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

Thanks @ianpspurs - hugs definitely for TGIB but she ought to be nominated for an Oscar. Blueberries definitely a thing in California.
 
Beautiful blossoms on that cherry tree. We went to Washington (the one in the USA, not the one up here) a few years ago when the cherry blossom festival was on - probably the best one outside of Japan - wonderful memories brought back by your art.
 
Evening finger prickers and swipers
Friday 4.4 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.

Polling day here in London yesterday, but thankfully the counting of the vote took place today (not the customary overnight marathon session that usually drags on until the early hours and plays old harry with my FBG levels ).

The weekend is almost upon us.
Take care everyone and stay safe.
 
Wow!

Creative ...a kaleidoscope today from the cherry tree of yesterday.

Have your best day.

Time for a cuppa...

It is a dull grey day out there...as still as the grave...

 
5.8 this morning.
Did so much admin yesterday. Sometimes I work really hard but don't feel I achieved much Yesterday was different as there were no hitches with the computer that can be so time consuming.

Today the church are repainting the white lines in the car park so Mr K is running me in so I don't have to park on the road while I teach classes.
 
5.4 at 04.35. Libre woke me twice to tell me I was below 4 each time. Fruit pastilles dealt with that and I expected a higher figure this morning.

Starting the new antibiotics this morning - ones I haven't seen before but only a week's course. I'm beginning to think these short term treatments are just allowing whatever the bugs in my system are to get used to the attack and rally their forces again for next time. I believe there may be longer term treatments available but how to access them, I have no idea. Can't help thinking that allowing bacteria or viruses to get used to dealing with current treatments is dangerous for the future. Maybe we are handed out antibiotics too easily and should be strong enough for our immune systems to deal with these things ourselves - also a dangerous idea, I know.

EDIT: unless we have an immune system that is compromised for one reason or another, of course.
 
For painting is absolutely stunning @gennepher
 
Morning all from a dry and temperate L.A. where the locals have suddenly become Tractor Boys fans. @gennepher thank you for two stunning creatives based on Cherry Trees. We had a flowering cherry "back home" and I helped dad renovate, then lived in, a house called Cherry Villa. @Krystyna23040 another gold star for Mr K. @Annb I hope this course of antibiotics finally works for you. Enjoy your Saturday and long weekend if at all possible.
 
Looks like it's the Welsh version of "Britain's Gardens Got Talent" Show .

Midnight doing a turn as Cowell.


And got to admit, that fox is giving a half decent impression as Nureyev from the Bolshoi Ballet version of
"Swan Lake"

Bravo, bravo, Encore, Encore...

Thank you @ianpspurs - no mow May is taking place in the back garden. The front though remains like Spout House Cricket Club in North Yorkshire.

No Mow May looks good on paper, but has been linked to an increase in strimmer injuries to hedgehogs... and other garden creatures who like the damp long grass environment.
We will not be participating this year. Will instead keep the mower on the highest setting. And there is always the field attached to our garden which is only cut twice a year.
Here in France we are legally prohibited from cutting hedges from March to July - this is to protect nesting birds.
 
Good morning everyone on an improving start the the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.1 at 6am. Family weekend and the grandchildren, who arrived last night are up, dressed and breakfasted. It’s a 10 mile walk up the beach and back down the cinder path this morning, starting and ending at our daughter’s house where we will have an afternoon BBQ (bring your own folding chair). The grandchildren and I are joining everyone at the half way point at the top of the cliff. 18 walkers and about 30 in total; brothers, sisters, grandchildren, cousins, nephews, nieces and a couple of aunts and uncles. A bit down on previous years but never mind. Art bit, we saw people walking their dogs in the drizzly rain under the pollarded trees last Saturday. Hope your day is at least a warm one. I am on my second koffy - there may be more. Cinnamon - anybody use it on a daily basis?

Good idea. I usually cut on a high setting until the grass gets going again and thanks for the tip about hedgehogs - I will check for them at the end of the month.
 
I sincerely hope this course of antibiotics works for you.
Last year I had a UTI infection. Short course of antibiotics didnt work and few weeks later had to have a ten day course. I believe it was my body's efforts to fight off this infection that led to the vitamin D3 deficiency , which had such an impact on my health, both mental and physical.
My best wishes for your health to improve.
