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

A dark watercolour sketch from me today, probably resulting from this nagging toothache. Idea for a painting I have had in mind for a few weeks now A4 very quick. I will try a painting based on this idea during the coming week...

Edit. Inspired by a sunset in a film I watched about Octopus off Cape of Good Hope.

Yes, I can see a sunset in that
 
Good morning everyone from a dark and very quiet morning in the Midlands.
The wonder wheel of a trio of Thai dishes but no rice came in at 5.2 this am.

An uneventful trip down here yesterday afternoon, avoiding Solihull. Can we have something like a barrage balloon flying high over current hot spots so that we know which areas to avoid?

I can now hear the sounds of tiny feet on the stairs so will shortly be invaded by cast members of that well known CBBC thriller “In The Night Garden”.

Have a wonderful day if you can, must get some koffy on before the madness begins.

Good Morning and 5.5 for me today. Surprised, probably because I did not eat much yesterday with this tooth/jaw ache.

Can't concentrate on anything so a day of mopping about. :(

Keep well, keep safe.

That's a fine old tree you have created in Brom, enjoy the celebrations.

Thanks for seeing a sunset in my watercolour splash, I'm not sure if the final painting will work, we shall see.

An impressive sunset with all its colours @Muddy Cyclist
Commiserations for the continuing toothache

Like it. A brilliant tree @dunelm
 
Fbg 6.7

Popeye seems to be getting his fur winter coat. It is all thick and very soft.

Anyway, painting in Procreate today. I had watched a tutorial a couple days ago. And I was going to watch it again when I was doing it. But I thought nah, see if you can remember...and I did!

It starts out filling in your layer with black, then finding the noise setting, and repeatedly doing it until you have this pixelated effect of colours, and then finding other settings where you can stretch the height, so in the end you come up with lines of colours, and so on. And then there is another setting where you put your finger on the coloured lines and you end up with these gorgeous 'marbles' emerging....

But I overstretched on the bottom right exposing the layer underneath, and thought I would be able to work over it later, but that didn't go as planned. So I got two of my tree paintings from last few days, and inserted them in a layer underneath. It looks odd and out of place, but hey I learnt a lot with this!

Now going in my garden to sort out the rearranging that wind did in the night...

Morening all, have to be quick.
6.6 this morning.

We have the grandchildren coming this afternoon and Mrs J is or will be busy this morning and has made it clear I am not to around under her feet, instructing me to go out for a ride on my bike this morning. Hence I want to get out before Mrs J changes her mind.

Have a great day all.
 
Artwork, motorbike rides, toothache and Tombliboos - who knew they were Unn, Eee and Ooo? - an eclectic mix as usual. Still no testing here as I would eat and drink exactly the same if I did test. Have spiffing days chums. Remember, all the fingers of 1 hand and 1 from the other after the next sleep.

Great bit of experimental art - reminds me of oil paints drizzled onto water or however that is done.

Hi mojo,
Antibodies can last only two months but what is more important, T cells remember the virus and produce counter-measures next time it invades the body.
This last much longer.

Yes that's what is said but I had the antibody test 3 and a half months after I had coronavirus what would be of use if they would test all the people that had antibodies again but I don't seem to be able to get another test . I don't even mind paying for a test but that doesn't appear to be an option either .
 
4.8 this morning. Off to to the water gardens this morning. So it will be a gentle relaxing walk with lots of sitting on benches admiring the views.

A perfect end to a really hectic week. Am looking forward to catching up with all the posts and artwork today.
