What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

[Muddy Cyclist]

P.S. I was thinking about creating a new general thread for posting my beading updates rather than derail this thread, what do you think?

Why not do both?

Nice creative work, I'm sure she will love it.

4.8 this morning, but feeling better today. Yesterday evening I got a phone call from my paternal grandparents, they are down my way and would I like to meat for lunch? Of course I said yes and we quickly arranged a pub local to me for the meet-up. So at 9pm last night I hurriedly made a quick bracelet to give my Nan.

I would be happy @Fndwheelie if you continued to do your beading updates on here.
The title of this thread is What is your fasting blood glucose?(full on chat) which includes tags of #daily chat #daily discussion , so you are not derailing this thread.

We wanted to chat about other stuff than just fasting blood glucose which is why @HarrisonK created this thread. So many thanks to him.

You continue to post your beading updates on here. Daily if you like.

We want to see your beading projects here on this thread!

5.6 this morning - which isn't bad as I spent much of the day chained to the computer.

Yesterday husband picked up my new car - or more accurately my newer car. I know it is really silly but I hate changing my car because I get very scared of driving a different car. It's almost a phobia.

Today I am driving it to work. Husband didn't go out last night with his mates for a drink so he can come in with me this morning and take over the driving if I just can't do it. Silly isn't it to be scared of driving a new car.

Great fbg and nothing silly about wariness when changing cars - what's phobic about wanting yourself and others to be safe?

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen. You can relax for the next few days I shall be having a monumental sulk and orf line till Wednesday, For a large financial donation I could cease posting....

Today's reading was a well behaved 6.2 but I did put my hammer next to the meter as a sort of threat.

Well the gas men have disappeared leaving barriers round the hole they have dug and filled in my front garden also on the footpath outside. Mrs J's freezer is now defrosted and restocked with all sorts of frozen protein. The kango hammer has been given to the neighbour who's 60th birthday Mrs J ruined, so abnormality has returned.
Have a great few days.

Actually I love reading about your beading on this thread. I don't think it is derailling the thread as it is in the general chat section - and we do a lot of general chatting here which is actually really nice to read.

The horn is tomorrow's fun. Today is the bladder. Goodness knows what part(s) next week might be. Have a great day.

good luck with all those tests and procedures.

5.8 today

I'm even more behind with my favourite thread than ever! My Twitter has been manic since Wednesday's appearance on This Morning! I'm just about keeping up. Anyway I think it will start calming down now.

Today is breakfast out with hubby day. His first Saturday off since he was 12 (apart from annual leave and occasional weddings). So a very special day. He is a little giddy! It wont last as I will be thrusting a paintbrush in his hand soon after I'm a hard task master Haha.

Whilst looking into the new keto craze of chaffles (egg and cheese waffles) I came across this amazing cookery book for £5.50 delivered! Bargain. It not only looks good but has fab recipes in. I'm going to work my way through when I find the kitchen!!!

Have a great weekend.

I'm missing everyone but hoping to catch up tonight over a naked kebab (the meat not me!!!). And a nice glass of red wine. It's been a hell of a week!! In a very good way.

Morning All. 6.2 this morning after a very nice fish dinner but derailed by peanuts. I need to stop buying them.
Some great FBGs today @geeful @Krystyna23040 @karen8967 @Fndwheelie.
Please continue to post the beading, daily if you wish, here. I commit to two watched threads only and love the banter on here. Bet your Nan loved her bracelet!
@jjraak I loved that track from 10cc also..funny how a song takes you back to memories not visited for a while. @gennepher another great photo..we get frogs in our garden and always a worry when the lawnmower comes out. @ianpspurs good luck with the latest test and keep the faith. @Muddy Cyclist have a great time singing on the hill...Mr d’Arcy shirt mm rain could help a lot! Last but not least @SaskiaKC sounds like a nice day out even if didnt result in a mattress! At least you know what you like for when the time is right.
Have a great Saturday everyone. We are off to a daytime 50 anniversary party of OHs golf buddy. Stay well, stay safe. @Krystyna23040 all the best with new car. OH got a new car recently I am still too scared to drive it but will have to get over myself.

