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

And as a bonus, Popeye my cat, who had been Meg's arch enemy, now dropped the games he had been playing to get Meg into trouble and started looking after her. He understood @Krystyna23040
 
Thank you for sharing the Castle Perilous. Good news on the letter but shame about the meal and Youtube. The new hairstyle sounds interesting, like a Bob Mortimer tale. Was any Fuji Seven used ? (captions work on mine)

I am pleased to hear that you have a mass of curls (not cows) on your head @gennepher
 
That is so funny @ianpspurs

That is wonderful that Popeye did that @gennepher. They do understand so much.

When we first adopted Archie he was totally mad but would very gently play tug with our elderly Labrador Saffy. It was lovely to see his gentleness - but if he played tug with us he would almost pull our arms out of their sockets.
 
Sorry state of affairs with what is happening with YouTube so enjoy the rest from it. Such a shame when a favoured eatery changes hands and doesn’t now work. Hair cutting in the shower - well that’s an experience so enjoy your new look.

Thank you Ian .
Yes captions worked.
Seen that a few times now!!!
No Fuji 7 was harmed in the haircutting nor styling (it styled itself ...)
 
A nice video @gennepher showing how unconcerned your badgers and a cat seem about each other's presence in your garden. Thank you for sharing a photo of your fairy ring mushrooms as well.

Wednesday's FBG 4.7 mmol/l on waking at 6.00 am.

taken. @alf_Josiah hugs for the clash between radiotherapy and other meds and thanks for your - backhanded? - compliment. @jjraak I think you also may have meant your reply to AJ positively

Very much so.

I took it, if you like, in the fashion of a dedicated fan of a football team or maybe a cricket team.

In the manner that one chap quipping to another one that one of their friends at the bar with them, is a real stat fiend, knowing so much and being able to recall previous seasons stats aka assists or run rates at will into a conversation

That, for want of a better word, is 'boyish banter'.(.I'm sure we've all heard at times.)

Yet both acknowledging & respecting the fans knowledge far outweighs their own by a magnitude of 1000’s .

Alfs was a tongue in cheek compliment, which I took as such.

And my response I felt acknowledged your depth in such matters.

Could I recall such data...no.

So, respect was the intention, no matter how badly worded.

Have a good day, my friend.

decided it was a good idea to cut my hair, about 12 inches off and it is still down to my shoulders. I devised my own technique of doing this while I am in the shower.

Anytime I've seen that in a movie, it's because someone's forced to go on the run ...mmhh.

And of course Stallone done similar in Rambo ...mmmhh

Can't figure out which one is your reason....yet

So Thelma & Louise.
OR
Rambo.....mmhh

I do hope it's not the 2nd one and you're heading off to the Courts jury duty clerks offices anytime soon ..eek

Oh my goodness , what a terrible moment @Krystyna23040 .

Great news though on the bloods etc.

I'd say a wise choice all round just leaving it and adopting that wait & see policy.

Please god, it's just a one off or at worst very rarely & mild.

I worked with a chap who mentioned he might have a seizure (just been diagnosed I believe)

That very day he collapsed in the office

I felt so helpless doing as he asked .
Rolled him on his side and left him alone.

2/3 minutes later, he calmed
About 10 minutes later he was up and about again .

Within half an hour I wouldn't have suspected he had had a seizure at all if I hadn't seen it myself.

I hope poppy carries on living her best life .
 
Fbg 5.7 this morning.
When I said my bloods tests were all ok the other day there was one I hadn’t noticed and that was the C reactive protein level normal range 0.0 - 5.0 mine was actually 26 indicating inflammation of some sort.
Over the last month or so my warfarin dose had been doubled for some reason the fact that if you take twice the amount you use it up in half the time had escaped me so I ran out of them ended up in a panic trying to get some more ended up to and froing between doctors and pharmacy got it sorted in the end but must be more careful in future.
 
Good morning everyone from a so far dull start to bin day here in the dark and dangerous north. Daylight saving time is nearly here, the last one before the budget and the prospect of it being taxed for next year. Jabs yesterday - arms feel OK - it’s the shoulders that are a bit achy. Girl In The Bubble stayed last night - her homework was to draw a Halloween costume on the outline of an undisclosed person - on her instructions we did black and purple stripes, claws on the hands and then lots of spots to produce the Halloween monster called Mr Measles - don’t let it touch you! Wonder what her teacher will think about that - well it’s novel. Art bit - Chinese ink on wet watercolour paper. Hope that some goodness comes your way today - probably lots of it inside you but don’t forget to vogue. Koffy, best make koffy.

No sleep at all last night. No idea why. Got up at 03.00 and sat at this keyboard, just writing down musings and hoping to tire myself out sufficiently to go back to bed. Didn't work. Took some painkillers at 06.00 and hoped that might help, as it usually does. Nope! So here I am, waiting for the shower room to heat up sufficiently to use it. Now, of course, my eyes are heavy. Have ro keep going though, I have 2 appointments today - one for legs and then another with the Diabetes nurse who will want to check my HbA1c. At least, she should. It'll have gone up since last time anyway.

BG was 10.5 at 06.00.
 
Hug for the poor sleep @Annb.

I took suffer a tad with it, so been taking note of 'methods to drop off to ' type in my feeds etc.

Can't categorically say it works, but I seem to have some success with this one .

Select any letter & name an animal, once named the last letter begins the name of your next animal and so on.

I tried that version, but found more sense to my mind if it was strictly ABC instead.

I like it taxes me to switch off the worrying about something else, and I try to pick different animals each time.

I find I tend to free associate (?) as I pick I see an image of that animal in its native habitat, and as I begin naming them, it usually draws me into ever more detailed imagery g scenarios (which I think is what makes it work for me) & where I drift off to sleep .

No chance of a cat nap before appointments?

I try to grab one if I can, I wake very groggy at first but feel much more refreshed once fully awake .

Good luck with both.

Fingers crossed the HBA1c is better than you expect.

@Annb hug for the sleepless night.

You mentioned following a line back to the Balliols the other day coincidentally yesterday I was adding some new names in the family tree and came across Peter Scott of Scot Hall in Kent they strayed their ancestry back to the Balliol line as John Balliol he who Balliol college is named for his son was King John I of Scotland another son of his was William de Balliol le Scott he dropped the Balliol part from his name and went by just Scott he did that as Longshanks didn’t like him using the name Balliol.
