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

No - I think you have got that wrong - showers and baths don't start again until September.
That obviously very much depends on who you are or advise. Very clear in the small print that terms and conditions apply - to some.
 
I managed to get it with official lyrics including the naughty word (which in my Google words app, which I played alongside it, was censored )

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist

5.2 for me this morning that was at about 4:35 AM

Hugs for your frustrating tiring day yesterday @SlimLizzy
Give yourself a bit of time out today, a bit of me time.
Give your TO DO list a rest just for an hour or so.
Then go back to it.
Take care x
 
FBG 5.3 this morning but had to get up before dawn to achieve that. Better than yesterday when bloods were 6.5 for no apparent reason that I can discover.

So jealous of you @Krystyna23040 for managing to clear your desk. I keep looking at the pile of papers I need to sort then put it away again.
Special hugs to you @SlimLizzy for your shopping dilemma. Hope you find a farm shop or grocery store that will deliver.
Didn't comment earlier but meant to say your digital swan was so dramatic @gennepher. You are so clever with these apps.

Hope everyone has a good day today and manages to do everything on their to do lists. Keep safe if you are travelling. Especially if it is the length of the country! Wonder how many Covid infused comfort stops he had to make with a 4 year old.

I did that for almost 9 weeks. Today I am sitting at my empty desk and it feels really strange and alien. Not like my desk at all. I don't think that in the 20 years I have been working for myself that I have ever been up to date with my paperwork. There has never been the time to do it.

The question is - once everything is back to normal will my desk go back to its normal chaotic state.

Morning Boris Survivors.

BG a naughty 6.5
temp at 36.6

What a weekend, and what a day ahead.
as said our first trip to see our daughter.
Glorious day out.

Then home to...

A V Sigh for OUR beloved NHS
The UK being THE laughing stock of the world
and despite confidence from all quarters evaporating
our glorious Leader , goes all Tammy Wynette
....strange days indeed.

I see a somerset hospital has shut as it's over run with Covid cases.
so do STILL be careful, alert & SD..the Virus hasn't gone away.

Play well, but stay safe my friends
 

Oh @SlimLizzy ..what a tale

i gave a win for the attention to a lesser creatures needs, despite your own woes...Lovely gesture x

I hope the shop next time has all you need, and in the meantime the exercise AND freedom to go is doing you good i suppose
and i hear that ache to really want to see the rest of the family, but July will come soon enough.

Do keep us informed, i always like to hear, what seems an idyllic Gallic lifestyle actually IS like.
And despite the ups and downs i'm still as they say... "Well Jel"...

Stay well
Travel safely.

A long 4 hour Mountain Bike Ride with DIL and with a 20 minute stop to do a Plein Air watercolour. It very busy and took all my knowledge of Cannock Chase to dodge others, overall we succeeded. Lots of picnicking families at Hot spots, no social distance, grandparents, kids and grandkids everywhere not surprising under Gov ridiculousness.

@ianpspurs for your information, FBG 5.8. Then after a breakfast of Cheese, Ham, slice SKinny Bread, Greek Yogurt seeds and Almonds, two black coffees, I weighed just under 77 Kilo, (put on weight under lockdown) 4.5 hours later after the bike ride and before lunch i weighed 74 Kilo and my BG was 6.2.

The ride was through Oak Woods, Pine forest, heathland and the mill race path. We came across the area that saw a devastating fire on Friday, extensive. Picture below is me on a high ridge between Sherbrooke Valley and Cherry Tree Slade, (no Cherry Trees) the other is me finding a spot to do my painting where the fire started, all this beauty and I decide to paint devastation in the valley that runs up past Dickslees Cave.(like the Cherry Tree no Cave).area burnt looks small here but it is a few square miles, terrible.


So my watercolour painting is another sketchbook Plein Air effort 20 minutes A4. There was something strangely beautiful about this disastrous scene. Silver Birches seemed to glow against the purple/blue/black background, whilst the path remained bright and sandy in the strong sun. I had taken my watercolours to paint Oak Trees, rode through many 800 year olds with many dropped limbs in the high winds yesterday but the burnt area is what I tried to capture.
 

Those rides must do you good - losing 3kgs ! Lovely images and artwork. Take care.

Yes, one of the things I want to ask my Phone Call YEarly Assessment Nurse about on Thursday. I can vary up to 7lbs a day on bike rides, BP always fine, circulation a little iffy, bowel movements fine, scales renewed and tested so I have been worrying about it. I like to keep my weight about 11stone 7lbs in old money, crept up under lockdown too much snacking.

PS we don't potter all quite Aerobic and I don't take in enough fluids on rides, on this one less than a litre, not good. Images of me on my bike are rare it was good to have SIL along to take some.
