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

Not funny I know but you had me laughing @HarryBeau
Hugs for you and your knee
 
Sadly my fbg has gone up this morning at 4 am
First try 7.6
Second try 6.9

I had nuts for breakfast yesterday.
Before I went out, I was in a rush and had boiled eggs and ate two at midday. I wasn't hungry and hadn't felt like eating.
By the time I got home, and sorted cat etc, it was 6 pm, so it was 5 fish fingers out of the freezer (cooked of course). I still didn't feel hungry, I don't.
Black coffee and tea and a cup of chicory coffee at bedtime. And a tiny packet of pork scratchings.

So, therefore, it must have been the breakfast McMuffin, the day before, which reduced my fbg for yesterday....honest........

Today, the nuts have been eaten for breakfast. I have to use up a packet of sliced meat in the fridge, and some ready to eat salmon, so that is me over next couple of days. No more fish fingers left...but some frozen fish bits...

Anyway, here is my painting contribution for my painting a day challenge to myself...


Acrylics for background.
A4 size.
Japanese fude pen for the trees.
Paint sticks for the ferns and moss.
Have a good day.
Take care.
Hugs if you need them.
 
lord iveaghs little pub was just that when i first went in there just over forty years ago two small rooms and half a dozen regulars it certainly looks as if it changed a bit!
just remembered ..my grandfather was a shepherd on good old earl iveaghs estate in the sixties...apparently one of his flock died of complications where he should have called the vet out..as far as i know he got instant dismissal ,had to leave the tied cottage,moved out to the ipswich area to a little cottge which my father and my uncle had to quickly renovate for them to move in..the stress involved probably brought on a massive heart attack,,he spent a long wile in bury hostpital.and a very early memory for me is having to stand in the corridor whilst my mum visited her dad as children were verboten!..

Morning All. 6.0 so still accepting postcards from McGarrett Plains.
All the discussion about electric cars, bannng open fires, banning meat, etc just doesnt fit in with how we live in this country outside of the cities. A good many of us live in houses that are 100 years or more old, I live in an area where we dont have piped gas and have frequent power cuts, its called the country. To only allow electric cars would depend on first rate public transport and a lot more of it. The country would ground to a halt. To restrict meat would get rid of the good farmers and rely on cheap imports of much inferior produce. We can all make an effort and I dont waste anything if it can be recycled but we have to bear in mind USA India and China are just not into Climate Change so why be so drastic here. Someone needs to be realistic.
Happy St Valentines day everyone. Stay well, stay safe

Oh that description of an evening at yours is more fun than anything I’m used to. Thank goodness you didnt break anything, I think the fizz was necessary for shock.

And pic.. Quite ethereal come to mind, oddly.

Can see why Mr PM thought you was a keeper..
 
Thank you a calm and serene setting in my favourite blues and greens. I have the giant fishfingers (Wait**** are best) because there is less breadcrumb to fish ratio but there may be other versions. I love them and rhey are not disastrous.

My car is essential here Saskia...we're rural I see a bus on the odd occasion not often...the local station has been closed for years the next accessible station is a ten minute drive...and for folk ike me who never know what time they'll finish work I'd be stuck & unemployed without my own vehicle
