Good to see you here and I'm delighted you enjoyed the tuna melt. There's your rookie error . LC isn't meant to be enjoyed: if it ain't hurting it ain't working. Goes something like this - in pidgin coding. Start: repeat forever: if input not = "salmon salad" print "too high carb or nasty taste" else print "yeehaw" : RunGood morning all. No testing today. Yesterday I went for my HbA1c blood test at midday. Whilst out of the house we decided to do some local food shopping. Instead of waiting for my usual salad lunch at home we ate out and had a warm, crispy tuna melt baguette and black tea. Not sensible given my present high blood sugars I know but I really enjoyed it.I reckon I did well to resist the many tempting cakes on display! Also bought my first stocking filler gift for next Christmas! Next task is to collate relevant information ready for my GP appointment next Thursday to discuss my test results and future actions. Best wishes to you for today and the week-end ahead.
Bravo for the turning around the cochlear implant from a NUISANCE to a source of life improving info gathering .I agree with @Krystyna23040
You will always improve on where you are now.
And you have done amazingly @jjraak
And while not the same thing, it has taken me and my brain a long time to come to terms with my cochlear implant. Where I went from no hearing to being able to hear sound all the time.
You have seen my posts where I have grumbled and hated it.
Finally in the last few months, about 15 years after the op (they did say they hadn't done anyone profoundly deaf since birth, and I was 60 years old, so I was an experiment), I can now more fully understand what hearing means.
I think it has taken this long for my brain to make connections that you learn as a baby and child growing up, because my brain had no experience or background for this, to make any connections.
There's so many things I now understand what hearing and sounds can tell you.
Just one I will mention. Mr Insensitive, Christmas Lights neighbour, has a dog, which barked so much, it drove me insane. And Mr Insensitive is always shouting at the dog, and sometimes you can hear a squeal from the dog. But that dog is an information giver by her barks. She knows when delivery drivers are in the area, or even the postman, and she has a different kind of bark for each one. And now I have learnt to know when the postman is in the area, and if I am expecting a parcel, I am ready at the door, waiting for the postman who is surprised to see me waiting. And I also know when the Amazon delivery driver is in the area, so now I do not need to look at my mobile all day to see where my parcel is, that dog barks a particular kind of bark for the Amazon delivery driver, and I know the delivery driver is within 2 to 4 stops away from me. That is how precise the information that dog is giving out and I get up and I go to the door and the Amazon delivery driver is quite surprised to see me!
I know which of her barks are not relevant to me now. And instead of grumbling like heck when she barks, and getting worked up about it, I give a little thank you prayer for her being an information giver. Her barking doesn't annoy me now. I know she is doing her job.
It has taken my brain/neural pathways nearly 15 years to work this out. It probably had to learn other things in order to get to this point.
So, your body @jjraak will be constantly working out, unbeknownst to you, with new neural information giver pathways to restore your body to the best possible capabilities. And it will go on for ever doing this..
And that IS the way to do itGood morning all. No testing today. Yesterday I went for my HbA1c blood test at midday. Whilst out of the house we decided to do some local food shopping. Instead of waiting for my usual salad lunch at home we ate out and had a warm, crispy tuna melt baguette and black tea.

I chose to use Find My Past for family history work because I was a bit frustrated with Ancestry when I tried their free 14 day offer and backed out of it. Not too keen on FMP either, but I need one of them to go alongside the Family Search site. I am on the cheapest one because it's all I can afford just now and that is frustrating because all the really interesting stuff is on the more costly ones and most of the hints they offer are on those ones as well. They also managed to shut me out of one of my trees and lose a whole section of the other. The Mormon site is quite useful though.Fbg was 7.5 not sure why as yesterday's carb total was under 50 grams but still give it time and hopefully will get it back down eventually not heard from DN yet.
Spent a bit of time perusing family tree on Ancestry dot com yesterday and with all the interest in animals on here something caught my eye.
It was this little rhyme "
the Catte, the Ratte and Lovell our dogge
rulyth all Englande under a hogge.
Penned by one Sir William Collingbourne an ancestor of mine in 1484 and pinned to the door of St. Pauls Cathedral.
Evidently Richard III (the Hogge) was not best pleased as poor old rebellious William ended up on Tower hill Hung Drawn and Quartered
It seems his last words uttered with his last breath were "Oh Lord Jesus, yet more trouble!"
We the tax payer are also on the hook for £240k legal fees for Johnson to be mendacious about partygate. Hancock is like the unfortunate boy on the pushbike caught in a county lines operation by comparison.Police worked quickly
I was eliminated from their enquiries as soon as I got there, due to lack of interest
Seems once they realised what a hard working grafter the MP was, it didn't make sense so many might hate him....so they gave up looking.
( Very much well practised it seems, after all the many many party gates, etc )
I mean, sure the charity got cash ..but I'm sure as eggs is eggs, it's on expenses somewhere as a 'neccessary' living cost (Amazon ? ..mmhh)
So everyone wins.
Long may he live.
(So he can forever be shunned )
Matt Hancock paid £320K for I'm a Celebrity appearance
The former health secretary says he donated £10,000 of the fee to two charities.www.bbc.co.uk
I like to think he's the accountant, thrown to wolves to delay the hunt.We the tax payer are also on the hook for £240k legal fees for Johnson to be mendacious about partygate. Hancock is like the unfortunate boy on the pushbike caught in a county lines operation by comparison.
Thank you @Krystyna23040love your painting @dunelm
I suspect Johnson is, like Trump, a very useful mouthpiece for people with real money, power and influence. Neither will ever be accepted into the circles that really matter because they can be so easily seen through - cheap and grasping. They have probably served their purpose but will be protected from the full force of the law. Them's my onions anyhow.I like to think he's the accountant, thrown to wolves to delay the hunt.
That realises his predicament & squeals, bringing down our own Capone and all his merry henchmen .
And like rod Stewart, he changes his mind about ' *not wanting to talk about it ' real soon ...

Not a Coffey fan then? Johnson and Truss' deals already hurt the East Anglian beet barons They're also ditching spud growing as unprofitable. Very few areas can grow salad like these guys and they may decant to Spain. Look at the drop down language options to see their workforce. Best wishes with stopping the tide Suella. Not sure about the meat rearing option for the environment Derek. Room for honest debate there imho what with emissions and feedstuff production.. To be grass fed in UK law only needs 51% and that's now before TC has been, shall we say, destructively creative.Not only are they grabbing all the wealth they are ditching their share of the planet to up their gains.
That woman who views the world through a haze of smoke is happy to ditch the good regulations of the E.U. to give all the poison she can to farmers so they can poison the environment to give us more sugar and get rid of our insects.
Stop growing sugar beet and grow more meat!
The reason I started the family tree was to find out about my fathers family who I new virtually nothing about and had not ever had any contact with and Ancestry was the first site I came upon and have just stuck with them since I have used FMP in the past Ancestry has over time expanded there data bases and search facilities.I chose to use Find My Past for family history work because I was a bit frustrated with Ancestry when I tried their free 14 day offer and backed out of it. Not too keen on FMP either, but I need one of them to go alongside the Family Search site.

I just hope politicians will not keep overriding consensus science and heed the warning signs of terrible climate change and exploitation of soils.Not a Coffey fan then?

Thanks @lindisfelAmazing results!
Yes, @gennepher it is so brilliant how the body goes on forever working to restore itself.I agree with @Krystyna23040
