Hi all, I am in to say hello. We have good weather here. If you remember, I had a headache before I left. It didn't go away until two days before my trip.

The headache is still gone (almost, it is there from time to time, but only as a weak pain).

I try to do the exercises for my shoulders and I have been walking longer and longer trips each day (in the heat). One day I went too fast and my blood glucose fell very low. I had to leave the dinner table and go right to bed after taking my dia-meds. High temperatures do something to the insulin in the blood stream (for us who are diagnosed with diabetes).

Today I have had my hair cut and colored. The price was half of the price in my country. Many things are sold to a low price here, much cheaper than at home where it is difficult to make the money last for everything that is needed (except for the needles I needed to buy here for my glucose measurement, more than 10 euro's for one weeks supply). As always when prises rise, the only thing one have to cut away is food ... (one has to pay one's rent, electricity bills and so on).

I see they have small flats for sale here; 25 m2. Not much to live in through the whole year with only one to two trips home for visiting relatives. A part of me wants to buy one of those apartments and move, when the other half says no, no, no ...

I think the wisest is to let the thought become more mature in all the realities I have to face in either choice - continue to live at home in a country with cold winters, but with family members not too far away or move to a warmer country where I don't know a living soul. (I am 70+).

I wish all of you good solutions to whatever problem you have to face in your lives nowadays.
