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

Yes I know I should be in bed, but I'm not!

Interesting day as family at the nod of a head and the blink of an eye grew from 3 granddaughters to 3 granddaughters and 3 potentiomal grandsons, phew what a shock to the system, I now know what a boxing referee feels like.

Wildlife Centre Visit was great, did all the nature trails, learnt that a Peregrine Falcon can fly at 200 mph, played lots of silly games, sword fights, wizards, pirates, home made boat races on the stream all whilst negotiating the flood plains of the river Trent. I also have three fans seen below...


@DJC3 these are the three creators of the snow drops art. Thank you for the compliment I will pass it on.

@jjraak I see what you mean about Mount Fuji but the inspiration for the painting came from @Ryhia mentioning Canadian Bears. Your job interview seemed to go well, fingers crossed. Oh, I gave up years ago trying to convince Mrs MC which car we should buy, non of the ones I wanted met the criteria, leather heated seats and the subdued dash lighting of exactly the right tone and colour. Although Mrs MC did discover a Sports Gear Box and Suspension option in a car about 3 cars back so all cars since have had to have those options also.

@Ryhia I will try and finish the painting Saturday, that's today where does time go? But Muddy Cycle Ride first.

@dogslife hug for discomfort but at least you knowteeth and gums OK, hope you improve quickly.

@Debandez when you posted 'I got a warm fuzzy feeling reading this post.' Were you still sat on that new cars heated seat.

@ianpspurs you mentioned your neighbours decorating doors with Wreaths. Our next door neighbour is Canadian and changes Wreathes every season, maybe it's a season thing.

3am this is crazy must go to bed.

BG now 5.5 lets see what Dawn delivers.
 
Thanks very much for the info
 

Another here here pasted . I saved Karen's poem too. Shared it on my fb as very inspirational. @dunelm for Headmaster.
 
What is your new car like? Is it fun to drive?

Meet 'Anna'. Eric wanted her to be called Elsa (from Frozen!). But I said Anna (not only from frozen but my dear mums name). A lovely white white too if you know what I mean. Not only 50 shades of grey these days.

She is identical to our past 3 cars but newer. We love the drive she gives but also the space. Used as a van when we have projects on.

Found this amazing cheese yesterday in Sainsburys. Made my omelette even more delicious. Sharing the love.

I think some American can manufacturer needs to invent a cooled steering wheel. I have never heard of a heated one before, but many many times I have gotten into a car in the summertime only to have the steering wheel too hot to touch. Modern padded steering wheels are only slightly less hot than the older hard ones.
 
I choose for the colour regardless of how many wheels it has or if it even has an engine ;-)
 

GM 03:38...
Secret Mission. the LOO.
Primary Objective. get to loo in shortest time possible
Secondary Mission to do that WITHOUT waking the missus.

03:30 success..Loo has been stormed..Little or No resistance.
Moving back to Location ONE.

MISSION ABORT..ABORT....Enemy contact..:***::***::***:

SITREP: Ambushed by cat on way back from loo for cuddles and/or food.
Currently under house arrest and being checked very 'Closely' for Contraband,
by the head Honcho of the Furry Militia.

YES, Of Course i broke ..who wouldn't under that kind of INTENSE questioning
yep, Folded like a cheap deck of cards.
Showed him were the 'Stash; was but he already KNEW that..
( Think Base security has been compromised.... )



Gave him a little snack,..then thought "just one QUICK look..perhaps.."..FATAL. Schoolboy error
Blue light kills the sleepy gene stone dead..(well almost )

So now kettle on, tea brewing.

night all...
 

Anna is lovely! Thank you for posting her picture. The name "Anna" has family associations for me too.
The cheese is making me hungry.
 

That sounds one amazing day with the grandkids @Muddy Cyclist
I absolutely love the portrait of them with the fans!!!
Brilliant!!
 
Dont read my last post! You will need the Kleenex!!!
 

Copy that, LOO 1, now I know the problem in my own home. It's the blue "off" light on the TV.
It rouses the KittenCat from slumber and makes her think she is hungry.
I hate getting up to go to the bathroom before daylight, because almost every single time I do I wake the KittenCat, who immediately decides it is time for breakfast. She has food out round the clock, but of course none of it will do at a quarter to dawn.
 

I'm watching this like a hawk. So sad for China. Wuhan especially as the epicentre and so many infected. I watch videos on twitter and find what I'm seeing and hearing very worrying. Let's hope they get a handle on this 'virus' quickly. Outside China cruise ships particularly vulnerable I feel. Hoping the next month sees it disappear as fast as it came.
 

V. Funny. Make me a cuppa too please, I'm joining you on this mission impossible You really should apply for MI5 job. You have ALL the terminology under your belt so a great start. 'The name is James.....James Bond'. If you can say this in the voice of Sean Connery you've clinched it!

That said, I like the sound of your potential new boss, like their style. Pub interview!

EDIT: no sugar in my tea thanks I'm diabetic and sweet enough ;-)
