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

Have you a hug for all your difficulties, but really feel that's not enough. You show such strength of character in everything you do. Am in awe of you.
 
5.5 this morning. Just finishing coffee then off to classes in Norwich.

Have just discovered that if you chop up avocado and hard boiled egg it is delicious. I don't like hard boiled eggs normally but they are lovely with avocado.
I like avocado chopped up with feta, or mozzarella, small amount of tomato and fresh basil, if available.
Basil being the new superfood that helps to prevent dementia....ofc it was first included for flavour.
@Krystyna23040 Have you tried mixing boiled eggs with anchovies?

Popeye has eaten a little chicken this morning, but refused the roast beef. So it looks like my breakfast will be fried egg/s on roast beef...
No, hang on, I had a bag of pork scratchings earlier. Popeye always shares my bag of pork scratchings, but alas not today. So I had the whole bag to myself with a mug of tea and a mug of coffee.
So, the beef will be my lunch. I am saving the just above quail sized 'extra large' chicken for Popeye.
Popeye lay on my chest, under my chin, last night purring non stop all night...he didn't stop.
However, the purrs have now stopped since I opened up my iPad to do this creative sunflower photo in Gloomlogue.

I used the last photo I took of the sunflower, and put it through one of Gloomlogue's effects. It was a magnifying circle effect. I put it through several times, altered the position and magnification, and came up with this 'eye'!

That is my creativeness for today.




Now I feel like a power nap. I have been awake since 4:30 am...
Always time for a nap. Blue skies outside, so I want to sit in the garden in a bit...
 
Good morning everyone from another beautiful start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel ‘where the Heck are those sausages’ came in at 5.9 this am

Youngest son returned home yesterday morning and in no time at all, had the new beds up for the ninky nonks who were gushingly telling me all about it during our early evening catch up. Results all round. Mrs Miggins has taken the girl in the bubble over to our little house on the prairie. The will be back some time this afternoon. A parcel arrived from France with some rice paper that my mother had found in a drawer along with a couple of cards depicting Chinese art. I think that one of them is by Lin Fengmian @gennepher, looking at the leaves and birds. I might have a go at it.
Mr Pickle’s team lost yesterday in County Soccer. At 11, the disappointment of losing seems hard to shake off. He is playing in his league team, Northallerton, today so hope I that he has a better day of it.
Art bit - a boat in a bitter storm. I hope that you all have a pleasant valley Sunday. Time for koffy.

 
Greetings one and all. I'll tell you what I want to post by the end of this post. So, Swipey's make believe effort first up was 5.8 since when it was obviously deeply affected by us watching reach for the sky recently. Odd really as the week with Stabbington was far more Terra Firma based. This (last 3+ months) is starting to look as though Elsie and Swipey are lifestyle statements more than anything to do with health or wellbeing. Period of deep reflection incoming because there are other avenues to hiss away my money. I hope y'all find deep, deep joyloads in the day. I'mma swilling Assam, watching rugger and NFL and generally checking me whale bone stays. Laters crew.
 
Good to read that Popeye is taking some food. I like the effects in your ‘eye’ art - it has an organic, jewel like quality for me.
 
Thanks @mojo37
I agree. I would be too much of a disruptive influence in one...
I need my own freedom, my own space, and do things my way.

It is lovely to hear from you.
Take care.
Took me a while to think of the title but I think this would be you. For anyone interested here's a link. Can youtube be subtitled, Genn?
 
I haven't tried mixing boiled eggs with anchovies but will try it. The avocado with fetta or mozzarella sounds really good.
 
5.2 this morning. We are trying to decide between Sheringham Park and Oxburgh Hall today. Met office say maybe a chance of rain at 10am at Sheringham Park but not at Oxburgh Hall but BBC weather says no rain at either location.

Think about it young lady. Which one has the best coffee and sausage rolls? I expect better of you with your predicted grades and you a House Captain
 
I look forward to the Lin Fengmian art @dunelm

Great bitter storm, Tumultuous...

He is still asleep on my lap. He generally chills out and relaxes when I have a sleep. I just had an hour very deep sleep...and he looks the better for it!

Thank you. I was pleased the way that 'eye' turned out.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who work at the BBC’s work of fantasy and science fiction department, known to all as the weather forecast,
Today a mid range, well slightly off mid range 5.6 on that scheming meter of deception.

Sorry to inform you all that the frequency of my postings will be slightly irregular for the next week or so, that should bring a smile to a few faces.
Now unfortunately me and me’s must log out and start my day with medication and koffy.
Have a great, day hoard cucumbers and sprouts before the panic buyers discover there will not be a national shortage of them, but me and me’s are sceptical about the sprouts.
Stay well, stay safe and stay apart….

Yes @ianpspurs
It would be me...perfect...

I haven't heard of that film before...

I can watch it on my Pixel phone (but cannot do this on the iPad, no facility to do it) which has an app called LiveTranscribe. Got that up and running just now with Live Transcribe.
I couldn't do without my pixel phone!
I will take a break this afternoon, and watch.
Thanks very much!
 
Have fun @alf_Josiah wherever you will be!
