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

Thank you @ianpspurs
 
No7 or should I put #7 for Omar? Has been picked for competition. Unbelievable! So made up or chuffed or proud. Not getting the Yankee lingo! She has done remarkably well!

Have done gardening this afternoon and grass is cut, didn't rain, tidied up the autumn foliage. Hang on to your sou'wester as more and more rain is on its way, which is already far too much!
Feel sorry for those effected. And of course our Environment minister was out yesterday for a photo opportunity. Which was the target of my little poem!

Footie on this evening, so I might just leave you lot with more Tory news!

Roses are red
Tories are blue
One million kids
Have no food!

My best wishes to you all as always.
 
This would make an excellent poster
 
I sorted out my fatty liver once it was identified by going ballistic with a very low carb diet for a year. At that time I was able to do lots of exercise, which helped. It hasn’t returned.

Ouch! Both for the tooth and the cost.
 
Evening

Been a good day.

Concerned about hospital visit today, but it went well.

Lots of pictures taken, the retinopathy lotion in action.

Inconclusive but up for debate if the crash trauma caused or exacerbated the issue

(Thin layer at back of eye, seems to delaminate as we age, usually it is a slow process, so potentially the impact may have 'ripped' the layer off like a sticking plaster, causing the sudden deterioration of vision, sort of thing )

So seems it's a real concern, but consensus seems to be it is possible to stabilise & most likely recover/repair it .

An Operation IS required, but with good success rate, so I'm told .

Been given date to speak to operating team regarding my suitability just before Xmas, then if deemed a good candidate op by middle of next year, please God .

So, one worry lessened at least.

Hope everyone's day went as well.

I hesitated between winner and hug @jjraak
Finally gave you a hug because of the relief of knowing, and hopefully the op at middle of next year as you said. Action is being taken. And they are on the case.

Yes, the news left me feeling like a heavy weight had been lifted, @gennepher .

Thank you, (& others for the kind responses) it felt like a bit of both, to be honest.

I was braced for bad news.
So left rather bouyed up by the more positive outcome.
 
Winner and hugs all round. Prospects looking positive for the op.
 
Good morning everyone from a dark o’clock start here in Bordeaux. Had a good catch up with my niece last night. We also discovered that in France, an Indian restaurant called Popadom does not necessarily mean that it actually serves popadoms - oh well. A nice 20 minutes stroll down to the airport in a wee while and then all the fuss of getting to departures. Art bit, a few Gingko leaves that were lying on the ground in the park a couple of days ago. Hope you day goes well. Best finish my koffy and get on my way.


 
Hope you have an easy effortless flight @dunelm

Creative...
The app I used yesterday to paint with, had an update. It's added more colours, more brushstrokes, and more something else. I didn't find it fun last night, so gave up on it. I will try it another day when I can figure it out...

So I went into Procreate to draw some birds more in the style of Lin Fengmian...
I enjoyed doing these birds, I am not sure was they are thinking...except I was thinking of something as I drew them...

Time for a nap...
And a coffee...


 
Pensive looking birds. Hope the thinking was positive and happy.
 
8.9 at 3.45 am. I'd had to take painkillers before bed so managed to sleep until 3.30. Currently 10.3. A few grey clouds around, but bright areas in between them. Not very warm but it is dry and the wind isn't too bad. On my second lot of painkillers this morning already. Doesn't auger well but we shall see. One or two jobs I want to get done today, if I can but must be a bit careful - tomorrow is going to be a heavy day with 2 hospital appointments and an appointment to get my legs rebandaged.
