@gennepher another spectacular piece of art, great series, very impressed.

@Muddy Cyclist Thank you for the compliment

Your painting reflects the emptiness of the landscape you describe...sort of ghostly...

@ianpspurs I'm sorry I also missed your post re Julie, tough situation for you and Julie, thinking of you.
@jjraak sorry to hear your news and the terrible turmoil your family must all be in, take care, hugs my friend.

@gennepher another spectacular piece of art, great series, very impressed.
@geefull liked both of your days art, some fine skills you have there.

Here is my watercolour for today, I went a Bike Ride for a hour on bridleways over the heathland, never saw a soul it was as though the world around me had emptied, felt very lonely, very hostile, such a strange feeling, these old Stock Fences all bent and rusty inspired today's painting. A4 watercolour.

And so it begins.

Sister in law's brother.
Diagnosed and poorly in hospital Scotland.
Family told little they can do.
Ventilator needed for younger patient
He been ill for a bit.. now got pneumonia.

Hard bit is my lot would be there like a shot.
His daughter killed herself last year, so no one else really to be there for him.

A looking now to see what options might be if as doctors expect, he passes away.

Big hugs you are all in my prayers xx

 

[karen8967]

Without a test we will never really know but we assume so in the absence of any other information. @jjraak so sorry to hear your sad news.

Big hugs to you and julie ian x

It does the symmetry for you. I do it on my phone; I touch the screen and move my finger, and the app does the design.

She is in the master bedroom. I am downstairs and sleep in no 2 bedroom. Separate bathrooms and meals etc. Thanks for asking.
Edit: Of course we are fortunate to be able to do this and have the technology and enough know how to stay in touch with each other and our children + grandchildren.

Hope this is going to be ok. Asthma inhalers - blue and brown, when breathing gets difficult worked very well for my friend during her 12 day start to completion as well as antibiotics during last four days. All the best.

@OldButBold how are you to tonight?

@OldButBold how are you to tonight?

Hi, just woke up. Must have fallen asleep in the chair, being sick is hard work

Breathing is my main problem, having COPD means my normal breathing volume is reduced (in my case 56%) so any infection makes it worse. Sitting still is ok but moving is a slow process with very measured breaths, if I fail to pay attention I find I am gasping for no reason.

Sinuses taking it in turns as to which side is blocked, steam inhalation quickly eases them and reduces pressure. Plus my skin is soft as a babys bum now

My blood sugars don't seem to be affected with my day average around 5.5 today. Body temp is sitting at 36.8 which is up from my original 35.9 a couple of days back, it's still ok though.

Finally, weariness, by heck you feel your age all of a sudden.

OOh what flavour & how much

Oppo. Chocolate. It tends to get extremely frozen in our fridge. Chiseled away enough to half fill my bowl. Well actually it was so hard Eric took the scoop and did it for me. He over did it portion wise though. It would have been rude not to eat it all ;-)

 

[trick60]

Good morning/evening folks, a 6.4 on the dice today, Isn't it always the way when before you test you think that you ate quite sensibly yesterday so it should be a low score on the meter, and maybe a cheese on toast score.. then boom it hits you with a biggy. T2=Tedious squared.
Virtual hugs for all the poorly ones out there, these are grim times.

You up early for no reason trick, or still working ?

Take care in crowds mate . See the workmen when I run Lauren in, standing around like this is over...


Few jobs worth the chance of lower life expectancy.

Good morning folks. Can't really tell what the day is going to be like as still relatively dark outside. 5.6 on the meter.

@jjraak Terrible, sad news. Can only offer sympathy for you and your family.
@ianpspurs glad to read that Julie is not seriously ill. Not a lot more to be said really. Hope she recovers soon and you stay well.

Dark outside here too @Ryhia , but I can tell you one thing, it's cold out there. My weather app informs me it's one degree, feels like minus four.
My poor seedlings, will they survive a week of this? Today am going to be engaged in bodgery with spare windows. Making some kind of shelter for them, now they are grown beyond the pot rims can no longer pop a sheet of glass over them.
