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

6.6 this morning. In the 6s three days in a row. I am so happy. Am also really happy that after meal blood sugars are now not rising very much.

@ianpspurs my preference is also blood sugars in the 4s but after the horrendous blood sugars I am so happy with the 6s. My aim now is to be in the 5s and 6s. Will probably take a while as I am progressing downwards so slowly.

At least I am progressing downwards which is really heartening as I had got really worried that I would have to go back on the insulin.
 
Thanks Ian.

Problem with Blueberry bushes is the birds get the ripe blueberries before I do!

But it may be some other plant!

Thank you...you have a good day.
 
A hug for Neil.

But a win for you .
Despite the low, your experiment seems to be showing a good deal of success in the morning trends.

Well done .
 
Naughty Kiki

And hug for the greenhouse

How annoying when the words of an advert fail so miserably in real life.

Is there anyway Mr slim can help strengthen or reinforce it's rigidity ?
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and thank goodness that one sensible decision has been made by the Blockhead Balmpot Clowns
 
All the best for the impending delivery. Wonderfully atmospheric lighthouse.

Full on Nadine.there. Best quickly check there's no woke snowflakes under that new flooring. Do you greet new people by asking "are you now or have you ever been a #standwithgary member?"

Hi all, rang surgery at 0800 and I was 7th on list but it got down to 1st and the phone didn't answer for ten minutes.
Anyway it's Cellulitis and have got some antibiotics.
Thanks for all your good wishes.

Obviously Cellulitis isn't good news but getting the antibiotics is. Hope they work quickly so peace can be restored to your life. Shalom.

Hi @ianpspurs @dunelm

The doorbell just rang. Midnight has never heard the doorbell before. And I had it right next to me on full blast with an extended tune. Midnight sat bolt upright from being asleep, gave me an evil stare, shot out of the room, shot out of the kitchen and shot out through the catflap, and crashed into the postman's legs, where he was waiting with my plant.

I opened the door to the postman visibly having palpitations, still trying to get his balance back. And patting his chest. Poor lad. He was a newbie. The regular postman was sitting in the post office van, he trains newbies, takes them out on their first rounds. This'll be an easy one for you lad, he would have said...

What was that, the newbie could barely get the words out...

Poor lad, he was laughing too...

I'm still laughing....

Midnight is nowhere to be seen...

And guess what plant it was my daughter from Australia brought me for Mother's Day...a blueberry bush in flower....

This may cause at least one, possibly two , regulars to self combust but after failing to understand what was needed previously and spectacularly imploding with too much hubris on Wednesday I'm not sure what else was to be expected. I'm heartened - actually totally shocked - by the apparent decency of the audience that implies. #HeatherSmallmoment #optimistic

Knowing of your distain for certain media genre


You may have not seen this footage that recently came to light, claiming to be footage of how the tub of lard tried weaning himself of lying weeks before the hearings...

Very sorry to read about the greenhouse, can I suggest you and Mr Slim add some diagonals to the frame work to add some structural integrity. It might not look as nice as before, but if helps the panels stay in situ.

Hi @alf_ the extra struts for stability are diagonal. Today the whole thing was rattling and groaning under stress from the wind. Also one pot of seeds seems to have been blown entirely away while the panels were out overnight. I planted aubergine seeds. But the pot with them in is nowhere to be found. Actually thought i hadn't potted them, but no seed packet, used as label and MrSlim remembers seeing them. Very odd as I would have thought an upturned pot would at least leave a trail of compost.
 
He probably told his postie mates a Black Panther came out your cat flap.
 
Good morning everyone on a pretty dull start to the short weekend here in the dark and dangerous north. Mainly unsupervised yesterday as Mrs Miggins and her sisters were doing that ‘ladies who lunch’ thing. They must need the practice as they give it a go every month. Clocks going forward tonight - but with what, I don’t know. Perhaps this is another opportunity for someone to declare how much tax they paid last year while we are distracted. I wonder if HMRC do discount cards? Art bit, adding some details. Hope your day is a good one - in places at least. I shall savour some koffy together with the quiet of the morning.
