Which Dutch town and by which Dyke does Richard live in and what's his van go to do with anything? Is he a dustbin man? I'm very confused.

I have just been practising my Bass Recorder for next weeks gig, very difficult without the rest of the quartet so I wonder if you can whistle along please I need Soprano, Alto and Tenor parts to the following....
The Floral Dance
In the Month of Maying.
Eye Level Theme to the Archers
Red Rose Rag.

If you can all start doing it at spot on 1800 hours in that order it will help.

Oh and my pre evening meal BG is 5.6 so no carbs tonight.
 
I just had an experiment to test my carb tolerance. I ordered a big pizza!

My blood sugar measured before eating was 96 mg/dl (5.3 mmol/l)

2h after the first bite my reading is 160 mg/dl (8.88 mmol/l)

To be honest I expected worse result. I think I might be able to eat junk food in the future

well we all slip off piste at some point, as i well know..

but the rise, as you probably know is meant to be under 2..so 5.3 to 7.3
ok, iv'e been above as well, so just saying.

however, the link below my sig,
https://www.bloodsugar101.com/must-you-deteriorate
the lady explains in detail why 8 and above is where the damage begins.
Not to say you can or can't do whatever you want, just wanted to point out a tiny bit of the knowledge imparted to me, from the lovely people on here.

as a one off, sure..which is what i guess you mean, right.

Hope you enjoyed it...
sounds lush..nom, nom, nom.

not had pizza since DX.,..
 
that brought me out into a sweat, not even nstarted my accounts yet! Well done you though
 

Oh our heating has been on for a while now, our wandering thermostat sits on the sky box upstairs until morning when I put it on the bedroom windowsill at around 4.30 in the morning so it’s warm for the wife to get up to, then it goes back on the warm sky box so the heating goes off, it does seem a bit c0ck eyed but it works for us.

Good morning/evening folks, A flat 5.0 means I have cheese on toast on the go this morning, it took three prickings to get any blood out, cold and wet here, cold and wet at work, looks like today I will be mainly cold and wet. Roll on Friday.
 
Okay. Up early again...

Fbg 7.5

The first reading taken in a week (because of Apple update problems, and I was concentrating on that and some issues surrounding it).

I think that fbg is amazingly good for me since I have not been checking anything.
And that jar of Nutella that was consumed spoonful by spoonful...in my defence daughter from Australia left that behind...but you know what, I did enjoy it

And I did have one other blip...in the fish and chip shop that does fresh caught daily fish, they also make a home made savoury. This is potatoes and herbs in the most amazing batter. I succumbed for the first time this year and got one.

Bad idea. Yes, I thoroughly enjoyed eating it. A piece of heaven. Oh but I felt ill for hours afterwards...too many carbs in the potato.

Otherwise I have been good with my eating this last week, still sticking to my eating routine of last few weeks. But I have been eating a little more.

Now, I need to get back into the 6's again for fbg.


About the other matter. The Apple update on my iPhone that wrecked the compatibility with my cochlear processor. I went to a meeting yesterday with other cochlear implantees. We have a coffee once a month and meet to help each other. There is an audiologist who comes and listens etc to our concerns.

They are mostly older people (I am old too!). The oldest is 86 years old. But they are not technologically competent. They can operate phones and tablets (which is brilliant since we are not of the age where we were naturally brought up with computers), but what shocked me was they didn't realise that it was software update that was causing their processor problems. They thought their speech processors were broken.

I gave the audiologist my written stuff and talked with her awhile. It seems the hospital audiology departments have been innundated with hearing aid users, Baha users, and cochlear users because they all thought their devices had broken down. And not understanding that a phone update by Apple can cause all these diverse problems.

There has been nothing on the web about all this specifically as regards MFi users (hearing aid/cochlear users), except more specialist forums, which most people don't appear to realise are there.

The audiologist couldn't understand why Apple couldn't correct the update quickly. This problem thing is still ongoing a month later for hearing aid and cochlear users, and is still causing problems.

The cochlear speech processor problems confused me initially, but I realised it was the Apple update that same day. So how is the average 80 year old, or even 90 year old (yes the oldest cochlear implantee from my hospital is 94), expected to understand the implications of a very bad Apple update, or what exactly is happening to them when the phone is now ringing at a loud level inside their skulls, when it never did that before. Apparently a lot of people were traumatised over this update.

Yet we need the phone and the app on it to control sound and sensitivity levels and to pair our devices to Bluetooth and to connect to Telecoil and much more.

And I cannot bear to hear unexpected noises or even sound alerts now.

It is reprehensible.

Anyway. I like my new Android to replace the iPhone. It is much better and has different features to help deaf people. All alerts are now silent, coming on to the lock screen, or some I have set as vibrating alerts, which I can feel even when the Android is on a table next to me as long as a part of my body is touching the table. I am very sensitive to any vibration.

Coffee beckons.

Cat wants feeding.

I want my morning nuts...salted cashews are my favourite.

Have a good day. Pouring with rain here. Under bedcovers day I think....
