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

10.09
8.55 FBG 6.2
Out for a meal with neighbours last night. Huge quantity of delicious food provided so expected higher result this morning.
Lost a gold earring yesterday so back to the shops to ask if it's been handed in. Small hope, but you never know.
 
This is amazing, I love it @dunelm
To me, this series,(and by the way, may I download them please), is the beginning of a meditation. Drinking my tea now, sitting quietly and half focusing on this painting, and it takes me up the steps to explore in my mind what is at the top of the stairs....


I hope your journey is a good one.
 

Good that Midnight offered you a warning yesterday rather than just attack then held out an olive branch today. Definitely looks scary in the front view but a handsome chap in the rear view. Enjoy your day.

That was the strongest warning I have ever had from him .
He is very good now in not going straight for attack mode which he did in the first place when he came to me. It gives me the confidence to try something he might not like, if it is for his own health good.

His fur is really beautiful today by the way. The healthiest it has ever been.

That was lovely that olive branch this morning.

Thank you very much Ian.

You have the best day you can.
 
Manhug for the horror of what is laughing called the UK transport system.

Best wishes for the flight & onward travels.

And, at the risk of seeming rude & ungrateful (I am but a mere peasant, around art )

I really liked all your other 'stoneworks" anthology.

But have to confess I felt slightly underwhelmed at the current one pre filling in.

Others I thought would have been very acceptable at that stage, but I found that one cluttered & busy to my eye

What a fool I was to judge so early .

That looks glorious.

I find it hard to see how anyone can capture such a scene with paint, that looks so much like a photograph.


Accept my humble apologies for ever doubting your skill & final rendering.

Afternoon all.

A morning of reviewing my independent medical notes.
For transfer to 3rd parties.

Actually received other day, heavy bundle.
And a casual flip through the sheets put me in a bit of a funk.

Spent last few days anxious, angry & agonising over the content....

Finally sat down to dissect details.

One that started my anxiety was the statement I didn't attend my appointments.

But in other sections that's been made Clear it was:

A. Unfeasible as I needed specialist ambulance crew to help transfer me.

(Sat in transportation hub at hospital for 9 hours Xmas on a chair waiting for such a team to become available )
And even the reports states it was a difficult transfer due to stairs, my condition & suitability of mechanical wheelchair (think panzer thank )

B. I was actually IN hospital at the time (2nd visit after wounds became infected )

So I worried a few days unnecessarily..
Note to self: Read..THEN worry

Dissected report.
Some points incorrect, some needed clarifying.

Just felt for a while the world was against me.

What a Wally ..I know I'm tougher then that..but still, I began digging in & wasting unneeded energies ..wasteful .

So the upshot is it's now much better day then it stated ..

Suns shining here in the Capital.

Lots of pomp & pageantry for the tourists & locals.

A time of change.

Hope you all have the best of days

Nice sounding meal @SlimLizzy

Sometimes we just have to let the bon viveur in us out occasionally.

Life is meant for living, after all.

Hugs for the earing....
Best wishes on finding it .
 
Truly becoming the Cat Whisper, @gennepher ..

They say black cats are lucky.

I wonder if Midnight realises how much he hit the jackpot with you..?

Sure he does...
You don't get worshipped down the centuries by being stupid .

Admittedly cats have had to adapt & up their game as us humans changed...but it's pretty much, the Same Role...
 
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all who appreciate just how much our royal family mean to tourism, the income they generate, in my opinion far out strips their cost and also the check they provide on those rabid self serving politicians. Wow that was a bit blunt, no apologies.

Bloods this morning were 4.9, whoops to low to ride my motorcycle , after eating something they rose up 8.9. No insulin shot.
37 miles later bloods were 9.3, insulin taken along with koffy and a vegan bacon sarnie. Koffy is a must for most motorcyclists, or tea. A biking friend has a koffy cup holder on his bike and hopefully attached is a picture.
.
Also a picture of the completed shields, axes and broadsword ( for now. Mrs J did the fiddly painting on the shields.
.
After I got back to Tilehurst Towers Mrs J, bless her cotton socks, but nothing else told me I had to fix the cool box who’s handle keeps coming off. For the technical amongst you M6 coach bolts and domed nuts playing host to spring washers. No pictures of said cool box.
Stay safe all and safe travels and hugs where required.

Big hugs for the report, and the shock you got reading you 'didn't attend' some appointments, but then it sort of mitigates that with reasons why later on in the report. It was completely rediculous being in a hospital, those kind of access problems. Anyone would have got that shock reading that in the report, and frozen awhile and worried...


Why it was necessary to write it in that way completely eludes me, and so, more big gentle hugs for you @jjraak
 
Now there's an optimistic biker....
Holder ...secure
Cup...secure
Lid....secu....aaagghh...screams biker behind .


Lovely looking armoury

Every kid should have a grandad like You...

I was thinking along those same lines with the absence of a lid....

Yup, great armoury from @alf_Josiah for the grandkids
 

Grandchildren should be very pleased with those and feel very blessed to have such a talented grandfather.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and I arrived safely at my parents house.
 
What a hoot - petulant cat turns into rock and roller. My dad, who suffered for years with dry, flaky skin on his head started using coconut oil after mum read about it some years ago - no more dry, flaky skin but he does smell like a bounty bar . Smashing illustration.
