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

Good morning from L.A. on one of the traditional quarter days - time to hire strong fit labourers. Doris has a song for today - here's the lyrics - she's very quiet about blackberries though. No fbg and no goose here ( 22 billion black hole incoming?) "Back Home" the main streets of the nearest market town (imho the prettiest in Cambs, Ely is a City) were closed for three days for a Michaelmas Fair each year. In the here and now yesterday was dry and bright here and I rested my hip while JKP, #1 son, partner and grandchildren exercised our dogs, their dogs and his MIL's dog. I sat and drank coffee, ate a keto blueberry muffin, took some Naproxen and watched football on my phone. Today #3 son, his partner, the Little Guy © and his grown up sister (RMP, grownup in her own, 5 year old, words) will be here for Sunday lunch. For me yesterday's time in the dog park and the meal today are the apex of what life has to offer now this side of the world to come. On their own they aren't "enough" (of course they're not) but in the context of Advent Hope they become heaven in the ordinary - (obviously a Spurs win would help seal the deal). I hope you all, whatever your belief, non belief or uncertainty, enjoy your own moments or whole days of pleasure and they are enough for you.

Thank you for sharing your artwork @dunelm. It looks as though you had fun with those pigment powders.

I hope it proved to be a good drying day in your neck of the woods. Not so here.

Thank you @LivingLightly - washing on the line is on go slow mode due to lack of temperature in the warm zone.
 
Really pleased with a 5.2 this morning.
We are off to Centre Paws Wymondham. Not been there before - so looking forward to visiting somewhere new.

There is a big field where Poppy can run off the lead, a river walk and the very important cafe.
 
Good morning everyone from a decidedly chilly start here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.2 this a.m. Washing on the line yesterday took all day to dry despite the efforts of a weak, lacklustre sun and was eventually whipped inside safe and sound just 20 minutes before the advent of drizzle which acted as a good enough excuse not to get a cut of grass into the day. An Arran sweater that my mum knitted for dad about 30 years ago was made good use of early evening but by 6pm Mrs Miggins had had enough and lit the wood burner. Eldest grandchild’s 20th yesterday. A celebratory dinner will be had today at a nearby eatery. Art bit, more pigment powders. Hope any worries and fears are small ones. I best make some koffy and then prepare some Tom Yum soup for our lunch.

Snap on the 5.2. Enjoy the walk - and of course the very important cafe.

Blimey @ianpspurs who wrote those lyrics, creepy...
I think you are doing a lot of ruminating...
It doesn't do anyone any good...
It doesn't do me any good...

Hug for thinking of me. You have a need to create each day I have a need to "ruminate" I just can't do it whilst exercising for hours on end anymore but 50% is a pass in most things - not landing planes though. You have a good day and create - leave the ruminating to me :playful:
 
Fbg 6.8

Woke up late for me today...

There was sun at dawn, but it is now cold, icy with a promise of rain.

Fed the strays.

Managed a kaleidoscope pic with Laboscope in my garden (Kaleider Kaleidoscopes are lovely, but there are a lot of moving pictures within it as it scrolls through a pile of stuff - too much for my sensitive eyes at the mo)...

IMG_0594.jpeg

Realised the birdies only have one fatball left, but I am sure it will last while I drink my coffee...although the fighting between them says otherwise...

Nighttime wildlife video.
Managed a short one
Just realised I should have made the writing on the video a bit smaller (I usually do it half that size), but it is done and published now!
The Fox the Cat & the Badger
36secs


Have a splendiferous day...

Thank you for sharing the kaleidoscope despite that dreadful experience in the pharmacy still impacting you. Take your time with that coffee, those birds will survive without you being at their beck and call. Mind you, telling you that is about as much use as telling me not to ruminate.
As for creepy, this segment is plain sinister - Satanic even. That face and those horns :arghh:

Thank you @ianpspurs
Laboscope, I think, does have a tendency to have creepy sections in it. I see many many faces in it...
