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

Hello to all from a cooler "Little America." Still just mild enough for me to have my valet, Howgreeen, select a lightweight top, shorts and sandals but others will probably appreciate the ability to sleep better. Thanks for all the good wishes for yesterday. Scans are painless procedures but the results are embargoed from the patient until scrutinised by experts. Sorry Govey but we really do need them. @dunelm that structure is being fleshed out nicely. Thank you. @gennepher thanks for the kaleidoscope and good news that The Neurons have reformed for more concerts. What patience you showed with Ammy as indeed you do with all the wildlife. @Krystyna23040 the ice cream dessert left your fbg as calm as a millpond. Enjoy breakfast. Have a good but safe day everyone.

Thanks @ianpspurs
They all deserve time and attention. And I have plenty of time for that.
Hope the scan gives the results you need them to give.
Enjoy your morning tea...
 
Good morning all. A much appreciated cooler start to today. Two weeks into the additional Gliclazide and my fbs this morning was 14.9! Yesterday it went down to 10.2 so was hopeful that the trend was dropping but apparently not.
I was trimming the hedge in front of our caravan the other day and to my surprise look what I discovered. No sign of any inhabitants but I carefully covered it with the hedge and left it alone just in case. Does anyone know what type of birds have built it? We haven't been there much recently so it could have been built a while ago. We have had wrens nest nearby in the past. A lovely surprise. Best wishes to you all. Have a safe and happy week.
 
Wonderful to hear from you. Mixed post what with the still errant fbg offset by the much appreciated cooler weather. Very noble to cover the nest but trimming hedges during the extreme heat sounds daring. I must say that when we had hedges I took my cue from the farmers and waited until late September, early October, when birds had fledged, before trimming. All tidy for when the clocks changed and Christmas lights to be strung along the top. They also left the trimmings and fallen leaves as mulch. Cut back autumn fruiting raspberries and start pruning apple and pear trees New year's Eve. Burn pile for next year's bonfire. Ah, memories. Take care.

The birds are still raising young. I still have baby birds in my garden @dogslife
I agree with @ianpspurs
And no cutting or trimming yet, unless the branch etc is a danger of falling.
It is cooler today.

Next week's Gardener's question time will come from a mystery location here on Radio Diabetes. Now, Jim from Kent has a problem with his Ranunculus bulbosus. Sadly, Jim, wrong programme and as for the pictures, just no mate. Seek help at once

I remember J told me once. He was a teacher.
And he came into the classroom to a detailed drawing on the blackboard @ianpspurs
J studied the drawing, and then says to the class, 'I don't know who that belongs to, but he needs serious help immediately...'
 
Good late afternoon fellow posters and painters, been out and about today and ventured into deepest Surrey near where I used to live and work in previous life, ancient history, to left in the past.
Blood sugars this morning were a head scratching 4.8.
As with most of country we have been gifted with a little rain.
Take care all
 
Lovely relaxing day. Walked in Dunwich Forest then visited the excellent Dingle Hill Tea rooms where Mr K had coffee and walnut victoria sponge which he said was delicious. I only had coffee. As dinner is 7pm tonight I am now regretting not eating anything since breakfast.

We then visited The Dunwich Museum. An absolutely superb little museum. It was so interesting. Archie loved the coolness of the stone floor.

Back to the hotel we sat in the garden and read our books. Mr K had a pint of Wherry and I had a coffee. I am now so hungry and dinner is still an hour away.
 
Thank you @gennepher and so pleased that you are liking the journey.
 
Not such a cool cat yet but perhaps soon and sulking tech is not worth the worry. Lovely Borrage.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and I hope that little America gets a fair go at this rain.
 
You have to be grateful for stone floors in this heat. Enjoy that dinner.
 
Good to hear from you and hope the yo-yo ma musical blood sugars sorts itself out. Can’t help with the nest identification but good that you covered it back up.
 
A rotten night's sleep, this upcoming CT scan playing on my mind more then I care to admit to myself even.
Left me unsuitable for any testing .

FIL's 79th birthday.

Not in the best shape to go, for a few reasons, , but since accident Laurens done most of her family socials alone.

I Decided no more.

Checked to make sure she was ok with that.
She was, ...IF I was sure .

I always ask if she wants me to go. And she knows I'll go if she needs me, but I also know she says not to bother, to protect me....
(how far we've fallen, but can't help love her for it )

Tonight I went..

Had a lovely evening.
told them AND got told by them WE/THEY are my family ...lovely moment .

Awkward but caring questions, carefully answered re accident, etc

Not truly awkward, and rather nice, if I'm honest.
What on earth was I worried about


Yes, rather a lovely evening all round



Seems PTSD therapy is back on tomorrow...

I'd Rather finish regardless of the revelations, then be left on this plateau.

Rain + rain + rain today....so a cooler evening all round, thank goodness .

Sleep well. All.

Another day begins tomorrow.

A sure winner for going and a hug for your feelings of anxiety. What a journey and if you look back you can just about see the start, down there in the distance through the shimmering heat of the day. The going out bit might be fraught with all manner of dark thoughts but the cutting through it and getting out is such a tonic. Brava.
 
Good morning everyone from a sure start of a day where koffy abounds even if the day is still uncertain. Yesterday we visited some gardens and wandered round raising and collapsing umbrellas as the rain dictated. Brightened up about lunchtime though and Mrs Miggins got lots of ideas about for a rockery that she has been thinking about these past few months. We had a Chinese corner in our previous garden and we do miss having it. Art bit, another finished ink drawing so must think about what next. Have the best day that you can. I will now press the plunger on the cafetière and slurp some koffy.

 
4.7 this morning. Lovely dinner and ice cream treat after. 4.5 before dinner - 9.10 two hours after.

It was really misty and atmospheric when we walked along the cliffs last night.

This morning we are doing a quick dog walk and then breakfast and hopefully off to Dunwich Heath where Mr K will get his National Trust sausage roll. That is if the rain holds off. Then back home.
 
We worry (almost needlessly) when we needn't worry about some things @jjraak
Glad you had a great evening.
