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


I would love to know what planet your ladyship is from.
 
Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
Me and me's logged on earlier, but life, the universe and Mrs J intervened, such is life.
A 5.6 this morning and a hmmmm just what is that meter up to.

A big apology I don't have time to read in depth all of the posts, but I have noticed that at least 3 of our regular posters are having more than their fair share of trouble. To all who are having problems my best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Now I'm not saying that being locked down and under intense scrutiny by Mrs J and our children is getting to me, but I can't break wind without them wanting to stuff a thermometer where the sun doesn't shine, corks would be more appropriate.
Have a great afternoon folks.
 
Winner for your attitude to adversity which I would imagine was forged during the really dark times earlier in life. Stay put young man and endure the tough love. Your loved/loving ones need you to hang around for a good while yet and we also need you to be here. Now shove that cork and thermometer just a little further up and clench!

Think carefully. Where did you last have it? Have you checked your pockets? Down the back of the sofa?
Edit: I don't suppose you remembered to put your name on it

My painting for today.
Worked in SketcheClubApp.

It has probably taken me near on 3 hours.

I have several laughing Buddhas. Some fancy. But this one is a clay one. I have a rosary (no I am not Catholic, nor am I religious, but J bought this rosary for me when we visited St Winefrides Well, before I moved to Wales). I keep it wrapped round Laughing Buddha.

So, my offering for today...

 
At first sight I thought it was a photo of the statue. Well drawn @gennepher.
 
Actually, I think my designs were more Fair-Isle than Intarsia. I started with a second hand machine in the late 70s and then graduated to a top of the range machine. I think it was a Knitmaster. It was built in Japan and the instruction book was not a very good translation into English.

I never tried skirts but do remember my mother hand knitting a woollen swimming costume when I was a child. As you can imagine it was not a success. The droop of your skirt was nothing compared the droop of this swimming costume when exiting the swimming pool.
 

I could have worked for days and days and never achieved any symmetry at all on my own!

Your knitwear work sounds fascinating. What is a knitting machine like?
I've just Googled Kaffe Fassett. Lovely colors and designs.
