    Don't eat pies or biscuits and severely limit my fat intake @Obelixx. Usually have one Danish per week as a treat but admit to two cakes already this week as we've been out and about more than usual. Practice Nurse still had my old weight recorded, despite me telling them i'd lost 1.5 stone (10 kilos?)in 2019 and I'm only 4lbs up on that after two lockdowns. Still, blood tests don't lie and I must do something about it. No wine tonight.

    It's good news that you have sorted out an arrangement about the donkey/garden that suits you both @Busy-Lizzie. It's looking increasingly likely that you will be able to travel to UK soon, don't you think? OH's car sounds a bargain, how is he coping with his bad hip? There's a possibility that both of us might have to go on the waiting list for a new one.

    @Lizzie27, the doctors tried to tell me the same,  over a year ago.  I changed nothing, the next test was fine.

     That's interesting @Allotment Boy, I did wonder whether it's just a computer says no thing.  Because I'm losing height due to osteoporosis/crushed vertebrae and am now under 5 ft, my weight is out of all proportion to my height. That's my excuse anyway and I'm sticking to it!

    In fairness,  the time of year makes a difference as the garden & the Allotment are my main exercise.  So the bad test was in winter when my activity levels were lower.  So I am not saying ignore it but don't panic.

I figured it was the picture of a green hand set, bashing away at it missing the call,then my daughter informed me you put your finger on it and kind of "slide" it

    Morning everyone. Our whole valley was under fog again, but it has now lifted, at 10.30 am. Looks like a nice 20 degree day. No wind either. 👏👏

    Good morning all 😊 ☕️
    Looks like a nice morning here too @Pat E 😊   ... bright but some cloud and 6C ... no frost 😊 and it looks as if we should get some rain at sometime over the next ten days ... probably not enough but some will be good 🤞

    Good morning all. 
    We've had some rain, not much, it's still dry under the chairs.
