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


a winner for the good news.

a hug for the trauma to you and Julie over all of this.
and a funny for the final lines....nicely humoured.

best wishes to you all..

caution still applies,
but we can all get through this,
we just need to be more canny
and sensible in what we do.
 
I guess better safe than sorry is the message there. But maybe you wouldnt have done much different one way or another. I hope Julie is better and is past the quarantine period and you can feel more comfortable sharing your space. I dont know about you but our plan is to exceed the safety recommendations wherever possible. Dont cancel the mayo treat it like an Easter treat.
 

I wish some of your Suffolk/East Anglia GPs could get in touch with their NHS colleagues in Wales and get better care to patients @gennepher et al.

Good morning Saskia and KC. Wasnt sure what you were referring to re Wales?
I hope you are well and also the KC. Very warm like a summer’s day here. Didnt feel able to leave back door open though due to Mousegate. Bobs the preyess went forth early. I locked the flap as soon as Daisy came back from her essentials. Wasnt long before looking out window there was a little mouse trying to outrun Bobs. So went out with flowerpot and did first rescue of the day. Bobs a little later was looking through flap window so I opened door to let her in and as she came in she swiped her paw under the step and planted a mouse inside. Rescue for this one took a bit longer after it jumped in and out of shoes but I got there and set him free at the top boundary of the garden. She has been locked in now for a few hours but will let her out for the last hunt of the day soon. Exhausting!
 
So pleased you are feeling chilled out and relaxed. Your potting shed sounds like the ideal place to relax, read and take a nap.

We did the weekly shop at Aldi - luckily no queuing Tesco had a huge queue - we queued for nearly an hour. Aldi does not do whole organic milk - which is why we go to Tesco. At the same time we do shop for neighbours - so it is not just the milk. I use the organic milk to make my Kefir - apparently if the milk is not organic it may have traces of antibiotics which could harm the Kefir.

We have been really lazy for the rest of the day. Sitting in the garden - reading and relaxing. So feel really chilled out now. Hope you and Popeye have a good night's sleep tonight.
 
Really lovely pictures. I loved both - especially the seascape.

I think they all have the same message from the centre. How they deal with it is a totally different matter and Wales, Scotland and England may not function at all the same way.
 
So here is my last in the Fence Series, or maybe not, unsure it fits in with the others and moon may get some more attention, we shall see. Idea came firm @gennepher quick digital art today. A4 watercolour 50 mins.


The complete series or not?
 
@ianpspurs your doctor's message must leave very mixed emotions. I'm pleased for you as a family but think caution is still the best way forward, so much still unknown about this virus.
 

I don't know if the series is complete or not (I hope not because I am enjoying it!) -- I really really love this one. It invites me over the hill and far away and looks a lot like a place in the mountains that I loved as a child.
And the road back from the barn to the lake house where I first learned about walking by full-moonlight.
And A.E. Housman's poem "White in the Moon" that I first read in Susan Cooper's The Dark Is Rising.
Did I mention that I really really love this painting?
 

D'ye ken Bobs Cat with her coat so black?
D'ye ken Bobs Cat when the flap is back (open)?
Four paws and a tail whisking out of sight
As the cat black-and-white goes hunting ...
 

I remember reading The Dark is Rising series to my girls at bedtime, they were probably old enough to read it for themselves at the time, but I think they knew I enjoyed reading to them and just put up with me doing it. A good set of books.

They probably enjoyed it as much as you did.

I remember my father reading to us at bedtime, or when we were sick in bed. One of our favorites (including my father) was The Princess and the Goblin.
 

The potting shed is a very comfy place to be, and no electricity in it. So I could be in own gypsy caravan... @Krystyna23040
It is nice and warm when the sun shines...

Glad you had a good day, apart from the wait in the Tesco queue.

Hopefully we will all sleep well tonight.
 

The kitty would from sleep a-rouse
And slip through the cat flap from the house
All for to pounce at a hairy little mouse
All in the garden green-O
"Bobs Cat?"
" @PenguinMum ?"
"Hunt ye well?"
"Very well!"
Hey down! Ho down!
Very hairy down --
"Don't bring that mouse in the house -- No!"
To my cat: "Put down!"
"On the mat -- put down!
Put down! Now! Down!
Very hairy down
Don't bring that mouse in the house -- No!"
