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

Good morning everyone from a quiet and pleasant morning in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of not a lot eaten yesterday came in at 5.7 this am

Had an on line consultation with my gp yesterday about my ankle - she took my temperature, blood pressure and pulse - I have the tools - then had a look at my ankle via my phone camera - seems like the bang on my ankle has brought on an episode of gout and cellulitis - oh joy of joys. Now I do get a bit of gout every now and then but it usually restricts itself to one toe - this time I get the bumper package and a free dose of cellulitis to try - something new!
Naproxen has been upgraded, codeine issued as well as something to protect digestive system and a dose of antibiotics - deep joy.
Good job we are being locked in from Thursday as I would be really miffed.
A couple of paintings, one for Remembrance. Have a wonderful pre bin day. Time for koffy.




 
The first one is so beautiful with those colours @dunelm
The second one is a very good Remembrance Day painting....
 
Hug for being in the wars health wise, take care that's quite a cocktail of medicine.

Two very excellent pieces of art from you today, I like the colour pallet of the first and perspective and suggestion of those ghostly poppies, brilliant.
 
Morning all. A day pregnant with possibilities on both the macro and micro stages. I'm basically Biden my time and hoping the darkness doesn't Trump the light. Weather here is almost evil, major work at the snagging stage, #SensorMcsensorface probably returns after 2 month lockdown, shopping delivery. #Dietgate unresolved - optimising bg control - whatever that means - kicks the broad spectrum of wellness/wellbeing issues out of kilter and definitely won't pay many visits to the land of pleasure. It is what it is - sorry SuBo that dream seems to have died, (lyrics here @gennepher) right now any dream will do (for that), eh Jason. The glorious future to come is not of this world. @dunelm intense sympathy for #anklegate - gout is bad enough but that combo must be a nightmare. @Alien Aspie great stats and something as bland as chicken sounds a nice way to break the fast. @Muddy Cyclist I seem to be, as usual?, the exception in liking the first piece best but both are beyond my wildest dreams for artistic talent. I have no idea what my gifts, if any, were but maybe some of us are just meant to be hewers of wood and drawers of pitchers like Claude Makele. Pip Pip old Toots.

The most creative I can be is trying to find words to describe crushing British losses in tennis matches. Even my food is best described as.... rustic, in terms of presentation! At least that's what I tell myself they would describe it as, if I was ever on Masterchef (not that I ever will be!)

I shall remain in awe!
 

Are you planning to stay up for the whole shebang?
 
I think the GP may prescribe a PPI to protect your stomach. You just take them 1hr before your first meal in am.

Ps Now I read what you said properly I see the GP gave you something to help your stomach!

Nope. My guess is The Sulky one will try to drag this through the courts. Can't this go to mid Dec?. I just pray there is no violence.

Getting a little forgetful recently as I totally forgot about my meds till about 9 PM yesterday so ended up with an fbg this AM of 6.6 that's what you get for taking preds so late in the day. never mind all things pass.

Congrats to all the artists I liked all the presentations today so far.

Keiran was playing tennis at the tennis courts at Lincoln University with a friend yesterday when they noticed they had an audience a fox was sat watching them play for quite awhile head moving side to side following the motion of the ball. Keiran happened to knock the ball out of court, then the fox seeing it's opportunity stole the tennis ball and ran off with it.

So fox stopped play.

He has a video of it I say put it on U tube may go viral.

@Muddy Cyclist we are in the midlands too. Again woken by pouring rain very early in the morning. Covered the bed and back to sleep. Later woke to sunshine.
We have decided not to move the van, the fridge has finally started working properly so best not to move again. Therefore,
MrSlim has decided today is the day to replace the skylight.

That is my worry too... the fact that shops are being boarded up does not look good....
 
A good but windy Autumn Muddy Cycle ride, 2 hours and some inspiration for more painting of the heathland. Noticed the Larch are now in their orange coat and the Beech are still holding onto some leaves. A ride that lifted my spirit in these strange times....



Sorry about photo quality my old Blackberry phone is on its last legs, held together with Gaffa Tape.
