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

What a ghastly dream, @Lamont D .

The very idea of the 'comforter' sliding insidiously into your psyche.
...just gives me the shivers reading it.

Hope tonight is a more rested sleep

Slept like a log!
But only after getting relaxed, and after the arrows had finished.
I'm still a bit out of sync.
My thoughts should be elsewhere, but it is haunting me somewhat.

No FBG this Tuesday.

A lot of rain overnight, not that I knew about it, garden awash.
And it's cloudy and chilly.

#8 popped in to run amok for half an hour, whilst dad borrowed various tools and other stuff, which I will probably not see again.
Still no paint done, just can't be bothered.

Mrs L is having an afternoon nap. Been looking for a narrow indoor walker for her, the one that council gave us, is too wide, ideal outside, but chipping the paintwork in the hall etc. She was a good driver, but lethal with the present model.
Have your best day.

I bought one from Amazon a few months ago. It had the option of 4 legs or wheels on the front legs, and it can be folded to store away, or put in a car. I was having problems with the rollator that I had, which really was only for use outdoors and was too awkward getting through doors. This is the one I bought, but Amazon has a slimmer one as well. Costing between £40 and £50.

@gennepher thank you for sharing the amazing kaleidoscope although on first site I was slightly perturbed by what I saw as the demonic little faces around the central circle. I think I may have had too much Dante. I hope the day becomes more bearable in that nightmare dwelling of yours.

Thanks @ianpspurs
I see demonic faces in every one of these Laboscope kaleidoscopes....
 
What's all this about immutable scientific facts? Apparently they change with the weather

Full piece here. Obviously didn't affect the drinkers of other hot beverages or none. Question is what other cast iron facts aren't facts all the time and do carbs and that floozy Elsie Keto behave differently at different air pressure levels/different temperatures/full moon/Belial's birthday? Just asking for a curious friend you understand :) Interesting take on alternative truths - maybe The Donald truly is a stable genius. COVFEFE

Defo have a look, have seen something similar as a tri-wheeler.
Thanks a lot, the firm is new to me, not seen looking through amazon.
So far.

I have actually heard of this!
but you probably have as well, but not described this way.
I think @lindisfel would know more of the science.
machinery works better at its optimal temperature. For example.

If he was a genius, he would have changed his name by deed poll.

On the subject of that man I found this rather good on so many levels - probably because it has a subtle but scathing put down of TNENFC. She's a clever lady but one expects that of those from a certain station in life. In great contrast to the parvenues mouthing off on College Green trying to topple May and wanting that mendacious shyster they landed us with.

Mine looks like this @Lamont D

Mine has a seat ( very important for me).
Mine has that big triangular pocket.
Mine is 30 odd years old....and the brakes are a bit dodgy now....
 
Whilst we eding in my back garden, there was a noise from a lot of birds , gulls squabbling no doubt.
so I went out onto the footie pitches.
there was two games being played.
white headed gulls 'city's v blackbirds 'utd'
black headed gulls 'rover's v pigeon 'town'.

The wingers were very good.
some of the skills left them web footed.
no doubt, they were at their beak of fitness.
The tactics were flighty.

And both games ended up going to penns.

Good morning chums/friends/pals/posse/Homies/Brethren and Sisters - whatever, y'all know what I'm trying to convey. Dull start here in L.A. but as @dunelm put it I/we are this side of the turf. I'd prefer to say I/we are still in the fight/game but this is a friendly forum not a dialectical workshop. Talking of @dunelm, thank you for sharing the art and also the details of that wonderful day yesterday with those amazing photos. Wrong season but your day and my evening of reading and Ted Lasso watching, after some careful but heartfelt hugs from my grandson and granddaughter, were epiphanies: the dog(s) that didn't bark. No known fbg here and a deep sense that Elsie Keto in the purists form just isn't right for me atm - nothing scientific just a deep suspicion. Meanwhile, our lounge? ceiling is now white, coving and artex are no more and today the walls will be redecorated. Not all white as I went along with JKP's wish to have colour since who knows how long I'll be turf side up? The decore of a room really isn't important in the big picture but the principle/thought/symbolism is, imho. It is all about the optics. Enjoy Tuesday but be honest about your situation. For all the big ideas most of us are frequently reduced to this or BOHICA (that dog again, gets everywhere) - (use Wiktionary if needed.) Peace be with you all.

Fbg 6.6

Still struggling with the new editing software.
It might look okay to you, but I am very aware how many good clips I lost in the editing....
Wildlife nighttime videos
Very active Badgers
56secs

Creative...my comfrey in a Laboscope Kaleidoscope, in the rain.
It has been raining since yesterday, but hasn't reduced the temperature. In my garden which is currently 19.1C outside...it's 22C inside in my bedroom, and 24C inside in the rooms at the front of my bungalow. That attic definitely holds some heat...

I will throw all doors and windows open when I get back...but the planes going over/close to mine to the Southport Air Show on Sunday (a Spitfire, and a WW2 Swordfish which was closely attended by a helicopter) often use Hawarden Airport as a base. I often see bi-planes go over mine as they come into land or take off from Hawarden. Last year the Red Arrows used this airport as a base and I saw them flying from my garden. So, I am reminded of the diner there which I haven't been to since before Covid (my arthritis group used to meet there, but they disbanded during lockdowns).

You do have to go up to the security gate in person, sign and give your car number (without looking back at it!!!), although with the disabled badge they wave me through...

Bye...

Have a great adventure today in the rain...

Smashing kaleidoscope of the wonderfully versatile old knitbone. Mum used to chuck some into the water butts to water the garden. The goats ate it as medicine. We ate leaves, flowers and even steamed the stalks and made some kind of snack blocks from the roots, pummeled up, mixed with dried fruit and nuts and left to dry - I think that’s what it was.

A very useful plant!
The old ways all lost now...

Makes sense @ianpspurs - water boils at differing temperatures depending upon altitude and air pressure. It makes your cuppa taste weird. Time of course is not constant as many believe and who knows what that 95% of stuff is that scientists can detect but simply cannot see out there in the universe - I think it’s either cheese fermenting in the firmament or escaped political promises and wind baggery.

I tried one like that when I first had a rollator, but found it quite unstable - maybe the way I lean but I exchanged it for a 4 wheel model which is stable but not as manoevrable. Not really useful in the house but fine outside. It has a seat on it, which is helpful at times. Inside the house I find the walking frame much more useful.

in that case, the flat earth society, the religion that believes that the Earth is only 4000 years old, the naysayers and the Daily fail, express and torygraph would have you believe that red is green and the universe is carried by a tortoise.
Of course time is relative, the perception of time passing slow, watched kettle boil, passing fast, the years fly by, can't believe it's August already, Its july! But you get it.
I can remember something from Neil Armstrong, after the moon landing being younger(?) than he should be!!!
Something like that.
And I do like a time travelling story. But not Dr. Who!!!
