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


HiTech medical! Or #medtech as it'll be known today.

And I remember the MX6, - I had that and a Xedos 6 back in the day - both lovely machines.
 
Tonight we're replicating that great cook Elizabeth David, with omelettes filled with asparagus, shaved black truffles on top, a big crunchy salad, cheese and celery for me, oatcakes for herself and a nice Pinot Noir. Sitting in the wee garden. Still getting the sun, but the patio heater is on.

Lauren will be out wearing her sheepskin noseband for warmth shortly


BG at 445 was 5.4mmol...so Ok I guess...

Hope everyone has had a splendiferous day!
 
Not heard that one before. My old mum used to say, "Don't cast a clout until May is out" after yesterday I think she is right.

Treasure hunt was in sons garden, large so I drew a map and hid 24 eggs at different heights corresponding to heightifthe three girls...

Here we be outside sons cottage and in his huge garden, note the Coalbrookdale Windows, cold in winter.

So that's my art for yesterday, maps.

Also got chance to play some music outdoors, blues so no singing.

 
What a fabulous day
 
For those interested. A week back I mentioned the Quire was recording a Glee which we had never sung before so a bit of an experiment as all had to learn, sing and record remotely withthe hopeit would work out. Glee clubs were very popular in Georgian and early Victorian times...

Pleased with the result all things considered, Me Bass and Mrs MC Soprano.

I am late to the party today ... I hope yous have all had a lovely Easter Sunday.

Many thanks for all the good wishes for next week's interview - I will keep you all posted - I have been swatting up but to be honest you never know what they will throw in - at last one he asked if I phone your old boss what 3 words would he use to describe you? - I replied friendly, outgoing & reliable - not sure if I scored points or not and don't know what would have been a better reply?

Lovely photos all - I can't wait until I can get back near a beach or even out and about - not just local - again ...
 
The most terrible news from Taiwan. Wan, aka Hamish emailed me and let me know, very sadly, his closest friend and best man at his wedding has succumbed to injuries sustained in the dreadful train crash there last week. He only found out he was on the express late yesterday.

I've passed on deepest condolences and he says hello to everyone here.

Life is so very fragile...
 
So sorry, such sadness.
 
I'd say on myself: rebellious, outspoken, cantankerous, ropey sense of humour, smells like a stewed cabbage but is fiercely creative and a natural leader nevertheless. Lied all the way through his PhD at MIT and bribed the viva panel using potato scones and square sliced sausages.

It's a hard one isn't it? The curved ball questions and answers I find are the ones that stay with both sides long after the interview is consigned to history.

I'd think about the job and what qualities you've proven time and time again in the past that are highly relevant - reel them off.

Not sure that's of any help...but it's what I did for an interview at Google. Got offered and turned them down...
 
Yes every one has a different answer - one of my son's had said I should have said "a great communicator" ... so don't know ... and I think at the end of the day if someone takes a liking to you early on your answers don't matter too much - I remember years ago I went for an interview at Bank of Scotland in Edinburgh - I asked at interview if they would give me travelling expenses as I lived outside the city and would have had to get the train there (in those days some companies gave expenses, my friend worked at TSB and got them) they said no, so I wasn't interested in the job (I already had a local job at the time) so I know I made mistakes in the typing test and still got offered the job which I didn't accept - again, what's meant for you ...
