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

Four possible names for today in the liturgical year but definitely a feast. I'll go with Candlemas because it helps weather forecasters. Meanwhile, in the temporal realm, Swipey bestowed a 4.9 on me early doors. Nothing to like there beyond not being a 5,6 or 7.9. Elsewhere, some have decided to anthropomorphise Swipey and claim he/she/non cisgendered.self defined device becomes senile around the stage of life mine has reached. Enjoy your day folks. @alf_Josiah well done on getting an appointment and hope all goes well today and on results day. I have no idea what an LC feast could possibly look like - mine will be mackerel and avo salad (just for a change) - seems like an oxymoron along the lines of "reality tv."
 
@gennepher @Muddy Cyclist @geefull @dunelm I love the paintings of the trees. I really miss all the woodland walks we normally do it is so nice to see your paintings.

I also miss visiting exhibitions so it is lovely having the daily art exhibition.

One of my favourites was the Turner exhibition at Greenwich some years ago. The paintings were stunning and then we went on the Cutty Sark which was moored outside. A really magical day.

An exhibition I unexpectedly really enjoyed was the Edvard Munch exhibition at The British Museum. I hadn't realised just how brilliant an artist he was.

My worst exhibition was an exhibition of Japanese art at the British Museum. I love Japanese art and was so looking forward to it. Unfortunately my brain had a blip and misread the title of the exhibition. I thought it was Japanese exotic art but my brain had inserted an x instead of an r which completely changed the meaning of the word. I have never exited an exhibition so fast.
 
5.2 this morning. Dog walk delayed until the torrential rain stops. So coffee and more coffee.

Mr K is at Morrisons to get the organic milk. We are not going to the farm shop at the moment. Staff are furloughed and the self service milk machine is being really temperamental and isn't working that well at the moment.. Also the road to it isn't that good in wet or icy weather.
 
Thank you.

Good news on the glasses front, Mr Gee is going to look like a new man.

Great resist painting from you, worked well. You have captured the atmosphere of a spring woodland perfectly.
 
I know the feeling for dwindling rations, our situation yesterday but today all fridges and cupboards are full after yesterday's Tesco adventure.

Great tree in those blue mountains from you today. Get some more rice paper we need your daily contributions don't want any interruptions in production.
 
Good Morning and 5,9 for me today, no idea why as it was fish and very low carb meal yesterday evening.

Rain, sheets of it today. First a visit to National Tyre to sort out the VW Golf which had new tyres on New Years Eve and I noticed yesterday one is a different tyre to the other three, they have agreed to change it, looks like I am going to be standing in the rain when waiting.

Keep safe and warm.
 
That is absolutely dreadful. Thank goodness you had a gut feeling that there was something not quite right about it.
 
Thank you @dunelm

Interesting tree with those vine tendrils round it...

If anything sounds too easy and effortless, then there is probably a huge catch...
 
Oh dear
My brain misreads words at times as well @Krystyna23040

I think that it is absolutely normal. Unfortunately my brain is really good at it. When I worked in admin and we had to send out information to all the students we were told not to proof read our letters because our brains will not spot the mistakes as we will see what we should have written not what we actually have written.
 
I think I might agree with that statement @Krystyna23040
 
So, self-isolation. sopping wet, no sport yet. What does a guy battered by years of TQM, especially continuous improvement, do? Roam the internet looking for goodness knows what - but not that kind of Japanese art @Krystyna23040 . One found these absolutely useless snippets but I feel personally enriched, positively self-improved, so don't judge me all you Rob Rinders out there. First up was this* and then the Ianish brain remembers this . By now it is absolutely imperative I urgently calculate my own score - which seems good btw but I could do with being 40 years younger. Time well spent? Who knows but it does seem to take account of more factors than bg/A1c. Sun's out now so off I toddle round the paths of this place for hour 5 of 14.
Fascinating read if a little long *Useful tool at the bottom here - Framlingham score for diabetics this may be useful

6.2 for me this morning - possibly a bit stress related, at it was done before my GP appointment - however GP appointment went well, apparently I have an inflamed tendon and hard skin on the ball of my foot - so it was a relief all was ok and not a diabetes related thing
