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

@geefull Thankyou for your compliments re my art, sorry you are also feeling the melancholy, I am through it today but aware it is lurking in the background. The scary bit I saw I actually enjoy the emotion and darkness but also realise I have to pull out of it or I could slip away into some very fark places, music to match the mood works for me I cant listen to happy or brighter music when in this mood, on the positive side I am usually more creative when the Black Fog arrives.

Your seascape is very good again, those hills once more hold so much detail, you are certainly mastering seascapes and shore lines, like it very much.
 
@gennepher thanks for your compliments, I didn't win the challenge I think my Elvis impression singing and playing Hound Fog let me down, too much red wine, I never learn don't performed when Merry.

What a lovely pastel drawing of your daughters dog. So sorry you cannot get your eat sorted until next year. Surely it must be urgent if there is a possible infection.

Thank you, I didn't win the challenge, grandaughter had made a dog campfire, her paw patrol pups sat around a model camp fire she had build complete with spit which held a marshmallow over a night light candle which actually toasted it.
Regarding my ear I think I will end up paying to go private, against my moral fibre but sometimes needs must.
 
Good Morning and 6.3 for me today.

A day that's going to be spent making a start on emptying MILs bungalow. Poor Mrs MC keeps having nightmares that once bungalow is sold an ambulance turn she up at ours with Mom saying she is now back to normal and you can take her home. Hard times.

Keep safe and I hope your day runs smooth and enjoyable.
 
Your granddaughter is very talented - obviously runs in the family. What a lovely idea to build a dog campfire.

I think that going private is a good decision - even though it goes against your moral fibre. Too risky to delay dealing with it until next year.
 
Thank you for your kind comments. Not very good being put on the ENT list of fantasy. Great dog challenge result, wonderful dog portrait and well done pooch for sitting still.
 
Thank you for the compliment about the chrysanthemum - a word that the autocorrect keeps reminding me has the letter ‘e’ before the ‘mum’ bit. Must be my northern twang to spell the ‘the’ part as ‘tha’.
Great atmosphere in your watercolour and the colour and detailing in the tower gives such focus to the gloom of the day.
Sorry to read that you are feeling a bit down in the dumps. Please don’t let it go - perhaps talk to someone and find some distractions - the inktense pens may offer that in some small way

My painting in ZenBrush2 this morning on my iPhone.

I hurt my wrist in the night getting out of bed. My hand palm bent right forwards to my wrist. I thought I had irreplaceably damaged it. It was painful. I think the tendons or ligaments are overstretched, because of the hand, almost dislocating from my wrist/arm. Witch hazel liberally applied. Then a cream analgesic a bit later. I have now put a wrist support on it so I cannot bend it too much accidentally.

So I decided the twisty bendy plum tree and blossom might be the best bet this morning. Because there is not so much control in my right hand this morning.

Little finger wasn’t obliging in painting strokes this morning. It wasn’t painful, it just couldn’t do it. So, first finger had to do the painting.

This will be a quickie I thought. No chance. The whole thing has taken me just over an hour. I was totally engrossed in it. I just went for it, completely out of my head, imagining I was in Cathy Wu’s Calligraphy class in the 1990’s, with her berating us in Chinese (well I am not sure what she was berating us in because I asked the Chinese person next to me what Cathy Wu was saying, and she told me she had no idea, I was the only non Chinese person in that class)

My hand and wrist did not hurt at all during that hour it took. I was completely engrossed. It blinking hurts now though!!!!!

Good morning everyone from an overcast start at our little house on the prairie in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of sliced meatloaf screaming ‘bat out of hell is bad for your health in Hunan” came in at 5,2 this am.

Meditations - Thirty minutes this morning, taking advantage of the silence, just laid on the floor, head on a cushion, eyes closed, ticking clock consigned to the fridge for the duration. Then:

Such a wonderful find - a brand new cafetière and a fresh can of Illy classico to start the day. I like to get a can of Illy koffy every now and again. Decent koffy and the can makes for decanting those bags of koffy from supermarkets and sometimes those posh koffy roasting emporia that are now starting to reopen.

I decided to fiddle about a bit more with my chrysanthemum (there you go, got the spelling right this time).

Have a wonderful day, you know it makes sense. Must plunge this koffy.
