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

Brilliant clip, showmanship at its best. Good chuckle.

These feel reckless times, so recklessly I hung my self portrait on the threads gallery wall. Thank you for your compliments re @gennepher and my efforts.

The thanks is all mine for your sharing of your gifts rather than hoarding or using merely for personal gain. Hopefully, you can both share your work here and profit from your talent. Artwork obviously gives you both, and I assume @geefull , great joy.

Hi Rhyia, the isolation period covers how long you are possibly contagious i.e. able to contaminate with an active virus. As the body fights the virus it diminishes it's immune system etc and to get back to normal is then the recovery period. The recovery period is unique to each case depending on the immune systems, ability to heal, comorbid disorders like diabetes, COPD, heart disease etc.

Hope that helps
 
I hope I have read you right @OldButBold. Like injured sportspeople - self defined however they want - repair or treatment to return to some kind of normal doesn't mean full recovery. Regaining fitness and eventually top level competitiveness is a longer process requiring careful management. The population at large don't usually have that luxury, especially women who tend to bear the biggest burden in caring for others. Is that a correct reading of your post?

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

Good morning everyone from a moist and breezy dark and dangerous north with displays of raindrops where each one is quite easy to discern - oh gloom!

The wonder wheel of a lost hour and then rushing about to lay on the sofa all day came in at 4.7 this am

Day 8 of not going out but stocks of koffy are still OK. The 22 yard running, nay staggering, track round the kitchen and dining room is getting a bit boring so I have upped the ante with music and audio books courtesy of YouTube - don’t glance at the screen, you might bump into furniture and get a poorly knee.

Spam - we had spam fritters with eggs yesterday on a bed of something made out of mushrooms, peas, crumbled feta and mint. - Well you can’t just have spam fritters on their own, that’s child food and comes with music by Monty Python.

"SISTER, sister, go to bed!
Go and rest your weary head."
Thus the prudent brother said.

"Do you want a battered hide,
Or scratches to your face applied?"
Thus his sister calm replied.

"Sister, do not raise my wrath.
I'd make you into mutton broth
As easily as kill a moth"

The sister raised her beaming eye
And looked on him indignantly
And sternly answered, "Only try!"

Off to the cook he quickly ran.
"Dear Cook, please lend a frying-pan
To me as quickly as you can."

And wherefore should I lend it you?"
"The reason, Cook, is plain to view.
I wish to make an Irish stew."

"What meat is in that stew to go?"
"My sister'll be the contents!"
"Oh"
"You'll lend the pan to me, Cook?"
"No!"

Moral: Never stew your sister.
Lewis Caroll.

Koffy is calling - and koffy has no concept of time skips
 

Precisely. I have had a certain fascination with recovery times having had polio as a child. I suffered an injury playing rugby at school and remember the doctor saying that I should take it easy as I hadn't recovered yet from polio. To look at me now you would never know, but I have a missing quad on the left so technically I am still in recovery because I am not as I was prior to the condition
 
Hopefully the report I have just read in Thursday's 'i' is correct - that the immense effort that scientists are making, plus dropping some of the 'red' tape will result in a vaccine being made available in 6 months.
 
Helps a great deal thank you.
