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

Good morning everyone on a dull and garden already watered morning here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of something vaguely Italian with chicken, tomatoes and parmesan (the vaguely bit) came in at 4.8 this am

Thursday this week - nul points. Dull, like a mild curry for infants. Bike collected by the bike collection bloke - anyone want to rent half a garage? Girl in the bubble in the afternoon spiced things up - how many brightly coloured plastic balls can you keep moving in the garden? It was like being at a Harry Kane fitness workout at the Babbacombe Model Village.

Another tree this morning - I am enjoying trees at the moment. Hope that everyone has a pain free day, koffy time.

 
Still alive. Last few weeks of BBC contract coming up but no news on the contract rolling on so hoping for the best but preparing for lean times as contract, tenants leaving late mother's bungalow and govt help for the self-employed all coming to an end in September.

Giving Libre one last chance (to use up ones I have paid for) from September but have found them to flatline within the first week and I just cannot justify spending £50 a pop on it anymore. Especially if I am going to be unemployed again.
Hamsterwheel of feast or famine is getting too exhausting.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.
Welcome back @RFSMarch good luck in your search for gainful employment.

A 5.8 this morning on that scheming meter of mystery.

Update on Mrs J her operation went well yesterday and hopefully I can bring her home later today, hopefully you may well ask, the washing basket is full and I don't intend learning how to use it. Unfortunately I now have spend most of this morning clearing up the mess I made in the kitchen, yes I am nearly domesticated.

Well fellow posters, painters and gamers stay well and stay safe.
Now I must go and look up how to clear up a kitchen on YouTube.
 
5.6 this morning. We are off to Oxburgh Hall this morning and then have booked lunch at the 20 Church Wardens. A really old fashioned pub that does good home cooked food.

Am looking forward to our walk around Oxburgh and then our meal out. A really relaxing day. The dogs will enjoy it also.
 
I love your painting. I could just imagine a peaceful and relaxing walk around the coastline.
 
Good to see you back. Hopefully your BBC contract will be renewed and you get new tenants for the bungalow.
 
I am glad you are enjoying and continuing doing trees @dunelm
Brilliant!
 
Hi! Great to see you @RFSMarch
I will hope the best for you that feast continues!
 
I am glad all is well with Mrs J @alf_Josiah
 
Fbg 6.6

I gave the cat a reprieve last night. No photos!
It was dull cloud early this morning, and so I took a photo through the glass door to outside. The silhouette J bought me, maybe 20 years ago...


 
Morning everyone I haven't been on here for ages never seen to have the time to read all the posts . Decided to come back on here because it's so much more interesting and at least you don't get put on the "naughty step " for having a discussion. Blood sugars have been much better controlled over the last months now average out in the 6's with some ( if rare 5's) and a few ( wish they were rarer ) 7's . This morning had a 6.5 . Yesterday morning had a 4.7 which was very weird though did test twice .

Late welcome to Friday better known as SuperSalmonSaladDay. To avo or not to avo? An unwelcome 5.8 from Swipey for my fbg. Swipey just being Swipey, similar but lesser version of Julie's virus, fairly typical red meat and red wine reaction or just the random workings of T2? All other markers I watch really good. I'm becoming more convinced that bg isn't especially well associated with my wellbeing. Jury's out on red meat and red wine. Having an A1c which keeps Drs sweet is probably all I can do but a very hard "weening" process mentally. Good to hear from you @RFSMarch but hugs for uncertain times. What a competitor you are. Great piece of art @geefull and fantastic news on #chutneygate and the cafe and meal being just as you wanted. @Krystyna23040 enjoy your day at Oxburgh and the splendidly named eaterie. @dunelm your time with the GITB sounds magical yet again. @alf_Josiah good news on Mrs AJ and no one falls for that farrago about your domestic incompetence. Mrs A J wouldn't tolerate that for a second never mind all these years. Muddy cyclist is well, celebrated 49th wedding anniversary yesterday, still cycling, painting and music making - an upcoming gig. We have an extra childcare day and visit to an indoor playcentre. Stay as safe as possible but one just can't see things coming these days.

Oh the naughty step, you can get put on it here also, but in my case for using perceived naughty words, interesting game at times. Enjoy the banter.

@ianpspurs and all
Mrs J is now home drinking tea and issuing instructions and thanks you all for all your kind thoughts.
Now I have been instructed to get off my posterior and make her lunch.
 
Nice to see you back. Hope that your contract rolls on or something else pops up. Getting other tenants should not be a problem - I hope.
