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

Morning all
Rise and Shine. It is going to be a beautiful day.

Well, it will be if my optician this morning can sort out a current eye ailment, like hay fever only there isn't any pollen. New allergy?
FBG 6.3 mmol at 0630hrs. Had 20g of 70% dark chocolate lunchtime. Seems one can have treats if there is no booze.
 
Blimey, what a day. Such a burden, having to carry secrets. They can drain people. Do you live in Elsinore? Hugs for that and for the Who Done It mystery clean up and thank you for these glorious daffs.
 
Tree pollen can affect you in February @True Blue
Especially From Hazel trees.
It affects me. I have several hazel trees in my garden. I have other trees in my garden which have catkins. I think catkins are coming out early this year...
 
Well arrived at QMC but they had no record of receiving eGFr from doctors so no scan they did their own blood test and will rearrange scan so 17 miles there 17 miles back just for a blood test am not a happy bunny.
left hand not knowing what right hand is doing - what a mess. Seems to happen quite frequently I think.

It was @dunelm
Thank you
Yes, they were draining. I don't think people realise when they give you a secret that they say must never be spoken of. They are unburdening themselves or maybe hoping they will be found out?
Daffs are cheerful little things!The badger dug them all up last year, and these are what I managed to replant!
 
Good morning everyone on a blissfully quiet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.4 at 0600 this am. There are 13 snowbells sticking up out of the lawn that was newly laid last summer. A prime example of how flowers move about when you are looking the other way. We are going to try and decant them to where other members of their gang live, at the front of the house. Another day of exploration yesterday with the grandchildren; down to the beach through some woods where the light is encouraging better growth of the wild garlic. Picking and eating - looking at plantains, sampling early beech leaves. Down on the beach searching for treasure. A few fossilised mussels, Little Miss Pamplemouse found an ammonite (photo below). “Is this is older than you grandad?” Throwing pebbles into the sea, water over the tops of welly boots, ice creams. Discussions from the pier about the different colours on the sea. Can you see light through the lens of a microscope? Colour is just light frequency, rainbows - what have I got myself into? Back to the house for food before they all left for home leaving the grandparents to flop on the sofas! Total of 6 miles wandering about. Art bit - just a wee start. Today will be a quiet day. Hugs aplenty for anyone who needs a few. I must finish my koffy and tend to some washing.

We have daffs all along the street on the grass verges - some tall and a wonderful few native ones. Most gardens and street ends are filled with pockets of snowdrops at the moment. This area was woodland until the 1960’s.
 
Tell Little Miss Pamplemouse I have a chalk ammonite I found when I was about her age, and I am nearly 75 years old now, a batty old lady, and I still have that ammonite in a little red box @dunelm
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and something or other.

Blood sugars this Morening were a 5.6

I have never found a fossil, but have been referred to as an old fossil and have been known to tell my grandchildren I had a Stegosaurus as a pet when I was a child, these days the little darlings roll their eyes and give me one of those looks when tell them that.
Isn’t that sort of thing the prerogative of being a grandfather?

Thought for the day, well my day.
As me, me’s and myself say time is not a constant, but a variable therefore perhaps the world was made in seven days, but not the days used on this the third rock from the sun.

Stay safe all and enjoy your day by avoiding Tilehurst Towers.
 
Morning everyone on a day alternating twixt sunshine and showers. Did we go straight to April? @gennepher I hope you slept well and today is as dull as can be - no need for the Silent Witness team although they usually need a body. @dunelm thanks for sharing the photo and art. So much in that post a sort of instant lifestyle description. Just add a little thought about what all that involves and embodies - multum in parvo: sounds like somewhere the Chipping Norton set would live. Half term here so childcare and care home combined along with two very, very up close and personal procedures. Modern science is wonderful and so simple to follow.. Here's a weeks worth of poems for anyone feeling like accompanying me on my pilgrimage. Enjoy as much as possible of your Monday.
Edit: At the moment the links to the audio versions and R S Thomas one seem to be in transit.

Thank you @ianpspurs and yes, a lot fun and joy crammed into a small space in the time continuum. Got to love Stanley Unwin.
 
That is really intriguing @SlimLizzy.
Yes. Whoever it is called him her Brother-in-law. Very strange.
Also strange: my youngest brother contacted me yesterday. We have not fallen out but never been close. For the last few years contact has been birthday greetings and accidental meetings at my mothers house.
Yesterday he asked to visit!!!! We have two weeks to tidy up. He has never been here so it feels absolutely essential to get it looking nice after the neglect of the winter.
