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

 
@PenguinMum
I made a mess of my reply to you.
It put my reply inside your quote and wouldn't let me take it out however many times I tried to edit it!!!

So here is my reply again!!!

Sounds like you had a good day.

Yes, maybe I could write a book though. I can still remember enough to fill a book, and in the absence of early impromptu photos or opportunity photos that a smartphone can give us this day, I can draw a picture. But I do have plenty of print/paper photos. I had an SLR then.

You have given me an idea for a project
 


It is always hard to know these things. Tell your daughter to be kind to herself.
Hugs for her.
 

We can only do our best at any point of time with what life throws at us. And this is what you are doing. So this makes you a winner in my eyes.

Tea is good!!!!!
Always time for a cuppa!

I can't find a smiley for a cuppa!

Thank you for the kind words but .... Doing my best doesn't cut it for me. "Winning," "achieving" doing things "correctly" but to a recognisably good/high level is always what I want. If my best doesn't meet those standards I need to improve my best asap. I will watch football tonight and rugby on Saturday hoping every one of the Spurs and England players has that same desire and would be bitterly disappointed if they don't/ didn't. Just the way I am but thanks.

Morning...a better nights sleep last night...it's so difficult to get back to a regular pattern after the late night and early morning arrivals home during the last couple of weeks...slowly easing myself back into a routine with sleep & food...its been carb overload at full speed recently...Taking Georgia home this morning...then back to try to catch up with things here...another mountain of paperwork waiting for me and house to be put back in order (amazing how one little person can create such havoc)...woke to a 6.8

I was very good yesterday, managed a two-mile walk, mowed the rear lawns, and only had a steak and some cabbage for dinner at 6pm

FBG this morning at 0600 (12 hour fast)... 6.2

Think I'll go back to crumpets

You did the 2 mile walk, mowed the rear lawns and managed a 12 hour fast so all good. Several people have commented that their fbg lags a day - makes sense - so #crumpetgate may have hit the meter today and yesterday's fine work might be along tomorrow.
 
Good morning from the dark, dangerous and so far extremely quiet north.

The wonder wheel of Spring cleaning at the dark side of the calendar (a Pink Floyd moment) kicked out a 4.3 this am

We have found a charity called weeecharity.co.uk that recycles electrical stuff, especially computers. They also guarantee to carry out a hard drive data wipe although I have done that. So far we have six laptops, a large monitor, an Apple Extreme hub, an HP printer used but in it’s box and 10 mobile phones. Since retiring they have sat in our attic but now that Which magazine pointed us at this charity, we are sending them their way (they will collect).

Squashes abound at this time of year so last night was an acorn squash, halved top to bottom, roasted and then filled with a bacon, onion, cheese quiche mix. Also good stuffed with some cauliflower mash, topped with cheese and shoved under the grill.

Have a great day if you can, Spring Clean on the (almost) opposite side of the calendar if you can’t; it’s like buying Easter eggs in the January sales.
 
That is a lovely tale re your dog I bought a lab when my kids were a lot younger and found her too much for everything else that was happening in my life at the time and eventually had her rehomed . Always felt a bit guilty but she when to a 2 parent home with 3 active teenagers and they managed far better than I did . Which of course meant the dog had a better life too .
 
5.0 this morning. Very happy with that. All day yesterday numbers were lurking in the low 4s - even though I spent most of the day glued to my computer doing admin.

Unfortunately, I found more admin to do than I had bargained for - but hopefully I will be able to fit it all in.

Plans changed suddenly yesterday when the hospital rang to offer husband a scan on the trapped nerve in his elbow today at 9.30am as they had a cancellation. So he is off to the hospital shortly and I have unexpectedly some more admin time.

Then hopefully he is back in time for our lunch at The Twenty Church Wardens and then we will do our planned morning walk at Oxburgh Hall or Gooderstone Water Gardens in the afternoon.

So great to get a bit more admin done and still have a lovely day out.
 
Hope Mr @Krystyna23040 has a postive outcome from the hospital and the walk and meal go well. Oh, just looked up the 20 Church Wardens.

This is what we have that passes for cat yoghurt here...
There are others, but this is on Amazon
https://www.amazon.co.uk/cat-yoghurt/s?k=cat+yoghurt

I did look at Amazon.com but all I can find is some that originates from Japan.

Don’t know is that is any help.
 
Fascinated by the variety in Popeye’s and KC’s diet. My two have Whiskas dried tuna biscuits and tinned tuna and and though I have tried fish or chicken or any meat its a firm No! Our old cat loved custard which we only discovered when we left some in kitchen before clearing up. We once found him in the into sink licking the ice cream bowls. He also liked a turkey dinner with gravy at Christmas but refused chicken.
