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

5.8 this morning. Really enjoyed going back to work yesterday. Feel really tired this morning - will definitely need lots of coffee to keep me going today.
 
Wow @gennepher -:I am really impressed.
 
Thanks @ianpspurs
I think the getting up from the floor was the major achievement of the two!
Summer sounds good!
 
Fbg 6.6

Had a set back with the small trail cam. The batteries ran out in the night, the night before last. I thought they were supposed to last months. Yes Duracell batteries were used. But when I check on reviews, I find people are only expecting it to be triggered off once or twice in the night, hence their batteries do last months. My small trail cam is triggered off at the least 400, up to 600 times in the night. And is recording 30 second videos at a time. So it was a miracle they were lasting as long as they did. So no vids from the small trail cam. Large trail cam, that was up and working the same night. So, thought I would get something from that. As usual it was blinking useless. It picked up about 20 videos the entire night, and each was of Midnight shaking the moths away who land on him. I knew there had been wild life activity in the night, especially from the fox poop left on the ground (which would have been in full view of the large trail cam), but it picked nothing up. And it's battery is still at 95%.

So, for last night, I took the batteries out of the large trail cam (it has 8 batteries) and put the 4 needed in the small trail cam. I am just looking through the first 20 videos, and by 22:05:22 (pm) I have the first good one. I still have another 400 odd 30sec videos to trawl through, but it is lovely watching them. There is one funny one where Midnight is slow blinking the trail cam. There is a red led type display that comes on when it is triggered off (I though nothing was supposed to come on to show the camera was there, but it doesn't upset any of the animals...). So here is a still from that video, and a link to the full 30sec thing on YouTube.

Now I need a cuppa and some food (yes I forgot to eat again yesterday with the plumbing crisis...)

You all have your best day.





 
Thanks for sharing the photo and video. The hug is for the batteries running out so quickly which isn't surprising given the number of videos per night and also for forgetting to eat. I hope the food you have or had is divine darling, simply divine.

Thanks very much Ian

You tube is amazing for finding out how to fix things - have done loads of stuff when hubby is away
 
Hello....

Am I the only one seeing a whole new look to the forum ?

Has it been hacked
Blinking heck.
It wouldn't let me in saying I didn't have permission.
Finally I got in...
I DON'T LIKE IT
IT IS NOT EASY TO READ...

It is doing my head in...
I need to redesign this....
Can I change my display to white on black ?
Would that be better....

I do not like the like button only showing a few icons. These are pathetic, and do not allow an expression how I feel about someone's post. Far too limited. Might as well not express anything with them.

Oh fizzlesticks.
This is worse than useless.
It is wasting my time trying to get back in even though I left it open on my browser, it logged me out and messed me about in several different ways trying to get in again. Beginning with that I didnt have permission, and an oops there is nothing here.
And then finally after a whole rigamarole taking well over five minutes, it took me to the very beginning of this thread...

It needs to stay open in the browser for ease of communication.

Bye.
This is a stressful time waster that I can do without.
It wasn't broke before.
It was efficient and easy to read before.
I cannot read this display screen now, I do not know where I am with it.
I have dyslexia and this new layout is no good for me to read and understand.
I cannot take it in.


I'll come back some time next week.
I won't be logging in for a few days at least.
Perhaps the logging in will get sorted by next week at least.
I hope this is a temporary bye bye...

EDIT.
i guess they are moving things around still

For White lettering on a BLACK Background..(i prefer it to the whiter shades of the new one )

IF on Mobile
go to hamburger menu header page at top of page
and click on the YOU icon (small chess piece )
then PREFERENCES

OF on L:aptop (& pc most likely)
Go to AVATAR at TOP Right of page.
click it
then go preferences

Pick DARK theme.

as for logging in.

i wonder if it's the same issue.

i leave site, like before.

but when i return it show me HOME page of forum (Red one)
and requests a LOG IN


BUT when i go to log back IN..
it tells me I am already logged in
Click HERE to return to the forum list.

and i'm back in without logging back in...

a glitch or just something to be aware of..who knows
