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

Lovely counter to the grey days
 
Good morning everyone from a bright sunny start to the day da’an in the place where the letter ‘l’ is added to the end of every other wordl. Return tickets to be purchased today - they won’t be free like during the weekend but I will use the ticket splitter and buy several. Automatic cars -especially with cruise control and automatic bump into the car in front preventers are marvelous. I did have cruise control on a few bikes as well - not to be recommended! Current car, very smart, has both automatic and manual (ish) gear change facilities. Not convinced about the green or the ethical credentials of electric car power systems manufacturing. Of course, any ‘truth’ found on the wonder web is to be treated with suspicion. Art bit; another day, another set of squiggles. Must get on. Pills to take, exercises to do. Then a bit of sun bathing while sampling some koffy.

Actually @jjraak I think that I had got it all wrong. I had thought, and I don't know why, that driving an automatic would be very complicated. Have now realised how ridiculous that was.

Thank you for the really helpful RAC link
 
Yes, it's a risk. We'll have to ask Alistair if we can borrow his car. That will mean Neil going in with Alistair to work at 0730, coming home to get me and delivering me at the Health Centre for 1115, doing a very large amount of shopping, collecting me, bringing me home and then going back to get Alistair when he finishes work and then home again. Long day for him when he's not feeling all that great. He'll do it though.

BG at 0345 was 11.7. Came down a bit by 0700 to 10.3 and is still there. Breakfast soon, and insulin so, with any luck, it will go down a bit.
 
Excellent.
 
Been to surgery this am and met a guy who knew me in the hospital 24 years ago when I was chief medical technologist working on Linacs.

He had moved over from being an electrician got several degrees and embarked on a senior role in treating patients and wanting to retire to the south of France at 55.
He said I had not changed at all.

Nice to think it true though I apparently have a chest infection.

I said that our e consult had been withdrawn from end of 2022 @lindisfel and you said 'disgraceful'.

Now you say yours has been withdrawn.

Are they phasing out e consult?

It was such a good idea the way it was marketed originally...

Playing with an old painting in the Procreate file.

I am busy.
I am tired.
Hopefully I will have more time on Friday...

The magpie was on the bird table this morning. He would not give way to the pigeon, Mr Heffalump, and so Mr Heffalump came down from above and crash landed on Mr Magpie, who was shocked and flew off. Mr Heffalump got the food...

Have your best day...

 
Beautiful, and lovely colours, but it makes me think of a disaster movie with a tree being dragged into a black hole. The end of the world? Maybe that's just me in an odd mood today. I didn't think I was, though.
 
Hug for feeling tired and being busy. Winner for the creative and video. Not as windy here as that creative looks but tomorrow may just be similar. Venerable RR delivered for MOT, me delivered for bloods and Aldi raided - treated JKP to their not Baileys Advent calendar. I know, I spoil her. We also visited a good butcher (spiffing venison and JKP acquired the biggest scotch egg I've seen) in Newmarket. In the Guineas shopping centre - of course it is. Main MRI report came back as stable so never mind the RR my chemical handbrake is holding . Very much thanks be to God and Cambridge University Hospital. Trout salad later - how you 'doin?

I think they remove it in the week when they are pushed. Its not permanent @gennepher but someone like yourself needs it as an available tool at all times.

I got in at short notice because I have what's called a lot of comorbities as you have.


A partially collapsed lung on the right blocked artery to rear of heart muscle and a list of things as long as your arm. Now they want to analyse my sputum to see what's going on in the right lung.

I cannot worry, I am old and I have had a good life, I just don't want to leave my dear wife and family just yet.
My brain is as good as it was when I was young it's my body lets me down.

There were not many in the surgery this am I can't understand what is going on.

Helen is working in St Helens walk in today on a long day shift, she sees it as something worthwhile in her retirement.
With the very best wishes @gennepher
Derek

Ah @Annb
I am struggling against time at the moment, so maybe that is reflected in the painting...
 
Thank you Ian.
It is very windy here now...
I am glad your day appears to be proceeding well...
Just had a nap...but no time...
 
Smashing piece of art. Reminds me of The Golden Ratio that is in nature.
