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

We really are spoilt by the quality and range of artwork from @gennepher @Muddy Cyclist and @geefull and all for free. Thank you all so much.

Unsure how to react to that. Sorry for the wasted time, flaxseed, power and lard - you did line the tin liberally I hope - but pleased you couldn't make it work either. I at least ate the crusts with plenty of butter.

Ah well, I look at it like chemistry - each explosion teaches you a lesson that hopefully, will not get repeated.
 
most impressive @gennepher

no artist here, sadly.

but at first glance i thought snap shot,
then on second look...painting..as said..impressive..
for what that's worth, from a non artist viewpoint.
 
Lovely work. I like the rooftops
 
Thank you for this information. It looks like a really good app. You are right about classes members liking to talk to each other. They do build up friendships over the years. I will definitely keep this in mind. It looks easy to set up also.
I am attending some training via Zoom and will maybe look at running classes on Zoom. The only problem is that Broadband speed can be a bit ropey in Norfolk.
 
I agree - it is sad that some folk have left the thread and also hope they change their minds.
 
I do like both of these - especially the second one.
 
Gave this a try, best cheese sandwich I have had since being diagnosed and not having bread, THANK YOU!
 
@gennepher liked all your art today, looking forward to seeing how the Plein Air pastel skies progress and improve, not that they need to but I'm certain they are going to become amazing.

Posting my effort later the finished painting started yesterday.

Wonderful. Really glad it did the trick for you. I sometimes cut down the almond flour and replace with shelled hemp seeds for a bit more texture. There is also a product by Marigold called Engevita - yeast flakes that add a cheesy nutty taste.
 
good afternoon all

4.6 today

a bright and sunny day again so we braved the somewhat chilly wind and did some strimming and other bits in the garden today

as a trial because of lockdown mr gee put his repeat prescription into the little collection box in the village shop a week ago specifiying it to be returned via the pharmacy in a neighbouring village (where we have found the service is better and more friendly than the one in the nearest town).

We were going to call them tomorrow to see if it had arrived back from the Health Centre so we could collect it when we went out to do our weekly shopping on Wednesday but, to our surprise, there was a knock at the door this morning, the little delivery van was parked in the road and mr gee's prescription items were in a little bag on the doorstep. When we opened the door the driver gave us a wave and drove away (obviously he was waiting to make sure we took it in), brilliant service

Hope your day is treating you kindly

@ianpspurs I'm ashamed to be late wishing Julie Many Happy Returns

@gennepher two lovely skies, I enjoy both and I look forward to more
@Muddy Cyclist a promising start to what will be an interesting piece

today's art catchup -
No 1 was an attempt to paint a lovely sunset I remember seeing over the beach sand dunes, I didn't like it at all when I painted it but it's grown on me (Kuretake paints )


and no 2 is an attempt to improve my trees, the sky's a bit of a mess I'm afraid.
 

Thank you for the skies compliment @geefull

I love both your paintings. Number 1 is my favourite.
