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

Did he explain quantum entanglement, jjraak? Now that is mystical, even metaphysical, the mind just boggles at the thought.

NO NO No..says he



so anyway thays were he left me with a headache thinking about it
he insisted it was simple if i just accepted..X=yxz to the power of 2 ..or something.

i kept seeing, no matter how small the room/world/universe/infinity..

you hit a wall.
OR come back to where you started, depending on how you view things.

but from what he said...Infinity...wow.

I can sympathize Geefull,
We have a kingsize oak bed with brutal bold square legs with sharp square corners. The times I have got out of bed in the night and clouted my little toe with the bed not moving at all. You can probably hear me saying, "flipping heck!"
I say little toe, but I take size 15's in shoes!

good evening all :)

was 4.7 this morning

started my day in 'klutz' mode today, heading for the kitchen for coffee and dunted my middle toe on the footstool (which, of course, was sitting exactly where it always sits :(), result, one black and blue toe and a stiff knee because of the 'knee jerk' reaction, (plus a fine display of multi lingual naughty words :hilarious:).

Oh well, we still went weekly shopping and also managed to get some grass cut at mum's before we get the forecast showers.

going to water the garden stuff that's in pots and tubs just in case the showers don't materialise then I'm going to soak my foot in an epsom salt bath :D

Hope your day treats you kindly :)

@dunelm - pretty plum blossom in your sketch today, the trees are so iconic but I find them difficult.

@gennepher - nice controlled sketch today, saying a lot with a few strokes :)
glad you met a 'friend' whilst you were shopping :)

@Muddy Cyclist - looks like a lovely visit, very impressive especially with effective care measures. 'Wilfred' appears to be worth his weight in gold ;)
Your trees are impressive and mrs MC looks charming and cool in her summer dress.

@alf_Josiah - devilish stuff that string ;) might I commend Dr Tim Blais to you for fun if nothing else

art bit -
a couple more small letterboxes

Sad story https://www.theguardian.com/environ...-uk-sharks-have-consumed-plastics-study-finds but @ClassicDom (allegedly) has a plan for post furlough. All those without jobs will be trained to examine shark innards in real time as well as litter picking the sea. There may be natural wastage but all will get a badge and he will obviously be safely looking after his children and checking his eyesight carefully.

Shark innards!
Sounds somewhat like Babylonian divination, they would cut up livers and note the routing of the blood vessels.

But seriously the Thames had many more plastic particles than the Rhine as measured recently.

First time since mid March I went to the pharmacy for my tablets today. Have not been to shops yet. I was the only one waiting wearing a mask.
There is very little social distancing or mask wearing in Cumbria. I hope it changes, they have had covid in four pubs in Carlisle recently and too many new cases.

Afternoon and evening and BBQ (cooked own food) was extremely pleasant and fun to be with both of our kids and grandchildren. Since last family BBQ I noticed this time social distancing amongst us as a family is now even less and my kids are always over protective of Mrs MC and I and make an effort. It's difficult as we are social animals and anyway how can you push young grandchildren away, they are excited to see us in the flesh, want to share all they have been up to with great exuberance, want us to take part in games, races, skipping, yes me too I can still run in, skip and run out of turning ropes and even do it when two ropes are in use, grandaughters impressed, as was I. :joyful: I did draw a line at trampoline activities, games of Twister and the hot tub. Lots of guitar playing and singing, story telling and fun, most enjoyable.

Managed to do an A5 sketch with coloured pencils and pens whilst sitting in son's back garden. In the farmers field behind the cottage there is a gap in the Hedge and here it is, two of my Grandaughters also did the same drawing but sadly I have not got photos of them.

PS, (edit) In our family as I suspect in others, we are probably more at risk of catching the virus from them than from any other source. Our Sons two daughters spend a week with him then a week with their mom and her new partner, sons new partners theee boys spend weekends with their dad and his new partner, son is a farrier and sees lots of people every day. Daughter and SIL teachers although now on holiday but they see SILs two brothers and their children regularly. Contact tracers nightmare and our responsibility to best risk asses, take precautions, be aware and hopefully dodge the virus, living the new normal which is not going to change.

Good Morning and 6.3 for me today.

A lovely rose pink morning here. Off to MILS bungalow again today more sorting and emptying, seems an unending task.

Accept your day how you wish but keep safe.

7.00am FBG 5.7
MrSlim will be home this weekend.
Shopping yesterday bought white bread, cake, biscuits and croissants was well as ham and cheese.
The garden has let me down and I will have to buy a lettuce and some radish. Actually i think the last bag of compost has insufficient nutriments. Neither the radish or lettuce planted in it are doing as well as expected, being really tiny still after five weeks growing.
The List looms large now, but it's obvious will not be completed and I find this doesn't really bother me - it was always more for me than him.
 
Good morning everyone from the moistness of the dark and dangerous north - what are the rules when walking into a shop wearing a soggy mask?

The wonder wheel of finishing off a chicken - and then eating it - came in at 5.2 this am

Off to the little house on the prairie this morning - youngest son will be turning up with the ninky nonks for a couple of days later on so that should be fun. Everything to be raised above 4 foot if you value it. Fireguards at the ready, child locks that don’t really work any more on the kitchen cupboards and the fridge.

@gennepher, @geefull - I find plumb blossom the most difficult of the ‘four gentlemen’ - bamboo, plum blossom, orchid, chrysanthemum - my mother, who painted bamboo for an hour each day for 40 years tells me to keep practicing.
@geefull - great hills, storm clouds and lightening. I do like your letterbox paintings. Toe - ouch, ooch. - Done the same so many times.
@Muddy Cyclist = Excellent sketch, I do like this mode of art, fine pen work combined with colour works so well.

An attempt at some landscape today - no idea where it is but we do have a distinctive cone shaped hill nearby called Roseberry Topping so maybe that is in the background.

Have a wonderful day and remember, Donald Strumpf wants everyone now to be patriotic and wear a mask. Koffy.

Good morning everyone. L Reader (self defined as ?) issued a delayed report claiming my fbg was 4.7. Frankly risible but these are strange times. OMAD day yesterday ended with 3 sections. Steak, halloumi fries, mushrooms and salad was good. I had to organise a search party to find the DGF slice/thingy that was hiding in my bowl - no wonder people lose weight with their portions. They need tracking devices. Jarlsberg to mask the erythritol aftertaste but the eryth abomination loosened things nicely and quite rapidly:angelic: Great artwork @Muddy Cyclist and @dunelm. Yesterday with the children and grandchildren sounds magical MC and the coming days sound very special D. Fantatsic fbg and disappearing DP @Krystyna23040 but sadly no record. I've been at this five years and it hasn't worked yet at any point in the day. Julie is off to Holkham beach with DIL and 2 grandchildren. I'm Holkhamed out plus there is cricket, pups, deliveries and I need much tea.
Edit: Wrong day for cricket (what happened to Thursday starts and E W Swanton?) - still don't want to go to Holkham.
