Pretty quiet here today....suppose everyone's out enjoying the glorious sunshine down south. It's dull, grey and cool here - a paltry 19C at 5.30pm. No barbecues here lol. :)

I remember watching Ivan Mauger at Exeter when he rode for the Falcons.

I cooked pasta bolagnese laast night with 2 finely chopped onions, 2 cloves of garlic, 8 oz of minced beef, 1/2 a can of chopped tomatoes, thyme, 8 oz of pasta twists (tricolore fusilli). today I@m making Jamaican stew curry chicken and rice.

This morning my fasting blood glucose was 5.8 mmol.

Take care, my lovely friends, and I'm sorry a few of you have been feeling poorly. Get well soon and much love and hugs and best wishes to you from Stockwell in South London on PC 1 at Tate South Lambeth Public Library where I am operating this account.

Hey, Johnny (@autisticwonder1970) - I didn't realise you were such a chef; well done! Good work on your FBGs lately, too - you are really getting to grips with this, despite all of us nagging you about your Devil Carbs. :)
Keep winning!
Hugs x

And less than a mile from my front door. Was on the trail around there yesterday sitting on a bench when two dragon flies flew past me both travelling at a serene rate straight up the centre of the trail path they both were red and gold and I swear they were each about four inches long.

Gorgeous! You are so lucky to have that on your doorstep - I'm very envious.
Funnily enough, I have been watching a dragonfly this week, too. He's been visiting our pond each day and is magnificent - huge and shimmering in blue and green. I've been dying to show the grandchildren, but he hasn't shown up when they visit yet.

You lucky thing! The only time I've seen dragonflies in the wild is when we went on holiday to Scotland last summer. My cousin took us to see the Kelpies and there were some amazing examples on the nature trail

My ponds not big enough to home dragonflies and it won't be my pond anymore when we get a moving date

Beautiful clusters of them fly close to the lake edge and grass at Ullswater noticed a lot one year fascinating to watch

Love that song - I often sing it to myself at the top of my lungs when I'm driving on a nice day, along with Summertime. (I have to sing to myself, as I wouldn't inflict my singing on anyone else. I know for a fact it wouldn't bring them the same amount of pleasure that it brings me, LOL!)
:joyful:

Morning all! The furniture moving bug seems to have hit me this morning. Which might mean I need careful supervision with shopping for new bits of furniture later on in the week. My original plan for the littlest bedroom never really took off, so I'm turning it into a music room/study. I do quite a lot of admin type work at home, and it was beginning to take over the sitting room more than I liked!

It's good exercise all this going up and down stairs with book cases and files.

Going to be interesting to see what effect on blood sugars by not taking any Metformin for today and tomorrow (48 hours) - due to have a MRI Scan with Contrast dye on Wednesday morning. This morning's fasting was 5.6 - never expected that as they have mostly been in the 6's since taking Steriod Tablets.

Must be the effect of you reducing your steroid dosage on Saturday William. How are the side effects now?
