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

I am afraid Midnight refuses to step on the scales, but the day he does, I will let you know.

He is one ball of solid muscle when he does that....

KissyKissy never gives up.

Midnight is certainly not fazed by fox or badger, maybe he had been living in the ancient woodlands round here for some time @jjraak
 
No - definitely not. Em's here and we just had a very interesting conversation about false information being put onto social media. Em already has the attitude of a skeptic - she gets that from her parents and from me, but she does believe in love and kindness to all creatures, even if they are fearsome to you (like spiders). She has heard about a theory that the world is to end this year because some rock, somewhere, has split and has let the devil out! She doesn't believe it although she does think the world is in a precarious state right now.
 
Better to get that message than to get "consult a doctor re cardio results".
 
Good morning everyone, still too dark to see outside but we have been promised a no rain scenario here in the dark and dangerous north. Bloods - yes, I still have some, 5.1 this morning. Remembrance Sunday so we are off to a local service. Later, who knows. Art bit - adding some scratchy detail. Have a wonderful day if you can. I am now going to have an early koffy.


 
Fbg 9.1

I had a bad reaction to one of the ingredients in one of the things I bought in the Polish shop. I didn't see the way one of the ingredients was listed. And it was printed in English. I had read sunflower oil (which I am okay with), but when I checked the ingredient list again (when I could get off the toilet), further down the ingredient list (it was split into 3 sections. The 3rd section was apart from the other two, and in very small writing in brackets like this was the word (rape). My brain never registered that it was rapeseed oil when I was checking before I bought it. So I was ill all day yesterday. I had diarrhoea, stomach pains, stomach ache, hot flushes (they are meant to be a thing of the past now)and bad heartburn. This is every time I eat something with rapeseed oil in, and it is in pretty much everything now. I went to buy some sliced meat in Lidl last week, and it was listed in ham and beef sliced meat.

Oh, and I have powdered bone broth, I bought it awhile ago before I realised rapeseed oil was an issue for me. It didn't make me feel good when I used it, stomach ache and needing the toilet (still in date for another year). i checked the ingredients last night. Rapeseed oil was in the powdered bone broth.

I am losing weight over this. I can afford to lose some weight...

This morning I am off any food totally. There might be another side effect for me linked to the rapeseed oil. It might be the thing that is affecting my taste buds. Before I had that reaction yesterday to the rapeseed oil in that food, my grapes tasted delicious and sweet. I cannot eat the grapes now, they are far too sour. I am not sure what I will be able to eat today.

I will post this now and do my usual post in a few minutes.

back in a bit...

Explanations for that in my post above.

Wildlife trail cameras of the night life in my back garden.
Midnight, my cat, sits on the swing a lot a night.
Jade, a stray cat, I have fed for some years, went missing for 5 months at the beginning of 2022, but came back. However she wouldn't let me approach her, but recently has started to become more confident. Midnight keeps an eye open for Jade. He makes sure she eats...it seems like she is considering getting on the swing to take Midnight's place as he is on there much less in the night now he sleeps on me or in the kitchen.


I was lucky I was awake in the middle of the night, because I got a text off my daughter, who I am usually talking with on Skype at this moment. I would have worried when she was not answering. Widespread power outage, due to savage storms in Adelaide and the surrounding area. My daughter had gone into work where there was a generator and was charging up everything there. So we had a quick immediate text conversation. Her phone coverage is nil at home unless she can use the wi fi, and obviously that is down. They have been told to expect and plan for an extended power outage. How the heck do you plan for something like that when you are bang in the middle of it?

I think I need to plan a wee bit more for our supposed power outages in January/February 2023.

Creative is an autumn painting in Procreate.
Have the best day you can...

Sorry, the site won't let me insert a pic of my painting, neither a full nor thumbnail image. Tried 3 times. Be back later to try. Unless I find another way...

Beautiful detail @dunelm
enjoy your coffee...
 
That is so horrible @gennepher. Hope you start feeling a lot better very soon. It is actually quite worrying for anyone with an allergy that lists of ingredients are often so hard to decipher
 
Hello everyone from a currently grey and misty start to the day here in Uncle Sam's outpost within the Exotic East of England. Good news from Nevada imho. @gennepher very gentle hug for the gastric issues. I assume you have carried out a lat flow test just in case? Thank you for persisting until you could share that autumnal creative. Keep up the fluid intake today. @dunelm wonderful fbg and art. I hope the balance of your memories, thoughts and emotions this Remembrance Sunday is positive. @Krystyna23040 enjoy Sheringham Park and any Bush tucker coffee or sausage rolls you may win in your trials. As I type, I am drinking my black tea. England have taken a wicket and shortly the oven which JKP set last night will begin cooking the goose. Thanks be to God for His mercies to me. Enjoy your own unique mercies and pleasures today. Same place tomorrow everyone?

Yes thanks @ianpspurs
Lateral flow test is negative.
Yup, up the fluids.
I have a mugga tea next to me, and a cuppa hot water. So half hot water with each mugga tea today.
Otherwise my fluid won't be upped enough....

Mugga is probably not a word, but the word cuppa tea sounds nice and friendly ...

Enjoy that goose...
