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

Life is more of a mystery than an adventure for me. I see lots of 4s around midday but search as I might I cannot uncover where they come from of how to find them again. Not happy got a 5.8 this morning, my experiment to trace the elusive 4s not going well.

You are welcome. I think Romans 12 4-5 covers that. (I often wonder just what my use is on here)

You are right in saying Romans 12 4-5 covers; IMO 1-3 and 6-21 tuck it in. And if you stand back and look it over you will see that you serve your purpose very well.
Then turn back 4 chapters and remind yourself of 8:28. :)

Stalking deer is good exercise -- as long as you are not loaded for bear. ;)

Why thank you young lady. Fenland has 2 phrases for folk like me which have very different meanings and uses. A Shoot is good. One is usually pleased if so described. A sooner is always used affectionately, never really understood by anyone who qualifies but always carries a duty of care for those ITK. Both have degrees from "bit of a" through to "proper." Never let a proper sooner use a plumbers brazer.

Well, shoot, Fenland sounds like Oklahoma! :D

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen. Notice I am not mentioning politicians......yet, let's give them a chance.

Well folks we come to blood sugars my last couple of fasting readings have been in the low 8's I know why and my logic is sound, but the fine tuning needs a lot of work. O that simultaneous equation is complicated far beyond my mathematical abilities.

Now folks are you still with me?
What a talented bunch you are, I like the paintings please don't stop posting them and a few of regulars play musical instruments in bands. It seems we have a painter who appears to be suicidal on two wheels across forest tracks, shinny side up a motorcycle expression. Lastly but not least a lay preacher with a daily quote of the day.

I have no special talents apart from envy of the above with their skills, but I do have a talent for concocting pet and road kill recipes. I also get a lot of pleasure from making children's outdoor toys, my latest project is a go kart. Hand and foot note I also made the Pa Larkin style table.View attachment 38293

I love a good go-cart - will you be putting an orange box on the back (other coloured boxes available)?
 
@jjraak I would send you a Jack Lord if I knew how...many congrats for the amazing numbers though. Cant comment on bikes with engines..way too scary for me. Auntie Pengie says take care on the road, always.

That is beautiful.
I am freaking out a little bit right now -- in the good kind of way -- I've just been over at the web page of the little town I'm planning to move to, where someone had posted a photo they took of the moon that reminded me of some of your night scenes. While it did not draw me in as your paintings do, it did give me a feeling of being on the threshold of a similar mystical community of moon and trees and other creatures under the sky.

Curious point of note.
Ewan McGregor and Charlie wanted KTM to be the BIKE for the round the world TV shows, but they wouldn't give them the bikes..BMW did, a selection of GS's...and never looked back

Back from a lovely lunch and BG down to a respectable 5.6 but before we left home for the pub lunch it was 7.7 and I only had coffee for breakfast, lost and bewildered, but a bit more happy now.

We were talking all things European and holidays for some of the time and were asked about where we go in France. So inspired to paint France on return. These are the villages of Marcilly sur Maulne and Brie in between the Loire and the Loir rivers, two very untouristy French villages surrounded by Oak Forest and an English 1950s rural community feel about them. We have escaped here for over 15 years and still keep finding new places to visit. I have done two watercolours just less than A4 because I spent too long on the one 25 minutes and then decided to see if I could do the same scene in 10 minutes, not really happy with either but it's today's offering.

PS Never can do straight spires sorry these are wonky.

Love those pictures, I would be happy to have either on my wall and equally happy to holiday there although prefer the Perigord Noir. Meal and memories must have been good for you which is good to see.

How awful...poor mum

probably MORE important now to be able to communicate and not get too frightened or draw into herself

i hope mums get sorted asap.

best wishes.

Thanks, @jjraak. As always you understand my concerns based on your own similar experience. Mum has a second hearing aid but I often find that she is not wearing it, the battery is flat or not clicked correctly into place so mum has not been engaging with activities until we arrive. This means she either sleeps or gets anxious as she can't follow what is happening. Even when the remaining aid is working she has difficulty so we need the other one replacing asap. I will be chasing it up regularly with Specsavers. Best wishes.
 
Hey I know the thread is mostly about FBG but after a challenging lunch out I am currently 4.4 one finger, repeat second finger 4.8. OMG this just doesnt happen to me. Just had to tell y’all. Was it because I have had 2/3 days of happiness?

Great news and hopefully many more such days and petit fours.
 
This morning when I opened my eyes I saw from the quality of the sunlight that Spring is coming. And then this afternoon when I headed out to the grocery store I saw that the daffodils are up in our garden.

Now I am back indoors, watching Kitten Bowl VII, which will be followed by Cat Bowl II. Two kittens have just been adopted, and a cat lost in a California wildfire was returned to the humans who had adopted him shortly before they lost their home.
