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

Sounds a brilliant weekend @dunelm
I love this different colour sketch!
 
Rant on. You are quite right. An experienced driver who still has good eyesight and reactions is probably the safest on the road. Problems may arise when one of those younger idiots do something wrong and an older, less able driver has to try to cope. I never had a significant bump either - in fact only 2 minor ones in all the years I was driving but the last one shook me because it revealed a lack of judgement of which I was unaware, as well as an eyesight deficiency which is still under investigation (hence the MRI scan recently). That's when I stopped driving, even though it is inconvenient to both myself and Neil.

I don't think I was ever one of those mad drivers as a young person - the car we bought was a 2nd hand Morris Traveller with a top speed of 45mph, going downhill with a tail wind. Not much chance to be a mad driver.

Hope your trip to Carlisle goes well and the monitoring of your heart is helpful.
 
Enjoy the koffy and grandparent duties. Thanks for sharing the wonderful sketch. Glad you remembered the delicacies.
 
Hi Ian,
I know someone who is having immunotherapy for a similar problem at a hospital in Scotland, they periodically have him in hospital overnight.
I hope they manage to zap it ok.
Best wishes
Derek

6.3 this morning.

Work is starting shortly on replacing our driveway with brickweave. We made a huge mistake 10 years ago installing a stone bond driveway. It just didn't last and has started to break up - probably because the cars are circling to the side to park instead of going straight in and out of the drive.

I am so pleased that I am off to classes shortly as our friend who is installing it will be using a noisy digger to dig it up.
 
Lovely artwork
 
Gorgeous creatives. Thanks for sharing. I hope the 2 pieces approach is working as intended. Today's 2nd one looks more optimistic to me. Amazing that no bird has fallen prey to a cat in such a long time. Well done on being a cat whisperer.

Alive & kicking, @lindisfel .

Thank you for the kind thought.

Life just a little too meh, at the minute so I took a little time away.

But plan to be back as normal asap.

Cheers once again.

Shall read up on everyone but hoping all is well with you & the duchess.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and whatever, face bovvered.

Blood sugars this morning were 6.5 .

Ah the wages of over doing things in the garden are manifesting themselves today, walking is a problem, me me’s and myself must learn I am not as young or fit as I used to be, I should listen to my body more, or more likely listen to my body nagging me along with Mrs J.

The positive side of this I have a wonderful excuse to rest up, listen to music, read and practice plinky plonky while drinking copious amounts of tea and koffy.

Luckily today I am unsupervised so the music volume could be a trifle loud, I think I shall start with a little La Boheme then slowly and loudly work my way to wherever the music takes me.

Stay safe all.
 
Enjoy the Tilehurst proms. Will Katy Dereham be there?
 
My eldest has taken to playing and plinky plonk lessons for a year or two now, since she inherited her m.i.l. piano. She'll pick it up quickly as she does everything else. Not so yours truly everything was b.s.a.t.
S.i.l. must be keen he is buying her a key board for holidays on her 60th in Sept.
I would her sooner play her violin which she does to a high standard.

6.6 this morning. Just chilling watching the square box! Baz ball is on for the last time this summer. Hoping for a positive result.
It is cold and cloudy, threatening a lot of rain. Forecast is dreadful for the week, no temperature at all! Wet and windy and already in my front garden, lots of foliage from the local trees, gotta think it's autumn already cos it certainly ain't summer!
No appointments this week, so I might find something to do inside. A little job or two!
Have took total charge of meds distribution, as it was a bit worrisome as again the misrememberitis, confused Mrs L's awareness of the time. And because of this, I couldn't sleep in enough, as my anxiety levels were up to prevent any chance of overdosing of her pain and diabetic meds.

It is now raining!

Have a lovely Monday.
Best wishes to all.
Hope your trip went well @lindisfel .

Thank you Ian.
Yes it is.

I liked the way the digital one worked out too.

I do my best...
 
Thank you @Mrs T 123 . I agree that it is easier to put it on than take it off. When I went on the carb fest at Christmas it shot up from 9 stone 5lbs to nearly 10 stone so quickly but it has been a real struggle to lose it. Today I am 8 stone 13¼lbs.

Blood sugars much better but not perfect yet - but I am hopeful that they will improve further.
I feel that somehow I harmed my pancreas with the carb fest and it is repairing very slowly.
