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

Morning...lots of energy here from Charlie & Lola as they stalk one of the many hair grips they've stolen while I tuck into my first Lemsip Max of the day...not sure if I'm feeling better but I'm up & pottering about so that's a bonus...still coughing and blowing my nose on the quarter hour half hour & the hour...my voice sounds like Orson Welles in the sherry advert even the kittens are impressed with it at least they seem to be paying attention for once... a slight improvement waking with a 6.9 and fortunately I didn't have to go out yesterday...may try a little potter down to get some logs once it stops raining.
 
That must have been a tricky conversation with your friend. Are you feeling better (not about your car but the lurgy)?
 
The trouble is Trick you just know how to do too many things. Our youngest is moving into his first home next weekend, a tiny very old cottage which will doubtless need things fixing but Mr PM and my skills only stretch to rolling some pain or some gentle filling. I wont tell him about you.
 
That was really a horrible thing to happen - especially as it was such a special car.
 
Thanks but I am not sure about the fbg. Had a scratch dinner with two pieces of cod loin baked with a jar of Sacla olive & tomato paste, some diced red pepper and extra olives. Bit ready, steady, cook but very tasty. That pic looks like an old tin mine? Take care out in that weather, said it before Dennis is a very clever boy.
 
Just seen this post, glad you stayed in yesterday and have today to get better. Hope those logs arent “wet”.
 

Horrible thing to happen to a classic.

When I was at the AA we would joke with broken down Beamers that the fault was the flasher unit or rather, the lack of one. I had a theory that BMW owners once owned a Ford Capri of some sort

classic..
your on form today..

for those who go for tramps in woods..(ooh err)
i wondered if this might be of interest..deadline loooming it seems

While asleep my bg, just for giggles... thought ti would be funny to drag me up to Six rivers Falls,
so a 6.3 this AM..poor nights sleep..mmhh or maybe the meal for two madame bought me yesterday,
she was out to friends so a meal for two became a meal for one greedy mangeur gourmand

It did come WITH the bottle of wine that i suppose COULD have lasted a few days,

but if i'm honest, i'm a bit of a worry wart these days over food n drink
and wasn't sure of the use by date, so thought ..
"JJ why EVEN take the chance it's Gone Off....."

So did the decent thing and put it out of it's misery.

rather delicious..if a little pancake free..


winds picking up now and again here in the Capital.

Scooter works done (for now), speedo working now so i can see how slow i'm really going..
(quite nippy to be honest, BUT i LOVE looking at the fuel gauge, and seeing it's down at the 1/4 full marker
and thinking.

.OMG what and HOW have i wasted ALL of that that £7.00 it cost to fill her* up ......

(*VAR; Official name change over ruled.

Google+.. (missus ) ...has deemed it an 'illegal' name change.
and Officially declared true name is Pablo....Pablo Piaggio, and case closed

I rather quite like it, so have gracefully accepted the decision handed down by the Supreme Court

Have a good un all.

Take care of the people you love
But take even better care of the
people that Love you.

Nice pic @DJC.

I though hubby would be bigger..
oh well ..as long as your happy together..
 
Evidently burning wood or coal is even worse for the environment than flying abroad on holiday or taking a bus ride to Cleathorpes. Very soon we will be told that keeping one dog is worse than keeping a landrover and god forbid that you have more than one child - very polluting and increases the amount of sweet shops.
 
6.0 this morning. Have to confess that I didn't cut down the cream yesterday as I said I would and my meter definitely didn't let me get away with it.

Archie is on his last day of antibiotics and is much more himself. Will add a little Manuka honey to his food for a few days just to make sure he continues to improve.

Doggie walks postponed until later as it is very windy and a bit wet at the moment.
 
Read this and checked the sofas (black leather so fairly obvious) with a white glove. No woodburner here and just no particulates/dust/ash as there were in old house. Quite interesting. What with the 2 dogs, RR and a LR back there we must have been a nightmare. Likely to replace the 2 dogs, keep/upgrade the cars but free delivery on Sashimi here and maybe a gas fire so that should reduce our emissions! Not sure it helps greatly with hundreds of huge aircraft within a 5 mile radius.

@ gennepher - blown away by that picture. I get evocative memories of wonderful times when I look at it. Thank you so much.

The Forum International House of Pancakes is a future plan, just show a post & pushover Chef Barb will do a bogof for you *smirking*

If I can drag myself down to our local Tesco's (10-15 minute drive) they have kiln dried logs & smokeless coal...the wet logs are more difficult to burn here...only have a little cottage fire place...making more chicken soup today temptation is to make dumplings might try some with almond flour.
 
Good Morning and a 5.8 today. Windy and wet here I was hoping for a Muddy Bike ride, some sun promised, fingers crossed.

I feel we will be demanised into not burning wood, I burn only Kiln dried but already my neighbours are keen to point out 'you won't be able to have your wood stove lit very soon' A bit like what will happen with diesel and petrol cars. A changing world.
Agree re Tilley Hat but so useful, UV protection, warm and cool, looks better the older it gets and it can be washed. Apparently even guaranteed to be replaced if lost or wears out no matter how old. Love the view from your window.
Sounds good fun, I used to love flipping them, the higher the better. Enjoy!
Wow, another winning piece of art. A dark brooding place of vast heights, or a gentle flow between some small rocks, I can see either depending on how I look at it.
@dunelm Trampoline! I'm impressed with your present aches and pains, take care.
@ianpspurs you seem to be cracking on with your garden, when is your first crop going in?

So enjoy today and be adventurous.
 
But they are also talking of banning gas heating.! Still you will be well hidden with all those flying machines about when the Carbon Van Detectors start to visit the streets.
 

I MIGHT have thought that having factories churning out endless new products to replace old products that still have years in them would be an ecological disaster, ..but i was wrong obviously.

Nice to know the world conferences on CC and the such, will still be readily accessible by so many important peoples and celebs of course ..
( i'm mean what government doesn't need some rich superficial air head telling us proles, why we are oh so wrong and misinformed to want to DO what THEY only do because THEY have to... )

all of course while using the very latest £1000's tech available, because you just know the iphone/galaxy, etc all stop working once the latest tech arrives, and it's not like the natives digging out the unlimited elements from the soil really need decent wages, clean water to drink or air that's not polluted, after all.. THEY aren't celebs darlink, are they....(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Foxconn_suicides)

I think we are all being railroaded into CC adaptions that MAY not be in our best interests or of the planet as a whole.
reminded very much of the famous lines re the holocaust, where the lines state they don't come for you as all, they come for you one by one, and by the time it's your turn, there is NO one left to speak for you.

yesterday meat,
today logs and fuel
tomorrow personal transport
and the list just grows...

Cough..'oops,, steps down off soap box, realises few really care"

oh, well..back in line.and back to watching them replacing the worlds economy by declaring everything redundant and making us buy new products to replace them with..
