This and That

Marion (Cohuna) and Yvonne (Leitchville) are happily ensconced in a cute cabin, with a queen and a single bed and all conveniences. They are half way between us and the pool. They arrived one day early and their cabin wasn't available but this new one is even nicer.

The new 25 metre pool is full of water but they are waiting on the filters to come. This pool is going to be about 28C and the weather is not quite warm enough for a cool pool yet. I will use it as soon as it's ready and go back and forth from it to the hottest pool. I love the buzz I get when I plunge into the cold water!!
We're still having cold, cold nights and mornings, but lovely sunny days, ranging from 20 to 24C. It's beginning to feel like spring is in the air!

We went to the monthly market in the park last Sunday. There were two stalls selling rocks, fossils and old coins, so I bought a few for Christmas presents for the grandkids. Last year we gave six of them echinoids (sea urchins), about 10 million years old. Tatum received a beautiful fossilised leaf, about 40 million years, I think.

We now have a regular Monday appointment with the Diabetic Educator. She is knowledgeable and helpful but I think that she is getting impatient with me!! I don't eat and swim at the times she thinks I should. She was horrified when she discovered that I take an hour to eat most meals. That threw out her plans for post-meal blood testing. She made the statement that seeing that I take so long to eat my food, I must be eating all day long. Grrrr. I've always been a very slow eater; I'm famous for it. My family will serve up my food first and tell me to start; even then, I'm last to finish. She keeps increasing the insulin, which isn't going to go down well with my own doc, I fear. Who do I believe??!!
I've discovered one important thing ----- I can bring down a high blood sugar level with only a little exercise. If I eat all of my meals on my feet and do the housework at the same time, maybe then the woman will be satisfied!!!!
