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

[alf_Josiah]

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen. A quick skim through today's posts, nice art work and photographs.

A 5.5 this morning ( correct spelling is Morening ) on that meter of mystery.

Continuing to be busy making sawdust, with the byproduct being planters.
Lunch break is now over and I must continue the design of the unspecified design planter, but it has to be similar to the double height planters.

Hopefully back tomorrow, remember the stay's.

Agree, and it wasn't a hug for the rest of it for etc, no offence meant or taken I hope.

More the loss Of your old stomping ground

It was for the last sentence..


Both different, but I'm a curious cat,
I couldn't wait to explore wherever we go.
So covid day, I think I'd be out the gates early

But as you suggest
We each tread our own path

No offence taken and thanks for the follow up post. What is emerging is that the whole environment impacts my view of lc and my numbers. Aside from leaving the closest to paradise on earth for me, staying local in a "second hand" house has made life harder. The move was made knowing that I could recreate a fair proportion of what worked for me within a half hour drive. I knew this town wouldn't work too well for me. Given a lifting of restrictions and the opening of a major new resource within 10 mins walk life may improve quickly. Once we can roam Cambridge, Bury St Edmunds and Ely freely and finish things here it will improve. Ideally, I need a bungalow in a small village well away from many people but with certain resources within 30 mins drive. Oddly, just what I had!

Shopping as a local...photos with a very old backup bashed and battered phone as I forgot to recharge the prototype!

Somethings in the food department aren't for the faint hearted...but it's not Wuhan, that's for SURE! Super clean too.

At 730pm I am getting a huge bowl of spicy duck soup, greens, cabbage and other bits...sitting at a metal table in the damp open, with a long cool drink...then back to the room to put my feet up About a 25 minute walk...

Yes, the prototype takes better photos @BRSBRI

I am not sure about 'STIR FRED SNAKE' though...that was the name of my ex...

A great selection of photos...I would love to wander round there...the nearest I have got to that is Manchester Chinatown...

And in one of the Chinese food supermarkets, some of the food was alive crawling along the floor...I was wearing flip flops at the time...

Love the photo's - except the last one. Have eaten kangaroo and crocodile in Australia but I think I would draw the line at snake.

I bet I beat you to it and will be out of the gates before you and Lauren.

More research completed. 20g of stilton, 20g of cashews and 16g of Montezumas 100%. 4.6 before. 4.9 two hours after. Very interesting this research into the impact of the resistant starch in Cashews on blood sugars. Rarely has research been so enjoyable.

Oooh...a race...

And the winner will be....

Me...I have been planning my trip the last two days...
It will be the trip I had planned last March a year ago, when Lockdown cruelly cut my plans short....

Sounds like I need to wish you all enjoyable trips now as even zero dark hours will be too late for some of you. You may need to wait a tad: 06:09 Monday, 29 March 2021 (BST) Dawn in London, UK

So jealous..

Love that image of you eating like that.

We are always up for the more exotic choices, and usually the best are at the more local level, sat on small plastic garden furniture ala Bourdain...check Netflix Parts Unknown.

Lauren idolises the man, and he's my go to.
"Where would Bourdain eat in.... "

Not sure of snake, supposed it's like chicken, everything seems to be.

Eaten many disgusting things in the spirit of adventure, scorpion was perhaps my most exotic.

Loving the visual travelling.
Cheers for pics

Were now sat here discussing what we might have eaten .

I had a bite of snake (no pun intended) - not in sauce - it was like a cross between a flaky fish and a rabbity aftertaste. Very bony. It was ok...ya know...in a disguising sauce, better I imagine...

I watched a snake being prepared, not for the faint hearted that's for sure. But a quick taste was interesting. Not so bad. Preferred my duck soup and 2 cans of lager! That was 2 hours ago and a stabbing has produced a not so bad 5.3mmol. Back under an umbrella on the terrace with a gin and diet tonic.

Just spoken with the guys on the Gulfstream heading this way, they've had a good rest and are I think they said 5 hours away.

Believe it or not, though it'll be fantastic to be home I'll miss this place. Strange...

Stir fired snake? That's a discussion in itself! I once had a girlfriend nicknamed Big Willie - on this forum I can't explain why

Yep my backup phone has been used and abused for many years; I forgot my day to day contraption, sitting on a kitchen table 6060 miles away! The new version's software is the biz; the design lead is mad though. Totally off the wall

Lauren? You married MrsBRS since I've been gone?

The weather here is so variable...a foggy night...

@gennepher the new phone took these

Almost midnight and time for sleep in a few

Have a great Sunday evening everyone!

 

[BRSBRI]

Particularly difficult for Inuit Muslims with a long night and day!

Queue that rotten walrus they've buried!

 

[BRSBRI]

And they say we have cheeky banter...
the nerve.

All sounding good
And being more road minded, the lesson today was who are CUPRA..

Didn't realise Seat had an upmarket side
( makes sense, many do )
Or that they had split

Knowledge enlarged, cheers.

Car looks very good, lucky Mrs B.

I have no idea about the car. I know it's matte coloured, nothing else...you know more than me ! I might get to see it Wednesday at Farnborough if I don't train it home after the marathon flight north west!

Well you know how Lauren likes to talk...yada yada


My Lauren's a fake name
But it suits me on here.

She's one of the lucky ones,
The faintest hint of sun and she browns

I get the delights of a paddy skin.
White, then red, a tad redder, then peel,
Then back to white like I never been away.

Anyway make your own mind up.

Lauren of Arabia
And Gandalf.
That year's holiday hog.

Part 2 so I hope there are other posts to split these. The explanations of the art work help me enormously as, like poetry, I completely miss hidden meaning and any idea of technique without help. I can, I think, spot historical similarities or sporting styles/similarities and technique. Thanks for the replies to my question about how lc impacts (or doesn't) family life. You guys seem to be way more relaxed with T2 than me. We inhabit different worlds. I'm locked in an existential battle with a massively beefed up Cerberus on steroids. At any moment a tiny weakening or hint of pleasure on my part will lead to my doom - and those are my good days. 20 gms cashews last night - flat line on Swipey. @Krystyna23040 , stay local to me means 10k steps around my garden which I assume is local enough and yes I do wear a mask. I'm so glad I'm not driven, that would make life hard for Julie. Lamb shoulder day or Palm Sunday - what to call today? Pip Pip old Toots.
Edit: I haven't developed any interest in or attachment to this area so staying on our property is a doddle - nowhere I want to go.

You could do a lot worse than Lakenheath RSPB, plenty of flat paths and a few miles of walking, but I am not sure about dogs?

Big problem is these 2 don't do cars. Horses work to get them in and at least one has issues at both ends. Learnt a lesson taking them to Holkham beach last year Once there, they loved the beach and sea but the clean up on the way and afterwards was a nightmare. Brandon Country Park and our local woods are ideal if we can cure their car phobia.
