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

Gosh, that reminded me of The Old Man of Storr, only a year ago Mrs MC and I clambered to this same spot to take many photos similar to this one.

There I is plateau from which this shot can be taken, most tourists walk to where the well trodden path stops and never actually see this angle, well worth the extra effort.

Edit and here we are halfway up to plateau

Lovely pic, might need to appropriate this one for my "backgrounds" collection. Hope you don't mind.

Oh no - have just read that President Bolsonaro of Brazil has said that concerns about the corona virus are exaggerated and has called for the economy to take precedence over public health.

His critics say that he is even outdoing Trump in spouting ill informed nonsense.

There's a massive queue already

Hopefully everyone is keeping the correct distance apart.

That is so funny. I also loved the comment someone made "You just know that other bird is thinking”wow, we’ve been in lockdown too long, he’s finally gone crackers”.

The one I posted is taken from a tourist site for Scotland. I do have a much better one that I took somewhere on my Laptop. Purely by luck the light was stunning when we reached the plateau, I will see if I can find it.

Certainly being done in our Tesco and policed by staff.

Good to know. Still no help for those of us shielding as comments there show. I have sons nearby to help if desperate but I'm certain many who have been told to shield are not so fortunate. I really hope the database sharing works but can see the flaw when the registered shieldee and supermarket account? holder are different - I am definitely in that situation . Phone calls and emails useless right now. I'm not in trouble but I guarantee some are.

That advice is about as useful as a chocolate fireguard. Actually not as useful because at least you can eat a chocolate fireguard.
I feel so sorry for that doctor and all medical staff.

My second effort this unknown man putting it in real perspective...

I've just looked him up on facebook to share this on my timeline. His name is Daniel Matarazzo and it has a youtube link as well

https://www.facebook.com/video.php?v=10158151790766055

edit: I thought I posted a link to his Fb page but something went wrong. Never mind, now we know his name we can easily check out his other stuff

Great fbg, especially after the stress of yesterday. 3 bean salad, dishes with chick peas and beans in general would be my preferred diet but I can't reconcile that with LC/keto and my pathetic bg control. Njcoise is one of my favourites as are French beans (high carb though?). Good ideas there so thanks so much - could be time for me to ditch the 1 meal routine and pop the pills.
Update: Just checked French beans on chronometer - 3.9 for 83 gms (allegedly) so borderline ok? May also consider including wine again - reluctantly - did that nearly 5 years ago when I started. Not convinced it is good for the bigger picture drinking wine just to reduce bg/fbg.

@ianpspurs Doubt if you would have 83g french beans in a portion of nicoise salad. Perhaps 20-25g?
Another possibility is mushrooms á la grecque.
I also like an avocado, tomato and feta salad. Best with fresh basil. Dressed with vinagrette. Currently using Brebis cheese. Sheep's milk cheese, similar to feta, but more crumbly. Still at approx half the price of feta it does an ok job.

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all who have time to play the song game, when I found time to log in just now I only had 83 unread posts.

A more resonable 5.6 for me and me's this morning, much better than the 4's I have been getting.

It appears that more stringent lockdown advice is appearing and it also appears several large supermarkets are running low on stocks of whips and handcuffs, better panic buy your favourite items now.
Hold on a message is just coming across. .....OK, yes I understand.....It appears this not the Web site I thought I was on. Apologies .

Interesting day. Attended a virtual birthday party this afternoon - no cake but lots of hats and cheery beverages in appropriate vessels - hic!

Converted my gopro stick to a selfie stick and after that mounted my phone behind my gopro in order to use the phone screen to see what the gopro is looking at. Unfortunately, can’t yet work out how to mount the gopro and the phone to the stick at the same time. J mounts - who knew.

Note - you have to saw off a bit of a J mount for it to fit onto a gopro stick.
