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

Tonight's dinner - I asked for local and no rice. Soup looks like soup. So all good for the westerner eye and digestion.

The mains - egg replaces rice and I have an extra treat of duck feet to entertain me... Daffy or Donald? Screenshot_20210316-102100.jpg

I have just been sent our rendition of Now is the Month of Maying, virtually recorded and assembled. Sounds more of us than there really is, the joys of technology. I'm playing guitar, tabor and singing Bass, Mrs MC is playing Soprano and Treble Recorder and singing Soprano. The other players are on Tenor Recorder, Bass Concertina and Soprano Concertina. I have added it to the Sound Cloud account of Lockdown Music....

What a racket! :)

Now is the Month of Maying.

Enjoy or not.

Good morning everyone - a bit late today - I blame the “can’t make it’s mind up” weather
The wonder wheel of piri piri Portuguese style chicken cooked in the Ninja came in at 4.8 this am

A smashing day yesterday down on the sea front - blue skies and not many people about. Watched a program last night about the Portuguese visual artist Paula Rego - such a tragic life in some ways but her art is wonderful (well, I think so) - her figures are not of the pretty. I once bought a very large poster from an exhibition of her work at the Tate, Liverpool entitled ‘Snow White Swallows the Poisoned Apple’ - my mother pinned it up in her art studio.

Art today - some trees on a mountain side - the rice paper got a bit crinkled but I can’t be bothered to iron it. Hope that everyone is having a great National Everything You Do is Right Day. Time for a late koffy.

The crinkled effect works so well in the photograph of your art work, adding a sculptured three dimension feel to the landscape. DONT IRON!

Sounds good to me and I managed to listen to buttered peas. Thank you for the music which is certainly not my Waterloo. Also found out what a tabor looks like. There are Tabors in my family tree but none look thusly or appear to have been very musical.
 
Glorious warm day in Cumbria, when I did a 40 min walk up and down the garden at 0900, and the sun was warm on my face.

Spring is here, will winter have a last fling?


I had to get some more bird food yesterday. Still going through 50 kg of mixed corn with sunflower hearts added to it in a few weeks but expect to keep some of this new stuff through to autumn.
Some late snowdrops came out recently but wont last.
This one this am was too bright for my mobile camera.IMG_20210316_083706758_HDR_compress35.jpg

Passed it on! We're delighted. Thank you :)
She's back in Cyprus at Akrotiri all smitten I'd imagine. And enjoying warmer weather for a day or two.

I had one of them - interesting texture crunchy and gelatinous. If I had kept the nail, inbuilt tooth pick...
 
Good old Sky have sent me this as a present from their VIP draw. Should probably be read to or with my grandchildren but granddad may commandeer it. 2 amazing gifts today.

Thank you.

I'm sure some of our folk group music would meet your Waterloo but unfortunately I don't seem to be able to get them interested in virtual performances. Maybe when rules change we might record something together, any requests along the More recent folk or country and western styles or even the blues. Bob Dylan, Paul Simon, Joan Baez, Lenard Cohen? :)

Leonard Cohen :arghh: Some clownshoe played him on loop for a decade in my first year at Uni. Good calls on the rest.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, I have finally caught up on all the posts, nice art work, I won't mention dragons incase Mrs J's senses and wants more details, family you see Bach!

It's good to see @Cumberland posting again in this thread, it's also great to see he has been nominated for election as a site moderator, in the past Cumberland helped me deal with hypo's and he has a great sense of humour.

@karen8967 I should have given you a hug for those blood sugar readings and I look forward to your little life passages.

A special mention for @BRSBRI, wow what a roller coaster you are having. Congratulations and commiserations, I hope your colleague pulls through.

Pleased don't be offended if I have not mentioned you, I can only concentrate for short periods of time, bladder issues and one fingered typing skills.

Another day gone.

A senior team member from work fighting in an ICU near San Francisco thanks to the dreaded Covid; another new car to be sourced following the wreckage of Mrs BRS' Fiat being found abandoned; one daughter getting married in 2022 and the other through most of her final exams in her 5th year at Glasgow Uni Medical School; most of the prep for a crunch meeting when I am allowed out of here done with $xxx,xxx,xxx at stake for 2021 and 2022; I spilled most of a bottle of wine with dinner down a shirt and trousers and managed to nearly slice my backside into bamboo shoot lookalikes with that toilet and all it's weird and wonderful buttons.

It has been A day. Am I allowed a large nightcap? 005.jpg
