Thank you @ianpspurs and pleased for you that the you can again consult the Libre. Interesting poem but I would rather have butter than FloraMorning all from a very wet L.A. where more rain is promised. Based on the MRI feedback and phone consultation yesterday I'll use Libre again. Bg, lipids, full bloods are all in normal range even if I'm not. Thanks be to God and CUH. @Krystyna23040 did that car have a hymn book in the glove compartment, left by the little old lady who only used it to go to church?Not much use hereabouts but automatics are great for hill starts. Round here the sleeping policemen are hills. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art. Congratulations to TGIB - four is very grown up as #5 raises herself to her full height and tells anyone close enough. Attached is to remind you to take the red medicine - maybe not the whole Ode although I like it a great deal. One A Level English teacher always positively drooled at that part and parts of Tom Jones. He definitely looked as though he kept a good table and cellar @JohnEGreen hug for the stress that phone call will probably have caused. Back to wearing a mask sounds sensible to me. @Annb hug for having to acquire a wheelchair, we have a spare but that's not much use to you. @gennepher good news on the fennel working. @lindisfel I hope you find the Samsung tablet you want. We have 2 which we like - I take one on my drip trips. Enjoy your day everyone.
Don’t forget that there are no afternoons in November - it’s morning until 2 and then it’s the evening.Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those growing webbed feet and learning to speak fluent duck.
Blood sugars this morning were 6.2
One or all 6 of me learnt a life lesson this morning, if one or all of me, me’s and myself oversleep then do 45 minutes plinky plonky practice, eat breakfast and take medication there isn’t much left of the morning. Must try and get up earlier in the morning. Fat chance 4 out of 6 of me think.
Damp and wet, oh, they are the same with regard to weather out doors here in Tilehurst Towers, but at least the temperature is a few degrees warmer.
Do you all fellow posters and painters, drat, disaster darlings, absolute disaster Mrs J distracted me and I’ve now forgotten what I was going to write, hold on Mrs J is transmitting again…………yes dear, immediately dear……
Not sure we even had a morning here today. I haven't been able to turn off the light in the kitchen yet. Don't suppose I will now.Don’t forget that there are no afternoons in November - it’s morning until 2 and then it’s the evening.
Great art bit...Good morning everyone on a very damp and blustery start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 6.1 this am. Probably due to the lack of red wine or more likely the anticipation of today’s fun and games. Today, The Girl In The Bubble is 4 years old and the grandparents, both sets, will soon be suffering the uncontrolled attacks of the minature humans armed with cake, jelly and ice cream. What fun. I best have a nap before we go. Art bit, onwards and upwards. Hope your day is full of joy. Best make some koffy.

Thank you very much @gennepher
The good news is that the fennel has offered some relief and FODMAP offers another route. Stress seems to impact JKP's IBS adversely so that is almost certainly also involved. Just a thought, do you also have any back pain? - seems to be linked with IBS flare up in some. Thank you for sharing the creative which is wonderful just as it is. Take care.Fbg 6.8
The Fennel tea suggested by @Lainie71 yesterday is working. I can move around now, but the trapped wind is still there, and not so fierce...but it is still making me tired. I have a lot going on at the moment and so that is probably not helping.
I have been looking at the Fodmap way of eating as suggested by Derek @lindisfel
My first reaction was, I don't to blinking want to work out something else new...I did do some research before I fell asleep last night. I must have taken a lot in and remembered it, because I woke up this morning, my brain said we could do this instead of that, and wouldn't you fancy having a little of that because it fits in with the Fodmap way of eating and you fancy having a little of that...and so on....
Okay Brain, you win, I will incorporate it, and I'll take more readings to keep an eye on it.

Creative...a painting I never finished in Procreate, and I created a double exposure with the trees outside my front window which has raindrops on it....and that is what you get!
I am ready for an afternoon nap...problem is, when I open my eyes again, it will be dark...
Have your best day...
A cuppa first...

Interesting point, @Lamont DIf you stop the majority of the population having spending money, what do you think will happen?
If most of people's income is going to fewer people, how can the retailers share do anything but go down?g
there is a huge number now, that can't afford to spend money they haven't got.
Batshit crazy Tory economics.
No growth whatsoever!
If government gave more interest in actually helping the people, then the economy would have to look after itself!
People first!
So pleased the car is working out so wonderfully, after your bout of trepidation over the gearbox .6.1 this morning. Picked up my car and drove it for the first time. It was lovely to drive.
It was nice to be able to fully concentrate on the road rather than part of my brain focussing on the gear changing. I will never go back to a manual car as it was wonderful not to have to think about gear changing. Tomorrow I will drive to classes in Norwich and actually don't feel at all nervous about driving the new car
I used my new replacement coffee machine this morning. Wonderful to have a coffee machine that works perfectly. Nespresso also sent me some free coffee capsules.
Now I must start on the admin and will catch up with everyone's posts later.
@jjraak. I dont think they have thought all this through, my sister's husband who worked as one of the under managers for Ruston Bucyrus excavators reckoned years ago they couldnt sell them to India it would put too many labourers out of work doing work that was done by navies in G.B. in the 19th century. Its probably different now but there is appaling poverty.Interesting point, @Lamont D
I think that's the conundrum that the major economic powers were, and still are struggling with, when they look ahead to Robotics & A.I. replacing so many in the workplace.
iirc, self driving vehicles in the US was predicted to remove 50%+ of truckers, which by itself was a huge number, many of whom, unlike other industrial revolutions, might not be replaced by new & novel roles, so far unpredicted by the powers that be.
(If even maintaining or creating improved models, in the case of robotics, becomes exclusive to robots advancing themselves, what roles do displaced humans have ? )
A fact that had the US (among many govts) looking to how the introduction of 'universal credit' might be a possible solution.
Like you say, if too many are displaced from work, who is left to afford to buy the 'products' created ?
Too many with not enough money to buy anything but the essentials, and economies potentially collapse.
Many clips on YouTube etc, making your case, that money given to the many (aka poorer) helps growth & benefits society, where it is recycled to the local community (aka spending)
Given to the rich, it only benefits the few, where it's generally added to the pile of money they already have ( off shore banking, luxury items, etc )
Tories, just keep tilting THAT see-saw in one direction, I fear
