seemed very heroic to me as a child growing up & I put her on a pedestal! It wasn't until I (in italics) grew up myself that I saw her flaws, disillusioning, & saw her as she actually is! I'll always remember her as being very brave!
