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


Beautifully put. @Annb
 
Thank you @ianpspurs but Starbucks - aaaaagh!
 
@jjraak & @Annb & @gennepher, I have sat in my garden and felt sorry for myself. I needed it!
Then I started afternoon chores with a smile, that this afternoon I will get on with it.Tea for Mrs L delivered.
I want to thank you again for the kind words and sentiment, you have had that experience with this issue and I know I'm a a newbie to all this, and my life has been turned upside down. With help, I know I will do what I have to do, until I can't!

Thank you all.
 
I haven't mentioned the Christmas card we found pushed through our door last evening, there was no name on the envelope, but inside, the message was from a family and their parents, it said that the card was posted as a thank you for the lights shining bright at this festive time.
They have driven around the local area, and selected certain houses with lights outside for chrimbo.
Appreciation of the lights in this time of tory darkness!

What a lovely thing to do.
 
We had to buy one on the M40, when we should have been on the M1.

When you plan your journey, ensure you have the correct p!ace!
E.G. Maidenhead not Maidstone.
You must be a townee @Lamont D I have been using maps since being a beginning teenager and was never without one.

Mothers eldest brother was manager of a big bakery chain in Bristol. He was a master baker. All he did was point his big Daimler in the general direction of where he wanted to go and put his foot down. I dont think he believed in maps.

By the way @dunelm the snow tyres they have in Scandanavia grip on snow and ice are not these jokes they put on townee cars here.

Spent 30 years going up mountains in the northlands in winter even with low ratio and diff lock I got a Range Rover stuck on on a big snow drift with all four wheels off the ground. We aways carried a shovel to dig the snow out.

I dont go out when its bad now.

Land rovers we had, long wheel base, they were cold and uncomfortable vehicles to drive 150 miles in a day in servicing transmitters...cold feet.

One guy charged a snow drift without putting his wipers on and we finished up off the road when thick snow from the drift covered the windscreen on a mountain road.

Good morning all hope today is an easy day, had to go into Carlisle again and into local town in pm yesterday. But we came back from Carlisle with haddock and chips from Johns Plaice, very nice for a treat.

Have a peaceful day if you can and a wonderful time with your friends and family as is humanly possible by making allowance for others.
It is good how we enjoy peace here.

Lifes too short at 84 for anything else.
