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

[alf_Josiah]

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those who fancy having a go on a zip wire.

Blood sugars this morning were 5.9 .

All this talk of time has reminded me that time is not a constant and is also an artificial construct, make of that what you will, me, me’s and myself won’t, here in Tilehurst Towers their is a dependency on the 10:30 constant, a cup of tea, the tea is the constant the time the variable.
Isn’t life wonderfully confusing and wonderful in all it’s constructs.
Now it’s time, that word again to practice barking at the postman and causing chaos elsewhere.
Stay safe all.

You will be be telling me next Alf, when you go anywhere you do not check the time before you go, but measure the gravitational flux first.

I agree with you about life, how could anyone be bored?

Good morning everyone on a vibrantly windy start here in the dark and dangerous north, best get out the contrabassoon. 5.4 this am. It rained nearly all day yesterday so I nearly missed National Poetry Day and only just got to recite Evidently Chicken Town by Dr John Cooper Clarke before the hour of the pumpkin. I did though celebrate the premier of the film Dr No in 1962 while listening to Love Me Do by the Fab Four. If an annual event comes up and you don’t read the news does the event actually exist? Mrs Miggins will be home later today if she can sneak past Checkpoint Scots Gap with her fake Nicola Sturgeon family campervan supporters hat. Art bit, some colour added in an homage to The Crankies wearing red Christmas jumpers - they are in there somewhere. Hope your day goes swimmingly, I shall have some koffy.

Makes me wonder if anything actually happens, or even exists outside of my little world. Do you guys all exist or are you just in my imagination? I couldn't see that spider when I went to bed last night, so I just assumed it didn't exist in my reality. But how real is my reality? The Crankies do exist though.

6.4 this morning. Very pleased with that number.

We are so lucky that we have internet as the cabinet (that the Openreach engineers say was hit by a lorry last Thursday) is only just being repaired. There are some really unhappy people in our village who have been without internet since last Thursday.

Lovely acorns

Thanks @dunelm

A brilliant art bit @dunelm

It is Archie's 17th Birthday today, which is exceptionally old for a chocolate labrador.
He had a lovely walk in the park, met some doggy friends and had some special treats.

Morning all from a very sunny and pleasantly mild L.A. - no socks October is here baby Happy birthday Archie. @Annb have you suddenly become @alf_Josiah? Very worrying

@dunelm not just creative with the art today - thanks for both. @gennepher wonderfully observed photo, thank you. @Krystyna23040 back in Joan Hickson's reign as Miss Marple no one had broadband. Probably why there were proportionally so many murders. We found our proper food processor yesterday so JKP made keto bagels and cinnamon doughnuts. Both worked well - appearance and texture spot on which is almost unique for keto recipes - but the recipe for doughnuts needs a drastic reduction of sweetener. Bagels with onion powder are a thing of beauty. Y'all have a good day now however many layers of nonsense are needed.

Back up to 7.3 this morning.

Must be all these high levels of BG having an effect on my brain. Or maybe all the pain killers. Opiates aren't really all that good for you (well, me anyway). Done all I had to do and now waiting for my cleaner to come - won't be this morning now.

The website won't let me upload my reply - it does that a lot.

Edit: I took out a lot of your reply Ian, and it let me upload it. Is that my Broadband causing it, I wonder.

Hug for the need of painkillers. The L.A. in reduced font size often causes the forum to spit out its dummy at my posts. I think someone is no platforming ersatz subscript - too woke for them. Cancel culture at its worst.

Yes, good to see you dipping in @jjraak and hope that you are well

 

[jjraak]

Yes, good to see you dipping in @jjraak and hope that you are well

Cheers @dunelm
& you too @lindisfel .

Still dip in to keep an eye on you all.

All good here.
Mind a little more settled, thank you.

As it's a drug we all know, wondered if this study got mentioned in earlier posts ?

Might be one to note if anyone suffers a covid infection.
