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

8.9 at 03.00 today. Finally came down to the 5's after breakfast.

Those excruciating pains I had a week or so ago came back during the night and pretty well crippled me for most of the day, but they are receding again now so I can get on with things a bit. I can't do much with my right hand at the moment, which is a shame because I am very much right handed, but using the keyboard is making it move at least. Best exercise I can manage at the moment.

@gennepher, your creative is beautiful and I'm looking forward to following this series.

Thank you very much @Annb for your lovely compliment...
Hugs for your pains....

Morning all. Just letting you know (in the unlikely even anyone wondered) I'm still here, thanks be to God. I'm having some medical tests to try to find just what lies beneath. There are some known knowns, if not whys. Some known well it's not that's and some if it's that then thisses but a fair few shrugged shoulders and we may never knows. Part three of tests later today but no results - MRI scan with the exotic dye. Hope they still find a brain but if not how did I just write this tripe? Apparently 2016 has been airbrushed out of history. You've all done very well in so many different ways. No offence to people of different or no religion but God bless and keep you all. RIP Michael Mosley - thoughts and prayers with your wife, family and friends.
Update: MRI cancelled as newly installed machine has broken down.

Pity about the machine breaking down @ianpspurs

I really enjoyed the shopping and bought the perfect edge to edge cardigan in M&S that will add an extra layer to some tops I have.

In Lakeland I was a bit naughty. Instead of asking where the dishwashing brushes were I said that I had a complaint to make - that I had purchased a dishwashing brush 20 years ago and it is now looking quite worn out. Luckily the assistant thought that was funny.I

Sun is out, but it keeps disappearing each time I go out in the garden.
I sat on the swing for a bit, but I was freezing. Midnight is okay on the swing he has his thick fur coat....
I need a fur coat this weather...
Two little baby sparrows from this year were hopping around my feet... and the male blackbird who feeding his brood in the front garden came to partake of the cat food for his babies.... He was hopping within inches of my feet on his way to the cat bowl. Midnight just looked at them, wasn't bothered, shut his eyes and went back to sleep again...
I came back in and I'm now sitting in bed again to get warm.

Creative - I had this idea for a short series of paintings. The idea I had in my head for this picture was totally different than what I actually did. Consequently, I do not like this picture. I'm not saying it's a bad picture. I just don't like what I did. I am always like this with the first picture of a new series. I painted it last night. It doesn't look so bad this morning.

I will have another go today and see if I can get something what might be in my head. If I could attach a USB cable to my head and download what I see in my head to the tablet/computer, it would be much easier, but you can't do that yet. I've no doubt you would be able to one day....

Time for a cup of tea and maybe a wee little nap... I am ready for one....

Have your best day....

Hope you get good news when you receive the results of your tests. Really annoying that the MRI machine broke down.
 
Good morning everyone from under what appears to be a blue tinged sky (for now at least) in the dark and dangerous north. 5.5 this a.m. and already tea has been consumed and laundry folded and squirrelled away. Mrs Miggins and I did a bit of tidying up in the garden yesterday after picking up The Girl In The Bubble from school. Weeds were picked. Planters and seedlings watered and Mrs Miggins declared that the grass would be cut on Wednesday. Then last night it rained so I am expecting a day of bright sunshine in readiness for that grass cutting proclamation to come to fruition. Birthday of one of our daughters in law today so will await patiently for any last minute plans - she is a scenes of crime officer so who knows how her day will go. Anyhow, art bit - another tree. I am having a bit of fun practicing these old Chinese methods of illustrating a tree. I hope your day goes well but if you do fall into a hole, stop digging, stay calm, don’t add angry or negative emotions to the equation - unless of course you are banging in nails and hit your thumb with the hammer. Then all words in the lexicon are allowed as you dance your jig. Koffy - it’s a new bag today - marvelous.

5.6 this morning.
Yesterday we were so lucky it rained heavily in the morning because a builder had come to repair some cracks in the wall of the hall I use for classes and he would have been using his drill but couldn't start the work because of the rain.

The cracks go right up to the ceiling and it would have been impossible to teach the class while he was drilling.

Today will be ok because the other hall at the venue isn't being used today.
