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

Good afternoon all. Not had much of interest to post for a while. I had my second AZ vaccination yesterday. No after effects other than the usual sore arm. I haven't been testing my blood sugars for a while as they were constantly too high no matter what I did but my fbs at 7.30 am this morning was 10.2! One hour later it had gone down to 9.1 using the same finger. I assumed it was a result of the vaccine but then noticed that my remaining unused test strips were out of date.

6.45am FBG 6.3
It's our only grandsons third birthday this week. I might have seen him a dozen times altogether in his life. There is a tentative arrangement to meet up on the 15/16 weekend, which would have been our only chance before leaving for France.
At long last. Today spent ages trying to make appt for cat. Phoned six different surgeries before finding one licenced to issue Animal Health Certitficate. It takes about a week and has to be issued within 10 days of travel. Apparently the vet here will contact the vet in France who issued his passport. Now I am really worried. The vet who doesn't keep his surgery clean is almost certain to be behind on admin... and this is a time sensitive document without which Errant won't be able to travel.
Stress eating and drinking too much. I seem to have little control at the moment, leading to higher FBG. Still i did manage not to buy any chocolate today, small step in the right direction.
Did anyone notice I said would have been only chance to see our grandson before we went? Not a slip of the fingers, unfortunately, the ferry company appears to have cancelled ALL sailings until sixth of June.
MrSlim is spitting mad, as you can imagine. I am torn between yippee I will be able to visit people now and disappointment, imagining the grass growing another foot and the window for planting seeds vanishing entirely before we arrive.
Then there is the appointment with our advisor, on obtaining residency, not sure if we will be able to do that by video...
Cannot rearrange until we have ferry booking confirmed.
MrSlim has mentioned the channel tunnel. This is not really an option for me. Don't think I could manage driving for that long.
It's a real mess.

Good morning everyone on a nail biting result morning here in the dark and dangerous north - who will lose their money? Not the Conservatives in Hartlepool.
The wonder wheel of fish and broccoli in Szechwan sauce came home to roost at 4.1 this am.

Diaries - we seem to be looking at diaries for the first time in a year or so. Planning visits and anticipating the 17th May traffic light system but not moving from these shores unless we can go to Svalbard for a bit of skinny dipping, or did she say Vanuatu? A couple of camping trips in the bag and some potential dates for family gatherings.

A change of subject this morning with some cherry blossom - pictures taken in our park last week for a bit of inspiration. Hope everyone has a pleasant Friday. Koffy time.

Trying something else for tomorrow. I might still end up doing suns/moons, as I watch the night sky every night.

Don't be too sorry for him though - because while I was teaching my classes on Zoom last night he was relaxing with a whiskey.

Keep experimenting, keep giving us your imaginative pictures from your observation. Looking forward to whatever something new is going to give us.

5.3 this morning. Mr K is at Aldi doing the weekly shop while I relax with a coffee in my reclining chair in the conservatory. Don't be too sorry for him though - because while I was teaching my classes on Zoom last night he was relaxing with a whiskey.

Dog walking and admin today then an appointment with the nurse to inspect my head then more classes this evening.
