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

This is a good review. My take on his main argument was that we eat food not Macronutrients and scary sounding lists of ingredients. He is big on the Ks - (not the Khalsa ones) Kimchi, Kombucha, Kefir and Kruat (sauer) as well as cheese (smelly and/or blue) and yogurt (Greek ideally) red wine is also part of his good stuff all as part of a healthy gut. Allegedly helpful with immunotherapy hence my interest. I'm just celebrating the win with a jigger (yes of course I measured and analysed it) of this. MIL gave me a bottle for my birthday - plenty good enough for the price point especially reduced on a nectar card offer. Not sure what the reviewers who downrated it expect for the price and description - matured in red wine casks is a clue peeps.

Really interesting article @ianpspurs
 
I sorted Mailwasher on Mr Ks new computer and got it working without having to call for help from my Tech people.

Actually it was quite easy as it was working ok on my computer so I just input the same settings and 'hey presto' it worked.
 
Family up from York overnight last night. Grandson very slim and catching his Dad up at 6'2" and turning into a polite and helpful young man, very keen on sport so they all had to watch Wimbledon and follow the Cricket.

I took them out to a smallish Country pub for a meal which saved Marjorie. I went to bed at 11:45 which is very late for me and he was still quizzing his Dad on political questions.

We were sad to see them go back home today.

A both sides now weekend but obviously wonderful to spend time with your daughter. grandson and SIL.
 
Well it is late in the day but fbg this morning was 6.0.

Was Judith's 70th today so had a take away were going to go out for a meal but decided to wait till Adrian comes home in a week or so, He is returning to Oxford from Ards this week to continue studies at Blackfriars for a couple of years.

Keiran has been constructing decking in the back yard for the last week or so and is doing a grand job will post a picture when it's done.

Judith's brother I believe spent most of the day playing trombone with the Wirral wind band in the park
on the Wirral today hope the weather kept fine for him.

Yes, good review and all the better for a whiff of Tamnavulin with the added protection of the wine cask.
 
Good morning everyone on a balmy, or perhaps barmy start here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.4 at 5am. My Kung Fu is improving Mr Miyagi. I have advanced from paint the fence to paint the shed - do I get a sticker? A lighter shade of green than the fence but quite pleasant and Shakin’ Stevens liked it. I was wanting everything all white and seaside blue in a tacky homage to living by the sea. But no, “we are not guest house in Scarborough”. Just wait until I unpack the over large ersatz Starfish, Conch and Scallop shells (do Starfish have shells???). Out to dinner tonight - local boutique hotel is doing a restaurant week, 3 courses for less pain than usual - first course includes tramadol soup. Art bit - a bit more. Have a sparkling day. I shall drink more koffy now I know that it contains more fibre than bananas.

Good idea! Drink more coffee...I shall add cream @dunelm
Looking a solid structure...
 
6.7 this morning. Looks like blood sugars are improving bit by bit and hopefully will stay in the sixes. Maybe they will drop down eventually into the 5s.

Two of my 1:1 clients away today so a much longer break. I am thinking that in my break I will walk to Notcutts garden centre, browse around their shop, have a coffee and then go over to the pub for a meal and more coffee. Such a luxury to have a bit more time to relax.
 
Fbg 6.1

I am getting 5's in the day, but not for fasting blood glucose...yet...

Wildlife cameras in the night...
The badger family.
The baby badgers are the ones with the splayed out tail.


Pa badger is a pain in the butt. I am assuming is him.
He took the lid off my wormery (where I make rich soil courtesy of the worms for my vegetable garden) and ate a few thousand worms. I hope he has severe tummy aches today. It is a very large solid black plastic dustbin. The lid has a twist lock which I find difficult to open. I now only have a few baby worms, so tiny you can hardly see them. It will take a couple of years or more to build that up again.

Aaaaggh!

Also one of the badger family has partially destroyed one of my stray cat pods, torn the front off, and scattered all the dry straw into the rain...

Sigh...

Creative is one of the ink paintings I did when my daughter was here. She is going back now to Australia.

She has taken this painting back with her because she liked it.

Have a good day.

How about an early morning sherry to kickstart the day?

No, I haven't...not yet...

Hard to decide if this was a winner or a hug for all the trouble that badger is causing you. Decided on a winner for the terrific image.
