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


I don't think it has gone too dark. I like the contrast between the dark foreground and the lighter background. I like what I am seeing here.
 
Sea, desert, beach and even chocolate so many images from one creative piece of art. Thank you @gennepher. The key is soothing, helps calm the worries and tribulations of the times we face.

I finished mine in my studio, sounds grand it's really my old office, whilst Mrs MC is playing many Hyden Piano pieces, so relaxing.
 
That does indeed look tasty and colourful. You are having great success with growing veg. My out of date lettuce seeds are just startingbto germinate with specks of green appearing but nothing from the spring oniond. I have had an email that my new seeds and tomatomplants will be delayed further but not saying when.
 
Thanks for the paintings which very much remind me of the soft greens and skies of an Irish summer.
 

Sounds relaxing where you are painting...
Thank you for the compliments @Muddy Cyclist
Your painting takes me for a walk in the countryside...
 
Thank you MC that is beautiful and it was interesting to see the progression too.
 

I replaced the water with fresh water with my spring onions every other day. I also sprayed them with water every time I went in the kitchen to make a cuppa tea/coffee. They are on the ledge in front of the kitchen sink, so it doesn't matter if I make a watery mess. When they were on the front room window ledge I wasn't watering, nor was I spraying them enough. I was trying not to get the water spray on the window, or on my couch.

That is a nuisance the seeds and tomato plants being delayed...I hope they come soon @PenguinMum
You can grow tomatoes from your shop bought tomatoes if you want to try that in the meantime. This is the first time I have tried this. I cut slices of tomatoes up (or you could cut chunks) and place them in soil (I cut out the side of an old milk bottle). And put some soil on top. I sprayed them with water daily (but I forgot initially with Popeye not being well), and only started that daily spraying of the tomatoes a few days ago, and the seedlings have just started coming up....

If I had a drone, I could send you some in a month's time!

Edit...forgot to put photo in...sorry...it is sideways...

 
Oh thank you..another recycling idea also nothing is getting wasted. Would it be enough to half a tomato and just scoop out the seeds and sow them, should they be dried out first?

Yes, no reason why not @PenguinMum
No you don't need to dry the seeds first. Like I said I just sliced the tomatoes, as thin as as I was able, placed them immediately on the soil, put more soil on top, a very thin layer, just to cover them.

Your way, you can be eating the tomato, and planting the seeds at the same time!

As I am on my own, I have more than enough tomatoes in the container, so I was doing it the lazy way
 
Great I will get on to that tomorrow...when I eat toms I dont much like the seeds anyway.
 
Can we please stop all the sniping regarding the current American president, we surely have enough problems with our own rabble and quite frankly it’s starting to look like bullying and obviously upsetting some threadmembers, so please behave.

I moan about our one @trick60 , because I am appalled.. And I am aware you have a deep interest in keeping everyone safe.

While we are in the midst of crisis.
Many politicians are down playing this.
No worse then flu..be fine in a few weeks and now seemingly promoting civil unrest.

I agree with @OldButBold assessment.

I do worry for those who live here, but I worry fur others around the world, America is a country we have always looked to as our cousin as the spies say.

It's only natural we worry for them too.

I meant to add that I am not big on politics either, and I do love a quiet life with no confrontation, but I do think that this is too big an issue to stay quiet. Too much is at stake.
 
@OldButBold thank goodness we are able to change our rating of a post. I rated your post Funny, which is totally inappropriate, when I meant to rate it Winner. Hopefully I changed it before you noticed.
