What a champion, holding vigil with Midnight. Smashing kaleidoscope, I have missed them.

It shouldn’t take much - I know people who have just one biscuit.

All the best with that Derek - the results are usually extremely good.

Good morning everyone on another splendidly quiet start here in the dark and dangerous north. Absolutely threw it down yesterday morning and by the time Mrs Miggins had got up, the cars had been washed and the garden watered - perhaps we need a hose pipe ban to help with leveling up although now we are supposed to have blind faith in the machinations of Friedman and Hayek. By noon though, the sun came out and so did Mrs Miggins’ gardening gloves. Afternoon walk into town ended up in a pub discussing train timetables and other mid expanding topics. The heating has decided to make an appearance, best stop that in it’s tracks before it gets too familiar. Need to experiment with this new wood burner about damping down for the night with some coal briquettes. Art bit - panic ye not @jjraak - it now just needs a bit of colour added (look away now). Koffy - best make some koffy.

The Ghost Cat Returns
I saw Ghost Cat in daylight yesterday morning. He/she came to my kitchen door as I was putting food out for my stray cat Ammy (short for Amethyst). Ghost Cat is a ginger type cat, very soft fur, but more a pale peach colour. virtually no markings. Ghost Cat tried a bite of Ammy's breakfast, but it seemed more interested in me as a person, although it did not allow me to touch it.
In the night Ghost Cat seemed more interested in my raspberry bush, sniffing it...
Creative today is a drawing of one of the ghostly things I appeared to see when I sat on the swing with Midnight in the early hours. It looked like a slender elongated unicorn's head and neck, but no horn. It did have big hair, and I couldn't work out what was there to give that effect/illusion. So I looked at it in daylight, and the face and neck are two large comfrey leaves, but nothing to suggest the big hair.
So, I sat with Midnight in the dark at bed time last night, and the same effect/illusion was still there...the comfrey leaves created the head and neck of the unicorn, and I presume the shadows created the big hair.
I call it a unicorn because J made me a pottery bust of a white unicorn a couple of decades ago. I put it in the garden. Then one hard winter, the horn shattered. A few years later after another hard winter, I got up one morning to see white scattered fragments of pottery.
This ghostly unicorn will change as the comfrey leaves grow...

5.9 this morning. As my knee is so much better we are off for a very gentle walk at Sheringham Park. We will keep to the main tarmac path as my knee won't do well on the smaller paths deep into the woodland.
Mr K took a little persuading that it is sensible to go out today but I think (hope) it will be OK if we do a very gentle amble.

Hello everyone from a beautifully clear, bright but chilly edge of The Brecks and the known to and loved by me world. Some virtual property hunting is taking place. Bungalows with solar panels, wood/multifuel burners and Fenland underfoot are a very appealing proposition. Talking of which, so is lamb shoulder studded with rosemary, garlic and anchovies. JKP had her best night's sleep for ages so good news there. @dunelm thank you for the gradual reveal of another wonderful piece of art. @gennepher a simply majestic unicorn - bravo. @Krystyna23040 take care on that walk and if Mr K says this is far enough break the habit of a lifetime and listen. 
@dogslife covid influenced fbg is no guide to your real fbg so rest up and perhaps forget testing just now. Have a three degrees day everyone.

BREAKING NEWS:
”Wives being right, is totally different to Blokes being Blokes."
Claims top fitness instructor
Could this be true ?
We leave you with the wise words of one amused onlooker at the scene, who asked to remain anonymous ...
"No, it's the same thing, we're just wise enough to nod & say nothing,"
He winked, before returning to eating his sausage roll....
Now the weather, with Lyndsey....

cracking little track.
Reminded what a distinctive note that era of music had .
Fully agree on not testing , at least until the covid fully gone.
One battle at a time, and muster all our strength on one goal.

Aww....I'd say @ianpspurs is right.Good morning all. fbs 17.3 at 7am.
(Test repeated following bathroom visit/ hand wash, same finger =15.3. )
Best wishes to you all.
Higher numbers expected with any illness probably more likely so with covid
(Read some getting it seem to go on to being DX'd as T2D..wonder if it messes with our BG regulatory system )
Either way, the testing must be more stressful when we can't really control the numbers no matter what we do .
I am minded to say, it's not a rule You have to test before posting.
I for one, would be happy to hear how you are doing without the testing numbers part.
Sometimes it's just nice to post our thoughts or worries without upsetting those 'physically' nearby.
& It'd be good to keep track, at least until you give us the happy news you are over it .
Best wishes to you & Mr D

Thank you so much @jjraak for your kind words--much appreciated. My blood sugars have been raised for some time, hence the increased medication with the aim of repeating my HbA1c after 3 months but Covid will have scuppered that. So yet more delay in sorting me out.There is no point in worrying about it anymore as I'm doing all I can. Sometimes things are just beyond our control. I feel sure you must go through phases like that as most people do at times. As you say it helps knowing people on here have empathy and that we all wish the best for each other.
