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

Did go to MILs bungalow with a feeling of guilt for being out, it's a good job we went as there was a big issue to sort out.

To get there we had to drive through Cannock, Willenhall and into the suburbs of Wolverhampton. I was very impressed, empty roads, empty streets, no sign of anyone on Cannock Chase or Willenhall Park, from what we saw the vast majority of people are respecting Government guide lines, brilliant.

The cow looks like a Holstein-Friesian -- if she is, I wonder if she has clearance to be on a Jersey shore?

Yes you’re right probs traditional Jersey cows are brown and white but it was the shoreline that called to me. Mr PM worked in Jersey for 10 years and although we didnt live there as a family we spent a lot of time there.
 
My painting for today in the SketchClubApp

I received a picture postcard with these dolphins on. So I copied the dolphins to the SketchClubApp, and then worked on it with various tools. Then I put it through the Lens app which gave me the rainbow. Then back into Snapseed where I put my name and the thin black frame.

I hope you like it.

 
Yep I do!
 
They do say you turn into your mother (or father) as you get older, I obviously must be doing that, as it was one of her sayings.- kizzen - meaning to shrivel.

@Muddy Cyclist thanks for the undulating fields especially like your skies.
@gennepher love your rainbow and dolphins and positive messages.
Your window shelving for plants is really resourceful. Lots of inspiration and good ideas on here.

Oh, how beautiful. It makes me nostalgic for Alabama.
May I please bring Sam Elliott and/or Clint Eastwood to ride fence with me? We will keep two horses' lengths between horses, and 20 meters' distance from side to side ...

 
Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day.

I've polished the car, cleaned the loo and every door handle.
Got my Sainsburys click and collect, all good, a bit dis-organised with their car park, but at least they made the effort..

Spirits very low. We are banned from the marina pontoons, my carpentry stopped. Getting a webcam so I can communicate with other family members. Not sure if I will have anything to say. Felt a bit better after watching HM The Queen.

It's a lovely shoreline in the picture. I've never been to Jersey. It must have been really nice spending time there.

I'm sorry about the cow.
 

I'm sorry you are banned from the pontoons. I would think your carpentry would be considered essential work but of course I don't know. ...
I felt better also after listening to the Queen, and a woman I was talking with earlier today said she did too.
 
if I can control as per bellow range through only diet, Do I still need take any medicine?

  • Before meals: 4 to 7 mmol/l
  • 2 hours after meals: under 8.5 mmol/
 
I’m just amazed at the symbiotic relationship between rider and horse, it’s wonderful to watch and Im sure you and your horse enjoyed it immensely at whatever level you reached.
I had a memorable holiday in Vienna a few years ago where we visited the Spanish Riding School and saw those beautiful horses performing to Mozart. A really stunning experience.

Congratulations. Hope it all goes through without a hitch - might it take a while in the current situation?

Yes indeed! Current advice is wait a year. We’ve been trying to sell for ages, about 2 years and originally agreed to let a developer have it but the neighbours got a petition up and put a stop to it ( can’t say I blame them really, I probably would have signed it if I lived nearby) but that took ages so we ended up having to go back on the market again a couple of months ago - got a buyer but now it seems it might drag on again. Sigh.
 
5.4 - coming down nicely

More painting, cleaning and generally pottering around. Swapped picture out the back for bigger one. Venice looking very beautiful. Shopped at Sainsburys for a friend's mum and BIL. No queue from the car park entrance but massive queue if coming in on foot! I felt very lucky. All shelves well stocked. Sat in the sun for an hour. Gorgeous weather. A lot to be thankful for.

Looks like Boris is doing OK. I'm so happy.
