Good morning @trick60 - sympathy for the cold - not a problem for me today. 5.6 for me this morning - not at the required standard. Like Poch and the current Spurs squad, for all the pampering and plaudits no trophies for a 5.6 fbg. Law of small numbers, little things mean a lot, marginal gains, the score takes care of itself. Somewhere in yesterday's journey those fractions were added. @dunelm congratulations on the safe arrival of another granddaughter ( we need to facetime a 7 year old grandson today). Fbg may be off but the bigger picture can be found in Psalm 56 v 11-12. Have a great day.

5.9 this morning which is fine and dandy.

I was woken by the dawn chorus of plastic against steel, yes it is British Heritage Day, or as we like to call it... Bin Day.

I think I shall root out my thermal undercrackers as the temp seems mighty chilly for my walk.

Her ladyship made my heart flutter by presenting me with a dry air fryer for services rendered, a new toy for the old boy. Enjoy your day
 
Fbg 7.8

Why the rise from the 6's?

Because two days ago I was in Lidl and they put out some freshly baked low GI seeded bread. That was me a goner...

I love this bread with just butter.

So that was Monday.

Tuesday's fbg was still in 6's but Tuesday I also had this bread and butter, and fried a slice with butter and two fried eggs...heaven!

But my system cannot have bread two days running or more. My blood sugars start rising and can take a day or so to get down again.

So, I will be good today. Eating nuts now with a black coffee. Chicken and mushrooms are planned for lunch. Maybe more nuts this afternoon or some pork scratchings if I am feeling like nibbling.

I am still dreaming of @PenguinMum 's giant fish fingers she said she had awhile ago....but I haven't gone past that aisle yet in Iceland.

Iceland are very cruel at the moment. Right by the door are massive bargain packs of crumpets...8 for 79p. There is a bargain freezer place right next door to Iceland and there seems to be a local price war between the two of them.

Have a beautiful brilliant day
 

Thanks for the reminder @OldButBold to put my bins out for tomorrow!!!
Enjoy your air fryer

Thanks my friend, a bath? Now I've not had one of those for 10 years I'll stick to the stretching and heated water bottles which Mrs MC keeps me supplied with although I am quite capable of doing them myself, I'm enjoying the pampering

Ahhh, so that's where @OldButBold is hanging out

Sorry for your higher than wanted scores @gennepher but at least you have a good idea what is causing them.
 

You have just reminded me of a lovely hymn I used to know, years ago, based on 32:7. Thanks be to God!
 
Morning...a better sleep last night can't say woken & entirely refreshed but feeling a little more energised than the precious few days...shopping arriving this morning so no trawling around the supermarket thank goodness...a little paperwork to complete then feet up...okay one coffee in the heating about to go on...an air fryer to find...woke to a 6.2 relatively relieved lots of comfort food yesterday almost a lucky escape you might say.
