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

No idea where this post is going but I hope it goes via the places I intend. A year ago today a surgeon removed a growth from my bladder ending about 3 weeks of pain, worry and intrusive procedures. His skill was the culmination of excellent and speedy care from the morning I first became aware of a problem. My then GP, Hinchingbrooke Hospital and Peterbrough City Hospital dealt with me truly professionally. Timing is all and I thank God for the care I had and the fact that it was last year not now or during lockdown. My heart goes out to those whose health has deteriorated/become impossible to save because of COVID. I don't know my fbg really as this sensor is unreliable but showed 4.1 Tee 2 showed Err 1 several times so I gave up. Dealing with the fall out from last year is obviously the elephant in the room but I am increasingly frustrated by my efforts to manage T2. Great art @Muddy Cyclist @dunelm @gennepher @geefull and @Alien Aspie. Artist or Technician you are creative. @karen8967 sorry about the effects of Special fried rice but I bet it tasted fantastic.

Evening all possibly fake news, but just had notification that sprouts are going to be rationed over Christmas, but also due to multiple local lockdowns Christmas could be brought forward to Nov, not sure of the date yet.
Best get your orders in for sprouts.
Again I cannot verify this news.
When and if I get confirmation I shall let our fellow posters and painters know.

Oh no. I love sprouts so will rush out today and stock up the freezer. I used to hate sprouts but lately have noticed that they are much sweeter. Probably makes them higher carb - but for me they are now edible.

Inspired by @ianpspurs fenland artists and my sons cottage view over the Dove Valley flood planes which always look wet I have done a quick A4 watercolour sketch ready for my next and last rainy day painting. A quick 15 minutes, I will try and start or complete a proper painting Sunday.

That's a stunning painting. All the more a amazing because it only took 15 minutes.

It was worth it ian but wont be repeated anytime soon
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who inhabit this bank holiday Sunday.

A testing 5.5 this morning on the meter of mystery and naughtiness. No motorcycling today, but a busy active day treating the shed / workshop to a lick of preservative. Going to be juggling insulin dosage again. Drat **** and blast, but such is life. Onwards and upwards ( on a ladder ).

Yesterday we had our grandchildren here for the day, not supervised by their parents. Much merriment and many telling off's by Mrs J for me and me's, the children call me crazy grandad. I'm well into my third childhood.
They asked me if they could help me make them some swords. Note: the swords don't need to be a work of art, their imagination provides that, the swords just need to be functional and able to withstand a right old bashing .IMG_30082020_084002_(1080_x_1080_pixel).jpg .
