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

Genepher,
Be very careful with those metal balls, it may give the wrong impression to those of us who are old enough to have watched the, The Caine Mutiny.

Back in the day there used to be Cod balls. Who knew? Fingers were bad enough

This is a great quick sketch @dunelm
I like the contrast in the leaves.

Thank you @gennepher

Decided to go back to 'keep it simple stupid' and stop faffing about.

Fabulous - another 20 or so and a big dollop of cream

Does this rule of six mean the ideas of .....ra ra Rasputin the driver of the 10 machine!....are twice as perfect as the Rule of three?

By monday, according to Snow White, two of those dwarfs have to move house - Hi Ho, Hi Ho

Hi Genepher,
Please be very careful with those metal balls, it may give the wrong impression to those of us who are old enough to have watched, The Caine Mutiny.

Popeye thoroughly disapproves of the metal balls and grabs my hand with his clawed hands and refuses to let go @lindisfel

A very wise feline is Popeye.
It must be the spinach and fish?

Poor Charlie @HarryBeau

All these all nighters are not very good for his health!

Thank goodness those days are long gone for Popeye, although he did make a bid for escape when I opened the back door yesterday, and hid...(naughty words from me, worried he might not be able to find his way back home)...he came back with an innocent face...

Dogs can look guilty, but I have never known a cat to look guilty.

My cat didn't even look guilty when he got on the kitchen table and took a large piece of fish, mother had got for our meal and was consuming it when caught in the act.

Tell a dog it's naughty and it hides, tell a cat and it ignores you.
D.

Morning...more drama here Charlie Cat is now back at the vets with large hole in his neck about the size of a fifty pence piece...clearly he has been 'bothering' the 2 small ones he had yesterday...spoken to my vet not sure what the plan is yet but it may involve him wearing a special baby gro suit that covers high up on his neck...he won't like that but tough...all I can say is thank god he's insured...no FBG no time 7 circumstances not conducive.

Poor Charlie cat. I do hope he is soon on the mend.

'Cat's Pyjamas' you could do what this lady did and start a fashion....
A report in the New York Times[4] of a publicity stunt by an unknown woman in 1922, in which she paraded along 5th Avenue clad in yellow silk pajamas and accompanied by four cats similarly dressed, may indicate the phrase was already current by that date, as the cat's meow certainly was.[5]

Hugs for Charlie.

5.5 this morning. Not sure why fbs is a bit higher than it has been lately - especially as I have been doing over twice as many steps this week than I had been doing since I closed down in March.

Classes have gone well and class members followed the guidelines to the letter so that starting back felt as safe as it could be.

The flurry of emails and texts after Boris's misinformation about class sizes has died down. So hopefully a less stressful day today.

Good Morning and 5.5 for me today.

Yesterday and Wednesday were long and hard working at MILs bungalow. We moved two very large wardrobes in different rooms and a two massive oak dressers in other rooms. To our surprise MIL had never painted the walls behind any of them and so in otherwise perfectly presentable rooms there was the shape of these imprinted on the walls. Although the bungalow is sold we could not bring ourselves to leave walls like this for new owners and so big decorating job, all finished now but took so much time no art from me. Will catch up today I hope.

Some good art from you all over the last few days, good to know fellow artists are keeping us all entertained.

Tesco run, then clear log store ready for a delivery of Kiln Dried logs arriving on Monday.

Keep safe.

That was so good of you to do this for the new owners. Shows what good people you are.

That was great that you painted those walls. Hard work, but satisfying for the new owners @Muddy Cyclist

Fbg 6.1

Digital painting for today.
It began as a waterfall, but then sort of changed and morphed.

Good morning everyone from yet another survived night into another day of possibilities in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of gochujang chicken stir fry came in at 5.2 this am

We have our youngest grandchild with us each Thursday and Friday so yesterday was feeding squirrels in the park and then even more walking and pram pushing as the defiant little blob decided that afternoon naps were not on the cards just now. Hopefully she will be in a better frame of mind over that today.

Mrs Miggins has decided upon a Skoda Kodiaq to replace her Landrover - it’s the lure of the 7 seats - although one of them will be redundant for the foreseeable future.

Another quick sketch this morning as koffy calls.

Have the very best Friday that you can - stay happy - don’t watch the news and refrain from buying newspapers - it’s depressing.

Poor Charlie cat. I do hope he is soon on the mend.

Thanks Krystyna he was back there yesterday and now has a very fetching cat baby gro to wear...the wound is looking better and he's tolerated his coat...throughout it he has been very good humoured but is desperate to go out...another check up this morning fingers crossed.

 

[HarryBeau]

Hugs for Charlie.

Charlies is a smart navy blue it can fasten over his entire body but for obvious reasons it's only fastened half way...I have some photos might post one later but I won't mention it to him... not sure I like the thought of matching outfits he looks so cute in his but not sure I could 'rock' the same look...thanks.
