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

    With FPTP, the scorched earth tactics of this last and almost certain next, pre-election, budget plus the general feeling of ennui don't be surprised if the next election is not as expected and the same feelings of disillusion/despair/hopelessness to be all pervasive within 18 months. A majority...

    Unfortunate (or very clever/sly dig) wording. Hester will be demanding his £15 million back. Sorry but it is an open goal.

    The media campaign is, imho, more to do with cheating on Diana and dislike of Camilla for not shifting as many copies. Kate seems to have turned them against her somewhat with #photogate - oh, and not releasing her medical records. @JohnEGreen hug for Edward the Passion Bearer. Seems to probably...

    Fascinating how nothing much changes in the circles of power. Today in 978 Edward the Martyr was murdered in a ;power struggle - slightly odd reason for a feast - while in the here and now the media are in a lather over a possible plot to replace Rishi. If we're honest there has been a long an...

    Morning all on what looks but doesn't quite yet feel like a spring morning here in Little America. If the wind doesn't go right through you one requires more layers than a thriving poultry business. I have no idea how Passion Sunday impacted my bg or today's fbg though I analysed everything...

    Good man yourself for giving me another really good reason to enjoy a tot of their produce. Very rude not to toast a friend - even virtual - who has been through some hard times recently. I can't let you drink alone, unthinkable. I'll never know why JKP insisted I buy a litre at duty free - she...

    Happy birthday to the Ninky Nonks - shall you dress as Iggle Piggle? Hugs for all Gen Alpha who have basically been governed by the, mainly Oxford educated :playful:, cast of Shameless. Enjoy the meal, hopefully in the dry. Thank you for the art which reminded me of a Christmas card - probably...

    Peace be with you all this St Patrick's Day. Did he actually exist if there are no selfies? I can't even find his blog or social page which gives one pause, eh what? Does a tree falling in a forest really make a noise if no one hears? What is the sound of one hand clapping? We'll be back to...

    Hug for the bad behaviour of the shop assistant and the lack of meds but big winner for the atmospheric creative. I hope this evening and tonight are relaxing and restorative after the tiring day.

    The spectre of clouds on the horizon for Tim. A lot of ZOE's advice, including around eating more whole foods and fewer processed foods, is sensible, she thinks but she believes this message is "not compelling enough" to sell a £300 product. Full article here Meanwhile, @JohnEGreen was confined...

    Enjoy your Koffy. I've instructed my valet to prepare my fourth best life for this morning and my second best for evening wear. How about Y'all? Do post your selfies and link us to your social otherwise it just didn't happen.

    Thank you for sharing the very tranquil art. If that was the product of yesterday then time was far from squandered. Anyhow, this pernicious idea that one must always be "doing" is actually insecurity - fomo. The obsession with living and - over - sharing your "best" life - as if one had several...

    @jjraak sorry for your loss. Thoughts and prayers with you and your family.

    Here are some extracts from longer poems which I have found very useful over the years. They have been very useful to me this week but in the spirit of you do you I accept your reaction may be to ask me to go forth and multiply. I hope the link works for you should you wish to read/listen to...

    Good fbg after all the stress lately and excellent news that your tests can be done close to home in future.

    Thank you for sharing the wonderful creative and for feeling confident/comfortable enough to share the photo which must be tinged with both happy and slightly sad memories. You've had some tough times so it speaks volumes abut your generosity of spirit, your love that you still share your art...

    Morning all from another sullen skied start to the day in Little America. Until some all purpose pub quizzer type relieves themselves of their surplus yes but whataboutery (is that extremism now?) on my (halloumi) chips I'm feeling virtuous for having put out two bags of clothes for recycling...

    Thank you. Smooth journey both ways and the treatment went as smoothly as I could wish for. Thank you for sharing the creative and I hope your mollycoddling is continuing to work.

    Thanks for the good wishes. The race post echoed my thoughts (what I actually think most of the time isn't really "safe" to be shared, so best to keep quiet) on the (literally) macabre "race" poor JKP is witnessing/living through twixt me and her mum. That's where the hugs and prayers are most...

    Morning all from a breezy, sullen skied but so far dry L.A. @dunelm the beef stew sounds as though it will be delicious and thanks for the art. At least here we get a whole year for our brown bin fee although many of the exclusions make little sense. The joining fee is well over 50% more...
