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

Regarding locusts as mentioned, they must be kosher because the Jewish wilderness prophet with the long hair, John the Baptist, used to eat them for his diet of wild honey and insect locusts.

No, he didn't slope off to the local take away!

We're they soggy?
Can't beat a dung beetle dip!
 
Shaparak Khorsandi does a good joke on that and her school nativity play. There is also the famous George Best and Miss World story.

My hand is in the air!
Guilty as charged as Mrs L will tell you!
 
5.9 this morning pre counselling! Not bad!
Had a decent appointment and more solid advice about how my feelings are at this time.
I do have anger issues due to my frustrations with everything that has happened, is happening, and the anxiety of future happenings!
Rain and a lot of it! Lots and lots have fallen, soaking everything around here! Garden needed it, but it does seem the shopping is being put off till later in the week.
I have to admit that speaking about my anxiety issues really tires me out. But as usual, things to do!
Been told, not to do too much, again! But the question is, how much is enough?
Think I need a bite and a cuppa.
My best wishes to you as always.
Have a tuneful Tuesday.

Government power auction, complete and utter failure, as no bids submitted!
When will these thieves finally pack up and................!
 
I like Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, he conflates Bathsheba and Delilah.

Don't forget Jesus called Herod "that Fox"
The Herod family, if I remember correctly, towards the times of the end of the second temple by Rome, were killing each other.

Late afternoon all, been a busy old day.
Blood sugars were 5.1 this morning.

An interesting day here in Tilehurst Towers. Mrs J had a man come round to trim her front bushes, he had all the right equipment and works extremely hard. Mrs J is very impressed with the quality of his work and he always reaches those difficult to find spots. Mrs J is hoping he will have an attempt at her back bushes soon.

Seeing as it’s Tuesday which is my day for pandering to the woke aficionado’s and gender confused, I can be called Loretta…..Just for today.

Stay safe all.
 
Well, why do you want to be Loretta, Stan?

Good morning everyone from a cloudy with hints of sunshine start here in the dark and dangerous north and welcome to @thesamestranger. Wetter than an otters pocket yesterday so a good opportunity to check out waterproofing of rain coats that have been sitting unloved for such a long time in the cloakroom and having to listen to the brollies telling horror stories of being ripped inside out by high winds. So, a walk into town, bus back sort of day. Today though, I have the great privilege of being selected from a cast of one to drive Mrs Miggins to an important engagement that probably includes meeting up with ladies who lunch and waffle on about tool sets and the secret life of 10mm sockets. Art bit, some acrylics on water colour paper but probably end up mixed media. My koffy is ready, hope your day is kind to you.

Surely Mrs Miggins is not a leading light in the Men in Sheds movement?
 
Interesting beginnings with colour @dunelm

I might be joining you with that in a few days because I am clearing out/sorting out the garage so I can do paintings etc in it. And I will probably start with mixed media. Sorting paper and art materials today...found all kinds of paints I mixed a few years ago and they are still okay!

Another cuppa and a quick nap, then back to sorting out the Tardis...and discovering hidden treasures buried under aeons of time...

Have a good day

 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and welcome to @thesamestranger, interested choice of name. No explanation required or expected.

Blood sugars this morning were firstly 4.0 then secondly a more believable 5.6

Plinky plonky day for me, with the additional task a I need to buy a pair of black shoes, my last pair fell apart just as I got home when I last wore them. They are well beyond repair and have been repaired before, they must be at least 20 years old. My feet are a little awkward, short, very wide and a high instep hence buying on line is not a good option and as per usual I’ve left it to the almost last possible moment, “who’s a silly billy” to quote old eyebrows himself Dennis Healy no relation to Austin Healy I believe.

Writing about believe I wonder if the religious zealots will be out and if they will attempt to accost me, me’s and myself today.

Now it’s time to go, stay safe all.
