Lovely to see the clip of the original badger family and your lovely kaleidoscope
 
Good morning everyone from yet another hour forward here in French Froggy France where the number of degrees of centigrade is quite promising.
Blood sugars will surely be able to be measured but a lack of suitable tools for the job evades anything meaningful.
A strangely unfussy journey - traffic flow on the roads was fine.
Airport experience went as well as an airport experience can be (we laughed our way through the so called duty free sights and smells).
Plane took off and landed as shown on our tickets.
Tram ride across Bordeaux - fine.
The train doors were closing though as we got onto the platform but a push of the button later and on we were. I did have to buy the train tickets on the French ticket app as the train pulled out of the station but all was well.
Lovely evening spent with mother. We will accompany her on the red dalek round the supemarket this morning and then go for lunch at her favourite restaurant.
Art bit - a bit of colour from a couple of days ago.
Hope your daily swim is in calm and warm waters. I have a cafetière of koffy to concentrate on.

The extra bit of colour works on this... @dunelm
 
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
A very big thank you to @gennepher for the information you kindly provided. Arty pherty stuff folks.

Blood sugars this morning were a disaster, an absolute disaster darlings. 4.1 no operating machinery, only driving Mrs J round the bend with my inane prattling on till Mrs J pressed some monies into my hand and sent me out and about. :)

Writing about Mrs J, hopefully attached is her latest painting, neither Mrs J or me, me’s and myself are overly keen on this painting.

Stay safe all

Keen or not, some complexity in this
 
6.3 at 04.00 today. Dropped to below 4 for some reason, while I was out. Had to use the can of sweetened coffee kept in the car for emergencies to stop the drop. Worked well - just the right amount of rise back to the 5's.

It was the day for my 2nd iron infusion, so I couldn't just leave the BG to drop away. The nurses in that department are good - both times they've found a vein first time. That's unusual for me.

I wonder how long it should take for the iron to have an effect - that's if it does, of course.

You are welcome Alf...

Oh dear... about your feelings on the painting, there is a awful lot of intricate work and time in this.....
 
Friends of ours. Were foster parents some while back one of their foster children who we knew and are friends on facebook posted a painting he had done of his dog the other day I thought if it’s ok I would share it.

6.6 this morning.

Just a few more days before the start of the Easter Vacation. Am really looking forward to it.

Beautiful sunny day - although a little chilly. Off to classes in Beetley Village hall. Bonnie is looking forward to her meet and greet with class members.
 
6.5 this morning.
Temperature here is 4 degrees but sunny spent quite some time sitting out in the backyard /garden yesterday in the sun much happier now that spring has sprung.
I had a thought the other day while sitting in the hospital waiting room a simple solution to the bed shortage crisis within the NHS bunk beds.
