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

Greetings chums from an autumnal Forest Heath Lightweight tracksuit today - epic fail of weather. The first snapshot of the shortcomings of this process gave a 4.8 on Swipey here. Good, bad or ugly it ain't gonna change now. Oddly enough that's where England Plc is at for a while. 7+ months of pretending Elsie's offerings can warm, nourish and please whilst eating to my meter - yippee Guys, I'm also aware that I'm richly blessed in so many ways so stick any hugs in shady areas please. This chune is the first part of my day, every day. I know which side my (Elsie) bread (Skinny bread actually, she really, really, really doesn't do bread) is buttered (President ideally since ya didn't ask). Stay safe - wear something white at night.

good morning everyone from a breezy and clear blue sky here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of some black & white puddings brought back from Hanley’s of Mitchelstown in Cork rocked in at 5.4 this am begorrah!
Quick drive to the GP surgery yesterday and given another load of tramadol capsules although I did later find a stash of naproxen later in the day. Ah well, it’s nice to have something up your sleeve for a rainy day. Eldest granddaughter is 17 today so will be applying for a driving licence I suspect and all that goes with it. Still, this is what happens when you have children, all of a sudden shiny wrapping paper and cardboard boxes are not good enough and other things catch their eye. We are meeting her for breakfast this morning before she scoots off to college.

Art bit, still playing with the soapy water. Hope that everyone is as well as they can be. I shall drink some koffy.

Your post hove into view well after mine above. Many congratulations to your granddaughter on attaining an age where so many possibilities lie ahead. B and W puds worked for you - not something I could be forced to eat under any circs. Good to see what others enjoy and understand how our maker was way ahead with diversity and inclusion. Hug for needing Tramadol and the sure as eggs is eggs progression from cars to houses for children's/grandchildren's presents.

5.2 this morning. Relaxing with a coffee. Feels much colder today. It's now 7 days since the Covid positive class member was at the class. So far everyone in the class has tested negative. So all good.

Fbg 6.7

I had a granddaddy of a visual migraine yesterday. Laid me low. Still feel a bit sick today.

So many things to do, the list got longer from yesterday...ugh...

This morning was meant to be a quick photo with no fartnarkling.
But the colour of this carved candle is such a gentle soft pink (J gave it me around 20 years ago, I will never light it, unless it is for some extraordinarily special) that the iPad rendered the pink bright orange. Been messing with this from an hour ago (so much for quickness), to reintroduce its pink back. Failed miserably. So, I sort of dramatised it.

Now to get on with the day before I get incapacitated again with the visual migraine. I can feel it still lurking...

Hug for the visual migraine. Winner for the art, KBO attitude and fartknarkling - schoolboy in me won't let that one go. One day that to do list will be someone else's think of it as an inheritance

A big hug for that migraine but a winner for the tenacity of the artwork.

Patched flares need to make a comeback then. Why is granddad sitting in the bath with his jeans on? I actually loved my Falmers.

Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are bored with strictly come dancing.
A straight 6.0 this morning on the meter of ….

Now a little thought or several on this popular idiot box program. I was wondering how much longer can this program can run under it’s present format.
Perhaps mixing up the format of the contestants might help, maybe a very tall dancer paired up with an extremely short obese dancer, got the idea, name some good matches if you feel interested.
Mrs J records the program then watches the dancing and fast forwards through the waffle, talking of waffling time for me and me’s depart.
Stay safe, stay well and stay away from the media.

Thanks for the hug and art compliment @ianpspurs
That's an idea about the to do list....

Didnt get down Solway today very cool and very wet.
Right down on diesel anyway. Went the two miles to the garage on Maryport road just now and straight into a space at a pump and took what was necessary for next few days. One vehicle going west put in a full tank of fuel but the garage said they had enough for all needs when I asked the fuel situation.

Hope you are all ok
