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


You sound like I feel.

 

Today was a different story @jjraak and much compensation as we meandered on two wheels round the B and less than B roads over moorland and forest road to this fine hostelry for a bit of grub; https://www.garagebarandgrille.co.uk/
About 140 breezy yet rain free miles avoiding cars, caravans, lorries and worst of all, tourists pulling caravans.
 
You and @Bubbsie dont need to get dressed if you dont want to but for heavens sake do have your coffee!!

Yes ma'am!

I had 2 cups and then went back to bed instead of to the pillow store. When I got out of bed I finally got dressed -- gotta go get CoffeeMate and pick up a prescription refill once the temp outside drops from 32 degrees. The pillow will have to wait. Hopefully it will find something to do to amuse itself.

Be careful what you wish for. Who really wants a spavined old fella stinking up the place like the smell of fried fish and lowering the price of property in the postcode? Great fbg by the way.

I’m not sure what “spavined” means Ian but it sounds fantastic, one day I too would like to be spavined, and smelling like fried fish would be an added bonus. Perhaps wearing a pair of tatty knitted fingerless gloves and turned down wellies with my faded corduroys... what dreams these are.
 

Oh my goodness! That pic was a blast from the past!

Spavined is something old horses get ... are we gonna have horses on the board now? If so, forget the pillow, I'll go buy some wellies.
 
Your dog Jacko sounds as though he had a wonderful life with you and was a very special dog. Our dogs and cats bring real joy into our lives but it is so hard to bear when they pass away.
 
I had enough for this morning Krystna otherwise things could have turned nasty...I've been shopping & doubled up on the coffee.
So pleased to hear that you had enough coffee for the morning. I agree that things could have turned nasty if you had run out.

I have a Nespresso machine and have to confess that I have another one as back-up in case my main machine breaks down.
 

Looks nice.
sounds like a good was had.

@SaskiaKC

aww... the old gulf garages.

they always had the BEST promos when we was kids..beach balls most summers
and football coins for the upcoming world cups etc..happy days

for some weird reason they did, 'lenor' i think a new (then ) fabric conditioner
and as kids.(aka Dumb ) we decided that exploding the packs with our feet would be 'fun'

and as i was late to the game, when i arrived i had no idea what the others where doing until i got a full on squirt of the stuff BANG into my eyes..cue much 'i'm so sorry's ' while i was bawling my eyes out with 'i can't SEE ' :***::***::***:

a visit to A&E had my eyes rinsed out, some drops to take each day, and blurry vision for a few days.

The ruck of my mum and dad was worse mind.."How could YOU be so stupid....etc, etc,.etc
once the hugs and OMG's had passed...

but still ..you resurrected some happy times there...

Gulf beach balls..oh my days..how could i forget.
 
Cool, @jjraak, about the beach balls, but not about your poor eyes!

Gulfs didn't do beach balls here that I remember, but I do remember going there for inner tubes in the summertime. Ones with patches were the coolest. I also remember Gulf horseshoes for the high-octane gas that had a kick, No-Nox, and Gulftane and Good Gulf. Did you ever read Bored of the Rings?



Wow. Gulf, the best gas for a cruise down Memory Lane ...

Meanwhile, instead of beach balls, Sinclair stations had inflatable floating dinosaurs --
