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

[BRSBRI]

Our Labradors Archie and Poppy gave Arthur a welcome woof.

He's delighted. Has just stuck his bum and tail in the middle of a video call before bringing me Sally, his toy with bells on.

The joys.

Good morning one and all on this bright sunny day. My fbs at 8.30 am was another 9.3! Off soon for my first Covid vaccination. Received my NHS letter on Saturday afternoon and booked my appointment on line straight away. On Monday I received an invitation text from my GP practice to book my vaccination. I would have preferred to go to my GP but had already booked today's appointment so will stick with that. Mr D had his at the same centre at the week-end and was impressed so should be OK. It will also make it easier for someone else who can't travel to one of the vaccination centres to have theirs at the local GP's. Enjoy the sunshine folks and have a good day.

5.6 for me today

Hi,
It all will catch up with me tomorrow when I get my bloods taken for the diabetic tests.
I have lost some height now at 1.93 and put some weight on so BMI just under 26 now, but I am sure my family feel better I am not so scraggy.
Bp not too bad for my condition and I recorded several readings per day for last week.
All that's needed now is a urine sample first thing tomorrow.

I am supposed to be telling them how I shall manage my diabetes!
D.

Really good news that the antibodies lasted nearly 10 months and also that you will be shortly getting the Covid vaccine. You did really well to recover from Covid 19 so quickly and without major issues even though you are immune compromised.

Thank you I did the test to to see if I still had antibodies for my own satisfaction. I think it can the luck of the draw as to how much of the infection you get and I considered my self fortunate

So pleased that Popeye has improved and is back to his normal self.

Thanks @Krystyna23040

Both versions are stunning @gennepher .

Thank you very much @Krystyna23040

5.2 this morning. Did really well yesterday and have got everything sorted for the bank reconciliation for January and have started sorting it for February.

For such a small limited company it is surprising we have so much paperwork to do. If course it is well worth doing if we were ever investigated by HMRC. A good friend of ours didn't have the necessary audit trails and was fined £10K . She was absolutely 100% honest but couldn't prove it - which was really sad.

That was sad for your friend @Krystan020601
Paperwork trail is always the key.

Creative imaginative compositions from yourself and fellow artist. Now let me see which artist do I think won the day....hmmm?

I know you are going to say Popeye's version @Muddy Cyclist

I agree that it can be the luck of the draw. It might be that you have a strong immune system - which is really good news.

It was so sad for my friend. She is so honest and no way was she defrauding HMRC..

It was a huge wake up call for me because I realised that I did not have a good enough paper trail system so my sister helped me go back over 6 years and now we have a superb water tight system. It is time consuming though.

Good morning everyone from a lovely quiet start to bin day in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of savoury low carb pancakes with bacon came in at a flat 5.0 this am

Had my letter regarding vaccine appointment but the nearest mass vaccine centre is in another county - might just wait for my GP to contact me. Will see. One cormorant back in the park yesterday, much to the annoyance the herons - you can’t really tell but I think that they hunch further over in concentration, whispering,”ever so humble Mr Copperfield”.

@Muddy Cyclist - great stormy winter days sky - I want to crunch over to that stand of trees to see what’s beyond.
@geefull - thank you for your kind words - nice pool shot - will it make a painting? Another very tranquil work from you - wonderful colours in those mountains and the greenery beautifully reflected in the water.
@gennepher - thank you for your kind words - apple tree by dawn and by dusk - artists collaborating - both displayed for the vernissage

Art today - yellow paper with more yellow on a backwash - I tore the paper putting it on but it dried OK. Wishing you all a wonderful Wednesday. Koffy time.

About your vaccine appointment in another county @dunelm , might it also depend on whether you would like the Oxford or the Pfizer jab, depending what they offer. Although you don't actually get offered a choice, in my case the local health centre only offers the Oxford vaccine, whereas the Rainbow Hospital only offers the Pfizer vaccine. And so when I got a last minute text the night before offering the vaccine, at the Rainbow Hospital, early the next morning, I went like a shot because I knew I would prefer the Pfizer jab.

Thank you for the joint collaboration painting compliment

I like the perspective of your mountainside painting, and all its detail...

This morning a 5.5 fasting figure.

Have been down to walk around Pulteney Bridge with Arthur the hyperactive poodle then meander back up the hill home here in Bath.

Breakfast will be poached eggs, spinach and grilled bacon before a full day on conference calls with my team spread across interesting locales including Mumbai and Tel Aviv. At least I don't have to travel...

Hello @BRSBRI
Welcome to this thread!

7.35am FBG 5.8.
MrSlim received several boxes of chocolates for his birthday. Need I say more?
He is feeling and looking much better, but still tires easily.
Keep/get well and stay safe

That's good @SlimLizzy MrSlim feeling improved a lot.

It is extremely time consuming and frustrating @Krystyna23040
But a paper trail, and not just depending on online stuff alone, has saved my bacon quite a few times.

Thank you @gennepher.
My letter states that I can either book online and go to a mass vaccine centre or await a call from my GP. It’s a standard letter. I am going to wait for a text from my GP surgery.

Thank you for wanting to trample across my watercolour landscape. Get them boots on.

Like your landscape the yellow paper and wash are very effective I need to trudge up that Mountain and explore those peaks.
