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

Thanks @SlimLizzy I'll get some of that for next time.
Ah, it is on Amazon. I've ordered some, coming tomorrow. Fireworks goes on pretty much all week here...at least.
I just remembered I bought a box of pet homeopathic remedies for cats, for Popeye. There is one I can use to calm a cat....
 
Drawing you in even further @dunelm

Hope Monday's visit goes well.
 
Oh my goodness @ianpspurs
That is hilarious.
Yup I got captions for it!
 
We have just had the first loud firework at 17:52
Midnight was startled.
He is on my tummy, and purring his head off.
He can stay here all night if the bangs go on.
I need music streamed to my head now so I cannot hear the firework explosions. Vibrations of explosions bring back bad feelings and emotions and memories of a traumatic time for me. As they must do so for many others.
 
Here is Kiki on MrSlims lap, exhausted after being rescued four times in an hour from the same tree. She didn't learn how to get down, but knowing how to be rescued without scratching and biting is an improvement. Was it yesterday I left her to find her own way down from a different tree. One with a prop so she should have been ok, but instead she elected for the long drop - of several metres. Now am not happy to leave her when she is crying to get down.
 
I had one cat who could climb up but never learnt how to climb down @SlimLizzy
But I think Kiki will learn how to get down. She will find her own technique...
 
Such a gorgeous picture.

Loving the contented look, safe in Mr slims arm...<heart>

Cat, Midnight, snarls at the badger I call Kissy Kissy.
But she comes back again for almost nose to nose contact...
At the far end of the swing on the ground near the end, you will see a pair of eyes. These belong to cat Jade, who is wandering around the same time as the badger.


Creative is autumn.
Well, the painting in Procreate is not yet finished, but I ran out of time (because YouTube was playing up with me as I was uploading the above video.). I need to get on with the day.
And so I tried a photo of my bedroom door and did a double exposure, with the painting on top.
I quite like this.
I will finish the painting for tomorrow!

Have a good day.
A large black cat needs feeding and I need a cuppa.

Large black cat kept me warm all night. He was hugging my chest. The firework noise was relentless, but I think he was calmed by my heartbeat.

Have a good day.

 
Good morning everyone from what may be cunningly disguised as a “nice day” here in the dark and dangerous north. A smattering of sunshine is just the ticket to lure one out before it all clouds over and you wish that you had put on your string or liberty vest. Or both! - there is no such thing as bad weather though, just the wrong clothes. Probably proven by fashionably wearing Ugg Boots when it’s chucking it down with freezing winter rain. Still, it’s a stroll along the promenade this morning and perhaps watch the RNLI Sunday lifeboat drills. Please let’s have a tourist who can’t read the signs parking on the slipway - always a bit of fun as the submersible tractor pushes the odd 4WD down the ramp. Art bit - best start colouring in now. Have a smashing Sunday if you can. My koffy is now consumed.


 
good news on minimal side effects but make sure to take any breaks you can.
Of course you can guess that I didn't and also did too much demonstrating of deep slow squats. So today, although the tiredness has gone I now have some sore leg muscles. I don't usually get sore muscles so maybe this is a vaccine side effect.
Although maybe it is because this week was extra busy. I had several 18K+ days and demonstrated probably nearly 200 really slow squats.
 
That is so sad. No wonder she was so upset.

This happened at my venue in Norwich. The class member didn't see the cat asleep under her car. I rang the RSPCA to ask if I could take it in for them to scan for a chip and inform the owner. They said no and advised me to throw it in the dustbin.

I couldn't do that so rang one of the church elders to ask for his vet's telephone number. He very kindly rushed over and took the cat to his vet. The lady who owned the cat was so grateful that she was able to bury her cat. She said that the cat was deaf and wouldn't have heard the car start up.

A lot of depth now to this long walkway...

Enjoy your walk @dunelm
 
It is important to know what happened to your cat. To give we some closure as well.
@lindisfel Yes, it was sad about that white cat
