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

A 5.4 this morning which more keeps me happy.

Enjoy the stormy weather
 
5.9 this morning. Really lazy as we got up 2 hours later than usual and probably the higher reading is DP.

I think it might be a a lazy day altogether, although I probably need to get on with Christmas cards today.
You earned a lazy day with your efforts yesterday. Are Christmas cards going the way of wheel tappers and knocker uppers? What does one do with them any old how? Leave it with you - oh, keep an eye on Mr K's glass please. There's a good gel. Maybe he'd like a sandwich while you're there?
 
Thank you@ianpspurs. You have very special memories to treasure.
 
Thank you@
Thank you@ dunelm

Thank you. I don't know why I always feel guilty when I have a lazy day. I must admit though that it is so lovely to completely relax.

That's exactly what my daughter says about Christmas cards but I am not ready yet to stop sending them.
 

Thank you for the Popeye compliment @dunelm

A great composition with the English mountains.
 
A favourite singer/songwriter of ours, have you listened to arrangements of some of her Christmas Carols?

We do a similar version to this carol in our folk band, stolen from Laureena...

Thanks for this Muddy! I’d forgotten how much I loved her work. It’s given me some great ideas for my pupils next year too. They’re always doing those “cup” things and we’ve done a few flash mobs. I’ll draft some extra bodies in to the brass ensemble........ plotting, plotting....
 
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all who celebrate the joys of a full on Sunday roast without sprouts.

This morning a 5.7 and a few minutes ago a straight 4.0, whoops.

Here in Tilehurst Towers Mrs J and me and me's are hiding from the dank and dreary weather, but at least it's another day and the meaningless deadline is drawing closer, what deadline, you may well ask, any you care to choose is the answer.
Pass the jelly babies.
 
Just watching the remake (2016) of Whisky galore. I really feel it is even more important for myself, @dunelm and the Sainted Mr K to continue our work of international importance. @Krystyna23040 I cannot over emphasise how vital it is that you support Mr K in every way possible while he is involved in this vital work. I dare not ask others to risk themselves in such selfless perils with no reward save that of knowing one is serving the greater good.. @Muddy Cyclist I missed the Gold a few times- you?

Didn’t know they’d remade it. I love that film! Have you seen “Saving Grace”? It always reminded me of Whisky Galore.
I’m making earrings today. I haven’t done any Craft Fairs this year or any advertising as I thought I could do with a quite time but I’m still up to my ears in commissions!
Here’s some I made earlier..
 
Those are very good. What a brilliant talent you have.
 
To get back into painting, missed a few days, and a s Christmas Post needs sorting I have been painting Christmas Cards. Have gone for a very simple snow scene as I'm running out of time. A5 to go in precautions Card mounts less than 5 minute on each 12 a hour, they will have to do. I will put some shadow on the moon once they are dry.
