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

[jjraak]

Yesterday after wasp sting spray and multiple ice packs I was wondering why hornets have such a fearsome reputation. Today the swelling and redness is covering the base of my thumb and is heading to the inner elbow. It's extremely uncomfortable. Google tells me the swelling continues to increase for forty eight hours and can take seven to ten days to go down. Ok it's time to take antihistamine.

Very much OUCH.

Do hope pain & swelling reduce asap, @SlimLizzy

Best wishes for a speedy recovery

Morning all as we adjust to the new look. I'm ok with the colours and font size but miss the agree and hug ratings. Summer is hanging on here so we had a lovely time at Thetford Forest High Lodge with the Winchester Gang yesterday. They are off home today, teacher to meet before school starts Wednesday, so the house will seem somewhat different. Just time for me to catch up on some sport and for us to prepare for Sunday lunch with MIL. Good news on the physio and impending residential @dunelm. That beginning promises to end with perhaps my all time favourite piece of your wonderful art. No pressure. Do take good care of yourselves there's an Omnishambles coming. Must go, I have to parade up and down the main drag with me sandwich board.

Thank you @ianpspurs and we are all digging in for the Omnishambles already although the online spelling bee doesn’t seem to recognise such a big word. I hope that this format is only temporary - looks like it’s made on Wordpress - should I let them know how much my Wordpress tutorials are?

Apologies, I’m no longer a mod/‘behind the curtain’ so I know as much (little) as you. Not enjoying the change so far. I guess some of it is just familiarity, but there are definite issues with contrast, visibility and finding things. I’ll tag @Administrator for you.

Editing to say that it does seem that some features work better / worse according to the ‘scheme’ you’re using. I just tried adjusting font size in ‘default’ and it didn’t change. It does change using UI.X. I’m also on an iPad.

Thank you @Goonergal - Liking the ‘Retired Moderator’ - could it not have said, ‘Consultant’? Just been fiddling about with the font size and it does, if you look through a micrometer, seem to change but would not have said so without specialist tools.

Oh we need an “ooch ouch” button here - nasty things and you would not think so if you have ever rode their namesake, a Vespa! The do keep insects and spiders under control and pollinate things so not all bad - just don’t get in their way.

 

[gennepher]

That is worrying .

Though I have come across similar on sites I use and felt safe on

Thinks it's something to do with how the web works and certain authorises take longer to process changes ?


Wonder if the admins had other reports of such ?

Good morning everyone from a lovely quiet start here in the dark and dangerous north. The ninky nonks and Little MIss Pamplemouse have now been collected by parents and whisked away. I was lovely to have them here for the week but we are now exhausted. Fun and games takes it out of you. We just now need to fill in the hole where the ninky nonks decided to have a funeral and bury a doll - all dressed in her best clothes of course! A birthday celebration to attend this afternoon, nothing formal so no tied shoe laces required. Art bit - some more definition but this is not going the way I wanted. Oh well. Have a smashing Sunday if that’s the day you have chosen. I shall make koffy and contemplate a walk into town.

5.9 this morning. Off to Oxburgh hall this morning so sausage roll for Mr K, doggy ice cream for the dogs and NT coffee for me.

Greetings to everyone from East Omnishamblia where it is not yet as warm as I like but things should improve. Two birthdays in the family today: a Hampshire based granddaughter and very local DIL No parties to attend, all done last week, just Sunday lunch with MIL. Here's a collection of images I see each morning to remind me the world isn’t all bad. I like the hymn a great deal but by all means turn the sound off and just enjoy the sights. Enjoy Oxburgh Hall @Krystyna23040. Sorry you don’t like the way that latest piece of art is progressing @dunelm as I am feeling much love for said work and indeed the whole genre. Missing your creatives and wildlife tales @gennepher. Chicken for lunch here today. "A chicken in every pot and two cars in every garage." History, in the guise of vacuous political boasts, seems to be eerily repeating itself. Let’s just pray Karl’s observation on how that ends doesn’t get top Marx. That movie didn't end at all well. Y’all enjoy whatever it is you enjoy while it lasts.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and a special mention for @ianpspurs for a very deep and personal insightful posting, morning has broken! Well fix it dear Lisa, fix it.
Bloods this morning were 5.8, I shall just say thank you and move on.

