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

good afternoon all :)

4.3 this morning

very frosty all day today, many layers were worn ;)

out earlyish today to pick up some bits then went to the pharmacy to get my flu jab, "no pharmacist trained to do injections", back to the nearest town to home, tried again, "no vaccine, waiting for our new supply" grump, phooey, mutter mutter :banghead: :hilarious:

over to mum's with lunch then mr gee and his mum went to our Health Practice flu clinic and at least they managed to get it done ;) I stayed at mum's to Katy sit and after the clinic visit mum sprang a random selection of shopping calls on mr. gee.

I thought the queue must have been endless at the clinic for them to be away so long but turns out it was just the queue at the shops ;)

Hope your day is treating you well :)

Thats very frustrating for you. Our tiny Boots in the next village makes appointments for the flu jab we were both able to get ours done on a Sat handy as Mr PM at work otherwise.
 
My favorite Christmas commercial--

And speaking of Christmas, today I took my music stand out of its case and set it up and set my recorder book on its rack, and played my soprano recorder for awhile, trying to remember the fingering for the written notes instead of playing by ear. I don't know if I will volunteer to join the music group that is already in rehearsals, but if my former fellow musician doesn't want to play and sing duets this year, maybe I can find someone to do an instrumental with.

Just noticed the "morning/evening" bit, made me smile, I'm not entirely with it at silly o'clock in the morning.

Wow you are getting in the Christmas mood. I love the idea you unpacked your recorder to practise and I really hope you get to team up in the music group! No end to your talents. How did the KC like the impromptu rehearsal?

I've just started reading a novel that mentions a couple who have abandoned London for the wilds of Surrey having 'swapped urban amenities for rural bliss.' Interesting timing for reading this book!

I use a variety of different BUFFs under helmet and around my neck when out on my Mountain Bike, I love the many different ways you can tie them, today was the balaclava method but I still had one around my neck to fight Jack Frost.
I have also now taken to wearing them under my Flat Caps and Fedora hats, warm but also keep the hats clean and free from those horrid grease stains. You could wear a BUFF like a chefs hat when doing your new found pastime of cooking, cool man.


@SaskiaKC we are now rehearsing many Christmas Recorder quartet and quintet pieces. I love the quintet music for 2 trebles, tenor and 2 Bass Recorders a very different sound, we have 5 recorder gigs before Christmas Day, alongside choir and folk group ones so busy, busy. This weekend we are doing a 2 hour performance which will include many of the famous Sheffield Carols, great fun to sing.

After yesterday's furniture moving for MIL carpet fitting, have slowly developed worse and worse sciatica pain. This mornings bike ride helped but I'm now having to do lots of stretching exercises grrrrrrrr! Gigs will be interesting if it does not mend quick.
