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


I really shouldn't encourage him, Alf...but

I have read your replies out to Mrs J, Mrs J says thank you.
 
It is a difficult call, and always one that won’t please everyone @jjraak
 
Just be grateful gennepher your tiger is a small one!

HbA1c test is booked for five days time, knowing this, why on earth did I have biscuits with my coffee this morning? Don't usually have any, never mind two.
On the other hand have just had a negative result on Covid test. Test is in preparation for return to France in a few weeks.
Shower was lovely. Great to be able to wash hair as well. Heating is back on again also, we have been using the gas stove, while boiler was out of action. These are little luxuries we normally take for granted.
Still need to get appt for cat to see vet, he needs health check and preventative tablet for parasites.
@gennepher Hugs for the sore places getting cat head butts.
 
Thank you @SlimLizzy for the hugs...

Hot water and heating sounds absolutely brilliant!

A beautiful morning...blue skies...and a gentle cat this morning towards me. His whiskers were searching my face most of the night...

To give him his twice daily dementia tablet this morning, was a little more of a struggle. He saw my hand advancing and took a magnificent nearly 6 foot leap up to on top of a cabinet...he is 28 years old for goodness sake (nearly 29). So, this morning, it was catch the cat, mummify him in a blanket...and brave the tiger teeth...

Digital painting for today. Where I post my letters sometimes, are often some fairy rings in the grass below. So, to follow on from the pottery toadstools of yesterday, here is a magical fairy ring...do not step in the middle...or else a hundred years will pass in an instant...



I don't know what is up with cat this morning, he is extraordinarily bright and alert...he is definitely getting the correct dosage of the dementia tablet...

The traditional day to pick Dandelions to make wine is the 23rd, Darn! Missed it again. Have made this and it was magnificent, beautifully clear, golden and as a result of accidental double fermentation highly alcoholic. Maybe when MrSlim actually retires we will be settled enough for wine making.
@gennepher amazing leap from Popeye, glad he is being kinder to you.
 
5.4 this morning. Course was really good - lots of new stuff to.think about and incorporate into my teaching. It is so lovely to be able to keep learning new stuff.

Dog walk in the sunshine and then the Saturday classes and then some time to relax. Hopefully that doesn't include watching too much snooker.
 
A mighty leap from the mini-tiger - hope he does not land in that fairy ring. Fabulous digital art from you again, lovely theme.
 
Good morning you lovely people. Clear, cold and I still can't settle in Suffolk. My birth certificate clearly shows born in Cambridge and like the ring in LOTR it seems to want to go home . 4.7 for me but it is Libre so I'm not silly enough to believe it is real. I find it hard enough to deal with the hunger and tiredness of this WOE without stabbing and despairing at crazy numbers. Libre and morning weigh ins motivate me - the food is a massive inconvenience. However, diabetic complications would be a bigger inconvenience. This is certainly a whole lot less intrusive and inconvenient than the treatment and monitoring for bladder cancer. Great news about the shower and negative test @SlimLizzy. I hope the return to France goes smoothly. Well done on avoiding the scam @karen8967 and thanks for sharing @jjraak even though we don't deal with Vodaphone it is good to know. Glad Popeye is more tolerant of your artistic endeavours today @gennepher. The course sounds good @Krystyna23040. Enjoy your day even if you are mad and totally unethical - which is hardly news to anyone when applied to our PM.

All moving in the general direction of hooray! Hope that your plans for returning to France go without a hitch.
 
Good morning everyone from one of those of will it/won't it weather starts here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of a lazy DIY salad, picked over in the heat of the evening sun like a couple of exhausted crows who had miraculously found that they liked wine and could even hold a glass, came in at 5.2 this am.

A pleasant late breakfast at Alan Fresco’s and then over the moors to our little house on the prairie. The pleasantly warm morning turned into quite a hot afternoon. So hot in fact that Mrs Miggins donned a wide brimmed hat and put enough sun screen on to blend in with the Mudmen of Asaro. It painted quite a picture from my shaded seat as I watched her cooling the air with the pressure washer while at the same time cleaning down our two garden sheds, the contents of which we had turfed out for a spring clean.

Art - back to birds for a bit. Hope everyone has a pleasant day, I am still in the middle of my morning koffy.
