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


Thank you @Muddy Cyclist. Toys at the ready for the girl in the bubble - enjoy your ride.
 
Riding a bike - best tonic going. You do well to keep a good 2m anti-social distance from anything vaguely resembling a cup cake - especially if they are sitting on one of those fancy stands.
 

Ah! 91 miles but a stop at a greasy spoon is worth at least 10 more, if not more. Sympathy and sorrow for the sad exchange of good hard cash for the contents of a garden centre - the word schadenfreude slipped in there somewhere. Take solace in your plinky plonky and add more fuel to the tank.
 
A more playful fella may wish to weaponise an opportunity which has just come my way. Someone temporarily 2 yrs older than I managed to book a click and collect at Cambridge Aldi having forgotten the delivery arranged today via another supermarket. I would never dream of banking that for future reference The day has certainly perked up immensely and Starbucks is still to come Good week actually what with Jose going.

A rather pleasing 7.7 this am though once upon a time I would have thought this number dire , a drop from the stinky 9's of late due to my restraint in the carb department yesterday ( just under 100 carbs in total ).Off shopping to source some reasonably low carb bread. Bread is definitely my nemesis!
 
Thank you @dunelm
For that wonderful description of the setting sun in Africa. It is beautiful...
 
A joyful long legged bird @dunelm
 
Good morning @ianpspurs
 
good evening all

4.5 yesterday and 4.1 today

fine yesterday but raining today we managed to get some more strimming done yesterday but raking up will have to wait

quiet day today, just over to mum's to pick up her shopping list followed by a pleasant village walk when we got back
Mum is champing at the bit for the shops to open so she can go buy some more knitting wool for a sweater. she has taken to knitting up her left over bits of wool into pairs of bedsocks for the Xmas charity appeal.

Hope your day is treating you well

outdoor fun and exercise sounds good for both of you @alf_Josiah and @Muddy Cyclist

@gennepher - two lovely pictures filled with stunning light that second one almost has a UV glow.

@dunelm - I'm really enjoying your 'stork' pictures, the first is full of life and action, lovely ruffling feathers and the second one highlights how delicate but strong those long legs are

@Krystyna23040 - hope the stitch removal went painlessly

@ianpspurs - all good wishes to Julie

@Muddy Cyclist - sometimes a sketch is just the thing, filling up the memory store

art bit - slightly more structured paint sploshing today
 
hope the stitch removal went painlessly
Stitch removal was painless but unfortunately there is quite a lot of glue over some of the the stitches and I have to go back next week so that the nurse can have another go at taking these out.
 
John Campbell was talking about the Indian variant today and the tardiness of the politicians once again on bringing in quarantine and stopping flights in.

He thinks there will be a rush into the uk in the next three days, with no quarantine and many will be going into multigenerational households with the children mixing in schools.
It is also believed this new variant may escape the vaccine.
How do people get away with being so inept? Boy, J.C. was very upset about it.
Doris may well say we have to live with this and there well be another wave later in year.
Why would we risk our vaccine success, I can't see the Aussies and NZ people being so stupid.
 
Thank you for the painting compliment @geefull

Your paint ‘sploshing’ has produced a beautiful painting. I like it.

Hugs for those recalcitrant stitches @Krystyna23040

I have never had glue over stitches. I can’t imagine it... more hugs...
 
Thank you for your comments @geefull. Another successful sploshing from you today. I like the suggestion of the trees.
 
Good morning everyone from a slow start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of ham and eggs dropped in at 5.4 this am

Late breakfast in a pub garden yesterday - very pleasant, they had laid out the place well and it was table service only. Should have bought shares in fancy gazebos.
A parcel arrived yesterday from friends in Finland containing two pairs of traditional Finnish indoor socks - will be well good when they are finished.
Art - a couple of images taken from my backing paper with a couple of ideas. Hope your Tuesday is a good one. I shall have koffy and then see what the day brings.
