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

A well deserved break young lady. WPP is clearly the whey forward, Do you buy in or from bulk?
 
Just had a thought. I wonder if I stop using my exercise bike as a clothes horse and actually use it as an exercise bike it will help me to avoid going 'to pot' over this staycation.
 
Fbg 6.5

Absolutely teeming with rain here.
Went out to feed Jade and Merryweather and got soaked to the skin, but before I changed into dry clothes I grabbed my Pixel phone and took one quick shot of this raindrop at the end of Buddliea flower that needs deadheading. I had to get back in quick before phone got drowned.

Not a perfect shot. I would liked to have taken several shots to get more detail in the raindrop. I will try again later...

All is well here...

 
Love this tree @dunelm
Trees are a favourite for me as well.
Plenty of room for a horse and cart on this one
 
Fabulous raindrop shot on your Buddleia.
 
For those of you who enjoy dark chocolate (not me) and nuts (another usually on my no thanks list) this range may be of interest. I have been using these as a supplement to make Cronometer's trickier nutes and vits fall in line. As a side effect they seem to be transit friendly - TMI?. The same company sell, what I consider to be, good ready meals. Ideal for when The Food Fairy deserts her post such as September when she is orf to Wales to fly with MIL in a helicopter for 21 month delayed 90th birthday experience and see relatives. Julie's dad hailed from Nefyn. I've been maybe a handful of times but hills, seaside and rain are really not my environment of comfort. Dog sitting is a wonderful alibi - should be loads of football and rugby as well. Tough old life.

Thank you @gennepher, I am now wondering about how small a horse and cart could be - or how big? Is there a scale?
Size is a relative concept @dunelm
Hazarding a guess, I would say around the one third of blank paper mark...but maybe that is an English/Western thought @dunelm
If I am being pedantic I might say go by the golden mean/section.
But I am not a mathematician, drives me mad.
I think it is what is pleasing to the eye, your eye, my eye...and that is the right answer...

But I do have a small Chinese book on just art and painting (translated to English) which has a lot of philosophical thought in it...I haven't seen it in awhile. There might be something in that...
 
I started by buying from Bulk. It was a really good WPP at a good price, but then decided to get it from Pink Sun as they do organic and I am trying to go more organic.
Interesting name for the new supplier. These guys may interest you I use their Chia seeds protein powder in my protein and fibre "parridge". I was just reading their blurbs on wild lettuce and Irish sea lettuce, as you do. This seems far more likely to deliver longevity than Diet Dr/keto to my, admittedly biased, eyes but sadly T2 needs managing. Others achieve amazing benefits from DD/Keto so who knows? Shorter, more miserable but D complication free life is my aspiration for now.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are enjoying our August wet wave.

A young wet behind the ears 6.1 this morning on that scheming meter of mystery and unpredictability.

On a sad note one of my cordless drills committed suicide yesterday afternoon, it had had a hard long productive working life, it was struggling to get a grip on drill bits, but burning out is not a nice way to go. The smell and smoke were terrible. Me and me's will give it a good "send off".
Unfortunately one of grandchildren was using the drill at the time, alerting me to the problem with those words " Grandad should the drill be smoking?"
Funeral announcement to follow, no swarf, no offcuts and family only.

Now I'm sure you will understand if I disappear and commune with the internetty, Screwfix, Toolstation Web sites.


Have a great day, bulk buy if you feel the need, above all else stay safe.
 

At least it will be difficult to set our country on fire now!
This C of E service from Cambridge was rather nice this morning, Ian.

Hi Alf,
At least you will have a spare charger and battery. I have yet to replace a Bosch screwdriver/drill that decided I had given it the last straw.

Indigo Herbs looks like a really good company. Thank you for the link.
