Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are confused in this diabetic world we populate.

This morning I had a 6.6 on that @$$/% meter, then a couple of hours, some exersize, insulin and breakfast a healthy 3.8 was my reward, give me quantum mechanics any day over the diabetic simultaneous equation.

Now a quandary Mrs J and myself are deliberating over, do we send our children back to school or wait till after the summer holidays. Our children are not to happy about going back to school, they are 32 and 36 years old.

Have a good afternoon and keep the chanting noise to a reasonable level.

I'm sorry but there's not enough info there to work with.
What phone do you have?
What laptop do you use?
How did you connect... App/Bluetooth/Cable/WiFi/Home network

Answers to the above would help a lot

The latest new thing to argue about by the muppets on todays crazy update quiz:

Loss of smell or taste have been added to the UK's list of coronavirus symptoms that people should look out for and self-isolate with.

“Why was this not added to the list sooner?” - “Can I ask a suplementary question about dripping noses and a poorly big toe?”

good afternoon all

4.2 this morning

and I've put on 1.1Kg over the last 8 weeks of lockdown, having had such a major weight problem most of my life I figure I'll live with that

Made a couple more snazzy masks this morning so we each have a few to go at if and when we get more time outside

Mum has finished knitting a lovely cabled aran weight cardi for me with some of the wool I had. Mum likes to have some knitting on the go for whilst she watches TV. now I just need to find some suitable buttons to sew on

I'm just knitting slowly away at a lace weight scarf (and I do mean slowly ) because I'm spending more time outside now the weather is better and at least we get to speak with the neighbours going past plus I joined in the challenge of doing some art every day along with @gennepher and @Muddy Cyclist which I'm enjoying

@SlimLizzy - Tricky stuff sometimes technology, it took me ages to figure out that if I want to copy files from the phone I use I need to go into the settings and tell my phone to act as a USB drive - who knew

Hope your day is treating you well

art catch up for today -
copy of a work by an admirable artist/illustrator called Jan Evans. Once again an image originally found on Pinterest. - painted with the white Nights.

Fbg this morning was 4.9

A bit of a Pandora’s box problem, not for me though, happy to oblige, will be much fun for this thrill seeker. Mrs Miggins has asked me to tidy up her hair. This happened a couple of days ago so the job is being approached with stealth like trepidation. So far, my hair and beard clipping paraphernalia has worked it’s way downstairs and is sitting on the dining room table in plain view. The imagined tidy up may or may not happen but happy for it to rest there, Schrodinger like, in the locked box of her decision making tree like The Seven Bridges of Königsberg Problem - which in this case is probably easier to solve as you can look up that particular solution on the wibly web.

I am under pressure from Judith for the same thing at the moment told her I could give her a short back and sides if she likes but that's not to her liking can't say I blame her but I know if it all goes wrong it will be me wat gets the blame.

 

[JohnEGreen]

@geefull Do you use white Nights full pan or tubes or maybe the White Nights water colour pencils thinking of getting some for Judith but not sure which to get.

Well it happened this afternoon. All very cautious but seemed to go well.

Glad all is now well. Interesting to read of your bg's bouncbackability. Is that like the famous and controversial Somogyi phenomenon but produced by your friendly liver? (I have often wondered if my body does similar). Just to add from my post alluding to Wimbledon: much as I love sport I find it offensive that people are pushing for the return of professional sport.

I had to google Somogvi phenomenon. Very interesting that with this phenomenon insulin resistance increases after the rebound and blood sugars stay higher.

I get exactly the same thing. After my roller coaster lows and hypos the next day my blood sugars are significantly higher and this lasts for at least 12 hours - sometimes longer. Obviously my friendly liver is being much too friendly.

 

[Krystyna23040]

Ouch...nasty.

Glad you seem to have corrected this morning..bodies some piece of kit, how it all syncs up...some days

Enjoy the walk..

I agree that the body is some piece of kit and I do appreciate that mine is doing its best to keep me OK = even though it is a bit broken.

Thank you @geefull

Both are wonderful paintings.
In particular, I love the treatment of the green hills in the first one.

 

[Muddy Cyclist]

@geefull two very different seascapes for today. I like the first, you have caught the curve of the bay and given good depth of field to this seascape. Not sure about the wet on wet clouds of the sunset at first I didn't like the dark edges then looking at it again I thought they worked, I think it's the sort of painting you can keep going back too and enjoy. Glad you are having fun and enjoying your art.

I have not managed to finish today's watercolour, I have been layering paint starting very light and building up, lifting off adding more, not sure it's working, each layer is supposed to bleed through, a slow process. A long way to go, the white unpainted area is going to be a stream, I hope.

Sat and drew an Allium whilst the sun was out this morning so added it for good measure....

The painting is looking good @Muddy Cyclist
I look forward to the next bit...

I like the drawing of the Allium.

Today's pastel painting is a misty scene, from my box of source material of photos, clippings, and odds and ends.
Soft pastels on pale grey paper.
Took just over an hour.

Mountain Mists and forests are so magical, well captured in this work. You have managed to make the colour shine out from the greyness of the mist as it does in nature, brilliant.

Thank you for this beautiful compliment @Muddy Cyclist

Over the years I have watched these beautiful effects in nature, that I/you feel you cannot possibly achieve in a painting. Especially after a dark rainstorm (when you are on a hill/mountain), and the sun suddenly comes out and illuminates all the fields in the valley below. Nature is magic.

Fbg 6.2

Temp 35.5

Heavy cloud cover since 3:00 a.m.
But the night sky was beautiful before then with myriads of twinkling stars.

It doesn't look like sun today. Still no rain.

Have a good day.

Somethings we see are never meant to be captured, they are just for the moment.

Good Morning and 6,3 for me today.

Lots of nice gentle rain over night and now sunshine, perfect.

Meeting SIL for a long Mountain Bike Ride this morning. We are both cycling to an agreed meeting point and then will let the trails take us where they will, we both agreed and promised Mrs MC and daughter, no technical, no red mist, no speed and social distance.

Had to help neighbour charge, start and explain how to check air preassur in car yesterday, she lost partner 3 weeks ago and is struggling. Very difficult to keep social distance, I tried, she kept forgetting a little worrying as she's been in and out of hospital with her poorly mom and gets lots of visitors trying to sort the estate after her loss. If we found it disfficuk, (edit that's a new word from it that thinks it knows better) DIFFICULT when trying it's going to be very hard in the workplace, schools and once the size of groups that can meet start to expand.

Cherish each moment of your day and use it well. Take care.

6.1 this morning after a great sleep.

Rained earlier but blue skies now. Lots of paperwork to catch up on which I admit I left sitting for far too long.

Enjoy the day
