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

That's wonderful news about MrK.
 
The cat re-distribution system appears to have given me a very large ginger stray cat... so he appears to be my new stray cat. He is quite a handsome looking cat and comes every time I put food down...
Possible names for new ginger cat...
Marmalade
Ginger Snap...Ginge for short
Rusty
Orlando

Which name did you choose? I hope he is ok with all the other cats.
 
Good happy national bin day fellow posters and painters.
I thought I wood attach a picture of what fires up the get up and go, where I know knot, but never mind.
Mrs J will soon sort me, me’s and myself out.
I have been shouted at twice this morning and clawed back a few brownie points by helping unload the food delivery, don’t worry the brownie points will not last long. Pictured is my early morning Welsh mug and cafetière.
I hope you all stay warm and find something that’s make you smile.
Sad the pain, insert an o instead of the a.
Now I must go, Mrs J is sorting through some more of my clothes and if I don’t interfere, well I’m ugly with clothes on and I’m worse naked.
 
@gennepher Have had similar soup disasters myself. But not making soup atm because it requires long simmering and we have as yet no extraction in the kitchen or  anywhere. Am getting agitated about the risk of damp and mould and indeed did find some mouldy chopping boards today, so not unfounded anxiety.
 
Thank you for sharing that Alf. It seems to me these are tough times for you but throughout them that thread of humour and positivity of yours shines through as does the love of Mrs A J - God bless her. Of course the Welsh dragon on that mug is important to you - its who we are mate (Angeball rides again). Don't apologise, don't explain. There is too much hiding who we really are in C21st southern England. I can't speak about the rest because I just don't have the bandwidth to try to understand it. Take care and enjoy your hot beverage of choice - whatever your choice of quaint device for creation and consumption This, it had to be piano black apparently, because JKP (gel with a N'espresso) stepped in and said "no Ian, you're not" to the machine I really wanted, is how I do coffee (how woke is that?) if I touch the stuff - plain white (Starbucks) mug obviously, I'm not a heathen. Have a great day folks and God bless you all as unique but very similar.

Thank you for your kind words.
Good Afternoon all and if you are wondering who or what “ Angeball “ is, I wandered onto google and amongst all the options the most likely option was the reference to a foot the ball manager of Tottenham Hotspurs who had a reputation for being tough.
 
Thanks Alf - small point but it is never, never Hotspurs, just Hotspur.
 
What a clever cat Midnight is @gennepher. Lovely painting @gennepher
 
Thank you for sharing that amazing piece of art @gennepher. I like that very much.
 
5.5 this morning

Last couple of days really busy but have now caught up with the posts.

We may have a new cleaner starting Monday. She is coming to see us tomorrow afternoon. After the cleaner we had booked let us down - in desperation I posted on our local Facebook community page and it looks like we may have got lucky.
 
Orlando @SlimLizzy
Yes, he is integrating himself....
 
Oh dear @SlimLizzy more cleaning to do...
 
Mrs L has been told to remain having bed rest. It seems that having another day is the best.
6.3 today.
More phone calls and counselling. So much going on and support coming from all directions. Soon.
A lot of time with grandchild #1 this morning getting online to the right website and getting passwords done. And the site had changed the parameters of our initial declaration.
I have written a long reply.
Another team is getting involved. So that will be another authoritive voice.
Weather is freezing but no snow, but the stargazing is brilliant.
No garden duties but kitchen duties have occupied most of the rest of my time.
Lamb for Mrs L, fish for hours truly.
My best wishes.
Stay warm and if you are getting snow, a lot of salt is always handy, and persuade or bribe one of your grandkids to clear the path for you. You know it makes sense.
Make it so
