Must have been when you reached 5000; posts?
Must have been when you reached 5000; posts?Happy Birthday JKP. You have as a good a day as you can as well Ian.
Just this moment noticed that I am no longer described as a "well known member" but as "Expert". When did I become an expert at anything? Jill of all trades me, and master of none, that's me.
Thanks Derek. Too sedentary for me but I'm comparing myself to my father and grandfather. Especially my father post heart attack shinning up trees and pruning with a hand saw at 80.May the day go well for your better half and yourself Ian and you both have true shalom.
You seem to lead A very busy life Ian may you keep well and have a lasting remission.

Sounds like my brother - 81 in November, major heart surgery last April and back to gardening, DIY, shopping, walking and next month taking a cruise to these Northern places. Puts me to shame.Thanks Derek. Too sedentary for me but I'm comparing myself to my father and grandfather. Especially my father post heart attack shinning up trees and pruning with a hand saw at 80.
Thanks for the good wishes for JKP and good washes for you. Thanks for sharing the art. Is that a sampan? - samplan for moi was an entirely different song I think.Good afternoon everyone from a bright and sunny afternoon here in the dark and dangerous north. Happy Birthday to JKP and a happy mug of tea for Mrs Miggins and I. Ought to be back to whatever normal is by tomorrow but first the washing machine needs feeding and the gardening and recycling bins need putting out. Art bit on the plane, have a boat.

Thank you Ian, and Happy Birthday to JKP!Morning all from a chilly L.A. on JKP's birthday. A day to say it with flowers, cake and cards - one of which is my comfort zone. MIL to look after - she has a chest infection - school run and feeding later so exploring what this town has to offer has been interesting and revealing. Thanks for the good wishes yesterday. The scan went well but the results are the thing. @gennepher thanks for sharing the latest creative. @jjraak I assume that masterpiece is in the style of Attenborough. I'm noticing the one day delay from Monday which yesterday's low cal day - logistical nightmare. Not helped by taking grandson swimming at short notice - I come over all prickly if I have to eat after 6.00 pm (another reason why I really, really, really need to lean on The Lord when the Wales thing happens) Enjoy your day and a prayer that I've judged how to negotiate the day as well as I/we can for JKP. Apparently, you can't just (only) throw money at some things. Who knew? Lyrics _ very much my comfort zone

Really love the British canal system. Am hoping and planning to live there again.Sounds like you know the real nature of a canal side ramble.
It was on the flat mostly.
But i have to admit, I fiddled with the bikes gear linkage a few days before and didn't get it right, so in my rush to be out, I didn't have a reliable change in the lower gears, so the BIG climbs defeated me.
The bridges don't seem much to look at, but it looked liked seasoned commuters took the climbs as a real challenge, and they left many red faced with the effort, so I didn't feel so bad.
The ride was however, most enjoyable none the less .
Happy birthday to your lord and master Mrs Ian PMorning all from a chilly L.A. on JKP's birthday. A day to say it with flowers, cake and cards - one of which is my comfort zone.

Just a thought @Annb Do you think that your higher readings could be due to your joint pain? As you know Diabetes is a multi faceted thing that not only reacts to food but to stress and many other stimuli. You have no doubt considered this ut sometimes we get tunnel vision and get fixed on food / carbs and forget that other things play a part. Your carb intake is quite low but you levels don't seem to react in tge way you would expect so nay be stress or pain are partly responsible.Horrid day today. Lots to be done but not much managed. Baked some choc chip cookies and a tray of brownies. Made my bed but didn't get any of the washing put away. Tomorrow I must do that and I must make a lemon cake and do prep for some dainty sandwiches for the Friday afternoon tea that I've let myself in for. Legs and back ridiculously painful so I had to keep on resting between more of the shoulder squaring.
BG has stayed consistently high all day on not very much to cause it. I sometimes think just handling bad-for-me food without eating it, still makes my BG jump. I do remember that, when I stopped eating chocolate to try to avoid migraines, one night I had a very vivid dream of eating a Mars bar ... and woke up with a migraine! Just didn't seem fair.

You could be right. Certainly the pain level has increased dramatically in the past few weeks - actually ever since I started on the "Move More" classes run by our local council. Don't know if it has anything to do with that but I don't think so, the worst of the pain isn't in the bits that have been exercised. It's a measure of the increase that I've found myself praying for strength to bear it - never did that before.. No point praying for it to go away - the damage was done years ago. BG this morning was 10.9. Had to change the sensor, so no further news on that front. I could use the fingerprick but haven't bothered. 10.9 Libre reading would be about 12 on the fingerprick test.
