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

Fbg 6.7

This is my second try with this new app, SketchesPro.
Still experimenting to find all those tools/brushes/icons and coming up with everything I didn't know I needed, and not finding the one thing I did need.
I spent half hour reading up on instructions (I hate reading instructions as words as they go over my head, picture instructions are okay, but not words...), but what it guided me to do didn't work as the icons were not there. So I gave up, and had to put my digital painting through a converter app to change from png to jpeg, so I can save it somewhere.
It has got to be something simple within the app, but it eludes me currently...
Outside is beautiful, so byeeeee....
Going in my garden...

Open House here, the more the Merrier. Although our postage stamp garden could get a little crowded. :)

Thats my motto gennepher!
If all else fails read the instructions! ;)

Good Morning and 5.7 for me today. Cheese omelette salad last night so as usual expected better.

Sat in garden since 5am drank too much coffee but so peaceful and the smell from Honeysuckle was amazing.

No idea what the day will bring.

Keep safe and be bold.

good evening all :)

4.3 today

finally plucked up courage to go get my bloods done, only three months late :sorry: Weird how much I want to know, mind you when I originally phoned I was told 'we're not doing that just now'

Anyway I got my fasting bloods done this morning, now we await the results ;)
I think my HbA1c will have gone up, I've noticed it's felt more of a juggling act to keep things on an even keel since I had the covid jabs.

Went over to pick up mum's shopping list and mowed a bit of grass and managed to tweak my knee again so I'm a bit dischuffed :( Hopefully it will feel better by tomorrow :)

Hope your day is treating you kindly :)

@gennepher - looks like an interestng app. I like your whale, enjoy the garden :)

@dunelm - a handsome junk, I presume they raise and lower the sail rather like a roman blind :) the battens should keep them in shape.

art bit - lots of fields of rape growing around here at the moment :)

Thank you @geefull and yes, I suppose the roman blind analogy works. A handsome painting from you today, as usual you have made great use of light. So much detail in that landscape.

What a wonderful world, time to stop, watch, listen and appreciate the beauty. Nature will do what it will no matter how much we interfere.

Sat in my garden in total silence with a glass of red wine, peace, beauty and spiritual, what a wonderful evening. :)

23.18 pm and still warm, bliss.

Brilliant - and not just because of the lights

Smashing - Popeye looks happy and liking those Fengmianesque leaves in the background, star performance.
 
Good morning from Joe Biden's landing point - couldn't he just annex UK as he already runs 11 states bigger than us?. Maybe I'll sneak in with a neighbour and beg. Technically the base is in West Row. My fbg could well have been the 4.9 shown on Swipey @5.33 . Close grouping as expected from 3 almost identical food days. Menu already copied and pasted minus 78% syrup in coffee. Enjoy your gardens @Muddy Cyclist, @lindisfel @gennepher and I guess @dunelm. If you are enjoying your garden today and I missed you, sorry. I can't enjoy a garden with visible housing back and sides. When we lived in a similar close we were screened by very high hedges and huge shed/workshop. Would need a 20-30 ft hedge here to blot out everything I want. If we stay here long there are bungalows backing on to a/the Forest where I may have the best chance of settling - they are near the cemetery;) Enjoy your day

Good morning everyone from another dawn of sunshine here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of a fine bavette spoiled by too much red cabbage and roasted celeriac came in at 6.1 this am - or was it the gravy - are you allowed to stay gravy still?
The girl in the bubble yesterday - still excited about her new found skill - so, walk to the park (carry across the road), walk round the park - pram into town, walk up the high street - no sign of giving up until the 1400 hour clock strikes afternoon nap.
Then it’s kicking her football round the garden - laughing all the way.

Mrs Miggins and I are full of cold - drip, drip, drip - pass the Vicks. Very sore throat, cough, oh dear - still, it’s not like breaking a hip - just annoying. Noticed all the Ribwort Plantain in the park so may picks some leaves and make a tisane. Like it’s broad leafed cousin, good for all sorts of stuff - good salad leaves when young - bitter and tough when old.

Not been doing much in the art department - Mr Sniffles and also the let’s move furniture game. So, sketch of another Junk - just looking at ideas. Hope everyone has a good day. Try not to fall over - unless you are under 5 years old - time for koffy.

Sounds like a Frustrating art Morning but winner for perseverance and a cheery piece of art.
Enjoy your garden.
