    Well done you. I have been diabetic for 43 years it was great when I was younger but it has been rubbish for about 10 years since my new job started. I am going to work on it now. A healthy diet really helps stress makes it worse so avoid it.

    Am cooking sausages for breakfast. It looks gorgeous out there but I think it is a bit chilly. I don't really have anything to do. I will cook later but now I am going to read some books. I might practice my French later too as I have had a cd for years but never listen to it.

    Oh SW, your Easter egg situation is both worrying and funny! Lucky the hypo happened at a time you had lots of chocolate around but please be careful in future!

    Sounds like we're having similar Easter Sundays (albeit yours is more intellectual) which is good as it sounds like you need a restful day. I hope you enjoy it :)
  • You silly bean SW! Hope you're feeling better now, I've had a day with a book too, lovely way to have a relaxing day off!

    I think the lobelia are coming up. We might have a frost tonight so I have to cover them.

    I cleaned the skirting boards. Nothing else to do. I might do a shop tomorrow and I think I am seeing my friend. I have had the laziest day ever.

    Bless you i am totally chilled. I have just been out with bin bags covering my darling lavender and lobelia. What a saddo! Steve and Andy made me. lol. Percy Thrower didn't ever do this I am sure he made it look easy on Blue Peter.:rotfl:

    I thought I was going out with Craftyhants today but she is having her hair done so Ive moved it to Thursday. I am having a chill day here but might buy some food later. Weather is bright and cheery. Am reading.

    Just found out that the plastering is going to start on Saturday. All being well it should only take one day.

    Today I haven't much to do. I might buy some bananas. Tomorrow I visit my best friend and then go to the shop to buy laminate for the hallway in the afternoon.