This site, change is never welcome, I personally would like more choice of the like etc buttons, but being technologically illiterate I shall wait and see if some of the functions have been simplified. The jury is out.
I am now running late on today’s allotted tasks so I shall wish you all well and hope you stay safe.

Thanks alf but my insights are best ignored. My home village is missing it's idiot and Breckland is still vetting my application.

I keep looking in to try and get used to the new layout etc etc. I react badly to change, especially when it aggravates my eyes. And I am still not finding this easy to read. Neither are a lot of you I know. I'll post a picture from last night in a minute...

I haven't been taking my fbg, it's only when I come on here I do it...

The still from the 30 second video, on the whereabouts of Midnight (cat), before the fox goes under the swing for some spilt cat biscuits (when I took the bowl away for the night...).

My daughter from Oz, this morning, pointed out the fox looked too thin. And sent me a link of possible foods to feed it tonight. All I had in fresh meat was 100 grams of beef mince, it was to have been my lunch. I had eggs instead.

I have noticed in previous nights the same fox taking broken pieces of fatballs (fallen from the bird feeders) in his/her mouth and carefully carrying them out of the garden and then coming back. It's den cannot be too far.

Anyway I have to lock up now, getting dark.

Sorry it's still hurting to use forum, @gennepher

Bless you for the caring act of the food


But remember to look after yourself first, or You can't look after the flock...and then where would they be ?


Stay safe & lovely

I agree with @jjraak that it is very caring of you to give the fox your food but it is so important that you look after yourself first .

As has been said, very commendable feeding the fox but who cares for the carer?

Thank you, for your thoughts.
Don't think that is going to be every night it gets this best food.
I was also thinking if it had young foxes to care for, because it does take stuff out of the garden.
It is way too thin.
I just had to do this for it tonight.
And it is hovering around when I lock up. The trail cams tell me that.
For tomorrow I have some ideas (economical ones) that would feed it cheaply and well.
Thank you for caring x

Thanks for the Morning Has Broken images. We would not be voting for Hoover nowadays, probably Mr Dyson. Hold on tight.

Good morning everyone from a mainly damp start here in the dark and dangerous north. Red sky last night but the jury is out for now. Wonderful for thinking of your visitors @gennepher - a real host but as has been said, who cares for the carer. SIL birthday yesterday and the weather did her proud but it’s a staying in and wait day at present - things being delivered - a big box to house briquettes for the fire, some fancy push openers and a new power band from the planet Lithium. Bliss this morning, a brand new pack of koffy - ah, the aroma.
Have we all bought in to the new game that is all the rage; cheapest way to make a mug of tea? No special kit needed, just a pan with a lid, a kettle (new or otherwise) and a microwave. Your fuel bills will go nuts as you play but hey. I bet Chris Whitty and Van Tam are are refusing to play. As Chris famously said, “we don’t know much yet but what we do know is all bad.” Thanks Chris.
I am torn between ignoring news of Harry The Thick and Meghan The Mardy deigning to fly commercial or the nail biting non event of announcing either Dumb or Dumber at around noon. Nothing to be done so I will slurp koffy. Art bit - not as finished as I would have liked but never mind. Onwards and upwards. Hope you all have a pleasing day.

6.7 this morning. Unusually high so did a Covid test just in case but it was negative.

Had a really lovely walk around the parkland and woods at Oxburgh Hall. Sausage roll for Mr K, doggy ice cream for the dogs and a salted caramel ice cream for me. wonder if that was the culprit?

We all enjoyed sitting outside in the sunshine enjoying our special treats. Especially as the Pantry now has new comfortable chairs.
