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

I agree @Annb the three wheeler is not as stable as a 4 wheeler.
I have a 4 wheeler, but it is big and cumbersome, and now lives in the garage.
The three wheeler goes in some local shops with very narrow aisles.
The 4 wheeler does not. As I am on my own doing my own shopping, this renders the 4 wheeler useless for my purposes. I need the wheeler at all times when I am out doing my fridge shopping.
So, it is no contest for me.
I certainly wouldn't pass a sobriety test with the 3 wheeler. In fact shoppers who see me approach eye me suspiciously and get out of the way before I get anywhere near....
But that pointy angle at the front of the 3 wheeler works effectively with crowds of people who have no intention of letting me through...
 
I agree, the four wheeler won't go, where the three wheeler will, around the narrow aisles of the shops and through our house.
So I will decide which one, after Mrs L gives her opinion, of course.
 
In this close and area one most certainly is. one Nation under God. Just in case anyone forget looks at the hardware but keep your noses out of the nukes underground.
I think you have been Americanized.
You have to move before your English values completely go.
Send Nigel in now, to rescue you from it all.

Hi Derek and good to see you here. I still follow his videos and dip in and out of his blog. I read his lent anthology and God willing will once again enjoy and find new insights from his Advent anthology. I'll add another person I follow here. I use his site as a starting point for pericopes I find puzzling. I hope you and Marjorie are keeping as well as possible. Peace be with you.
 
Turtle - not a tortoise, the great A’Tuin of course. If the earth is flat we would not enjoy the sunrise - would we? My earth is only 71, and a bit, before that it was all whatever the best selling book said - but not morris dancing.

Yes it would, because everything revolves around the earth!
We are the centre of the universe, and deities built the heavens around us.

Another of you lot critics of English culture.
What is next?
Tiffin being replaced by a maccies?
Afternoon tea being replaced by a bbq?
Tequila instead of Pymms?
I dread to think!

Copernicus made it all up!
 
I suppose it depends on conditions in Scandinavia @dunelm, but we don't usually encounter redwings here until September at the earliest. October and November is more normal. They often arrive in mixed flocks along with fieldfares.

Best wishes to your father. I hope his operation goes ahead as planned.
Another lovely tree Thanks for sharing

Tuesday's FBG. 4.6 on waking at 6.00 am.
 
Thank you @LivingLightly - I did think it early in the year for Redwings as @lindisfel indicated- small thrush looking with rusty red flashes as they flitted about - just the two of them.
 
BG at 04.30 was 6.6. Up to 8.2 by 05.00. It's the first cup of tea that does it.

Em is coming up to clean the car today. Neil hosed it down because the starlings had made a mess of it but it needs a good wash and she has never used a power hose and needs to learn how to control it. I'll pay her for doing it, although she said she would do it without for nothing. Scouts don't seem to do jobs to raise money any more but she has joined the scouts so maybe she could suggest it to them. It would obviously be a bit more than a bob for a job these days. This time, she will be raising funds for her own bank account. I have her birthday present all ready to go so must remember to hide it away before she comes. Hopefully not to forget where I've put it when her birthday comes around.
 
Good morning everyone on what looks to be a pleasant sunny day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.8 again this a.m. Packing. Is it too early? Mrs Miggins has been packing for a week and we don’t leave the house until Friday afternoon! I’m re purposing my brolly - from now on it wants to be known as parasol. Funeral this morning - don’t know the person but it’s a local Veteran and he needs a fond farewell. Anyhow, art bit - tree/bush/plant. Hope your day is a kind one. Now, onto important things, koffy.

Well done to Em for offering to wash your car for nothing. Odd jobs in exchange for increasing her bank balance sounds like a great idea. Sad that bob a job doesn’t seem to exist any more.
