I have found that there are numerous virtual bike rides you can find on youtube, so set up the computer in front of bike, ride through mountains, along sea fronts in Spain at 30 degs C which at the moment is really good for the mind. You could try this for starters :-https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOPikFlIzp4&list=RDCMUCVbBtdw-_SCqGDs6-_awaDg&index=1Yes I do the same when I am on my exercise bike - I visualise I am riding it in the Loire Valley or Northumberland. Much more interesting than my living room.
Hi Folks
Is it just me, or is anyone else getting fed up with constant yellow weather warnings? Of course we all would like sunny weather but I'm talking about the Nanny state. My marine weather forecast predicts 14mm of rain overnight, half an inch in old money. OK, it's going to rain. But do I really need a Government warning?
Normally I would have a glass of wine to toast Neptune and not be Mr Grumpy.
Hi @True Blue - it is 5.4 mmol. It is confusing that different countries use different types of units to measure blood sugars.Hi there @Krystyna23040
Is that 5.4 MMOL or A1C? My nephew has Type 1 and in Canada they use A1C% units, meaning that 7.0 here is fine, but there in A1C it's bad news. Not a criticism of you. It is a general problem on this site, the absence of units.
Yes, Poppy was the star of the show. Church halls do get really chilly.Morning all on a dreary start to Saturday on the border of The Brecks and Fens with a side of Uncle Sam's finest. Unknown fbg but since I don't do regime change I won’t sweat the small stuff. @Annb how typically thoughtful of you to consider both the health and wealth of your cleaner - don’t neglect your own. @JohnEGreen great fbg and good idea to buy the teasmade. @gennepher hug for the cold but good that the hot toddy was helpful. @Krystyna23040 great fbg, thoughtful to warm up the venue and I'm sure Poppy will be the star of the show. @dunelm lovely insight into a busy start with those grandchildren. Thanks for sharing your art - what are those tall things?Enjoy the rugby - good to support grassroots sport. Thoughts and prayers with those regulars absent lately. Enjoy as much of the day as you can everyone.
Hope you feel a lot better tomorrow @gennepherVery good advice @dunelm
Just going to the kitchen and back at the moment is my limit, and then I fall asleep when I climb back in the bed.
That tiny bit of exercise is good. And I have that cat Midnight walking by my side every step of the way, until I get back in bed again...
I have always used my own visualisations in my head when I had an exercise bike, and a rower (imagine a stream/river)in the 1980's, or if I were jogging/walking on the spot.I have found that there are numerous virtual bike rides you can find on youtube, so set up the computer in front of bike, ride through mountains, along sea fronts in Spain at 30 degs C which at the moment is really good for the mind.

Thanks very much @Krystyna23040Hope you feel a lot better tomorrow @gennepher
That is really intriguing @SlimLizzy.17.02

Contact from a stranger on messenger this morning. Whoever it is knows MrSlim and asked me to pass on a greeting. They also mentioned by name his two nephews, but neither of us can work out who it is?
Sent a generic greeting back. MrSlim has ve few family members left, perhaps this will be something good for him.
You captured her despair so brilliantly @gennepher.Thank you @Annb
I was watching her heart sink lower and lower the more the pharmacist explained, so that made it easy to draw...
Thank your @jwd1. I hadn't thought of doing this.

Fantastic scenery and representaation.Good morning everyone on a dull but dry start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.8 on the player of games monitor this am. An exploration yesterday; down though the woods and over the bridge, along the beck looking for the kingfishers - no luck on that occasion. Fish bites for the grandchildren (they don’t like chips), wander down the beach, back up the bank, ice cream, wander home. About 6 miles throughout the day. Both nephews scored tries (positions 8 and 10) and team won 33 to 5 - bit lop sided albeit a league match. Thai curry last night - I had mine with zero noodles. Art bit - I’ll leave it at that. Probably another wander along the beach this morning before the grandchildren head off home. But first, koffy and a few exercises. Stay safe, if the weather is going to be bad - best to prepare.
