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

Good morning everyone on an all things dull yet beautiful start to this 80th anniversary of D Day here in the dark and dangerous north. Something is rotten in the state of DC. Trump, Musk, Epstein-Barr; a wire brush and a bottle of Detol needed perhaps?
5.8 this a.m.
Number one on today’s agenda was wishing our only grandson many happy returns on his 16th birthday. Special treat will be a 3 hour English paper - one of the 24 papers in his GCSE schedule and focused entirely upon achieving the required results for his conditional offer on an engineering apprenticeship.
Art bit - acrylic inks. Mainly doing their own thing and then a bit of teasing and tidying up.
Hope your day is a good one. The other day may have been great but today is the important one so best make the most of this koffy.

Your acrylic inks look interesting @dunelm
 
Good morning everyone on a pale and sterile washed out forum, bereft of life, like picking at the bones of some long dead creature discovered under the blistering sun of a Spaghetti Western. Not pleasant. Will have a look at settings when my eyes have adjusted to the glare.
5.8 this a.m.
Art bit - it’s ink but that’s as much as I know.
Best go before looking at this page turns into an ersatz Diabetes eye test with free squirty stingy stuff.

Happy birthday to your grandson for yesterday and I do hope his exam went well.

Trying since early to get in though ...
Finally...
Virtually no sleep last night. Each time I fell asleep I thought I'd slept the whole night. I only managed a couple of hours.



Fun games at the pharmacist. They have had my prescription a week and a half ago and still have not made it up. I got told off by the counter lady, who insisted I was being impatient and that they needed time to make up the prescriptions. I was very polite... I said I had no way of knowing the status of my medicines and them, unless I turned up and asked.


Anyway, it turned out that the medicine dispenser bot had broken down so there was nothing they could do about dispensing medicines... then 9 noticed I had a half made up carrier bag of medicines to my name. Turned out the bot had broken down halfway through dispensing my medicines... but there's no way they can do anything about the other half today. I said fine, I'll take the those. No, you can't said the counter assistant they still have to be checked by the pharmacist, come back in an hour.


And so I said I would go to the café next door and wait. Can you text me when they are ready? No, we can't, she said we've lost your phone number. We've had some new software put in we haven't got a clue how to operate it.....

Would it help if I gave you my phone number I said... and then I said, could you text me when it is ready and I will be waiting in the café next door.


No text arrived, and so I made my way back to the pharmacy... I've been shouting and shouting your name said the pharmacist...


I am deaf, I replied pointing to my badge and lanyard, I cannot even hear you shouting my name when I am in this pharmacy, let alone in the café next door...and I did say I was waiting there since there are no chairs in here.


Pharmacist muttered at me... and gave me my half bag of medicine and said I would have to go back next week for the rest...


When I went into the car wash, there was only one man washing... so that meant an interminable wait at the car wash. I had to abandon most of my shopping because I was tired and I needed the bathroom by now....


I've got back at 1:30 pm and I have been asleep since... but now I have woken up. I am too tired to go back to sleep again....


Creative is a photograph of my roses again, but this photograph is from my pixel phone which I think photographs the roses better...


Going to have another nap if I can...


Hope you are having a good day...

Creative is the rose taken in the Pixel phone...

Hug for your day, Gennepher. Pity there's no an emoji for "Beautiful" for that rose.

Ok I thought I lost you all

Finally got back on thread,
But no choice of layout

And the red & white is so garish

Any hints how to set it back to serene black background.

Minds too frazzled to work this out itself .

I didn't know there had ever been a choice of layout. Never was any sign of it on my screen. Maybe it was under some menu that I haven't realised was there.
 
Another horrible day on The Wirral.
It is extremely damp.
And cold.
FBG is 7.6, just can't get it down.
Mrs L has a announced that going home tonight will be the best thing about the weekend.......
And Gareth( no idea who he is?) Is gonna help.
Need boxes. For her ornaments.
Bless.
Having a nap now.
I might be in trouble if no boxes.
#8 has arrived, yeah!
More fun!
Still no garden done.

Has the wind died down @Lamont D ? We were on The Wirral (New Brighton) a couple of weeks ago doing coastal walks - wonderful coastline, very blustery but a great tonic.

All day could only access the app. All red and garish Anyone know why the shortcut I have used for years isn't working and neither is typing in the full address.
Or is this an update? It's different again.
Click to expand...
My shortcut hasn't worked all day either@SlimLizzy. The new page required me to log in which I haven't done for years so I couldn't remember my password. I have had to renew my password so that I can respond to posts etc. Hopefully it will be settled down now.
