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

It's clear to see in the present immigration crisis why people are not happy with the treatment of asylum seekers.
It is not humane.

Regarding scripture and law that was for the Jew. Christians are not governed by law...well perhaps just a few!

Must admit that the penalties prescribed in Deut 22 are a bit harsh for modern liking, but the proscriptions on behaviour make sense even today for Christian, Jew or any other faith or none.

I think she / her government was the first of modern times to openly embrace anyone with money, regardless of how they attained it ...and once that cloak of respectability was slipped on, everything else makes sense .

Take & ask questions later, is now the norm...(mone, mone, mone ?
..as abba pointed out nicely

Which segways nicely into Boris the party dudes attitude. )

Anyone else noticed the desperate lack of handcarts for sale on E-bay....?

Guess we all know where they've all gone since her

The later the meet up for breakfast, the happier the day. I think that we are going to Whitby this afternoon but like all plans, as soon as you cross the start line, things become a changeable feast and stomping around anywhere with up bits and down bits requires the assistance of some serious pain relief - tramadol is the the new crampon. Enough of this nonsense

Laters greater. :cool:

Hope the remedy remedied the pain & the day was enjoyable .

She does seem the epitome of how we measure success these days in the higher ( :hilarious: :hilarious: :hilarious: ) echelons of big business /government .

No matter how disastrous one is (banking crisis , anyone ) it's always incumbent upon those who control appointments, to keep rewarding the same players with greater rewards/positions , because the ones who failed SO spectacularly, are clearly the only ones who could possibly succeed the next time round ....:rolleyes: :banghead:

And as we all know, THAT quality of excellence, doesn't come cheap.

trying to get some energy together to make a start on dishes I left last night after making and cooking some sausages - includes the gadget for filling skins which was an abject failure because it requires some strength in the arms to push the mixture through and it requires the skins not to break under the pressure, so the sausages are all sizes and shaped by hand. I've decided to call them "rustic sausages".

Great call.
Sure at any farmers market they'd be snapped up .

I often wonder how many 'classic' dishes were a mix of intention with a smattering of 'oops' in the mixing or ingredients .

Cauliflower AND cheese ..? Hey ho...a modern classic is born.

If I could suggest to add 'Chilli' to labelling & ingredients ...seems to grab my attention & eases my wallet open, whenever at such food stalls

Might work with others ;)

Wildlife cameras
Cat Midnight just watches Magpie take all of his cat biscuits. The Magpie did this all morning. So, the poor cat not only has the nighttime Foxes and Badger stealing his cat biscuits, he now has Mr Magpie in the daytime stealing his cat biscuits...(1 minute video)

Second video (1 minute)
The ginger cat was in my bungalow stealing Midnight's wet JellyMeat Whiskas bowl of food. I watched him leisurely eat it. Midnight will share his food, but he says who can or who can't share his food. Obviously the ginger cat got a shock when he left...
Obviously to make this video a minute I had to cut out Midnight's waiting time for the ginger cat to emerge...

Creative
These two among my strawberry flowers!

Time for a coffee and a nap

Have your best day...

Good morning everyone on another will it /won’t it start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Rain stopped play yesterday although I did manage to delay breakfast until after 11am. Farmers Market today so just nipped down and got a couple of things including Kimchi and some pickled wild garlic as well as a couple of tasty scotch eggs. It’s very traditional fayre here in Yorkshire as are the samosas and onion bhajis that some folk are buying. Popped into the supermarket for milk so that’s the essentials shelf in the fridge stocked up. Out late afternoon with one of Mrs Miggins’ cousins and his wife -be good to catch up. Art bit - coming along. Have a smashing day if you can, I now need yet another koffy.

That heavy superstructure looks ready to collapse without the support of the lower parts of the ruin. Impressive balancing act.

Oh don't worry there.
Just as the God Atlas holds up the world, you have Hephaestus, the God of buildings...he will see this structure right...

Enjoy your coffee, and don't forget to make an offering to Hephaestus, the God of buildings (and other things), then your building will hold up splendidly...
 
Good afternoon everyone from a sullen skied L.A. That soap opera about the dysfunctional billionaire family that was on last week seems to have been cancelled today, oh well. By the inkling of my Swipey something evil this way comes - 5.9 means either me, Swipey or both are crook in a new way. @gennepher thanks for the videos and photo. The first date for own grown strawberries in the old country was June 12th - looks like yours may beat that. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art. That structure currently looks to be secured by the same principle as the infamous oven ready deal. The final piece May be strong and stable. :) Good news on escaping that market with some cash left and traditional northern comestibles @Krystyna23040 I'd contact the temp agency and ask for that super diary secretary asap but good news on no jab afters. Hephaestus you say? - have a chune. Perfect last minute Eurovision entry for a super group called the Home Secretaries. Y'all have a good day now, ya hear?
Edited to correct spelling of Greek god. All other errors as in original.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and those that try to identify as an honest not self serving politician. Early footnote allegedly rarer than unicorn droppings.

Blood sugars this morning, a tale to tell.
Firstly 7.1, secondly 30 seconds later on the same finger 6.2 these levels are fine, but I was trying to understand why the 7.1, thankfully Mrs J reminded me, me’s and myself that dinner last night was a fresh cooked pasta one pot dish by Jamie Oliver. This explains the elevated levels.
The 0.9 difference shows the blood sugar readings can only be used as a snapshot, in my non medical opinion.

Now let’s move on to @dunelm’s tower, unsupported or otherwise it reminds me of the Tower of Art at the Unseen University 800ft tall and 8 888 steps. In my ignorance I shall assume that dunelm is a Terry Pratchett reader.

I shall abstain from commenting on politics, immigration and religion, but we are a mongrel nation and as per canines mongrels are more robust than pedigrees.
As that comedian Dave Allen used to say “ May your God go with you “ I tend to use that expression in Reading, to coin another expression when the “ God bothers “, bother me on my way out of town.
Now it is time for my afternoon nap.

Stay safe all, we heard this morning that friends who had their top up jabs 3 weeks ago have tested positive for covid, stay safe if can.

Thanks @ianpspurs
Well, that singer brings back memories.
I saw him perform live about 1968. Never forgot that burning fire on his head. Very wild.
I had a boyfriend at the time I was trying to get away from who was a little weird...
Looks like, from YouTube, that Arthur Brown was still performing a few years ago...blooming agile...

Sorry if that brought back unhappy memories. My Swipey read 4.9 after a coffee with cream and a Fattbar cookie which is much more normal. I may need to have something earlier than 12.15 which I do usually but I don't like most LC food, especially early on, so just avoid it for as long as possible. How are you getting on with Cronometer?
