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


Night then @gennepher .

Hope all is safe and well in morning x
 
It is not an age thing @Granny_grump_
Don't say that.
It is simply a learning experience.
You have to repeat it to learn and remember.
You can do this.
I made so many mistakes when I first tried a few years ago on this site to upload photos.
I still make piles of mistakes.
Mistakes and trying are the learning process.
Always believe you can.



You are doing well x

Good morning everyone on a wet and windy start here in the dark and dangerous north.
According to my Dark Sky app, wind is gusting at a mere 41 mph but the indication is a peak of 61 mph this afternoon. Monday looks to be the watch out day here but that is just heresay. I hope that everyone will weather the storm with little incidence. Four new radiators are now in place, replacements for the ones fitted by those crazy hippies in the 60’s. By ‘eck it’s warm. Best turn them off and continue with string vests and a ganzy.
Art bit. Another interesting sky (ish) and a stout tree that hopefully will not blow over. Hope your day is a good one. Time enough for koffy.


 
4.8 this morning. Very surprised as I spent a huge part of yesterday updating my one-to-one clients home lesson plans and only did just under 8K steps. Hopefully no power cuts today so that I can continue with the admin.

Very wild out there but should be OK for the dog walk as long as we stay away from trees. Definitely won't be dog walking this afternoon.
 
Thank you since I stayed at home for 22 months over Covid no communication with people it caused anxiety problems my brain is in a fog, sometimes I think I will never get out of it. It affects my short term memory once I do a new thing I panic and can’t then remember what I’ve only just done, but I will not give up I will do it your absolutely right repeatedly doing a task makes it stick but I’m not repeating uploading enough in any one day to make it stick. How can I get round this ????? K
 
Interesting sky dunhelm a picture to make you think

Have a happy Friday Karen K
 
Good Morning Everyone
Hope nobody had any nasty shocks this morning after last nights storms and gusty winds
BG this morning was 6.4
Will see what it is after breakfast later. K
 
Fbg 6.7

Daylight now creeping across the sky. Gusty out. A few flying objects and stuff rearranged and added to my garden by the wind.

Windy.com tells me that wind will be gaining force around noon here, and continue until Saturday. Possible winds of up to 80 mph. But the data keeps changing each time I look...

I have an email saying some medical supplies I was expecting to be delivered today, won't be now as they are not letting their drivers out to brave the winds. But no re-delivery date given.

The bridge is closed all day today.

My other meds are going to have to wait until next week to be collected...

My creative this morning...
There were a lot more than 200 bulbs in those bags...done in Procreate and SketchClub apps.

I did about 4 changes of jackets and coats yesterday. They are still drying out. It took me ages to warm up under the electric blanket when I came in.

My garden was teeming with wildlife despite the wind and rain and hailstones, and me being out there.

Frogs hopping around. The stray cats came for food, and one went indoors and sat in the middle of my room for awhile watching me work (I left all doors open for fresh air and to blow the dust away...saves cleaning and dusting...). The sparrow and female blue tit were doing an amazing balancing act on the swaying bird feeders, and I had to keep replacing their wooden perches. The female blackbird (who acts more like a friendly robin), followed me around the garden, within a few inches of me, and checking the bulb planting (but Mr Blackbird does not like me at all). The starlings clung on the the bare swaying cherry tree branches at the end of my garden. Oh, and mousey came out to look at me brazenly. We were outstaring each other. A field mouse. I said, 'You wouldn't still be standing there if Popeye were still here'. Mousey still stared at me. 'Popeye would have had you down his gullet by now, head first, in one piece, and with just your frantic tail waving out of his mouth,' I told mousey. With that, mousey number 2 leapt from nowhere, shoved mousey number 1 out of the way, and I saw it had no tail, it had been bitten off. It would have had no head if that had been Popeye. I need another mouser, and none of these stray cats are fitting that bill. They are just waiting for their servant to feed them...

I was never going to get those bulbs in. Then I remembered, J was always buying me lovely plant pots (he had been a potter as well as a painter). And I had them filled with seasonal bulbs. When the bulbs died back, I used to put that plant pot behind the potting shed until those bulbs were ready to emerge again. In this way I had many plant pots, many different seasonal bulbs, and rang the seasonal changes in my garden easily and effortlessly. But eventually they died off, my garden became more wild, and I put the empty pots safely away. Now I had to find them.

I found some, filled them with soil. I have an area where I make my own rich soil (done that for the last nearly 20 years). I also have my wormery in a dustbin (done that for the last nearly 20 years as well), and they make soil for me. Still a lot of back breaking effort, but it got the job done. I am thinking when I finished, I wouldn't mind some double snowdrops...(yes, shoot me, I ordered some when I was warming up under my electric blanket later...75 of them...they are arriving on Monday...)

A nice warm cosy electric blanket beckons today. I deserve it!

 
Brilliant painting @dunelm
Love the tree and sky.
And I found Popeye in that tree!!!
Enjoy the coffee...
 
Believe you will get out of it @Granny_grump_
Write it down, step by step.
I do that a lot. I have to.
It works (most of the time!) for me.
 
Found Poppy very well hidden dunhelm. K
 
We did an extra long walk as we won't go out again today. It is definitely getting wilder.

Found some ancient matches and candles in case of power cuts so are all sorted.

Just one more coffee before starting admin.
 
Hi @Granny_grump_

A hug for the shielding

And as @gennepher, points out
We are never to old to learn, and unless people are terminally stupid we never stop learning

I can't speak for all
But I have no qualms about you practising in here when you want to try something out

As said, write down the steps to take
(I have a file, KEEP NOTES from Google.
Lets me label, pin & search my notes..sure there are lots of others out there on people's phones or laptops..
Not had any problems with it, useful, updated and free....what's not to love )

Do your best, and add to any post
I promise to be kind .

And worst case if it's not as you intended.?

Just edit post..and delete the pic part

I'm forever posting in too quick, then once read I re edit to correct or rearrange in some way.
( As I just proved..lol )

Everyday's a schoolday IF your still warm & breathing .
