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

A day busy doing nothing

So thought I'd skip food

All went well until I felt a little hungry late on

A particularly nice cheese (black bomber ?) Lauren bought that cried out to be eaten, a pot of artichokes from marks, ( delicious), but omg
'bread stick "....who thought THAT was a good idea.

My 'ok, only one' proved infinitely fallible.

Lesson about Ying & Yang V balance and consequences sorely learned 10.8..

Lchf snacky things now back on the shopping list, and no more fasting, back to 2mad, for me.

That will have to wait tho', off out with our Steph, destination unsure...lunch or dinner somewhere.

Tomorrow however IS another day.



End of the world, winds predicted here in London this afternoon.

Hope I don't end up in Kansas.


Have your bestest January Tuesday, folks.
 
Two tales of woe this morning so hugs for @lindisfel and @gennepher. Derek, I hope the Octavia is soon restored to full functionality. @gennepher the sorry tale of #heatingandinsulationgate continues. Sounds as though the workmen were sub contracted via the competitive tendering process which seeks to know the cost of everything and the value of nothing. Very unfortunate that the workmen seem not to have been good ambassadors for Islam which is generally more caring and community spirited culturally than English people in general, imho. @dunelm and @gennepher thanks for sharing the art. @gennepher I'm in awe of your ability to share love in light of recent events.
 
Muddy cuddles - are you actually Peppa/George Pig? #1 grandson loved that episode. We bought him a dinosaur wet suit so he could roll in them. Time to spend some of your Christmas money
 
It is not right, all this shoddy workmanship @lindisfel
 
I had an amber warning of wind this morning, but it is quiet and still as the grave out there...

Oh dear, skipping food then succumbing to cheese...

Because I am very stressed at the moment, I know I can't do my one meal a day @jjraak
When I am this stressed, I want to stuff my face all day. I couldn't anyway. I would be ill very quickly...
But what I am doing, is having very tiny LCHF meals every couple of hours. That is getting me through at the moment. Once my stress levels go down then I won't need to do that. And then I can ease back into OMAD.

I will keep an eye out for you flying past in your red shoes....
 
I fully agree with your assessment on the tendering process.

And I agree, these men were bad ambassadors for Islam.

My experience prior to Friday, was when I am in the shops, the Islamic men round here are very kind, they can see I am disabled they can see I am elderly and they help me take my shopping at the checkout and put it on the counter for the cashier to ring up and they put it back in the trolley and insist on helping me back to my car.

But this group of men have completely destroyed my trust in answering and opening my front door

Thank you for your art & love & light compliments @ianpspurs

Lovely new year art.
Can't or shouldn't be remiss with girl power.
You tell em, like it is girl! Go get em!

I learned that some forty or maybe more years ago, than I'd like to remember!
I know my place, as Ronnie said.
 
Wot, no mini skirt, it is fraught out there!
 
6.7 this day of lots of rain, and I mean lots, thinking about an order for an ark again. Footie pitches are floating
So float on people!
Float On by The Floaters.
And my name is Larry............I

Quite a bit of shopping, fresh stuff as always, noticed straight away, prices are up, not by 5p, but rounding up to a pound etc.

The only resolution I can only subscribe to is, to try and be a better person!
If only everyone thought that way????

Anyway, things to do, the garden is growing I mean, yeah it's growing strong. Love is growing stronger!
A song there somewhere.

My best wishes to you all as always.
 
Great song choice - proper blast from the past. Good man yourself.
 
8.9 at 0300 today. Up to 10.4 now - that's after breakfast and insulin. Probably not enough insulin.

Neil did manage to get a new operating system loaded onto this laptop and I did manage to access the Find My Paste website, but the new one wouldn't recognise my backups and wouldn't let me get into my e-mail. So he has put my original operating system back on. Now I can access backups, files and e-mail, but not the family history websites. Until he can work something out he is going to put the new operating system onto a 2nd hand laptop that I bought a couple of years ago as a standby when I thought this one was failing. So I'll have 2 laptops on the go, one for e-mail etc and the other solely for family history stuff.

Wish I was as technologically savvy as Gennepher but of Neil can't fix it, what chance do iI have?

Hope everything has settled down a bit now Gennepher. Once there has been an upheaval like that, it can take ages to sort out and clean up - the cleaning part being the worst. I hope you have other buddleia that you can replace the broken one with. Clearing up your garden will take some doing as well.

I don't have a basilisk stare. The best I can do is peer thoughtfully over the top of my glasses, and that only works if I'm reading or on the laptop because they are reading glasses.
 
Lots of photographic evidence needed - wrecked toaster, rubbish all over, dirt, unusable kitchen - you get the drift. I would want an investigation and payment to replace damaged goods and a cleaning service. How dare they. Thank you for your creatives.
 
Some good news on the tech. When I had a laptop, I had no files at all on it but did have two external hard drives - labled A and B. I used A and then backed that up onto B each night. You can get huge storage now on quite small devices. Just a thought. I use several cloud sites now as I only have an IPad.
 
Thanks @dunelm

Yes. I know. I've got the photographs.
Thanks....
 
Good driving skills. A couple of skills to practice on a motorcycle is to be able to change gear without pulling in the clutch and how long can you ride using anticipation rather than using a brake - makes for smoother riding (note: brake useful in heavy traffic to let other road users know you are slowing down but apart from that).
 
Thank you @ianpspurs
 
Just like old times here today. I've spent much of the day basically invigilating #1 grandson doing SATS preparation papers. To the lad's credit he has not grumbled once and set Alexa timers assiduously. Hopefully come May he will - well actually his teachers since SATS are a crude school accountability tool - reap his reward. As far as I know all secondary schools set their own tests (CATS) for baseline data and usually again in year 9. The scores from these become a millstone around the neck of both the student and teachers. It was certainly not helpful to #1 son being labelled gifted and talented in Maths and Science. More accurately his teachers failed to understand he wanted to be a "normal" (with a capacity to be very naughty in ways his talents made him the obvious perpetrator) a little boy for as long as possible.

I have a look that only works when there is actually steam coming out of my ears!
It is in the voice!
Having the voice, can be enough to turn any man to putty in your hands. Mrs L has got the voice, that gets me up every time!
