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

Good morning everyone - things to do, people to see, not much time, blah, blah, blah. Hope everyone has a great day. Here is one I did earlier. Must dash, koffy is calling in the dining room.

Then click repeatedly until you have the orientation you wish for, in your case twice. Then click done...
 
I really hope you can figure out how to right the ladders @alf_Josiah
Or else the little ones will be playing like this for the rest of the day...
 
So Saturday dawns in The Brecks ©. Dull, grey and distinctly chilly but enough about my issues. What concerns me more are the health and safety issues in some Berkshire gardens. Children and ladders don't mix well in my experience. Further anxiety came from stories of hungry magpie chicks. I'm too tender hearted at times. @gennepher thanks for the creative. I do like a kaleidoscope and I know what dandelions are so all good. @dunelm thanks for the art and don't overdo the busy, busy day. @karen8967 good to see you back in in such good form. @Jojo85 at least cheese is low carb so no harm done. Family day here today with a six day late Easter Egg hunt. Stay safe and as upbeat as possible without a cornucopia of pharmaceuticals.

Brilliant
Still not figured out the inversion in this program, but have grandchildren to lead astray now. Thanks for the pointers will delve deeper later.
 
6.5 this morning. Yesterday spent hours doing admin and didn't walk as much as I normally do. More admin today but will do more walking.

You'll get it @alf_Josiah
Once you have some peace and quiet and some me time...
You should have seen my sideways/upside down photos 13 years ago. A nice guy n the States told me to send my mis-orientated photos to him via email and he rightened them all for me...and sent them back by email...I just couldn't get it, but I have had 13 years practice now...

You gave a wonderful day with the grandkids!
 
Thanks @ianpspurs
 
A fine looking playground of adventure .

When I think back of all the wild stuff we had back in the day, I do feeling sorry for our young uns.

Tyres on ropes over streams or gaps
Happy times..

 
Hi all .

A balmy/barmy 7.1
The right direction,. If nothing else.

Pleasant week, of busy doing nothing .

1st proper appt for PTSD
Very nervous going in, as to what I would 'find'

An emotional time for sure, but not on the scale I imagined.

Presume these are baby steps, as when discussed was advised other visits* would be digging deeper.
(* Video not F2F)

A mix of emotions & discussions for the reason of such mental imagery .
Fleshed out some of the why, I felt.

Still that sense of dread, accompanying some mornings when first waking, but the vividness of dreams much reduced, and almost absent last few days .

Delicately discussed with Lauren, she's keen to share the load & it seems churlish to not accept her input and freeze her out entirely ?

Taking note I don't overwhelm her, but the chat did help me .

Top note was the idea I was mourning

Either myself, which feels odd but does fit.

Or the loss of a life I feel is now beyond me
Which could be right, though I do baulk at anything being so far gone, I can't aspire to doing it in some way, once adequately recovered

Lots to ponder over, for definite .

Physio going ok lots of repetitions of what seems like tiny movements, causing unexpectedly aching muscles the next day...nature of the beast I guess .

MIGHT be out today.
'neice' has bosses dog, plays nicely with Frankie.

Hints of a drive out somewhere and a 'play date for the dogs, and with consideration of what I could manage walking/scooter/crutches wise as I'm invited....which is nice .
 
Thanks for sharing your journey through the week however difficult parts of that were to confront or set down for general sharing. I hope you and the dogs have a wonderful time and stay within the limits of what your body can manage not what you would like it to manage. (Don't let JKP know I am capable of such insights)
 
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.

This is the normal ladder set for the grandchildren, but they wanted a different setup, which they designed.
It seems this photo is as planned.
@gennepher , @jjraak and @ianpspurs thanks for your input and thoughts. Yes life must have a little adventure.

Hey up fellow greaser, slang for motorcyclist, slowly slowly catchy monkey.
By the time you read this you will have been out and about I hope and are now relaxing.
Well done for posting.
 
Good morning all. fbs today was 14.3-my highest for many a year I think. Only three more weeks of my twice a week statins trial before the repeat of my fasting cholesterol test. If they haven't improved my cholesterol levels then that's it!! My HbA1c is going to be through the roof I expect so which is better/ worse is yet to be decided. Enjoy your week-end everyone.
 
You are doing brilliantly @jjraak
Hope you had a really good day.
