Morning folks. I am helping myself to a 5.7 this morning.
I may go a bit quieter over the next few days as we are heading off for a little break. I get to add a new name to the list of 25 countries I have visited in my life - Portugal. Not super exotic I know, but needed to tick it off the list at some point. Anyway a few nights city break in Lisbon awaits. The urchins are looking forward to it, and Mrs Rhurbarb has been busy on trip advisor looking for yummy places for us to eat.
I might leave the meter at home and give my fingers a break as well. Toodle pip for now.

Thanks @shelley262 I'm not overly big on celebrations but my heart is set on some big summer barbeques with all our boys and grandchildren. My birthday is almost midsummer day so perfect time . Without what is now the full compliment and anywhere but here will not properly work for me and the boys see this as THE place we all belong. All 3 of them helped construct a playground spread around the garden specifically for the purpose of recreating for their children what my parents did for them.

Morning @PenguinMum yes, very glad it’s the weekend. I don’t normally work particularly long hours. It’s just been very busy and intense recently. I was saying that I don’t see the need to supplement for vitamin c or the b vitamins as I get enough through what I eat. There’s a lot of discussion about differing needs for various types of vitamins depending on the way of eating you follow - see link below for one such discussion and links to further studies.

What I’ve learned from my journey to date is all traditional advice relating to food intake needs to be taken with a pinch of salt and investigated/adapted to your own needs. Personally I’m listening to my body more - if I feel good, have energy (I have it to burn these days), am thinking clearly and generally healthy, then I see no reason to change.

just read the vitamin C article @Goonergal fascinating the body is an amazing thing how it adapts and changes when it’s fat burning rather than sugar burning. I couldn’t do carnivore but it’s fascinating how the body can function well just on meat
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those transgenders out there. Question if a foot the ball player is a transgender which changing room do they use?
A gentle and surprising 6.0 awaited me this morning.

Well folks it's been an interesting week for all of me's and my mates chaos and mayhem. Luckily the police were not involved, but Mrs J was not impressed and conficated my catapults.
Have a pleasant day folks and be kind to a traffic warden.

5.3. My levels have been all over the place lately. From 3.8 to 6 to 4.9, all within a few hours. Not sure what's going on. Bad BG! No biscuit!

Happy Saturday! Still dark here in Toronto, Canada.

5.3 seems fine from here and a 6 for the top number is none too shabby either @neithskye

Thanks. It's just for about a month I've been consistently in the 4.2-4.9 range now suddenly I'm getting these spiky up-and-downs - within a few hours. Just weird is all. Which of course makes me obsessively test. ;)

good morning all :)

4.2 today

Ooh I'm feeling the cold this morning, it's not below freezing here, but only just. I'll put on my wooly tights and big girl pants later and go out to do a bit of shopping later today probably ;)

Hope your day is a good one :)

Seen this and thought of you bubbsie FB_IMG_1540223331206.jpg
 
Good morning all. Was out last night and might have had just a tad too much red wine. I am sure it helped with the sweet potato fries, I had ordered. Woke up at 4:30 and blood sugars were 4.6. Went back to bed after having a Wiener sausage because I was hungry and got up again at 10:00, blood sugars were 4.8.

@ianpspurs -- Happy wedding anniversary to you and your lovely wife. Have a fun day.
@Rhubarb and @Emma_369 -- Enjoy your time off work.
@Freema -- Fabulous bg readings this morning. So happy for you.
@Chronicle_Cat -- So sorry about what happened with your mother. Thinking of both of you.

Today for Prick and Tell I have a 4.6 to show. Early start which follows a well established pattern of very low carb = early start next day.
The prominent feature of today is that it marks our 34th Wedding Anniversary. When I go to my gym soon I will be in the same spot where I started that day. Frosty start that day but gorgeous sunshine by 2.00 pm video (dvd now) shows it clearly.
Hang tough folks.

Happy Anniversary to you both. Hope you have lots of fun.
