An Indoors Day

 It was another bloody cold day, so I decided to have an indoors day.

Having got the R1250R booked in for a service next month, I decided to see if I could sell a couple of items on eBay, in an attempt to cover the servicing costs.

So early this morning, I headed out to the garage and retrieved a rider's seat and rear seat cowl for the R nine T.  These had been purchased many years ago, but I had never got around to fitting them to the bike. I also ensured that they didn't end up being passed over to Bubbles when he bought my bike.*

I soon had the seat and cowl polished and then spent the next half an hour taking a multitude of photographs.  These were uploaded to my Mac mini, where I cropped and edited them to show off the items at their best.

I then spent a couple of hours drafting two carefully honed advertisements and scheduled them to go live at seven o'clock this evening.

The afternoon included a kip on the sofa, before I lit yet another fire and settled in front of it for the rest of the day.

My eBay auctions went live at seven o'clock this evening and soon started getting a few views and watchers. I was amazed that the seat cowl had actually received a couple of bids. These are well below the auction reserve, but it at least shows that my copy and photos are getting attention.

At this point I should mention that my blood sugar had been ridiculously high today, but I could see no reason why. I hadn't stuffed my face with sugary snacks. In fact I had eaten very little over the course of the day. Neither did I feel like I was going down with a bug.  These are two factors that would drive up my blood glucose levels, but neither seemed relevant and my blood levels were stupidly high.

Over the course of the day I gave myself increasingly large doses of my fast acting insulin, and ate a very small, low carbohydrate evening meal, but it was close to bed time before it started to drop. I increased my slow acting insulin dose too, and hope that things would settle overnight.

* The seat and cowl are worth a good amount of money, and Bubbs had already got the bike at a very fair price!
