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

early test gave me another day in my fav place....with a Dano friendly 5.6..

see we have the first corona cases now.

a quick thought

IF "feed a cold, starve a fever" is true.

Does that mean people have always known that carbs..( as in the starve part.. Which is what most eat the most of ) are OR can impact on us in a very negative way..?
 
7.4 this rainy morning.

Sometimes irony is funny; other times it just makes me wonder ...
I was just reading the BBC News web page about Brexit, and right in the middle of all the news this ad popped up:

 

Thank you for the reminder.
When I was fixing breakfast this morning I thought of John 6:27.
 

MeoWow! Hello, Popeye! ^. .^ I love it when a portrait's eyes follow one as one moves around the room.
Brilliant painting of a very handsome fellow.

Hugs for the 13s.

Thank you. Possibly more excited about the plumbers brazing tool but very kind of you. Forgot to mention Julie bought some very aspirational hot cross buns and I may need to conduct some research on a small portion of one of those.

What are you going to braze?

Initially, 80 years worth of my parents and grandparents papers, a Christmas tree and several chairs, After that the world is your lobster, Terrence Myself and No 3 son fancy treating some wooden boards with this as well. Far too dangerous for No 1 son (who happens to be an H and S expert for the British Legion)

Congratulations from me and hope to follow suit later in the year. I’m not telling Mr PM about the brazing tool, he got excited enough about the flaming weedkiller
Were they the chocolate and cherry Hot Cross buns by any chance which I only allowed myself to glance at yesterday in the W shop.
 
Thank you. Mr PM would be in his element with the brazing tool. If you follow suit, which I pray you will, Mr PM will surely need a bonfire and such a tool is indispensable Not the weird hybrid monstrosities that taste forgot but these huge bad boys. They looked forlorn near the checkout so we re-homed some https://www.waitrose.com/ecom/products/no1-perfectly-fruited-hot-cross-buns/473203-679379-679380

Yes, I do agree that portions have got so much bigger since the 70s. The Labradors absolutely love going to cafe's and restaurants because they know that I cannot eat the huge portions of meat or chicken that are served nowadays.
 
Mr PM does like a bonfire, its a milestone birthday this year so the brazer could be just the thing. Sigh...I do miss HC buns of all varieties..it would take half a pack of butter to carb and fat match probs. All those buns eaten in my life and worrying over the healthy spread. In the W Weekend magazine the nutritionist tells someone its not the carbs that make you fat but what you put with them. Really?
 
Double cream in the mix, (sourdough starter), Kerrygold (grass fed) and bulletproof tea, hour on exercise bike (or not) jobs a good 'un. Just weighed one - 92 gms - may need extra thick cream as well

good afternoon all

was 4.7 today

off out earlyish to take wee Katy to the vets, not for anything dire, just to be weighed and get a worming tablet. 2.2Kg she weighs now, so she's a slightly bigger ball of fluff and energy than she was last month

We took Katy for a walk after the vets, it's amazing how many people want to talk to her then we took lunch back and spent a couple of hours with Mum afterwards.

Home again now and looking forward to reading through the thread and viewing the art gallery

Hope your day is treating you well

Does remind me that I need to schmooze a whole new set of W ....se deli ladies, fish and meat staff whose children I didn't teach, when we move. Current crop now well trained in LCHF ideas and "as it's you have this last bit free" bless 'em. Am I up to the task these days?
