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

Morening all, again lack of planning on me and me’s part has / is resulting in a rush here in Tilehurst Towers.
This morning blood sugars were 7.1.
Sorry folks but thing to do, places to go and more importantly people to exasperate :) , if you’re going to grow old, grow old disgracefully, :):)
Stay safe all
 
5.2 this morning. Another busy day ahead. It does feel like spring is on the way as it is noticeably warmer.

I like their Columbian Nespresso compatible coffee pods. They have gone up by almost 25 percent recently but still are half the price of Nespresso ones.

JKP says their pods are incompatible with our machine(s) I like the bean to cup better and surely that must be a more environmentally friendly system? The grounds can be used on the garden. Compressed coffee grounds are fantastic on multi-fuel burners. We don't have a stove here - another issue with a modern, mass produced house and COVID (price of steel for external flue.) I'm not sure what the payback period would be and I think we both want to move as soon as possible.

@alf_Josiah Thank you thank you thank you, hate not being able to work things out, I only started to learn about computers in my 60s picked things up has I went along do everything on them now, but since Covid and this year the amount of extra information and online form filling for holidays abroad are doing my head in. It was enough with booking sending in passport information etc, now it’s downloading to your phone tickets, country your travelling to locator form vaccinations status. Even though UK has done away with most everything the EU hasn’t we have had to move our holiday has our vaccinations would not have been valid we would have been out of the 270day rule the EU has imposed . Consequently more lost money and extra money to rebook another date, moaning over the sunshine will compensate with my aching joints that ease with the warmth, but we do travel around a lot on holidays we get on trains and buses, up-to the mountain villages into cities, we don’t spend our holidays around a pool all day or on the beach we love to see how local people get around and see more than the resort we are staying in . We have been very fortunate to have done lots of travelling over the 43years my husband and I have been together but we always worked hard to be able to do these things we love. We are looking to return again to some of the countries we have loved more than others to see how they have changed over the years, our very first holiday was to Yugoslavia, Opatija beautiful country friendly people but armed police on the streets and airport was a military base guards with machine guns very alien to us helicopters landing no where for people to relax no lounges, hole in wall of an hanger where your luggage was passed through. Department store in capital had farming machinery on one level electrical dept few clothes , few seats on buses just leather straps to hold onto, no queuing everyone just lunged forward we brits had no chance polite queues no chance, but my husband had a plan on our return journey we were first a the bus stand has soon has bus doors opened he made a grab for both handles and just said Kath get on, I went under his arms and got two seats for the journey back. We laugh about it even now the buses are unlike any we’ve seen I called them bendy buses they were two buses joined together by a flexible heavy rubber tube like thing, we have them on some of our trams and trains now but not 43 years ago.
Wonderful places all different in their own ways, oh we have had some funny experiences the boat trip captain who thought I was on my own and invited me to have lunch with him, I went too it would have been impolite to refuse I could see everyone whilst I had an enjoyable lunch. The captain on the other hand was not too amused on learning my husband was only feet away
but I had a laugh and a free lunch on the Captain, not been back to Yugoslavia since though.:happy::happy::happy: K

Yes, I do agree that been to cup is more environmentally friendly. I really should change my machine but do love my Nespresso.
