Costa does cruises as well as coffee? Well I never 
Ds1 was not amenable to a run, oh well. His exams finish soon and he will have no reason not to accompany me *evil laugh*

Isn't Costa the one that ran aground because the Italian captain was showing off to a young floozie?*
*I may be maligning her unfairly, in which case I apologise

I saw the nurse about some of my 'sub-optimal' blood test results. As I expected, my blood sugar was too high. Having had gestational diabetes on both pregnancies I've always been aware that I'm a candidate for pre-diabetes or type 2 diabetes, but follow-up tests always mean no action is necessary. It'll probably be the same thing this time - they clearly aren't too bothered as I don't need a repeat test for three months. The nurse did say that clearly I was just unlucky as I tick all the right boxes in terms of diet, activity and weight.
She also took my BP, which I wasn't expecting. I pointed out that I'd stopped hedge-trimming to cycle to the surgery, so it was likely to be elevated, as indeed it was. So back next week after taking it myself for seven days, to have another follow up on that. Sigh.

What a faff LD. My Mum always gets elevated blood pressure when she goes to the doc or nurse as she gets worried about it so has to do the week at home thing to prove she’s fine.

My sister is a big fan of Costa cruises, I'm not sure I'd like to go on such big ships. When I finally go on a cruise it will be on a small ship with about 1000 or fewer passengers.

That doesn't sound too bad, LD, but something to keep an eye on.
Yes, it is *that* Costa and we got cheap tickets that very year for that very reason It was only a 3 day cruise and the boys have been begging me ever since to go back. OH is not all that bothered about it though so I'll need to bribe him with something else. He is the one begin the most difficult about it (to my slight surprise). I fear if I go, he'll sulk all summer and hold it against me till the end of time. But if I don't go, then I'll sulk all summer and hold it against him...
