Fair point PM...but we'd need a delivery vehicle no point in a mountain bike think of all those pallets...no...we need an Aston Martin DB8.
 
So that's agreed...mountain bikes for the good guy & the baddie nurses (can we make them DSN's please) and an Aston Martin DB8 for me & @PenguinMum …ps Saskia you & Kitten cat could use a horse
 
@gennepher I love both of those seascapes. I love the sea in all its moods. Thank you for posting yours, and for sharing J's with us. It reminds me of the sea at Hilton Head Island.

I too would like to be in @Ryhia 's lighthouse in that scene. It reminds me of Lake Superior, which in some ways reminds me of the sea.

Hope you can have a good nap later. Hugs.

Sadly they close the pier when the weather gets just slightly rough as it then becomes dangerous. There is actually a tunnel built under the lighthouse to the beachfront in case of emergencies.
 
We all love the sea @SaskiaKC
I like your lighthouse photo.
 
NO! NO! NO! The baddies are chasing me on mountain bikes as I arrive at the settlement trying to escape them feeding me off The Eat Well plate, keep up @HarryBeau

If @SaskiaKC is the producer the Chase will be on Horse Back, I'm up for that although it's been a few years since I did team chasing and my riding boots and jodhpurs fit me again now I'm a 31 inch waist.

Edit....

Ah! But that's no good as I'm known as the Muddy Cyclist.

@jjraak Take Control young sir this is getting out of hand! But I bet I can still get down that Rocky Mountain side on my Mountain Bike faster than any Aston Martin or horse rider.
 

I went to the props dept, found this for you...

 
good afternoon all

4.3 today

the new microwave seems to be a big success

@Debandez I think one of the first things to note about my BG readings is that I lost more than half my body weight over, from memory, about the 18 months after diagnosis, (not an option for everyone), I was extremely obese at diagnosis and had been generally putting on weight since my teens, I've obviously been somewhat carb intolerant for a long time but, like almost everyone else, I tried to follow the standard dietary 'advice' for many, many years

I now eat a mix of two and three times a day, depends on when I have my 'main meal' (eg. Sunday it's mid afternoon), but I usually try not to eat much after 6pm, if I'm hungry in the evening I try to keep it to a snack of protein I aim for under 80g of carb a day, so not ultra LC. I tend to know when my weekly carb average has crept because I put weight on

I have noticed that if I do a lot of exercise my fasting bg can be higher, almost as if my body is increasing the base level of reserve available Likewise, if I don't eat at tea time or get up a bit later in the morning I do get a bit of dp.

I have great admiration for people who can do IF but it no longer suits me not to eat fairly regularly, before diagnosis, when I had a big buffer of onboard fat, I could go hours past a mealtime without worrying about it, now I sometimes get a bit stressed if I don't eat.

Probably TMI @Debandez but if any information I have can be helpful it's available. We're all different people I know and one size does not fit all

Hope your day is treating you well
