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

Lovely and very atmospheric painting @gennepher
 
Hope that Newcastle sorts out your pacemaker very quickly Derek.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen, RIP goonergirl.

Bloods yesterday were 5.6 and this morning were a slice of granddaughters home made birthday cake inspired 6.1 .
You know I don’t care, they could have been well into the teens, sometimes you have to live life and once in a birthday cake blue moon is fine in my opinion, hold on I’ve got another grandchild’s birthday on the 21st of this month, oh goody more homemade birthday cake.

Now sorry but I need to ingest medication and more importantly safety koffy, before much longer.
Mrs J bless her cotton sock is muttering about lawns to mow, I might need to hide in my sheds.
To those who are and will be battling the medics today, you have my best wishes.

Stay safe all.

Ps nice paintings.
 
Doesn't sound pleasant .

Hope it's an easy fix

And I hear you loud & clear about the little stones
 
Didn't get to bed at a reasonable time last night/this morning. Got caught up in following family history leads and kept telling myself to stop, and then found another lead. So, slept until 6 am. BG then was 7.5. Fell asleep again after taking pain killers and dragged myself to the surface between 8 am and 9. BG then was 8.7.

Just had breakfast and checked my BP as well. Not particularly good but I have not been taking my diuretic pills recently. I suppose I should. Not that BP is much worse than it usually is, but perhaps I should try to get it down a bit.
 
Drum roll - 5.9 this morning. We are off to Gooderstone Water Gardens today for the first time this year.

@ianpspurs the rest is going well. Lots of reading and relaxing and not too much admin. Have done lots of walking 14K steps a day.
Good news all round and here comes the sun over the Exotic East
 
I hope coffee was first...
 
I hope you can get that sorted very quickly x
 
Thanks Ian.

Perhaps you could have some time for yourself this afternoon?...

When I read your post the words of the nursery rhyme 'One man went to mow,
went to mow a meadow' popped into my head. I have absolutely no idea why.

Had to edit the post because predictive text decided to rewrite it.

Predictive text gets very inventive, and sneaks its changes in when you press send...
 
Good morning everyone on a clouding over start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. Another stroll into town yesterday to check on the funicular. People working on it so still closed. It is run by volunteers and they hope to get it operating by the weekend. I think that it may just be cosmetics. Bus home but still managed 4 miles. The grandchildren from brum will be here mid day. What fun. Art bit, another one finished. Have the best day that you can, best make some koffy now.
