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

Looks great, good to find a place that is not too busy and has all you need.

Good morning everyone on what looks like the middle of November here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this a.m. and apart from the wind noise, a wonderfully quiet start to the day. As I stood under the shower this morning, the last minute always on as cold as I can stand it, a tune by Ricky Valance escaping in a whispering sigh from my basal ganglia, I thought of bath nights of my childhood. Once a week, whether we needed it or not. I don’t really do baths any more. Reminds me of a sheep dip. Mrs Miggins does - we have a bath in the upstairs bathroom - she puts Epsom salts in. I shower. Art bit, a tree. Have a smashing white rabbits day. Must finish this koffy before it gets cold.

I remember going through checkpoint Charlie as a teenager on our way to visit relatives in Poland. It was scary and so was the drive through East Germany. It did feel like an adventure.
 
That's a shame that your TV can't access iPlayer @Annb
 
9.5 at 04.30 today. It's this darned cold thats's doing it.

I have my appointment for flu and Covid jabs tomorrow afternoon and I'm wondering if I should just try to cancel it because of the cold. I would phone and ask but there's no phone number this time just a website to go to to cancel or change an appointment. Might try to get through via the hospital switchboard.

Trying a different way of supporting my left hand today - it's swollen too much to enable me to get the glove on so I have some of that self-adhesive elastic bandage wrapped around it, putting pressure on where it is really needed. We'll see if that helps.
 
That was it...2 miserly little squirts that have no chance to develop before the winter sets in @ianpspurs ...
I have tiny figs on my tree, but one of them unexpectedly had a growth spurt. It was delicious. So don't give up hope.
 
A beautiful colourful tree @dunelm
 
4.8 this morning. I'm sure I'll get that too high with an ill advised breakfast.

A beautiful place @Biker
I have several black and white paper photographs I took of this place when I was a child more than well over half a century ago...
 
Not good is it....
Much the same here too. Although this morning the weather is saying no intention of rain, there is even a little weak sunshine through the clouds. I am not decieved, was like this yesterday and both I and the garden endured hours of rain. I was trying to rake up some of the clumps of cuttings. Left lying they would kill the grass underneath them. After two full wheelbarrows and a thorough soaking had to abandon the task. Although a brief spell of dry weather in the evening tempted me to have another go. Later wished I hadn't bothered as shoulders are complaining a bit.
 
Fbg at 6 AM according to Libre sensor 3.0 now at 7.10 AM 4.7
I asked Alexa if it’s ever going to stop raining the answer I got was “right now it doesn’t feel like it ever will” I think I have a depressed AI on my hands.
Asked the same question, got the same answer, but look!
