Good morning all. Many thanks for your responses yesterday. They were much appreciated. Feeling better today after a long rest. Fbs down to 9.0, still scary but better than 12.3. Lots of jobs "to do" indoors now the sun has disappeared but 'not rushing to do them. I always find any task is done more effectively when you are in the right mood to do it rather than when it feels like a chore.After years of work meeting deadlines and the stresses of the last few years, it's a luxury that only comes with retirement and/or lock down. Meanwhile I have reading and knitting to keep me occupied. I wish you all well whatever you choose to fill your time. Stay safe and well.
Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
A manageable 6.7 this morning.
All this talk of to do lists, unfortunately I have been doing rather than talking, just wish I had time to talk, must get going Mrs J is watching.
Feeling really lethargic today not had lunch but tested my BGS as i feel so lousy and they are 9.3 dont want to eat as it will make them go even higher, advice please xx
Shelley I'd have a little something to eat just some low carb not eating enough can exacerbate the problem...maybe some cheese or eggs.Feeling really lethargic today not had lunch but tested my BGS as i feel so lousy and they are 9.3 dont want to eat as it will make them go even higher, advice please xx

Thank you @jjraak. At the moment, especially as it looks like this situation could go on for some time, I think it is important to do what is best for our well being and the safety of ourselves and others. Best wishes.ah, good to hear., at least trending in the right direction

* time for ME.

Sympathy and empathy@ShelleyMcD. Similar fbs as me today. Yesterday I was in a lot of pain, my fbs was 12.3 and I felt awful. I just ate a small, light, cheese/ ham carb-free salad and drank lots of water & my sugars lowered to 11 within a short time and after a good rest I began to feel better. Hope this helps and that you feel better soon.Feeling really lethargic today not had lunch but tested my BGS as i feel so lousy and they are 9.3 dont want to eat as it will make them go even higher, advice please xx
My thoughts exactly, must be the herd thinking - were all being assimilated into the Borg Collective.
A lovely painting. I could almost imagine I was standing there admiring the view - exhausted by the steep climb to the summit.Just popping in before I start cooking dinner to post mopey faily painting, will catch up on posts later.
So after yesterday's sketch here is the Watercolour A4 size 90 minutes to paint. The Roaches in Staffordshire Moorland Country. Taken from photo, sketch book and yesterday's quick watercolour sketch. Second in English Vista series.

I really liked both paintings. Very different - but both very good.good evening all
was 4.3 this morning
rain here this morning but it became a fine afternoon so we went out for a walk and then went out into the garden and transplanted a few things
It's still odd to me the way the days merge together without the usual shapes to the weeks
I'm very grateful that we can get a bit of time outside, that I have my knitting and that this thread inspired me to go back to painting
Lots of people walking dogs after the showers today
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@gennepher nice sense of scale in today's work
@Muddy Cyclist I like the clouds rolling in and contrasting with the light falling on the distant landscape in this one
Art catch up - trying out the new paints, some new colours to try mixing
no 1 - sunny seascape

no 2 - the sky ...not my best( it was supposed to be the milky way but it came out rather apocalyptic ), an interesting experiment non the less.
I quite like the foreground colours though

Love your painting. It looks like it is just about to rain
