Ophalmic shingles is horrible. Hope it settles down very soon. Great that you got the vaccine.

Covid vaccine 13 days ago, after shingles, no relationship.
Struggling with ophthalmic shingles, right sight of my head.
Right eye vision cloudy, maybe 25%, loss. Clinic review in two weeks.
Hope you all have happy outcomes as the vax success rolls on.
MCFC, come on the Blues!
Good morning everyone from a very quiet and pleasant start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of something made with courgettes and something made with mixed peppers and the addition of chorizo for the taste buds to get involved came in at 5.2 this am.
We have a gingko tree in our garden - two tiny plants were given to my mother by the nurserymen at Westonbirt Arboretum about 20 years ago and she gave one to us. It’s now about 3 feet high and needed to be moved - they do grow quite slowly. Anyhow - rootball was deeper than envisaged - it’s now in a large terracotta pot and I will need to milk my aching back for at least 2 days, possibly longer unless my acting wearies me; “It is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.”
@BRSBRI - interesting bike but I think that Apple are ripping people off with their latest watch design.
@Muddy Cyclist - another excellent seascape - savage sky and great reflections - will be interesting to compare with V2.
@gennepher - absolutely smashing winter scene with a stunning tree - are you pinning for a holiday abroad? Is Popeye worried?
I have ordered some more white rice paper - should have done it weeks ago - still, there is more of the yellow paper left. A couple of birds today - spring is in the air - “boing” - have a fabulous Friday - koffy calls (other sounds available).

Thank you @Muddy CyclistThank you.
Yet another good imaginative piece from you. I can see a good frosty Morning the light being captured and abstracted by the fingers of Frost with a flight to escape from the grips of the winter.
Seems he will need a minor operation, timescale 12 months plus. Unless it becomes an emergency.
Forgot FBG today.
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist
I shall be watching aeroplanes from my sunny garden today. They have been a rare breed, but may be returning...
Good morning one and all from the GWR Intercity to Paddington. Have a socially distanced meeting with the UK Government this morning - first time in the big Smoke since forever...and have a letter to show inquisitive police that this is a critical meeting, for absence of their doubt
FBG was 5.7. Healthy breakfast of kippers before a beautiful dawn...and back home by 4.30 if I get the planned westbound train in time for a Chinese dinner and Arthur walking!
I'm joined as we zip through the outer reaches of London (West Drayton, mate) with 1 other in my deserted 1st class carriage - less than 10% full through the whole train the manager tells me - in normal times it'd be packed. Strange indeed. Covered up with an FFP2 mask, I am coffee-less but will sort that later.
Train's a-slowing. Good morning London and have a great one all you fab folk

Amazing video call song and dance routine - if you're happy and you know it, hot cross buns were highlights - from 2.5 yo granddaughter early doors. .
Thank you. There were also 2 pieces of good news yesterday which I imagine helped . I'm still nowhere near certain that what LC does for Swipey equals good for Ian overall. I'm becoming convinced that the Spanish kid Cortisol Levels, holding midfielder, is what all winning teams need. This whole process is far too random. For me this is all about a woe which will hopefully offset the harm eating to my meter causes. Very narrow landing strip and I feel sure it misses too often.What a glorious start to your day.
You seem happier in your post.
THAT & the fours really do seem to agree with you.
Have a good un.
Gave a cheeky hug for no overseas travel.
ONLY for the fact, that was likely ME, and most happily so, if Lauren hadn't been so insistent,
( but I mean it more so for later on, then those early "beach holidays".)
How we both pine for that travel release & freedom.
I fully believe it added another layer to me.
To fully appreciate how others must live even on a rudimentary level, as we did, truly broadened my mind, as the saying goes.
I am not including the "holiday hotel" experience, where we, to a large degree, remained within the herd, whether at the hotel & the beaches, never more then shouting distance, from the sanity and safety () of other similar tourists, lovely though they were.
It was those lazy treks inland far away from the resorts, where we stumbled across villages, where WE, were more of a rarity.
Those moments where broken English, didn't quite cut the mustard.
Being followed by so many eyes ..at first worrying, but then touched by the experience.
"But for the grace of God" and location of birth, never seemed more apt.
Where life has been so seemingly pre-ordained & ordered.
As romantic or stupid as living the life seemed,
( Our goal was to experience life as a local, as far as was reasonable..... obv without too much discomfort)
really being there, envisaging the reality for so many, awakened something in me.
That's not safe the world over, so we have been truly blessed
That is exactly why injecting insulin was such a total nightmare for me. Exactly the same food and exercise and units of insulin would give wildly different blood sugar readings. I found that I needed also to inject for protein but it would be different for identical meals.I eat the same food in the same quantity at the same time about 80% of the time so why the massive variation if carbs are king?
You are a shining example of one for whom LC works really well.and I am delighted for you. I'm also convinced that statistically LC and monitoring, via preferred device, are the way to go. Fortunately, I have not needed insulin yet. Seeing how random these readings are it always amazes me how insulin users ever cope.. At levels down to 3 - Stabbo and Swipey - I function fine. My family history and changes in taste now align to make an HF - definitely saturated fat - route one to mainly avoid or at least tread vxtremely carefully.That is exactly why injecting insulin was such a total nightmare for me.

I kept extensive records and weighed and measured everything but still it made no sense - even after 4 years. I think that is why low carb was so brilliant for me. I still do have a pancreas and liver that like to have a bit of fun and not behave as they ought to, but the swings in blood sugar are not anything as wild as they were with injected insulin.
Mostly they trundle along in the 5s and the only thing I need to do is keep to 20 g carbs and not overdo the protein. It is uncomfortable when I start going really low but it doesn't happen too often, thank goodness.
I suppose the best thing about low carb is that I don't have to keep checking BS and then doing correction doses of insulin or correcting the lows with jelly babies. Although I must admit I did love the jelly babies and was quite sad when they went on the banned list.
Yes, I often think that people with T1D cope amazingly well with the random readings. I didn't cope that well compared with other insulin users on this forum.You are a shining example of one for whom LC works really well. At a population level I'm also convinced LC and monitoring, via preferred device, are the way to go. Fortunately, I have not needed insulin yet and at levels down to 3 - Stabbo and Swipey - I function fine. My family history and changes in taste now align to make the HF route one to avoid in the main for me. Seeing how random these readings are it always amazes how insulin users ever cope.
The Duchess was quite right. I had a father and grandfather who were told exactly the same. Now, I'm entirely more sensibleHad a nice job first thing this am.
We have our own sewage system with a septic tank and filter bed. I noticed yesterday the septic tank was backed up at the outflow pipe and was flooding over into the field. Its fenced off of course.
So I was out early with rods, spade, etc to take the heavy cover off and clear the exit pipe. As always it clears quickly with the grab rod and flooded the filter with a satisfying gushing noise.
The duchess stood on the grass verge watching to make sure I didn't fall in!
She couldn't resist making the comment you shouldn't be doing this at your age!
There is a lesson for those clearing a blockage on sewage systems.
Never stand in an area below the blockage when clearing it! As I did once. I stood on the filter bed and had great difficulty climbing off the filter bed quickly enough.

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist and I knew that I could count on you to back me up about spring chickens with worn out springsOuch for the aches, but we ain't no longer Spring Chickens, boing!
Great birds again on a well drawn blossom branch.
Thank you for compliments on my Sea pictures,
Take care.
You can end up with gossamer wings if you get it wrong.Had a nice job first thing this am.
