Yes - I like that. I have never been compared to the SAS - but of course all of us on this forum are part of an elite squad in the fight against diabetes.

looking, learning, making great efforts to moderate their sugars, foods & BG levels.
it more like the SAS.
Your watercolours are coming on in leaps and bounds , good light lots of depths nice composition, really like it. Where is the drawing of?good afternoon all
4.4 this morning
Over to mum's today to restack the remaining sawdust 'logs' to make room for the next delivery and mr gee took mum (at her 'request') into the nearest small town to collect her pension (...but it's 3 weeeeeeks! ). He reports a lot more people about on the street and the only people wearing masks were mr gee and mum Scotland is still supposed to be in lockdown mode.
However mum was cheered to get her pension, newspaper and a big tub of ice-creamI stayed with Katy
Then when we got home we got a phone call from the vet to say that they are beginning from next week to do some non emergency procedures so they can book Katy in for next Tuesday to get her double teeth done. Very sensibly they are still going to be doing the emailing the consent form back and forth and putting pet in a kennel outside then phoning them and visa versa for collection.
Hope your day is treating you well
@gennepher - I absolutely love your pastel today with the grasses, so effective against the sky
@Muddy Cyclist - A good start I think with nice emphasis on the oak, I see what you mean about the Canson paper it does have quite a texture for a cold pressed. I have some more paper coming too (eventually), Fabriano Artistico Not which will be the first time I've tried 100% cotton paper, the one I'm currently using is 50/50.
today's art catch up
No 1 - today's tribute is to Jan Groenhart a Dutch painter, in particular I admire his almost abstract land/waterscapes, he generates such a sense of distanceand his use of colour is strong.
It's a real learning experience looking in this way at these painters I enjoy.

no 2 is a pencil sketch based on one of mr gee's photos, it's about A5 size, my intention is to try to add watercolour washes, I'll post it again when I've had a bash with the colour

Well my sleep was rubbish, nothing whatsoever to do with anything scary but woke up around 1:15 a.m and no way was I able to get back to sleep. Have been feeling a little off for a few days, think its hay fever. I finally gave up trying and went downstairs, had a cup of hot water, watched some TV and went back to bed around 4:00 a.m. So my question is do I still consider my FBG when I got up around 08:00am as being FBG or not? These measured 5.2. A marked improvement on what I have been seeing recently.Stirring up all these scary memories will any of us sleep tonight?
Loving your artwork today I feel it draws me in to the scene but it's left to my imagination what that scene will be. It would make a wonderful as a book cover.Out early with my soft pastels this morning, for my daily painting challenge to myself.
A quickie. Took me 15 mins.
I have a commission to do for a friend of The Rocky Mountains, so that will be me kept busy in the sunshine working in the shade of my willow tree today.
We've just cleared out a cupboard this morning, opportunity to give it a good clean, stuff that came out has been put in a bag and put in a different cupboard. Now the problem here is that the stuff is going to stay where its been put for the foreseeable and then when we want it we will forget where we have put it. Oh the joys of getting older.Not much of a change in reality Krystyna...I did de-clutter on Wednesday felt great doing it but moved lots of stuff upstairs mybe I'll tackle that today
Looking good @Muddy CyclistRunning out of time as have to prepare meal for 6pm family virtual meals, what happens to time?
So started my painting but a long way from finishing, maybe Saturday. A4 watercolour on the new Canson Cotton Paper this is the hill in front of my home looking from the south west, its called Etchinghill a sandstone outcrop of considerable height with views over Trent Valley, North Staffordshire and Cannock Chase, Western slopes are covered with Oak Woods, Eastern and Sothern slopes scrub land this view is from the Wolseley Estates and I managed to get my Oak Tree in. Unfinished lots to do...

Anything under 4 is classed as a hypo xQuick question for those in the know.
Before breakfast FBG 6.1 ( Darned DP)
Two hours and ten mins later BG is 4.4
Been pottering about watering plants etc. No heavy work yet.
Am not used to such a low number.
How low is too low?

Enjoy your weekend @Muddy CyclistGood Morning and 5.9 for me.
No plans for today so into the unknown with open mind no a little trepidation.
Relax, take stock it's weekend.
Glad your sister is improving @SlimLizzy16-05-2020
7.30am FBG 5.9 that would be very late dinner and Panna Cotta. Surprised it isnt higher. After yesterday didnt try waiting to see if it went down, just had smaller than usual breakfast. Nut granola and coffee.
thanks to @karen8967 for information, and to @Goonergal for clarifying.
Good news for me. My sister says she is better.
If you are thinking that was quick- apparently she has been ill for about three weeks. The last time we spoke ( two weeks ago) she didnt mention that she was ill.
Everyone,have a good day.get/stay well,be safe.
