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

@dunelm I love this!
 
Morning...a dull day so far but the sun is making a bit of an effort...no FBG can't get into it at the moment my weekend...off to sort out work and hopefully some of the paperwork today...keep safe everyone.
 
Another 8.2 despite 2hrs in the gym yesterday ...mmm maybe I should have spent more of the time exercising rather than looking at the fit guys lol
 
hugs for the numbers alf x
 

When I was first suspected of having the virus in March my doctor put me on vit D amongst others.
 
That's really interesting. So the word about vitamin D is definitely getting around. Although there is one major problem - the pharmaceutical companies can't make massive profits from it.

John Campbell has been putting out this message for ages, as are some of the medics he interviews from other countries.

Yet it was not considered to be a factor in problems ethnic minorities had during the worst of the pandemic???

Ventured out to my barber's house this am, it was the first official cut of my hair since
Nov last year.
Well, the duchess did nag it once and I cut the sides looking in the windows from outside (so I didn't get into trouble cutting and dropping hair in the bathroom).
I need not have been concerned, he wore a visor and coverall, so much so I joked with him about how he would have also been a surgeon 200 years ago!
With typical gritty Cumbrian humour he asked me if I would like some blood letting as well as an hair cut?
Which I declined!

The barber's round here, take absolutely no precautions at all. No shields, no facemasks. It is business as pre-covid times....

People are not even fond of wearing masks round here...
 
4.5 this morning after a bit of a restless night in fact at 3 AM I was amusing myself by playing nessun dorma on my Amazon Echo.

Wife was not so amused though.

Perhaps you were inspired and gave it the enthusiasm it deserved, as it was when it was the world cup theme..

GOOOOAAALLLLLLL....
 

STABBO...hahaha

sounds like you might be having TOO much of a day, judging by the Mona videos your being forced to watch.

seems very much a Stockholm syndrome developing.

shall keep a close eye on posts,
tip us the wink if you need the CBeebies Police called..
 
Interesting science article on Covid-19. You may have seen it already but just in case...

https://elemental.medium.com/a-supe...teresting-new-theory-has-emerged-31cb8eba9d63

strangely enough was reading that last night.

Does 'seem' to pull all the randomness of the disease together for the first time, that i have read.

and again VIT D..we took ours on the advise of others, and have read many more suggest it.

crazy that such news wasn't directed more at the BAME community, based on the reports of being more susceptible.

Great link, anyway.

cheers for posting.

BTW....Brilliant news that lungs/life is getting Easier/ Better
 

WHOA..And what a GREAT anniversary to celebrate then, a long tome coming.. but now it's here....
 
a dull old day in London town.

6.2 bg so little lower... but maybe just a blip.

temp 35.8...less coolant needed maybe.

have a good day all.
 
All in hand. CBeebies, Netflix, Amazon Prime and later Youtube Minecraft for the big fella - 7- on his tablet, phone or iPad. Phenominal Skips, Pombears, nappies, baby wipes and sudocream bill devloping! Seems I'm being paid in cuddles - how do you explain social distancing to 2 year and 15 month old babies?
 
On way to Tesco I was taken with the dull day changing to a bright sunny day so scooted back home for paints and sketch pad to do a quick Plein Air sketch in watercolur will use it to create a proper painting. 15 minutes A4.

Visit to MILs bungalow put off until Friday, Mrs MC forgot she had hairdresser appointment today.

You can't so don't even try just keep your distance when possible and won't hurt their feelings too much.

I know it's not easy on my part I have no young babies and toddlers to watch over as my grandson is 25 years old'

Talking of which my GS approached me the other day while I was chilling in the back garden and said thank you granddad I said what for his reply was thank you for bringing me up I may tell you that brought a tear to my eye but as I told him it was my privilege and not a chore but a pleasure I'm so proud of him it's almost beyond words.

Grand children are the greatest blessing God ever gives us.
