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

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.

Blood sugars this morning were 6.3 and my 8mm dia wood drill bit got a right old drilling, the size 5 x 50mm long wood screws found a home, the M8 x 130mm long coach bolts are behaving nicely and happily mating with 8mm dia penny washers wearing their nuts.
Reminds me of this old ditty “ nut screws washers and bolts “

Now I must raid my wood store for a large sheet of plywood, sand some reclaimed decking, but first I must make the afternoon tea, me, me’s and myself know our place.

Stay safe all and thanks for the art work.
 
I hark back to power cuts and doing chores in candlelight overseen by my mother!

I said to my better half this morning that I need to clean, chores, washing, floors, and shopping before the lady gets here to assess the house. You chuffin idiot!
Why tidy up, when you need help to do what you have been doing?
That is me! An idiot!
 
not only lionesses, bazball, phone calls, assessment, chores so far (All going well) I'm venturing to a preseason game this evening! So I should be a bit tired later!
don't know how I found time to work for a living?
 
What about lionesses?

A new partner to sleep with eh?

FBG today 5.8mmols it is a rollercoaster this week! Mmmmm!
not surprisingly tho!
Been on tenterhooks this morning with the assessment this pm.
I must admit, it went brilliantly, and I can only say, that from being ignored by everyone for over a decade, we are being inundated with offers for help and assistance. The main aim was a walk in shower/ wet room. And a stair rail up the wall opposite to the banister rail with a couple of adaptations around the house.
It is now a list, possibly longer and more items than we could have wished for.
And it's not as if it's a maybe! It will happen! I just couldn't believe what the lady was proposing. Even down to a fall alarm system.
And offers of help with lots more!
Finishing the week with some good news!
TGIF!
Have a lovely weekend.
 
Wonderful news and only what you both deserve.
 
That is natural to want to clean up before the assessors arrive...Muggins here is the same @Lamont D
 
Congratulations for the successful visit @Lamont D
 
This morning 6.5 that is a finger prick rleading as libre finished yesterday .

Update on kitchen all cupboards finished and tiling completed looks great thought that was it thought wrong Keiran not happy with kitchen sink so new one delivered yesterday so he will be ripping the old one out and fitting the new one in the next day or so he is making full use of all those qualifications he gained in electrical fitting, plumbing and painting and decorating before taking his degree in economics I’m getting a little concerned as he has a qualification in brick laying just hope he doesn’t decide to tear the whole house down and rebuild it.
Love him to bits when people say youngsters today are lazey he shows that is just not so, he has done all this while working full time for the. Post office.
 
3 am - BG 6.3. 6.30 am 6.1. Not sure why. It may be because I upped my basal dose to 60u a couple of days ago. That's the maximum my pen will deliver so I hope it will be enough.

My cleaner didn't come yesterday after all and I've heard nothing from her so I don't know if she plans to come today. Well - if she does, she does; if not, the floors will still be there. As my mother in law used to say: "the house will still be there when you're not, and still need cleaning, so don't worry." Her house, however, was always spotless.

Creative is acrylic inks and a hake brush and water. An actual physical painting.
Now, I always have this urge to play with photographic editing software. And so the second picture is more reflective of my mood, emotions and feelings.

The first painting, as I have said before, is for actual postcards to send to my postcrossing friends. An original piece of physical artwork (for want of a better word). But it is too pretty pretty to satisfy me personally as an artist. I need something more in depth of my mood, feelings, and emotions (and some other stuff).

And so the bottom painting is using the original ink painting to create digitally how I am feeling at the moment, or processing some thoughts. I think this way might fulfil my need to express this issue.

This will probably be the one and only time I will 'explain' myself. And for the foreseeable future, I will be presenting my daily creative in this way.


Robin Redbreast is the first bird visitor at the bird feeders at the moment. He has claimed the one near me as his own sole feeder. The sparrows are at the second feeder. The baby sparrows are all developing they adult markings, but they can still turn into cute fluff balls if they can con someone into feeding them.

Now I need to move. I am here when I need to be driving there. A local shop stopped selling something I needed more of. Internet search led to a small town in England (I live in Wales), and so that is my task this morning (no, they don't deliver).

Have your best day.

Finishing my cuppa here. And giving cat Midnight a little more loving...

Catch you later.

 
Hope your trip into England goes well and you can get what you need. Take care and have a good day.
 
Winner for having such a helpful and skilled son.
 
Now we are being spoiled.
 
Good morning everyone on what may or may not be a fine day here in Harrogate. 5.2 this am and I have a small list of goods to purchase from Betty’s tea rooms for Mrs Miggins and our daughter. Sounds expensive, better warn the moths in my purse. A lively evening last night and some have already departed for the day for a wander round some manicured fields with a bag of bats and small white balls. More arriving today, our reunion dinner tonight - a collar and tie are required. Hopefully other garments also. Art bit, the finished gate. Hope you all have a smashing day, the hotel koffy is dreadful.

 
6.0 this morning. I am so happy that it looks like I have finally got out of the 7s and into the 5s and low 6s. At least I hope that I have.

Again it is rush rush and off to non-stop classes until 6pm. Still, I shouldn't complain as I am completely in charge of my diary.
