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

5.2 this morning. Food all sorted for today, coffee drunk and then the dog walk around the park, one more coffee and off to work. I wonder how many people will come to Pilates on such a hot day.

Morning from the London crime scene.

Sensible govt missing this morning, police are investigating..

Fbg up in the 7's

A free night, Madame with g/f's near Brighton.

A film, a beer or two . self inflicted.

Slight set back on the rehab

Took dog out other night ( loaner, not ours)
Felt good

So good I was doing some stretching, getting the knees ankle etc warmed up.

Tried a little GENTLE tip toe-ing...ok
A tiny bit of running on the spot ok.
Maybe a VERY gentle jog ?...ok..

Ouchey, ouchey.

Last day or so ankle slightly swollen & achey

Think I'll stick to stretching and give the more vigorous stuff :rolleyes: a months rest

Slightly depressing, was feeling SO good & confident....brought back down to earth with a resounding bump

No bad thing if the ankles not ready yet :sorry:

Work. Mmhh

Lady I work with got pinged this am.
Only 4 of us running office.

HO now scrambling to find staff to fill 10 days of quarantine.

Wondered why anyone still has the app on their phone ?

So unfit for purpose now it's a free for all, in 10, 9, 8, 7.....

Bit of a setback but your body will let you know quite sharply - more stretching - mind still stuck at 14 - body racing towards oblivion. Take it easy.
 
Beautiful day in Cumbria today. Wont be doing much after cataract operation on Saturday pm which could have gone a lot better.

I am a little mystified by the take off of Covid in my part of Cumbria. 620 cases per 100,000!
Must be visitors!
90% single jab 77% double..is there such a thing as herd immunity?
D.
 
FBG 4,9 this morning at 5 AM/
Can't cope in this heat just too much for me.
Keiran drove us up to Skegness last weekend on Judith's birthday it was a bit cooler then thank goodness. Had fish and chips al fresco enjoyed muchly until I accidently nocked my coffee over and Judith was the recipient of most of the spill luckily the coffee had cooled a lot by then so not a complete disaster.

Couple of days ago a building at the corner of our street a few yards away from us it has a charity shop ground floor and a flat above ended up with a proportion of it's roof on the road and pavement police closed of the road for a few hours residents moved to temporary accommodation instill repairs carried out luckily no one was actually walking or driving beneath it at the time it came down so that was a blessing.

Keiran gets his official results from Uni on Wednesday hope it's what he is expecting..

Hope all are well and will stay that way.

Hi @lindisfel sorry your op did not go as well as you hoped I do wish you a speedy recovery.

As for herd immunity only happens when a a high percentage of immunization is maintained.

They keep saying 87% of the population has been vaccinated I don't know how they know that as the latest census has not been fully processed yet as to population numbers and they only have the population figures from the previous census ten years ago.
 
Good morning everyone from another day sat around at the Gobi Desert Canoe Club here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of indoor BBQ stuff using the Ninja (even though we have an outdoor BBQ) came in at 5.6 this am.

A trip to Newcastle yesterday morning, Gateshead to be precise - Metro Centre - those chaps who wear blue shirts with a little white apple logo on. Mrs Miggins’ - brand new IPad - stopped installing - decided not to access WIFI and on, and on, and on. So, first person - she no fixy - second person - she get laptop, plug in IPad - then spots VPN actively smacking WIFI and sending it to the naughty step - all sorted - home again, home again, jiggerty jog.

One of our local surgeons has been blogging - you may find it of interest (I have no Idea how to shorten this or put it into a fancy link when using my IPad) - https://www.nomoresurgeons.com/post...vwJiAnZhn0lGsS5z3m2buNGXHc1NWGFMFatuxmPMEnI70

Art bit - from a photo of somewhere “oop north” - can’t tell you where - we need to keep non northerners believing the myth that north of The Humber is still a desolate wasteland from the Harrying of the North. Have a great day - look after your pets - the pavement temperature here yesterday was 56 deg C - certainly not good for little paws. Koffy time.

Fans - with a big plastic bottle of ice in front - two fans better, I feel your pain - I am not good in hot weather. All the best for Keiran.
 
Welcome to Monday Monday whether ye be Mommas and Poppas or no. Hugs for all who find this mild weather too much, including felines. Big virtual hugs for those with sore apres Apero noggins and for @jjraak's family. Huge wider dilemmas: ditch the app to avoid pingdemic thus exposing others; avoid testing unless feeling groggy thus exposing others. Who knew lemon juice skewed the results to positive, apart from teenagers? Biggest dilemma is obviously we all want this to go well but for the sake of the country we also need this man and his stooges gone asap.:banghead: Anyhow, two days of meat produced a 4.7 on the new Swipey - Meh. Lamb shoulder yesterday, studded with anchovies plus thyme, rosemary and oregano from the garden - sublime. Meat eating is another dilemma.:arghh: Good to hear from you @JohnEGreen and I hope Kieran's official results are as he hopes. Truly, believers or not, I pray that
God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; defend us in the same with thy mighty power;
I hope I'm wrong but I fear this will get very messy indeed and we'll all get the blame.

Oh I do hope that the operation actually did what it was supposed to do, despite it not going better than it might. Problem we have north of the Humber is that visitors keep posting photo’s of wonderful scenery and the great outdoors - and then it attracts even more - some of whom go nuts, right down to not knowing what a waste bin is for.
 
@lindisfel hug for the less than satisfactory operation and I hope the outcome is well worth the needless trouble. @dunelm well done on navigating the perils of Newcastle - I have been. Ponteland seemed agreeable enough. @jjraak Muddy is fine and has no problem with me letting people know. Quiet please, @SlimLizzy may have "a head" from some nasty fruit juice. @Krystyna23040 today is just the day for Pilates - lycra is so very cooling;) Stay away from children - and we will have 5.9 grandchildren here all once at some stage before the week ends:bigtears::bigtears::bigtears:

Amen to that.

And yes when it all goes wrong it will be our fault we used to have government that took responsibility for the consequences of their actions/inactions or did I just imagine that as part of the golden age fantasies we all have.at some time

God be with you all..
