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

I thank you for the compliment.
I was going to include after that post last night, my game on teamwork, tactics, shape and so on.
partnerships in footie is crucial. Etc.
but I couldn't cos I was knackered.
And I needed my pit.

any who, busy day as per. And a phone call to chill my faith in the surgery I belong to.

chrimbo spectacular in front garden. Three hours later, satisfied with job jobbed, and will check when it goes more darker than the dullness in the sky. Cold, windy, cloudy and still no rain.

phoned surgery pressed the right button for the jab team, as they have not been to us at home, as requested and agreed, no answer. Rang off, phoned again, no answer, phoned again, then phoned reception.
No appointment down, no mention of home visit, nowt in records, it does seem we have been forgotten.
I told them, Mrs L is on the at risk list since before covid, before the group took over our surgery.
Oh, we have just about finished for this year.....
I don't know if you yourself need to come in for your jab?
But I have a letter with the GP, I have had home visit before.
No record. You have to speak to a GP.
It will have to be a home phone appointment? Cos it would need someone to babysit, can't leave her on her own.
Yeah next week on the 6th, I think , no confirmation.
Appointment for jabs,18th december. Wow!

Gonna have fun when dsn is supposed to phone me, in the next week or so. I hope.

Is it me?

But big shop was due to be delivered before ten a.m. This morning, it arrived at just before One p.m.
No on contacted us, it was gonna be late I did phone, and the only information I got was it would be delivered today....
I asked the driver, the other driver, went sick!!!!!!

It is me, isn't it?
I'm not paranoid. It's my anxiety, really.
It is me!
Just waiting till the next thing goes wrong.

Lovely piece of haddock for our meal later.

Good to hear that your ankle is improving so much. Do be careful though. I don't suppose Mr K will want to be carrying you home, superman though he be.

Mr K definitely does not want to carry me home @Annb . I used my Nordic Poles for the walk outside as I don't trust the stability of my ankle on uneven ground.
 
Thank you @alf_Josiah
 
The thing with that piece of artwork is that the banana can be replaced over and over again fairly cheaply and still be the same work of art. They should have called it "Conspicuous Consumption".
 
OMG disaster has struck our piece is about to be shattered Keiran on his return from London today is now the proud owner of a brand new electric guitar and is determined to teach himself to play it and will take no instruction from his grandfather who obviously does not know one end of a guitar from the other oh well now he has finished his masters he needs a hobby I suppose.
 
6.2 this morning.
Am so happy - I have a proper lunch break today. My 1:1 is going to Holkham today for a family get together.

Mr K has insisted driving me in to classes as he thinks I would have problems if I had to do an emergency stop. He probably is right.
 
Oh no @JohnEGreen - although I don't think that it will be as bad as when one of my daughters enthusiastically started to learn to play the violin.

My son’s choice when at secondary school was the trombone mind you he did end up playing in Liverpool RC cathedral with the school orchestra.
Melody bless her chose the flute an instrument far more to our liking.
Give Judith a guitar and she’s lost give her a guitar and some sheet music and she will play for hours if you let her.
 
Good morning everyone from another day in paradise here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this am - mustn’t grumble Mr Dickens we can still almost dry our washing at a reasonable charge for using our washing lines on days that end with the letter Y. The sun has decided to make an appearance. Must get out there and wallow in some vitamin d manufacturing even though the d thing is not a vitamin after all and too much of it turns you into a statue made of calcium - probably the origin of that pillar of salt tale. Assisted dying - people jumping up and down on either side of another fence - not even finished with yet as now going to committee - will they do something about palliative care as well - just have to wait and see but already there is talk of the latest get rich quick schemes on the back of whatever emerges. I’m already buying up empty gel capsules (vegan of course - we don’t want anyone to miss out) and filling them with vim. I make light but it’s a serious issue and I remember the complexities that my sister went through for her end of life agreement in France and the interviews with immediate family members. Anyhow, art bit - a red sky yesterday between the dark and the light; “attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion”. Hope this bit of sunshine warms your bones, best make even more koffy.

Good just on the cusp of Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.

My blood sugars this morning were 5.8

Here in Tilehurst Towers we will be into day 2 of Mrs J’s Christmas decoration assembly.
Mrs J has received a communication from the electricity supplier asking if they will need to run more supply into the house.
I’m just grateful that Mrs J no longer uses candles, think of the global warming issues.

Assisted dying and Black Friday. The cynics amongst us could well be thinking perhaps we should assist the marketing people to die?

Stay safe all.
I am now running for cover…..
 
That is so lovely that your family is so musical. Unfortunately our children inherited my complete lack of musical ability. I really wished that they had inherited Mr K's musical talent.

My father sang, I sing, Alistair sings. No talent at all with instruments other than the voice. Tom's grandfather played any instrument that came to hand, his mother played piano, Tom played any instrument he picked up and Neil plays a multitude of instruments. It must depend on whatever genes you happen to inherit.
 
is that (I hope) Wrexham on fire?
Ha!
