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

I knew an electrician with a missing index finger on his right hand. He unwisely tested if a fan was running as a young electrician. A substantial fan it whipped it straight off no trouble. A bad mistake to make just once.

Was he a digital electrican?
Sorry, not a fan of that either, having smashed the end of my left forefinger by a dangerous hammer.
My woodwork teacher, a certain Mr Tilyard. Had only four fingers with his two thumbs.
Hence teaching theory rather than practice. Could say it dovetailed his career.
I knew a man called Dovetail.
Don't know where I'm going with this?you
 
6.7 shooping, hopping, chopping and dropping this am.
frantic Friday downtown, sorry I went into one shop. Spent too much!
And still didn't get what was top of my list.

a stack of mail, birthday cards got for #7 next week and have surprise for Mrs L.
Behave!
it is a small ornament to add to her collection, on offer and I couldn't resist.
Maybe, just maybe, I might be in her good books tonight.
Behave!

Weather is cool, cloudy, rain is definitely in the air, so much rain in the last couple of days. And more to come.

The big question to a GM, CEO today. If you can't remember or recall certain aspects of your time there. How did you ever do your job?

Don't understand why, I am feeling quite decent today!
Have your best weekend.
My bestest ever Friday good wishes to you lot.
And to add, get your minds out of the gutter!

Morning all from a sub-optimally cool L.A. which is likely to be the high point of the late May Public Holiday for weather. @dunelm thank you for sharing the art and well crafted story of the fan. I/we are likely to need central heating and several layers of thermals more than a fan. @gennepher thank you for sharing the video and amazing creative. I couldn't claim to be very interested in birds but I can recognise skill and know many - morning @lindisfel - derive huge pleasure from observing them. If they played sport I'd obviously be fully absorbed. I don't watch horse racing but the racehorses I see in Newmarket are stunningly sleek and move so elegantly. @jjraak the reference to Sky Net is just not giving but each to their own. Thank you for sharing the photo - it appears some other animal has photobombed Frankie's photo - meh :D Enjoy National leaver's day which it seems must now be marked by buying an overpriced hoodie. Is it still a day for signing shirts and "other" garments and "the enforcers" patrolling corridors, playgrounds, fields and local shops that sell eggs and flour (with walkie talkies) and guarding all fire alarms? - such fond memories. On the plus side I have been given several presents, including a fully certified Bale era signed Spurs shirt, given by groups of students

Thanks @ianpspurs

I am trying access via tablet and mobile phone but mobile does not seem have the dates on for recent occasions which make life difficult. Having a bit of a struggle but worth persevering.

This is a thread for those chatterboxes who not only enjoy letting us know their daily fasting level but also like to engage in friendly banter above and beyond the simple 'hello'. I am not known for my banter but I do enjoy hearing from the regulars about how their day is going, feeds my soul.

So to you, my DCUK friends, here is a new page where you can be as verbose as you wish and still comply with the moderators stick.

Going to link names of regulars, kind of advert for this post and if I've missed your name I apologise.

Hi Everyone,
You may find the following information useful when contributing to this thread:

- Threads in the General Chat section of the forum do not appear in the Recent Posts list, so you may want to put the thread on Watch. You can do this by scrolling to the top of the page and looking at the line where the pages are listed. To the right, you will see a Watch Thread option. Click on it, and choose your preferred option when a new post is made (email and/or forum Alerts). That way you can keep up to date when new posts are made.
also
- Every thread, including threads in General Chat, are subject to the forum Ethos and Rules. This means that clique type behaviours, language and ‘us and them’ polarisation will be moderated the same as on any other thread. In the past we have had chat threads that have degenerated into small In Crowd groups being unwelcoming to newcomers, or snarking about events and people elsewhere on the forum. Hopefully this new thread will experience none of that. One way to keep this thread a friendly and welcoming place for everyone is to remember that anyone can see anything you say, whether they are logged into the forum or not, and that all rules on language and friendly support apply here as much as anywhere else on the forum.

Regards,
Brunneria,
On behalf of the moderation team

Wish something would help my memory. Afraid I am having lapses.

Do you still follow Malcolm Guite Ian?I have come across him on net recently.

I think you are allowed to have some memory lapses with age and illness. I don't follow Malcolm Guite's blog regularly but I definitely read his Lent and Advent anthology. I use this resource quite often especially this section. Obviously not for everyone.

Its a long time since i had a young fit and active cat. Even then we were living in a town so not so much available or varied prey. There it was mostly sparrows and starlings. Don't remember any being caught.
Think I was just lucky this time and the pics were already a useable size.

Sadly the nest is now empty - with an incriminating tuft of fur identifying the culprit.

Fbg 6.9

Had to go out early to collect a parcel.
But only a third of it had been delivered.
Where's the other two thirds that I have paid for?

Another thing to sort out, and now I cannot start that job...and I don't feel like sorting that out today.
And then to add insult to injury, the Noah's Ark deluge happened just as I got out of my car back to my bungalow...
Totally drowned and for nothing since I did not get my full parcel.

I now have tummy ache and a chill....

Tired and dispirited I went to bed under an electric blanket where at half two I have only just woke up....

Videos...here is my little bluetit I was videoing yesterday.
12secs
Ah, that has had more views than I thought it would...that has cheered me up...
I might bore you next few days with more videos of my wee little bluetit.
I was sitting on the swing, videoing this wee little bluetit less than one metre in front of me. It didn't seem to mind me videoing it, and wasn't fazed by my phone...


Creative...one line sketch of a woman better protected than me against the rain...a woman with a long puffer jacket, holding what looked like a prescription, heading for the pharmacy....

I am watching the birds at the moment...they don't mind the rain...I am going to snuggle back down the bed...getting up? Not happening...I need some more snuggle warmth...

Have your best day.

Morning all on the first full day of Vox Pop overload. Has Brenda from Bristol been wheeled out yet? I dread to think what poison that mendacious Farage personage and those of his ilk will spread into the public domain. @dunelm what a kind act for Mrs Miggins' brother. Thank you for sharing the splendiferous, coniferous art. @Annb enjoy the meal. Today is drip trip day (no, not at a lectern outside No10) and the anniversary of my parents' funeral - all the fun of the fair. Steak and salad (a finely chopped strawberry or two in salad is a game changer) with a glass of red should be a pleasant evening repast. I must ask the Food Fairy to make another keto Eton Mess - we have some strawberries of our own (no, she doesn't put salad in it) Enjoy your day.

Best wishes for the drip trip.
