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

Thats what I did too. Mad.
 

That's what it sounded like to me. A trade war.
 
Smile!
I just read this:
A dentist and his wife just moved from the city back to his small hometown, where he has set up his own practice as an endodontist.
He must be looking for his roots.
 
Productive day for me managed to strip and polish MILs dinning chairs, felt a bit odd having them but MILwillnever gobackto her bungalow, so Chablis Chick (really,) shabby chick mainly because I could not get all that black Errcol stain off but we now can sit 12 around our dinning table when the leaves are added. However no family gatherings foran unknown amount of time..
Here are two of them done....

Not in style of our dinning room but sort of match the kitchen...


I think I'm going to have to slow down with this DIY stuff Mrs MC will be expecting more.
 
My friend rang this morning and opened her garden centre for 10 people at a time
this afternoon and is letting word out (via many outlets) that with contact details (email or phone) that invites will be issued. She’ll stay open, it’s a huge place beautifully fitted - 3m apart is more than doable.

Bowled over again, I’m ready for my little garden and to grow indoors again for the first time since my kids became seldom seen (nicer way of saying teenagers
)

Greetings. Be well. Have joy joy feelings...I’m off to watch Demolition Man so I’m au fait with contactless humanity ‍
 
At last finished my daily painting that's taken 4 days, but only about 2 hours in total painting time. Third in my Slate series, not happy with it so shall probably paint another to replace it at some point..wattercolour based on the old mine buildings on Snowdon Watkins Trail, A4 Size. have put the other two up as Thumbnails...


 

Thank you for posting it.
I like it. I also like the chairs.
 
A brilliant idea @Barb McD
 
They look really good @Muddy Cyclist
 
Brilliant. I love it @Muddy Cyclist
I like the windows in the slate wall very much.
 
@Muddy Cyclist your paintings evoke a memory for me, I lived in Dorset 16 years ago and one time we were walking on the beach when I saw these. They made me think of souls lost at sea returning to the land. I used the photo I took as a FB banner for a while

 

i gave a win for the irish link, but really deserves a big hiug, you can hear the worry, and that's amplified across the land.

We DO, i agree have to change what we are doing.
explained re shops, sure there are other equally valid methods

I'd like to see the chemist use Deliveroo or similar.
Blood runners on motorbike do take blood to hospital, maybe we should be looking to those not working to do something similar.
many bikers in the UK sure a good few will be off work .
a good way to help out..i'd offer..(may speak to chemists on Monday)

a collection in a secure way from pharmacy each day, perhaps left in room, all to exit, rider comes collects, meds taken to peoples homes, left on doorstep, and await collection (mobiles ? ) most will be at home if vulnerable surely..i think that ties in to the governments concerns about SI ..better one on one then hundreds in queues possibly passing it on, if not worrying the life out of each other.

sure many details to iron out, payment for fuel the number one, might be harder to get at some point.
but challenging times require novel solutions.

we are a great nation, i see no reason why inventive methods of distribution on local levels can not alleviate the genuine worries and concerns and simply add to the govt SI protocol.
 

I just realized something about the recent good news that my neighborhood grocery store will open an hour early (at 7 a.m.) for seniors to shop and pick up prescriptions.
Many of us seniors walk to the store.
At 7 a.m. it is still dark out.
I don't feel safe walking to the store in the dark.
And we can't go in groups because we can't be in close proximity to each other.
Another example of people rushing to "help" and not taking time to think things through.
 
Finally got yesterday's community newsletter early this afternoon.
We are now being told to stay in our apartments most of the time. Not expressly forbidden to go out for exercise, thank goodness.
The good news is that as of yesterday no one in the building has been diagnosed with coronavirus.
OTOH we have not all been tested.
The maintenance crew will be doing only emergency maintenance work.
So don't flush paper towels, or napkins, or any other paper except toilet paper down the toilet.

I discovered a couple of days ago that my toilet takes 24 seconds to fill back up once it has been flushed. Now all I have to do when I wash my hands is stop washing 4 seconds before the toilet stops running.
