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

Great fbs and temperature.He

Good to hear that Popeye gave a good account of himself.

We had a large while rabbit called Snowy when the children were young. One day he was attacked in the garden by a cat. We rushed out to find him covered in blood and the cat escaping over the fence.

It turned out that none of the blood was his - so he definitely also gave a good account of himself. It looked as though he had attacked the cat with his back legs.

Thanks @Krystyna23040
That is one brilliant rabbit!

I made the assumption that cat litter was not in an essential item. And so thought it wouldn't be delivered for some weeks. So I didn't look. But I see they deliver promptly. So thanks.

I did manage to get cat litter this morning. So that was successful.

Thanks for pointing me towards Amazon for next time!

Ezzy says he would be more than happy to oblige......as soon as this blasted virus is out of the equation. He has previously driven to London and back in a day, taking our daughter for her grade 8 exam at the royal college of music (that's another heartwarming story!) So no sweat on that front (maybe a little sweat from hazmat though!). Have your order ready.....

@jjraak this is riveting
It went up to Blackpool and the RAF circled a glider and it obviously has instructions to follow them

And the glider followed the RAF helicopter to Southport Formby area where it must have landed there.

And the helicopter is coming back south again. I wonder what the story was there...

Looks like I've been rumbled!

I have Amazon prime and haven't had any issues with anything I've ordered (essential or otherwise).

elvis
adelle

Undecided what tomorrows is, but with so much free time, i'm finding the music i didn't really give a chance to before i am either liking or hearing other tracks then those normally played.
been an education..not sure if covid or just getting older, but i'm liking it either way.

That was what I was saying in a very polite way @HarryBeau
To describe the experience, the shoulder straps stretched to beyond the hips upon exit of the sea...
 
5.7 and I'm delighted to post that I have now.....drum roll....LOUDER AND LONGER DRUM ROLL.....CAUGHT UP ON 300 POSTS!!!

I see we have a few members struggling with health issues, including possible covid-19. I wish you a very speedy recovery.

Now for a stiff drink! Strong coffee will fit the bill ;-) too exhausted to post any more after my marathon catch up Haha.
 
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all who celebrated national bin day. At a safe distance.

A 5.8 this morning, no comment I think that meter is watching me.

Well folks, to show my support of the NHS I am going to dye my hair blue while on lock down or more likely till Mrs J gets fed up with it.
The dye arrived this morning, Mrs J read the instructions and pronounced that a skin test has to be done first, well I am covered in hair apart from one part of my anatomy therefore that is the area for the skin test , Mrs J is not impressed and I must add I am very wary.
This little tail is to be continued.
Have a great afternoon folks, stay well.

Having flown that route many times given what you're seeing I'd say the glider breached the low fly corridor (too high). The corridor is the only stretch where private pilots can fly very low, it ensures that commercial air traffic into Manchester isn't threatened by some numpty in a microlight (or glider). I'm guessing that's what you were watching as it happens quite a lot.

I've flown over your location a few times too, Hawarden was always pleasant and had to have an emergency divert to there in a bad storm.

I was assuming from those first set of screenshots that it was a misdemeanor of some sort, so thanks for that explanation....

But, I carried on watching, and several helicopters appeared to leave Shawbury and each one was followed by a glider. The information given onscreen is that it is a glider. It has happened at least 3 times since I posted my first screenshots and it is concentrated round that area. The gliders appear to match the height and speed of the helicopter. They are following the helicopter. It is in a small area they are flying round and round. I enclose the latest screenshot.

You can just about see the 'glider' following the helicopter, and you can see the tangled route it is talking. The glider is exactly matching the RAF helicopter's route.

All I can think now is that this is a training exercise.

Any thoughts @OldButBold ?

I definitely remember a knitted swimsuit malfunction when I was about the same age. I refused to wear it again.
