It's a tunable x-ray source. I used to work for the Science and Technology Facilities Council at Harwell so can explain if you like....

A device for x-raying tuna? 🙂
 
Morning folks, is everyone having a lie in? 7.7 for me today and off to lovely work again. Have a good day xx
 
7.6 this morning which I’m putting down to the stinking cold.
Glands in the neck are swollen, sinuses blocking up and giving me a lovely puffy face and that tenderness you get when they’re full of gunk!
Time to break out the sinus massage and Sudafed spray methinks.
 
Yawn, up late again, must be the cold, dark mornings, anyway....

BG 5.1 actually into the 5's this morning. So why not the extra effort and give me a 5.2? I think I will have a sharp word with my pancreas!

Nothing planned for day 9 of my enforced 10 day self isolation. Yawn. Back to bed then....Zzzzzz

Have a great Zzzzzzz
 
Good morning. 7.6 for me. Early start this morning. Catch up later.
 
Morning all. 6.2 when I got up at 5.30am! I just didn’t want to disturb you all, you all seemed so peaceful! :D

Busy, busy day. Already marinaded my pork fillet, ( Mary Berry’s sticky soy and ginger pork served with some nice rolls and spring onions) and got the gammon in the oven, had a bacon, sausage and egg buttie for my breakfast. Can you tell we like pig in our house? At osteopath at 9am and if he does acupuncture again like last week, I’ll be really stiff so wanted as much done as possible for our granddaughter’s birthday party tonight. Cooked a goose yesterday, long story, the plan was to have Chinese style shredded goose pancakes but I can’t get hold of pancakes. Mr Eggy has attempted to make some but they’re a bit chapati/flatbread sort of texture but hey, beggars can’t be choosers! I’ve also made Christmas mince pies and pigs in blankets with sage and onion stuffing sausage rolls. More pig! We do have fish too, homemade mackeral pate, salmon and watercress pinwheels. Chilli prawns. I’ll also do some sandwiches, egg and cress, (classic) and ham. Daughter bringing birthday cake, I was going to make one but just can’t fit it in. Only got rid of the farmers’ children at 3 o’clock yesterday! It’s been a pretty hectic few days. I couldn’t do this every week! It’ll be all right on the night as they say!

See you all tomorrow. I’ll save you some cake! Have a good day.🙂
 
Morning. 8.7 today which isn’t too bad

No house special for you today but as you’ve come very close and you’re self isolating how about a bungalow special?!
 
Ha ha yup I'll go for that 'BS'. Now doesn't that stand for something else? Hmmm
 
Morning all, 6.2 here, with two large compression dips at points in the night. I’ve got my sensor higher up my arm than usual, and obviously in the squishing zone.
Don't drop the pork back into the marinade and splash dark brown bits all over your pale cream cardigan like Mary Berry did in her programme last week, @eggyg!
Has anyone seen @khskel recently? It’s taken me several weeks to notice he hasn’t posted. Hopefully he’s just busy becoming a Rock Superstar.

I know I couldn’t believe they left that in! I think it was a new cardi, there was no way they got the stains out! Anyways, I’m sensible, I wear a pinny! Good old Mary, she’s my hero.

It would be typically Mary if she wanted it left in! I wondered if she has a spare of all her outfits, it must cause mayhem with continuity and if they need to refilm bits, if she has to change jumpers mid shoot.

@Barfly I think you may be confusing me with someone else (@Lanny I believe) who commented about the alcohol, but in general alcohol does lower your BG levels because the liver prioritizes removing it from your blood as a toxin over trickling out glucose to keep your vital organs supplied with fuel, HOWEVER beer and cider and sweet wines and alcopops all contain carbohydrates, so those increase your BG levels whilst the relatively small amount of alcohol in them has a relatively minimal effect on the liver, especially from just 1 or 2 pints, so the net BG will usually be a gain from drinking beer. Spirits and dry wine on the other hand, have almost no carbs so they will not raise your BG levels and the increased alcohol content can have more of an impact on the liver output, so unfortunately your beer is not a good choice for your diabetes, so please don't be encouraged to have more in the hope it will improve things. Of course all alcohol is high in calories which may well end up on the waist line and that will also thwart your Type 2 diabetes management.
In brief, your choice of tipple being beer is sadly not one of the more BG lowering options.
