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

Thank you.

A bold choice of art for you today, notoriously difficult. A very good sketch.

One of the best I remember but can't recall the date was reported in a newspaper, a tanker carrying dehydrated water had crashed in a village and spilt its load into the village pond, the rehydration had resulted in flooding the village.

Then there was the newly discovered colony of flying penguins proving creation that was believed by some.
It has to be a big lie to be believed.

Brilliant. Have bookmarked this on my tablet and I am just about to bookmark it on my PC. Thank you for posting this graphic.

Got an email to say that my whey protein will be delivered tomorrow. Can't wait to start using it.

Glad it was useful. Just watched a 70 mins interview he gave. I understand what he says and what that means to eat - lean beef is his go to. Great, except I can't make red meat edible and low carb. I would have to force myself to eat it. Salmon is fine, so is the whey shake with Fage. This is going to be a mission. Oh, his talk is not good news if you like nuts, cream or bacon.
 
My cream consumption has drifted upwards during lockdown because I am definitely drinking too much coffee - so it will be good to cut it right down. Does he say no cream at all - or is it OK as long as you don't overdo it?
 
Thank you @geefull - a good study of a tricky subject to capture from you, just on the cusp of ripening.
 
Good morning everyone from a very early 0330 up before the larks start in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of pea and ham soup and a startled wake up came in at 3.2 this am - good job that liver motion sensor kicked in and released a booster shot, a bit OTT in my opinion.
Cold yesterday - brrrh! And, a miffed and noisy sea. Not angry, like it can be, soaking the unaware over the sea wall. Noisy though. Pub industry moaning and wailing about not being able to open pubs during Easter weekend - good grief. Vaccine passports - we need to lobby for blue ones and push for them to be available on EBay.
Versions 2 and 3 of my tryptic - version 3, colour - really not working. Never mind, it’s another day. Hope that everyone has a Good Friday - or as my grandchildren informed me on zoom last night; “it’s not called Good Friday grandad, it’s called Fish and Chips Friday.” Time for koffy.



 
Great pieces of art there!
 
Beautiful day for Good Friday in Cumbria with white frost on all the fields around the cottage in the bright morning sunshine.
Will spend the day within the confines of the garden rather in the mad rush to find space in popular places.
Have a good day

5.2 this morning. Yesterday was an interesting IT day. Tried to do the medical form part of my driving licence renewal but couldn't - so gave up and filled in the paper copy.

Then, late afternoon saw a message that said I had 13 days left to change my One Drive password - which I have to do once a year.

Every year, without fail, I have problems doing this and get locked out of all my documents ( I do absolutely everything in the cloud) and have to ring the firm that looks after my IT for them to sort it.

Only an idiot would choose 5pm.just before a bank holiday weekend to go ahead and try to update the password. Needless to say that's exactly what I did. Got locked out and rang the IT company at 5.15pm, in a complete panic and desperately hoping that they hadn't closed at 5pm. Luckily they were still open and it took them exactly 5 minutes to sort it. To say I was relieved is an understatement.
 
Morning one and all from a dull, cool Bath.
MrsBRS has just left for work, she's on duty today leaving me with the extensive honey do dis n dat list. Felix Formentor went with her so I finally get to reacquaint myself with Sid Stinger.

Steak, cauliflower, mushrooms and a dessert of pear poached in red wine with Greek yoghurt has led to an FBG of 5.9 - seems having a mental dog staring at you eating and a cat hissing, begging on the dining table does wonders for blood glucose
Not to mention great food from the in-house neurologist which was much appreciated.

Arthur and I have been for our walk. He met Samantha the lovely German Shepherd and sniffed a good few hellos as the respective owners chittered in the cold wind on the hill, followed by a coffee and a copy of the Guardian. Today's coffee accident was all over the Guardian so I got a second coffee and ditched the not very absorpent news rag.

Will take Sid out for a spin and hear the rumble of that 3.3 V6 again and it's a ½ work day - USA doesn't get Easter as stats and I'm on calls from 230pm all the way through to 700pm.

I leave Bath on Friday next week a day earlier than expected as I will need to bed down in Heathrow as my flight to Paris to catch the San Francisco takes off at the unearthly hour of 0615. I should have not bothered unpacking my case!

Gone for a mere 10 days this time round. No more travel till June (I hope). I've enjoyed being grounded...as I have lived out a business travel suitcase for years. It was and has been marvellous. The one Covid positive going forward is I intend not to travel so much and the BA top tier frequent flyer card I no longer care about... I'd rather be balanced!

Daughter in Glasgow heading towards her final exams with mum and non-medical dad providing video support. Been a year since we've seen her. We are all feeling it acutely. The other not so far in Oxfordshire at the moment is not working all weekend and we will meet in the great outdoors to say hello, have a wee picnic, hear about the SMALL (please) wedding of autumn 2022 and I understand she's off to Ascension and Falkland Islands soon - that's a long flight or 2.

Well everyone, happy Fish and Chip Friday, or Good Friday for those who observe.

Have a jolly splendiferous time no matter where or what!
 
great FBG - glad your IT is ticketyboo too.
 
Good plan. Enjoy! I shudder to think what Bath will see on visitation numbers...that's why I'm going out after my poached eggs before the country roads get slammed.

Have a good one up there!
