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

Today started of a calm 5.9 then ...

late morning I get a phone call from another company I have applied to, arranging an interview for next week but although I have sent my cv I still have to apply via company application form which he e-mails to me and then after faffing about I work out I have to download it, edit it and then reply to his e-mail and attach it, so that was my afternoon taken care of between that and stuff I had to return to the post office and then late afternoon I get a phone call from the company I went for interview with earlier this week wanting me to attend 2nd interview next week also, so I am interviewed oot and I have got some new swatting to do for the 1st interview and probably a bit for 2nd interview too as I don't know what I will be asked ... Thanks to everyone for the good wishes I really do appreciate it - it is such a friendly and supportive chat this wee thread - much appreciated

@BRSBRI glad the appraisal went well with the big wigs - told you, you would nail it - you have impressed them that much you now have added responsibilities - well done you!

Exactly - one friend the other side of town refuses to give up anything.. so dinner round theirs was a 'moderation and take the hit' kinda deal, because it just was not worth the argument of 'but you DON'T HAVE TO give up ANYTHING... my doctor said so' circular row and just not worth the hassle!
 

Hi,

Yeah, I'm all good this end..
I've works some places where photography in certain areas ar prohibited. Lol, they don't even allow phones in certtain secure areas.

But hey! There's nothing to stop you posturing with with what looks like a Gibson Les Paul in your accommodation..?

Keep it rocking!
 
Congratulations, I hope. Sounds as though you will be very busy.
 
Great photos - scallops look good.
 
When first diagnosed I was sent on a Desmond Course and looked forward to that. The course was run by a diabetic specialist nurse and a nutritionist. Within 2 minutes I had decided to ignore everything that these script readers said and did not go back for the second day. Tweedledum and Tweedledee - Agreed to have a battle. I think that they both are now quite hooked on all manor of potions.
 
Well done Popeye - grabbing the best seat in the house. Good that you managed to capture the mood.
 
Good news I'm joining @gennepher and crossing fingers for your success.
 
Good Morning and 5.8 for me today.

Damp here and still cool but wind dropped thank goodness.

No idea what the day will bring, two music recordings still to do but other than that I can please myself.

Keep safe and be amazing.
 
Really good news about the interviews. I am not surprised that filling in the application form took so long. I know that filling forms in on the computer and sending them back via email is an environmentally friendly way to do things but sometimes it is much quicker and easier to fill in a paper form and post it.
 
good morning everyone from another morning of mystery and expectations here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of chicken with spinach, tomatoes and melted mozarella came in at a reasonable 5.2 this am

Our little house on the prairie has now been opened up ready for away days. We have not used it since September and are looking forward to using it again. There is talk amongst the grandchildren of visiting us there next week before school resumes.
2 years ago today we were in San Antonio with one of my sisters and her family. They lived in Texas at that time so we spent a week with them between visits to NY and then Washington for the blossom festival. I expect that we will have to wait until next year to visit again - this time back in their home town of Fayetteville.
The greattits are still around and the male (at least I think that it is) keeps bashing itself on the windows trying to get in. Maybe I should hire a hawk? Bird food - must add that to our shopping list.

Art today - some marbling and a wee corvid who has been taught to say ‘Jeremy’. Hope that everyone has a fabulous Friday - I am going to tuck it onto the next couple of days and have a long weekend. Time for koffy.


 
2nd interview - smashing stuff and hope that all goes well for you
 
The escape and visit of grandchildren sound ideal.

Marbling worked well, really like the effect, never tried it myself, is it on rice paper? I have been waiting for that Covid to speak but it's not happening.
 
I think we should!!!
That reader's digest article has been very useful over the years for other situations as well. One or two key points kick into my brain when I am dealing with a difficult situation, so I can then try to verbally turn that situation round @Krystyna23040

It was J who bought me that Reader's Digest all those years ago. I never read it, it wasn't my thing. But J did. And he bought me a copy when he read that article. I suppose that was where you could read stuff like that before the internet really came along for most of us.
 
I like the way this is going @Muddy Cyclist
And it is great seeing how you progress with doing your watercolours.
