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

Goodnight everyone.

Thanks for thoughts from you guys.

Great news Alf about your results.
Brilliant paintings and music too.

Here's to Mister Sandman saying hello

Have a super evening!

The crinkled effect works so well in the photograph of your art work, adding a sculptured three dimension feel to the landscape. DONT IRON!

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - I prefer not to iron and to let the picture stand as it is ( I know that I was taught to iron when I was in the army but nowadays I am not allowed near an iron unless extremely closely supervised by the suspicious).

Another day gone.

A senior team member from work fighting in an ICU near San Francisco thanks to the dreaded Covid; another new car to be sourced following the wreckage of Mrs BRS' Fiat being found abandoned; one daughter getting married in 2022 and the other through most of her final exams in her 5th year at Glasgow Uni Medical School; most of the prep for a crunch meeting when I am allowed out of here done with $xxx,xxx,xxx at stake for 2021 and 2022; I spilled most of a bottle of wine with dinner down a shirt and trousers and managed to nearly slice my backside into bamboo shoot lookalikes with that toilet and all it's weird and wonderful buttons.

It has been A day. Am I allowed a large nightcap? View attachment 48121

Isn’t there a “wine recovery” button somewhere?

Its like the one about the Scotsman who fell down with a bottle of whiskey in his pocket and felt liquid running down his leg, and shouted, "Ach, I hope it's blood!"

The joys of exercise.:)

I have stopped taking mine after Muddy Cycle rides as I always expect lower, so I choose to avoid the disappointment.

Yes I can agree with that, not sure why I test afterwards to be honest as I am on such a high mentally after exercise, and I always expect it to be lower. Think I will just go with the mental high and be happy with that :)
 
So ... I have really stuck at around 7 all day regardless of what I have/have not eaten (even after 3 Thorntons chocolates (wee test for me) which were good btw - I can be naughty! ) so BS still not right?

I never got that job so looks like I will be a lady of leisure for a bit longer ... at least I got the experience of the interview and skype/teams which she changed it to half an hour before my interview - glad to see the back of her she was dis-organised chaos.

What a rollercoaster you are having at the moment @BRSBRI - hugs for commiserations and congratulations - just what you need when you are on the other side of the world from your family and friends ... typical these things are sent to try us ...

I would requisition a plastic apron, it is obviously very unbalancing being on the other side of the Earth!
 
BRSBRI said:
Thanks D. Just got a WhatsApp saying it's been found, badly damaged and likely a write-off...

Nothing of note in the car at all, so that was a good thing.

Sigh. Insurance will sort I'm sure quickly.

So sorry that MrsBRS's car is likely a write off. So sad that a person stole it and trashed it knowing that it belonged to someone who worked for the NHS.

Morening again all.

Many thanks for all best wishes.

Liver blood tests all fine, no concerns all all, a routine liver ultrasound scan planned, this is routine, it appears that with blood tests they do not need to perform a liver biopsy which involves 6 hours flat on your back and a large supply of urine bottles :) . More blood tests, again nothing out of the ordinary.
Later on today I shall try and catch up on the posts, and hug about the stolen Fiat.
Take care all.

Thank you very much @Muddy Cyclist
Oh yes magic in my back garden.
Dragons? I have two red dragons in my back garden....
I think they've gone to sleep for the night. I wouldn't like to disturb them now...I think they are taking care of a blue dragon's egg at the moment. But I will see what I can do for morning.

Of course you have red dragons in your garden - you are Welsh. Although why the red dragons would be guarding a blue dragons egg, I don't know. Perhaps dragons are of a kindlier nature than suspected.

Tonight's dinner - I asked for local and no rice. Soup looks like soup. So all good for the westerner eye and digestion.

The mains - egg replaces rice and I have an extra treat of duck feet to entertain me... Daffy or Donald? View attachment 48118

Did you eat the duck feet?
