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

A few weeks back I mentioned Mrs MC and I were recording our instrument and voice parts for a good old Cornish Carol, we miss the Sheffield Carol singing in Covid lockdown. So here is the assembled finished version we are in there playing instruments and singing Soprano and Bass, somewhere. Good fun, not the same as playing and singing in a Quire but better than nothing, and now another one to do....


This is what I get up to in Georgian gentleman attire. :)

Absolutely brilliant. The singing, the collaboration and the technological skill. Better than nothing? Far, far better. An example of some of the good to come out of COVID - would all those choirs and musicians have collaborated without? Georgian costume? I'm just shifting location slightly and imagining that in a Hardy novel. Definitely made a dreary Saturday immeasurably brighter. Gawd bless ya Squire.

Hi Muddy,
If you put on your highwayman costume you could sing some responses to this rather nice folk song.

A favourite singer/songwriter of ours, have you listened to arrangements of some of her Christmas Carols?

We do a similar version to this carol in our folk band, stolen from Laureena...

A smashing landscape/seascape, like the sun catching the top of them hills.

Comes to something when cars can get health checks and humans can't.:)

Thanks @Muddy Cyclist and you are dead right about those health checks - our GP’s seem to be doing everything by phone - ‘can you take a photo and send it to me?” - well now, that all depends.

Oh now I do like this and can see why she is a favourite of yours. Sounds like a mash up of English medieval and a bit of Ravi or Anushka Sankar. Is there a hurdy gurdy in this?

Reminds me of a phone call to my GP when (female) nurse spilled some of the chemo juice on Mr Floppy ( all the fault of my muscles according to her). Mr F didn't didn't react well and GP wondered if I could send a pic to said nurse. I wasn't keen on talking to Cambs Constabulary about Richard Pics.

Really late with fbs - which was 5.2. Taught Zoom classes and 1:1s all day. Am absolutely shattered and my desk looks chaotic as it is covered in paperwork. Shouldn't complain though as it is the end of the term - no more classes until 4th January.

Well fellow posters, painters and gamers, I miscalculated my insulin / exersize balance regime yesterday and ended up having a hypo with a reading of 2.9, shakes, sweats, slight disorientation, a mile or so from where Mrs J could collect me. That little episode curtailed my plans and Mrs J's plans for my afternoon. All part of life's rich pattern or so the saying says.

Glad you are ok now. It is horrible when that happens.

Not sure, we don't have one in our folk band although I would love to learn how to play one. Laureena does like the Celtic, Indian mix, check out other stuff she does. However if you want just pure voice and instrument check out her 'Elemental' album and if you like poetry there is a good arrangement for a William Blake poem on the album.
 
Laureena and Lullabye and a great William Blake poem very well read stick with the music to here the poem.


No art still, sorry so I offer Mrs MC Christmas Ribbon creation, well at least one, around our front door. 12 of them, expertly arranged by me :) under Mrs MCs direction.
