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

Brilliant - it’s the corridor to the room where all the surrealists live.
 
6.4 at 04.30 today. Up a bit with pills and tea, but back down to 6.1 now that I have had breakfast.

Hands are pretty well back to normal now. Achy and sore, but nothing like they were. While they were bad, the veins stood out beautifully although the hands were swollen. It would have been a good opportunity to get blood for a blood test, but I couldn't have stood a needle going in to get it.

Energy levels fairly high this morning. I'll have to see which of the numerous jobs I can tackle today. Neil is still pretty much out of it with his back.

The opthalmologist that I saw the other day said they (the GP, optician and hospital opthalmologist that I saw last time) thought my problem could be either my thyroid (scan says not) or MG but she said they have decided that it isn't Optic MG but may be something that acts like MG. Whatever that might be, I have no clue. I don't want it to be MG but the symptoms are very similar. Ah well, que sera, sera, as Doris Day sang (showing my age).
 
Good morning everyone on yet another all things bright and beautiful start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.5 this am and already the washing that I whimsically left on the washing line last night is nearly dry. Tragedy yesterday as my cafetière decided to identify as Johnny Weissmuller and did a pretty good reenactment of a Tarzan dive off the work top - all went well until the floor decided to get in on the act. Travel cafetière to the rescue and a trip to a shop later today but meantime, cafetière is laying in state - a right old state - in the dustbin which in Wales is known as a wheel-y-bin. Art bit - some more marks. Have the best day that you can. I shall pour my koffy and weep at the unexpected expense of a new yet important kitchen item.

Could be a hole or a tear or something else, will you be having a specialist having a closer look at it?
 
Well Thursday went as well as such a thing can go was a nice service but everyone there was so much older than I remember them being.
Jen had chosen the music she wanted played and this is the one from the end of the service when we were all leaving to view the flowers though there was not that many as most of us had made donations to cancer research as requested over 400 pounds being collected.



My fbg this morning was 5.4

5.5 this morning.
Carried on with the catching up yesterday. The pile of paperwork on my desk has been dealt with and my desk is so tidy now.

Will carry on with the relaxing but will also be mulling over how to incorporate the new stuff I have learnt into how I teach.

Interestingly my brain is already working on this in the background.

Thank goodness you had a travel cafetiere @dunelm - otherwise it would truly have been a disaster.

Ahem young lady. A broken cafetiere is just an opportunity to drink a superior hot beverage or help the economy by buying a coffee machine - ideally voice/wireless/AI controlled A disaster would be when a teapot breaks or the staff are derelict in their duty to order enough tea. Such distinctions in the choice of words are important. One despairs at times.
An even more egregious example of the above.
 
Oh dear oh dear, the antics in your kitchen @dunelm

Art bit coming along nicely...
 
Does Lucuitus know you are hiding away?
or are you the Borg Queen?

Take it easy, will you?
 
surreal!
like it!
never seen a yellow footie tunnel.
not even Norwich, Mansfield, etc.
 
I totally agree, cups not mugs, tea leaves not bags, brewed in a pot with a cosy, sipped not glugged, pinky at 45degrees. Tea poured first then if you are adding afterwards. Cups should be warmed beforehand.
We don't live on a building site!!!!!
shocking, you deserve the abuse @alf_Josiah Alf








However, I'm not posh, and I like mine in my mug with the tea bag left in. No milk, no sugar, tho I use to enjoy the Liptons lemon brew, in hot weather straight outta the fridge.
 
The trick is to plan ahead, but be flexible, expect the unexpected and have a plan b, in case plan A goes awry.
Keep paperwork to a limit, and always be ahead.
I do believe that you have the nous to be able to concentrate on your training.
Never believe you have succeeded.
Continuous improvement is the way to be able to maintain success.
I think I'm preaching to the choir here @Krystyna23040

I did have a disaster with tea once. I made tea for the builders who were working on our house.

They loved tea but when they started drinking it I was puzzled by the look of sheer horror on their faces. They were standing there like statues frozen to the spot.

Then I realised that I had made them Redbush tea by mistake. I love Redbush tea but they obviously didn't.
