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

Good aftenoon everyone of a wonderfully sunny and blustery get yer washing out Mrs Worthington sort of day here in the dark and dangerous north.

No idea of readings today after a jack-in-the-bed night of increased pace count to the detriment of any decent REM sleep. Everybody hurts but it’s not the end of the world as we know it (and I feel fine!).

Out this afternoon with the poppy making gang - making some sort of display for next weekend. Mrs Miggins received a fancy poppy shirt in the post today enclosed in this months letter from America. We do still have some unbrainwashed friends there who have not been ICE’d - Alistair Cooke’s broadcasts would be interesting in these strange days.

Our today is turning out to be a lazy one so a blustery walk into town will hopefully gee us up. Another kofee might be in order.

Sorry to hear of your poor sleep but I very much enjoyed the REM references. Were your nocturnal movements automatic for the people? I also liked the Alistair Cooke references. When you find the time I have just finished listening/watching this which you may enjoy - or not, obviously. They don't make 'em like this anymore. @gennepher sorry I can't find any captions and even then the voices are a major part of the experience. Good man for joining the poppy making gang.
 
Fbg 6.7

Kaleidoscope is of a pile of books stacked and some coloured boxes.

My day did not go as planned. I went to collect my Amazon parcels and someone, some idiot within the post office had not plugged in the Amazon phone in during the night. Would you come back the lady says...

And the rest of my morning went a bit wrong as well... so when I finally returned and got my parcels and got back home, just wanted to sleep and sleep, and I've done nothing today. That's not quite true, but I haven't done what I wanted to achieve....

Tomorrow is a new day...

Good night from me...

I don’t know about automatic but not much sleep for the sidewinder. Got to love Pete and Dud - it’s all cod’s udders as they say but highly entertaining.

Church yard now covered in poppies, row on row and also the area surrounding the memorial. Poppy gang was joined by TGITB who was crowned zip tie queen of the night even without the flute.

Just can’t get the staff in some places. Still, that kaleidoscope makes some interesting images.

@ianpspurs I found some captions, but they did not make sense to me, and so I used some speech to text app on my phone and it came up with a different set of words.... so I'm afraid I did not quite see the humour of that... I have never seen any captions of Dud & Pete in my life, so possibly I don't not understand the humour of it because I've not seen it before...sorry...
 
Morning all, after feeling like **** at work yesterday, I’ve dropped my Metformin back to one in the morning and one in the evening, rather than 2 in the evening as it looking like my levels are coming down a little bit too quickly, it was 6.6 at 12.30pm and that was an hour afterwards I’d eaten a very carb and sugar heavy cookie and I’ll contact my doctors on Monday and see what they think,
This mornings FBS is 9.9,
Hopefully I get a repeat of yesterday
 
Morning all on All Souls Day 2025. So many wonderful memories of loved ones tinged with sadness at the empty seats. Also the missing posters this year. RIP John E Green. These tents are apt to decay. Fbg of 4.6. It may seem trite but its okay not to be ok sometimes: spoiler alert, those 24/7, 365 "best lives" all over "social" are hokum. Have as good a day as circumstances honestly allow. This peanut butter won't eat itself - six seven.

7.9 sitting on the side of my bed at 05.20 but 8.1 by the time I got through to the kitchen.

Pills, tea but nothing to eat until about 13.00 when I had some watermelon. Must do something about food and fluids (been busy cooking main meals and tidying up all day so far). Recently I've been very forgetful of taking drinks after the first 2 or 3 of the day and it's noticeable that I'm getting dehydrated. Slap the wrist!
