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

Thank you Ian....
 
6.3 on this terribly terrific togger Tuesday.
Painting this morning.
And deflecting questions from Mrs L.
What do you want for tea?
At 5.30 a.m.
Then I woke up, and responded with what time is it?
6 o'clock, and you have just finished.
So, what do you want then?

Do you want a chippy or an Indian?

Oh yeah, across the road, the workers from a company I've not heard of, started digging up the pavement at 8pm last night. So it's an emergency right?
They left at 11pm, with a blocked pavement and Barney Rubble everywhere.
Back again this morning making a racket, as the lads take up the driveway to the back garden, a small digger taking chunks out the ground, as the Barney, grows and spreads.
Still there.
Now the reason I'm interested in this is because, this is not the first time, last time a few months back when the gas fellas were digging up everything in sight. Found out there was a smell, similar to drugs, the police noticed the house was using too much electricity....
So after the Gasmen, the police, this morning never mind the smell. What have they found?
Nothing so far....
It reminds me back to when the old couple who did live next door, complained often to anyone who would listen.
And a few times it was the gas. There was a smell, but with their sensors, nowt, nothing, blank faces everywhere.
Strangely enough, it was a flowering busy was the culprit, but not any of the other neighbours told the complainants.

Just go, chores to catch up with.
BTW, togger is Scouse for footie.
Gonna go, to the park for a game of togger. Coming?
Sunny and cold, no rain for five days. What is going on?
 
Really good news about granddaughter and how lovely of her brother to have given her his teddy.
Hope JKP 's poorly tummy feels a lot better very soon.
 
I do like these pieces. They invoke our imagination.
 
Morening Ladies and Gentlemen.

Drat, double drat and disaster darlings an absolute disaster blood sugars this morning were 4.8, plans to be changed.

Never mind, we are not flooded, we woke up this morning and can look for the silver lining in every cloud, find it, nick it and flog it for a profit.

Stay safe, stay dry and have the best day you can.
 
Thanks @ianpspurs and for the interesting and poignant poem
 
Sitting here, breakfast out of the way, house tidied again, waiting for my cleaner to come. Just had a phone call - her car has had to go into the garage and she can't get here. Ah well - just enjoy the tidiness until it gets spoiled again. Trouble is, there's so much Christmas stuff around the place just now as I put together gifts for the family (and cleaning lady and her kids), that it's difficult to keep it all tidy until I can get it wrapped up. Can't do that until all the bits and pieces come from Amazon.

BG 7.5 at 04.00 today.
 
Good morning everyone from a frosty start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this am and a text from GP surgery to say that my HbA1c results from last week indicated a score of 41. I has been down to 36 or something like that but what a miserable existence that was - nibbling at lettuce and trying to find interesting recipes that demand ingredients only available from back street apothecaries or your local wizard. Train journey home yesterday - a mystery tour due to some point faults in the middle of a boggy field causing a 2 hour static view of a marvelous sunset over a newly established inland sea. Train terminated two stops early - needed two more trains to get home. I read a book - the pleasure of tuning out the negative. Onboard train staff were marvelous - checking where folk were heading to - giving out best route to take info and assurances that all tickets will be valid for any journey - such a missed opportunity for fare dodgers. So nice to sleep in your own bed. Art bit - just a quick sketch. Have a nice day y’all and shun that which makes you angry - I just love a good shun. Best dive into some koffy - all the better for you now that it has been added to the gut friendly superfood hall of fame and fantasy. You know it makes sense - just ask your gut but best speak to it in biome - a bit like Klingon but without all that fighting.

Morning all from a wet and dark L.A. which also describes the way I like my tea. No fbg to report but the venerable RR must be consigned to the breakers yard. Sadly, I won't have one last drive as I can't ask permission until December 5th at the earliest. @dunelm thank you for the wonderfully humorous post and more splendid red roof art. Well done on the A1c: that description of how one achieves lower levels resonates except that I rather like lettuce leaves, more than Koffy I think. @Annb sorry your cleaner won't be coming after the tidying but enjoy the feeling of tidiness. @Krystyna23040 Mr K is at it again with his Mondo Duplantis routine - how are we mere mortals meant to aspire to that? Another granddaughter has a virus which is causing issues but she managed to lose her coat between lunch and home time while merely sitting in a classroom - such a talented girl. She went to choir last night and is at school today. Tuesday is choir day here, she goes at 5.30 then her brother goes at 6.30. I mentioned Grunty Fen (CB6) last week. Clement Freud was MP for the Isle of Ely and had a racehorse named Grunty Fen. It is a real place but took on a life of its own as a metonymy for life in "authentic" Cambridgeshire Fenland (PW. - Pre-Waitrose) before it became a Silicon Fen (attached) dormitory area. Some of you may enjoy hearing true Grunty Fen wisdom - lyrics not available. Yes, we do all really talk like that and live as per attached - that really is me, minus glasses and cat, obviously. Though we now live in the IP28 postcode, which is literally on the borderline the difference is stark: proving impossible for me to come to terms with. Have a spiffing Wednesday.

Good whatever.
no FBG.
too busy finishing boxroom, laundry day, bedding day and the usual.
I should say I just forgot in the maelstrom of the morning.

it was really cold last night at the footie.
nowt to warm the cockles either.
good thing Mrs L had put the heating onto sub tropical in my absence........

not a good night either, had stomach cramps for why, I have no idea, thought I was gonna be sick at one stage.
feel much better now after doing too much, and I still haven't had any thing to eat yet. I might not till tomorrow.

Gotta go..

My bestest wishes to you all as well as take care, be safe and keep warm and dry.
 
Hug for the cold and tummy issues. The result won't have warned you up much. An ouchy football story but very sub Bert Trautmann. Take good care of yourself, myself and our King like the three degrees - anyone else? Keep away from Conall, the next one must surely be Donald.