 

[geefull]

good morning all

4.2 today

just in the kitchen cooking a piece of pork ready for dinner tomorrow with mum, a big batch of meaty sausages and having a try at flax seed crackers whilst I've got the oven on

it's not looking too dire outside so I hope to get a walk later and maybe even lunch out

Hope your day ('muddy' or otherwise) treats you well

 

[HarryBeau]

Morning...had a full on day yesterday which resulted in a whole eight hours sleep last night...feel as if I've been on holiday...grass now cut and many of the weeds between the paving slabs removed (sadly more to do)… did a lot of 'cutting in' on the painting too planning more of that today my spirit is willing but we shall see...a quick tidy up then I was exhausted...some rubbish TV then to bed at 11:30pm...haven't done that for so long...good luck to the 'mudders' & 'beaders' and weekenders off for some breakfast & of course more coffee...woke to a 6.2

 

[trick60]

Good morning all, 5.5 on the testing dice, off to Tesco's to get the shopping in (you volunteer once and it suddenly becomes a job for life) then clear the garden of fallen apples pears and plums, mow the lawns and may even unearth the scarifier from the depth of the bottom shed, my only worry being that if I open the door said shed may well fall down as it is looking a bit wonky.

Have a fabbo day all, lets hope for an indian summer this year, I'm missing that Californian sun already.

 

[ianpspurs]

good luck with all those tests and procedures.

@Krystyna23040, thanks so much for the good wishes. Keratosis horn now removed. Last piece of snippy, snippy cut, cut done for now. Just waiting for results. Focus moves to why this diet fails me - and I stress me only- particularly limiting the collateral damage it does to me. - neither of the 2 problems needing the sawbones can be attributed to LC. Hugs or advice not needed. This is a niche problem and won't involve Diet Dr or Fung for sure. Not anti either of those they just don't work for me. Not yet at the stage of writing off LC.

Good morning and a 5.8 for me today

Wow, the words must have been in my subconscious, you ar right we play a song by The Band of Heathens called Maple Tears and the second line uses almost the same imagery.....
'I met a girl from Manitoba
Where the wind hits wild on the Hudson Bay'
Hardly folk I know but we do sneak in quite a few Country and Western tunes also.

Off to iron my Mr Darcy shirt now ready for today's performance.

I will YouTube that song -- it reminds me of Ian and Sylvia's "Four Strong Winds." As your description of your Cheshire venue reminded me of these lines: "purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain" of "America the Beautiful."

 

[SaskiaKC]

Ha ha
I am not kissing him. No way....

Well (ahem!), remembering what our mothers told us at about the age when boys suddenly started to become as fascinating as frogs and toads, turtles, centipedes, lightning bugs, ponies ...

 

[SaskiaKC]

Wife's friend off to Jamaica.
Wife gone to benidorm with friends.
Me.... Croydon.....lol

Got me cat sitting duties.. Love it.
But not brought testing kit, so no reads for last two days.. But average has been 5.7 to 6.0.. So I'm gonna guess a 6.2...(yep as suspected, her friend left me a few beer in the fridge... And they've now gone missing... )

Awoke to Foxes "screeching".. about 440 am

Cats not in room, so a tad worried, downstairs to check garden.. Couldn't see out, too dark.. So put on light.. And they're both sitting there on dining chairs... With that "WHAT?".. Look cats have, on there faces..

Then apparently it was breakfast time, according to them
So cats fed n watered. Tea for me.
So all good.

Hugs for those who can't sleep or are up to early... Day off for me, so back to bed.

You are a good man, @jjraak. I'm glad you have cats to care for.

Croydon Cats Rock Out

I don't think you are derailing this thread. It is a General Full-On Chat Thread and I enjoy reading about your bead work, and seeing it in your photos, just as I enjoy reading others' posts. OTOH, a crafting sort of thread might be a good idea too, and bring together people who don't come to this thread. As @Muddy Cyclist says, why not do both?

Not at all. I hope the experience was a good one and that you will enjoy your new set of wheels as much as I always enjoyed mine. (BTW, what a hubby! Yay!)

I agree with @SaskiaKC and @Muddy Cyclist
It might be a great idea starting a crafting thread as well, for others too.

But post your bead photos on here first!!!
Please!!!!
Pretty please!!!

FBG 5.9 this morning. KittenCat fed, coffee drunk, new anti-anxiety pill swallowed. And so back to bed ...

@trick60 : a little advice from Detective Danny of "Blue Bloods" re: grocery shopping: Don't forget the coupons, and if they're out of the rain-scented detergent, you can always get the bacon-scented one.

 

[SaskiaKC]

I hope y'all can view this. I saw it on TV last night and it reminded me of all the great dads and granddads of this thread (and of my own great dad too).
