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

[Lamont D]

I think I'm in a group of one here. Idon't like the cold and love warmer climes.
I think I have Mediterranean blood.

Oh, let it be just fun.

I wish I could be even a bit good at drawing, I just can't even before the arthritis.
I think my judgement of perception that you need to transfer to paper/canvas is so bad.
I taught my lot to colour, but not the skill to draw.
I am so envious.
But I must add, my art teacher in my grammar school, was a hippy, and wanted to add psychedelic pop art to our exam for A level. But a second teacher was an old codger, a bit like me now, and only allowed traditional art practice.

Afraid I fell behind this week and have only just caught up with the many interesting posts on this busy thread.
A belated congratulations on your 50th anniversary @JohnEGreen

Thank you for sharing another clever one line squiggle @gennepher. As always, you've captured the shape and movement of the figure
and at least one characteristic feature of that person,

Good evening everybody

Thursday's FBG 5.1 mmol/L on waking at 6.00 am.
Sllghtly higher than normal thanks to yesterday's slap-up celebration lunch.

Take care everyone and stay safe.
Night all.

All your artwork is so brilliant @gennepher.

I just don't understand how the adults in your life could behave so badly. No wonder the class was shocked by the appalling behaviour of that teacher who tore up your artwork.

Thank you very much @Krystyna23040
I appreciate your words....

@gennepher I find your creatives truly amazing you are a true artist and I am so glad you persisted despite all the negativity you encountered.

5.6 this morning. Am off to walk Poppy shortly then off to get our covid jabs and then on the way back my podiatry appointment. Probably coffee will have to be drunk in the car.

5.1 at 04.30 today. Painkillers, basal insulin and tea, then doze and now it's 6.4. Just having another cup of tea to try to get me going. Feeling better but a bit woozy/light headed - I suppose that's the result of a 72 hour almost fast so should be OK once I get around to some food. Odd that during this time of almost no food (and no bolus insulin of course) BG was stuck around 9 to 11 most of the time. Liver trying to help out, I suppose.

Good morning everyone on what looks to be yet another sun shiny day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.2 this am - but then where will it go - hello Mr Liver! There is a shrubbery in our front garden - modeled on the one by The Knights of Ni in Monty Python and The Holy Grail. Under, there is sand and through the window we can watch birds having a ‘bath’. The Girl In The Bubble only does half a day at school today so we are taking her down the coast to Whitby - there may be a boat ride if her favourite Yellow Boat is operating. She likes it only because it was repaired last year by the engineering company where her mother works. Art bit - a stand of UK trees. Strange what pops into consciousness! I hope you have fab Friday. I best have another koffy and then see if the washing on the line has dried already.

@JohnEGreen please tell me one is called Ted. @dunelm today sounds as though it will be full of wonderful memories. Thank you for sharing the photos of the walk and today's art. @Lamont D you aren't in a minority of one I much prefer and function better in at least high 20s °C. @Annb I hope things are on the mend for you. @Krystyna23040 have a relaxing day post jab. Do have a great Friday everyone.

Good man. Probably too cheeky to suggest the names Colin and Endeavour for two others. Although presumably they aren't all, or even any of them, bulls. Colin pronounced Colleen? Ted/Teddy sounds like a gels nickname from somewhere like Cheltenham ladies college.
