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

@ianpspurs shocking that the van drove off. Hope the police find the driver soon. So good that your son and grandaughter were not injured. Somehow that's hard to believe. They must have been badly frightened if nothing else. Hugs to both

Yes, it was fun. My favourite one was a caller enquiring if I had been involved in an accident. I said that I had but had to go up into the loft and find the paperwork.

Hilary was there at the time and we were both laughing when Mr K walked in. When I told him why, he unmuted the phone and the caller told him that 'the lady had gone into the loft to get the paperwork'. Mr K explained that 'the lady should not have answered the phone as this was The Home for the Bewildered '. The caller apologised and said that he would take us off the list.

Both Hilary and I were laughing hysterically as this was so true as we had been puzzling over the accounts at the time.
 
13.1 this morning at 4.25. Not good, but at least Neil is recovering fast - apart from his volice - it's coming out as a deep croak. But he's out checking the car over at the moment. I'm still a bit breathless but feeling OK other than my left leg which is still being difficult after overworking it on Tuesday. It'll recover in time, so no worries. Just having another cup of tea before rushing around to clear the floors - my cleaner said she would come this morning.

I came back home exhausted yesterday and crashed out until late evening. I am late this morning and my sleep is out of kilter.

Midnight is on the ground watching Foxy Loxy.
Foxy Loxy is not coming out from the bush until cat, Midnight, has gone.
He keeps peering out anxiously...


Creative is an autumnal landscape in Procreate.

I need some more sleep before I start the day, and Midnight concurs. He is already heavily sleeping on top of my legs...

More tea from my flask...

Have the best day you are able to.

Take care...

 
Good that Neil is recovering fast and that you are feeling reasonably OK after overdoing things yesterday.
 
Lovely painting. Hope you get the sleep you need today @gennepher

Hugs for all the things going on out of reach across the Channel from you @SlimLizzy
You are doing well with your French.
 
Thank you Ian.
That was some scare for son, granddaughter, and you.
That is unfortunate JKP testing positive for Covid.
Trust that He will help and guide you in the best possible way, even though there may feel uncertainty @ianpspurs
 
A brilliant quick sketch @dunelm
Enjoy your last day.
 
Absolutely brilliant @Krystyna23040
 
I think I have caught up with all the posts, but my eyes keep going to sleep...
So apologies if I have missed anyone out.
A bottomless basket of 'hugs' here in case I have.
Take care x
 
Good late national bin day Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who worship at the feet of the oversleeping god. Waking at 6:00am then falling back asleep and not waking till well gone 8:00am, such a waste of a morning.
.
Blood sugars this morning were 5.4 a number divisible by 2 and 3, therefore not a prime number. More useless information.
.
Here in Tilehurst Towers we are preparing for a busy few days, hopefully with much hilarity and naughtiness, Mrs J bless her cotton fangs has purchased fodder, some diabetic friendly and some not and later today will be cooking and freezing meals. Mrs J will also be practicing her her second fluent language, swearing as me, me’s and myself make husbandly suggestions.
.
Now I must depart and get on with my abnormal life which will probably involve receiving black looks, shaking of heads and tutting.
Congratulations to those suffering anniversaries and hugs to those under the weather.
Whoops Mrs J is talking at me, shame listening mode is not engaged.
Stay safe all.

Second son's birthday and the anniversary of Errants death. Kiki is a delight (except when she misses the litter tray) but can never replace him.
Didn't make it to the coffee morning yesterday. On tuesday MrSlim and I went to get new passport photos taken. After first attempt the machine announced that my pictures did not conform to the standard required. Neither of us could work out why. Two more attempts allowed. Slight variations but still deemed unacceptable. MrSlim is going to apply with one of them anyway...

Today I resolve yet again to finish the bed curtains started over a month ago. Probably needs thirty mins on the sewing machine, but there is always something else more urgent, satisfying, or outside that gets priority. (Kiki needs hours of laptime still. She is very demanding and persistent- repeatedly climbing up my legs, ouch sharp claws, until I do give in and cuddle her ) Still we have completed three improvements outside in about ten days. I say we, but MrSlim did most of the work really. All these projects involved moving rocks and stones so very heavy work. The new stone path to the woodshed will make life less messy when the winter rains start. Kiki loves it - she really dislikes wet grass under her paws and the woodshed is her adventure playground. MrSlim estimates the stones we moved yesterday to build the new cheese shaped herb bed at about four tonnes.
 
When Marjorie went to local Lidl and Coop yesterday she was the only one wearing a mask.
No one wears a mask in local chemists it's not surprising COVID is spreading.
Only at the doctor's one wears a mask but all you get now is a nurse practitioner.

Where have all the doctor's gone?
A lot have retired and the conservative government wouldn't pay for training more.
My eldest is 60 next September and could retire.
D.
 
Good morning@SlimLizzy. If you hover your curser over the "like" the other icons appear. Best wishes.
 
Good morning from a rainy Breckland. That wasn't supposed to happen but there does seem to be a common thread weaving its way through family P just now. 38 years ago it was a beautifully sunny day, at least in Cambs. We have the pictures and DVD for evidence. Far too many of the guests now rejoice on a another shore and in a greater light.Thank you so much for the concern shown for JKP, my son and granddaughter. This is such a supportive thread which shows the better angels of our nature in this demented era. @SlimLizzy our son was shaken up but we looked after the little one next day who was fine but kept saying daddy's car is broken. Happy birthday to your son. @Jojo85 good to see you back and the 6s will be fine. @dunelm thank you for the art and good wishes for our anniversary. That course sounds as though it has been helpful. @Krystyna23040 great story of both phone calls but hug for Archie today. @Annb good news on Neil recovering and I hope the leg recovers as quickly. @gennepher thank you for the wonderful autumnal art ( in the style of the Fauve's in my addled mind but art experts will know better) and the kindness in your post. Take care of yourselves.
