Good Morning Tuesday 10th May 2022

Hi All. First time on this site.
Sunny in West Midlands - at the moment.
Thought I'd join as I work from home and it gets very quiet.
Me? Work for the NHS - not medical, but in the commercial sector
I'm 63 - feel 100, but want to start feeling 63 again! Or even 53 :-)
I play bowls, just started, so still trying to get the bowls to do what I want them to.
I like walking - nothing long distance - although years ago I did do the Lyke Wake Walk in Yorkshire
I've played piano for over 55 years, so getting the hang of it now - got myself a banjo, but not got into the habit of practising it yet..it's not safe these days to be out under lamp posts playing it...
So have a good day everyone. As I'm new - is it pc to give your name out? Hate being so impersonal

Good morning Mick and all. It’s sunny in my corner of Lancashire, currently 13°C.

It was disappointing to discover that my A1C levels (blood glucose) had increased by one yesterday, despite my efforts. After discussing with the nurse practitioner at my GP we came to the conclusion my recent mobility issues had contributed to this. It’s something I can’t really control, the gout pain even prevented me from using my exercise bike. Hoping the new meds are doing their job.

Anyway we have been up and about early this morning, been for a walk then a supermarket visit to stock up on frozen prepared (not processed) vegetables as I’m aiming to increase my veg consumption. I struggle with peeling and prep, so frozen fresh are very useful. Tinned tomatoes are the basis for many low fat curries and sauces, a store cupboard standby for me.

I shall stop wittering on now and read the thread!

Hello and welcome Bowlore and Keepingsane and a warm welcome to any new members I have missed recently.
