Thinks that par for the course, @JHPH

I know some do the last thing at night too,
I wasn't one for that regularly.

Feet on the floor & pre meal, 2 hours after first bite..that was enough for me

Mine went down a mmol a month...or there abouts, if that helps

Fasting BG started at 10, lowered over the months to a steady nine, then repeated each month until I got down to what I think is my natural level of mid 5's.

( Struggling to get it as low now, but I do know the reasons )


Sure yours will follow suit, just be patient .
 
Good morning everyone from under a bright an cloudless sky here in the dark and dangerous north. The planned walk into town was cancelled yesterday. Rain stopped play. So - car. We don’t mind a bit of rain but the girl in the bubble was in her toddler trike and there is no rain cover for it. Boo hoo! So, toast and butter was consumed by said toddler and all was right in the world. Jolly hockey sticks yesterday in the Commonwealth games but no so for our gals tiptoeing outside the lines in their baton dash. Oh well. It’s all been marvelous and they will now all be dashing over to Munich as long as they have their passports organised, paperwork pilled up and are camping out overnight at the airport in the hope of cadging a lift on a plane. Might be easier flying to Dublin first. Anyhow, art bit. A new day, a new tree in the making. Have a marvelous Monday if you can. I shall continue by drinking Koffy and then hanging some washing on the line now that I have complete my level 1 domestic chores part A.

 
Fbg 6.6

Last night, Midnight didn't want me to lock up. I hadn't a clue what he wanted. He normally gets on the swing and settles to sleep when I lock up for the night. But not last night. i was taking my tomatoes in. I always bring them in at night now they are fruiting, and then in the morning I put them out again for the bees and insects to fertilise the new flowers. These two plants give me all the tomatoes I need. So I sorted all my packing up for the night stuff, and Midnight is still following me around. I gave him lots of strokes and cuddles and stuff, but by now I just wanted to lock up and go to bed. He got in the way of the door so I was unable to lock it. He came in the bungalow and wouldn't leave, so I went to lock the door, but he shot outside. Inside or outside, he wanted neither. He was very insistent about something in his miaows, but I did not have a clue.

I have mended the cat flap in the kitchen. It will last a little while. And I was trying to persuade Midnight to use it, but all I got was him on one or other side of the cat flap but he had no intention of going through it. I even tried propping it open, he just stared at me from the other side...

So, last night when he took me in the kitchen for the umpteenth time, I then moved his food and biscuits to in there, water, and a cat tray, which I don't think he has ever seen in his life, and his big wide eyes looked at it as though it were an alien monster. There is a chair in the kitchen which my cats used to sit on. I had already, a few weeks ago, prepared that with cushions and fleeces on it for him. I put a drop of milk on a plate to occupy him while I got out unseen and shut the door. And went to bed and straight to sleep.

I looked in the kitchen with trepidation when I woke up this morning. Everything was as it was last night. And no Midnight. He had finally figured out the cat flap and got through it without jamming in it. He must've done that pretty much straight away. He hadn't even sat on the chair.

So then, I am looking out with trepidation for Midnight on the swing this morning. He was there with Jade. A sigh of relief from me. Midnight was lovely and friendly with me.

I will have another go with Midnight and the kitchen and the cat flap later today. I want him to realise he can come back into the kitchen from outside where there will always be that chair for him, water, and cat food in there. He may need a retreat from some night creature in the garden. I think the badger has returned the night before last because some stuff was moved in the garden. Some larger branches. It was like something was trying to make a den with the digging that had gone on. I cannot find an entry point. There might be a tunnel into the garden...

Creative is a digital drawing of Midnight and Jade. I am trying to get their characters...

Another cuppa needed now...
And a nap...

 
Hello everyone on another warm, dry day in the Exotic East. Four generation Sunday lunch went well yesterday and today is Four Grandchildren day. JKP will be exhausted by the end of the week. @dunelm thanks for the very sturdy if gnarled looking tree. Is that what “they” call character?. What is this rain of which you speak? @JHPH welcome and as @jjraak says that pattern is a familiar one to many.. @gennepher I hope Midnight learns to use the kitchen as a safe space away from badgers. Thanks for the Little and Large creative. Interesting that you bring in tomatoes each night. When we had a proper garden one raised bed was always a tomato bed. as I eat a great many tomatoes. A man in the village sold the widest variety of tomato plants I have ever seen very cheaply. Phrase of the day: at ease with delivering casual dissembling and delivering silly pabulum. Sadly that is almost certainly our next PM. Y'all take care now and come back real soon.

Your patience is certainly bearing fruit with Midnight. Thank your for the portrait. American Gothic - eat your heart out.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs. The rain in Saltburn falls mainly on the beach. It’s the culture war game man - run, run as far and as fast as you can.
 
A very impressive stout tree @dunelm
A plate of toast and butter sets the world to rights...
 
Thanks @ianpspurs
Midnight needs an escape if the badger has come back.
Thanks for the painting compliment.
It is just something I do with tomatoes. It is easy done, they are a compact bunch, albeit very heavy at the moment with the crop of tomatoes.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all irrespective of their geographical and political leanings. A special mention for @JHPH welcome to this little corner of this huge site in time I am sure all will be explained.
Blood sugars this morning were 6.1, I can live with that.

Some interesting art work today, thanks @gennepher and @dunelm .
Darn sarf we have some hot weather forecasted for the next few days so that stops any plans me, me’s and myself have for committing motorcycling and any serious woodworking. Mrs J will make good use of this free time.

Unfortunately a few random thoughts have been rattling round that large empty space in my head where my brain cell used to live and one of those thoughts is questioning the difference between outright political belief and religious belief. I have a feeling the answers to this question are way beyond my pay grade and intellectual understanding.
Stay safe, stay cool and bring a smile to a strangers face.
 
Hugs for the hot weather stopping your play, Alf.
