@ColinUK I hope today went as well as it could and that you had a good gym session or walk. That’s quite a swerve on the tree choice....I picture you sitting in a train carriage with a sunroof.


If only it was that easy...I’d have power leads and turbo boosters everywhere 🙂

Lovely pics @eggyg , sounds like you’re having a lovely time.

@Spozkins I hope you’ve had a steadier day today.
As requested I’ve (hopefully) added some pics of a few of the chairs I’ve worked on....fingers crossed, I’m not great with techy stuff

Thank you - a much better day today wih much less correcting and more patience.

Technical success! Those chairs are lovely - I especially like the map themed one. Do you usually sell them? I will be (hopefully) purchasing my first house soon and so want to fill it with unique and lovely things like this. One day!

And yes, I usually post things to my instagram page so if you feel inclined you can see my photos here .

Great photos @Spozkins
 
Lovely photos @SueEK ...I love the last one, I’m almost expecting the swan to start moving gently along.

Glad to hear you’ve had a better day @Spozkins . Your pictures are lovely...they remind me of some of the beautiful greetings cards in shops...and I love the smiling cat...huge paws! We have some great photographers on here today.... @SueEK and @eggyg too🙂

I often intend to be be brave and try and sell the odd chair on Etsy or something, but up until now someone I know has always seen me doing a chair and then asked if I can do if for them ...so that’s nice. It also means I don’t have to choose the fabric. The map chair is for my daughter, who is about to move into her first house. I really like doing these Parker Knoll chairs, very mid century. I love the fabric and bought quite a few metres of it when it was being discontinued a couple of years ago. My current project is the rocker version of this...have seen some lovely fabrics, just need to make a decision.

Oops, will get back on thread topic tomorrow... hope everyone’s had a good day.

Another low for me this morning 2.9 who knows?🙂

So sorry about your dear dog @Clifton looks like you did a marvelous job at the Hague, well done.🙂

Hope everything went ok @ColinUK thinking of you.

Lots of great photos today, a really fine art @Spozkins well done.🙂

Well done to all our teachers and TA`s, difficult times.

Take care stay safe folks.🙂
 
03:06 BS 7.7 🙂 Ok ish! Already eaten breakfast & after 1 hour & 33 minutes 05:24 BS 9.3 which is JUST about ok for mebut, may need keeping an eye on: tend to be higher at the 90 minutes mark & drop steeply after that; only with breakfast & it can be around 12 & still end up around 6 so, if it’s around 10 I need to be careful!o_O I think, needs more testing & see, I may need to reduce breakfast dose another wee bit as I don’t want to be in the 4’s before lunch like the other day?🙄

A Very Good Morning to you all & have a Wonderful Day! 😉

Oh yes! Got a call yesterday from the health centre pharmacist & hospital diabetes doctor has written a letter to increase my Cholesterol meds so, I take I don’t need to go back for fasting blood tests then: HATE that; SO hard to fast overnight! 🙄 That’s why Igot everything I ordered on prescription except the statins on yesterday’s chemist delivery: have to call chemist again to deliver the increased statin today; need to take 2 of the 10mg tablets left before going onto the new 20mg ones!
 
5.3 for me at 05:55. Lower than I expected having had a pizza for tea last night. Have a good Friday everybody.
 
4.7 for me today.🙂

4.1 This morning.
Garden before work at 2pm methinks as it looks like a wet weekend.
 
You couldn't make it up... just a minor grumble

I had an appointment yesterday. I was informed that it was a diabetic review. This surprised me because I had previously been informed that my next diabetic review was in September. Still, no matter, I went along and discovered that in fact it was for some6thing else entirely and the nurse couldn't engage with any discussion regarding my diabetes (probably quite rightly, but so frustrating as I had a few questions)

Ruffled my feathers a little but the next bit stunned me. I asked a simple request to find out my blood type from my records or a test. Nope they don't do those any more. But I could get one done if I went privately, at a cost. What about my medical records then, they will show my blood type. Couldn't find out. Hmm. What if I am involved in an emergency or need to give blood to help someone in an emergency... apparently they can do a test for blood group really quickly and easily th3n. Eh? But not if a patient requests to find out (trying to be responsible).

(Later on a had a thought that I might have written my blood type down in my emergency necklace thing and sure enough, when I had unravelled it there was my blood type. They did those sort of tests back then. So that suggests that my medical records will show my blood type.

Ok, so on to the pharmacist to pick up this months prescriptions done online days before. Nope, no sign of the prescriptions. I have to go back the next day. Hmm, last day of the week. Thankfully, I won't run out of meds.

So a very unproductive visit to the doctor. Quite frustrating.

Anyway, today is another day. We had a good day yesterday at the freezing cold sea side after all the messing about at the doctors. Small mercies.

This mornings BG is 5.6

Off to get my second Covid jab this afternoon. Ahh, to get out (I think its stopped raining). We will take a walk there.
 
Morning all, 5.2 here! Stared at the reader in disbelief for a few moments, because my BG has been a bit up and down the last couple of days since second jab, and I took a punt on further reducing basal last night after a stint of heavy hypo-inducing gardening. (I pruned our large laurel, and I find there is nothing more likely to send me hypo than wielding the long handled loppers above head height for an hour, maybe I should patent it as a method of reducing BG)
