Good afternoon Lynn, it hasn't been the best of mornings, mum and I had to take Flame, our 17 year old cat to the vet's to be crossed over the Rainbow Bridge. We are all heartbroken but it was the right thing to do 💔💔 It has been raining since about 7pm last night so, once again, everything is a sludgy mess! Dad is doing ok, thank you for asking. Oh I'm so sorry - I was in such a temper about the whole thing I thought I'd told you and I haven't. Sorry. My blood tests confirmed that I'm pre-diabetic and, when I checked the NHS App, I've been pre-diabetic for three years. Three! And this is the first I'm hearing about it 🤬🤬 My 'appointment' with the doctor was a telephone call. She rang two hours late and, when I answered my phone she had no clue why she was actually ringing!!

I came off the phone, roughly five minutes later, knowing no more than when this all started. She told me nothing helpful, gave me no hints or tips and no clue to what to/what not to eat. She did, some three hours later, send me (via a text message!) a link to a downloadable leaflet for managing ones diet to avoid pre-diabetes becoming diabetes. When I tried to access the link it returned an error code 404 - page not found! You couldn't make this stuff up!! A friend has suggested I look on Facebook as there are a number of groups for both pre-diabetics and those with diabetes which I may do at some point. For now I'll make a few more adjustments to my diet and see how things go. How are your legs today after yesterday's jaunt to the supermarket?

I hope the weather is kind to you for your hairdressers appointment🤞I don't plan on doing much after lunch, I already have a headache and, honestly, I just can't be bothered. Take care my friend and stay snuggled in the warm once you're done for the day xx

Good afternoon Lynn, another cold and dreary day here but at least it isn't raining! 😂 I do believe that you are quite right about pancakes tasting different on Pancake Day, perhaps that's the reason we don't really bother I remember the same thing with the Nottinghill Carnival, there used to be a lot of trouble and, no matter how the years have changed it, there is still small, isolated pockets of trouble every year! Forgot it was shopping day yesterday and only just made the deadline, it does mean I have to do the bills today though *sigh* Enjoy your afternoon and stay safe and warm indoors as it's icy out xx

Good afternoon Lynn and thank you for the link on my Timeline, isn't that just how a carnival should be? Brilliant! I'm glad your grandson enjoyed his time at the carnival and is looking forward to his birthday tomorrow. You have to love an Amazon Wish List 😂 I most certainly will be having pancakes today, they're one of those foods, I absolutely love them but still only ever have them on Pancake Day! It's been a cold, crisp day here and we're being threatened with the dreaded snow ❄️ Eeeek! I'm very tired today, must try and get an earlier night. Enjoy YOUR pancakes if you're having any and have a lovely evening xx
