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

Thank you for sharing another splendid piece of art. Good news on booking for France and even better news that the new regime suits your sister better. I hope the changes your mother needs can be completed swiftly and with minimal disruption. It is always time for more tea.
 
Hi friends!

A surprising 4.9 this morning after a delicious platter of cheeses and salami last night but I'm not complaining lol

Hope everyone had a wonderful Sunday!
 
Good lazy Morening ladies and gentlemen and those of Neanderthal extraction.
Blood sugars this morning were a 5.7 .
When me, me’s and myself say lazy I am being lazy, after the last couple of weeks I’m sure my get up and go has got up and gone and not left a forwarding address.
Lots needs to be done here in Tilehurst Towers, but only the essentials will get done, they are easily defined Mrs J will point them out……
@gennepher I gave you a hug for the eyes, but you deserve a winner for solutions, now @ianpspurs if we ever to meet up we would need more than the riot shields, we would need the riot squad , we have such differing strong view points and mischievous senses of humour we would have a great time and terrify anybody nearby who would summon the riot squad. Vegan bacon sarnies and strong good koffy would have to be on the menu and motorcycle parking.
Perhaps we need kaptain Picard of Startrek fame to “ make it so”.

Stay safe all, enjoy your Sunday roast salad oh and sausage roll.
Edit: @dunelm hope all goes well for your sister and family and the deity of travelling smiles kindly on you.

I'm sure we would both be model citizens - well I would - in the event we were to meet. I was alluding to the need for us both to be very wary of any interactions which could lead to interference with immune systems, hence no hugs. From what I can gather my treatment is designed to help my immune system fight off the invader whereas yours is designed to make yours live in peace with your amazing gift. Startrek? Any mention of that and I'd be off
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and yes, I do hope that the changes that need making are easily and quickly implemented.
 
Amazon driver was due any minute, and no way was I taking off these work safety goggles. I had briefly earlier and my eyes dried up instantly. Amazon man came pulling his trolley, and stopped dead at this apparition in front of him.
At least you were not wearing a hazmat suit as well as safety goggles @gennepher
 
Thank you kindly @alf_Josiah
 
Hilary obviously had her reasons for not having chemo but I had no doubts and want to take this as deep into injury time as possible.
You were very wise to go ahead with the chemo @ianpspurs. I do regret not suggesting to Hilary that she would do better to do both the chemo and radiotherapy together, but as her doctors and her family respected her decision I felt I should not say anything. I still feel guilty though that I didn't question her decision.
 
A truly perfect day. We walked around the grounds of Cockley Cley Hall, then a lovely lunch at The Twenty Church Wardens then on to a leisurely stroll around Gooderstone Water Gardens. Now back home for even more coffee and a nice relaxing read of my current detective novel.
 
Steps, steps, and more steps...
It is a long way up...

Your mother will love her new mobility scooter @dunelm
 
Thank you so much @alf_Josiah
 
Thanks @dunelm
Very useful those sun glasses...
 
Thanks very much @ianpspurs
Playing with the over-glasses now...
 
Good morning everyone from a bit of a dull start here in the dark and dangerous north. There is a robin perched on a fence in the garden - I am looking out, he is looking in. Of course, it could be a Mrs Robin - it’s sat in shadow so I can’t quite see if it is all bright and show-offy or dull and washed out. I expect that when other birds arrive and a war starts that I will know. Eldest granddaughter arrived last night and has swiftly joined Mrs Miggins’ snore choir - they are busy practicing an off the wall version of The Flower Duet. It could of course be Mongol throat singing but whatever, thank goodness for my custom made motorcycle earplugs. Art bit, adding a bit more texture to yesterdays initial sketch. May your day be a good one. I better go and make some koffy.

Thank you @gennepher - there is mobility scooter research going on at present.
May I suggest a couple of things @dunelm
Lithium batteries are much lighter to take off the scooter to recharge.

And the lighter weight scooters, which can be easier to get in and out of the car, often do not have a key. I see many comments which say, I wouldn't have ordered it if I had known it didn't have a key. This becomes a problem if you need to use the bathroom when out and you are on your own, and you have to leave it outside the facility when you go...

Oh, and the mileage. Just like your new car brochure promises that fantastic mileage from the fuel, but disappoints in reality. It's the same with the mobility scooters....

Have fun researching.

………

And great defining detail to your Art bit....
Enjoy that coffee

Welcome to a new week however far into that you are. Cooler here but still bone dry and mild enough for shorts, sandals (no socks) and no thermals. Yesterday JKP presented me with a £5 tracksuit, branded, bagged and labelled - allegedly £50 at full price. So another layer to wear under the salopettes and battery heated coat for when this summer ends. Great fbg @Jojo85 and I hope you also had a good weekend. @dunelm those steps are developing wonderfully but the Grumpy Old Man act fools no one, especially we competitors. Great advice on the mobility scooters @gennepher. I'll comment on any wildlife stories and creatives as they appear in my notifications. Now, having done the basic pitch rolling I must needs perform a final Health and Safety (gorn maaad, just for Nige’s crew) check before JKP arises and 3 - later 4 - precious little Ps are entrusted to our mercy. Y'all know in whose mercy I believe we and they actually reside. If you like a challenge: it has been estimated that we should consume no more than 98g of red meat, 203g of poultry and 196g of fish a week. Anyone fancy precision fermentation for meat, cheese and eggs? Possibly too woke for those currently being thrown about 98g red meat per femtosecond. Stay safe, hydrated, avoid the meedja , those Ai devices that really surveil y'all and stock up on tin foil hats.
