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

You are welcome!

I find when I overthink it, it doesn’t go quite right for me!

That is brilliant what you did. I cannot get the curl of the petals with my fingers yet!
I found that the ink on Std and the pressure set on very low worked quite well for this one. I get the feeling that the pressure setting needs adjusting depending upon what effect I am trying for. Must have a play with the paper choices though.
 

Only one word for this...Brilliant!!!

You have got the shading of the leaves just right, the curl of the petals...you’ve got it all.
 
Now that is very good. I like the way that you have depicted the wonderful limbs of the plum tree and the delicate placing of the blossoms. Very spring. Sorry about your hand - ouch! Hope the embrocations have helped.

I was playing with the pressure settings, but I couldn’t tell the difference. I will have another go now you’ve said this @dunelm
 
I decided to fiddle about a bit more with my chrysanthemum (there you go, got the spelling right this time).
Nice fiddling zen master.

Liked the clock in the fridge bit, ours won't fit as it's my grandfathers wooden Victorian wall clock, having said that I find it's beat quite therapeutic along with its weekly windup useing keys used by my great grandfather, grandfather and my father.
 
Excellently done and good you were so distracted from the pain of your wrist whilst being creative. I hope your pain subsides and wrist is not too damaged.
 
Thanks. We are at our little house on the prairie for the weekend so no fancy clocks - Chest freezer’s work for large clocks.

Thank you so much for that lovely compliment @dunelm

I shall continue to apply the stuff, thanks!

Thank you very much @Muddy Cyclist for the painting compliment.

I am assuming I have just over-stretched or strained my ligaments or tendons. So, more stuff on it today, And some hand exercises. Which I am doing now while dictating this!

Thank you.

Good morning all whatever sized dwelling you currently inhabit and wherever your clocks happen to be. Libre came over all Janice Nicholls and said I'll give it 5. For some reason my body now feels I need to weigh 75 kgs not the 73 I want. First world problems and all that - if I hadn't seen such riches I could live with being poor - style of thing. I hope the black fog/dog clears for all who are suffering and do suffer. Enjoy you koffy @dunelm; hope the wrist improves @gennepher and doesn't spoil your day; great new normal for Norfolk @Krystyna23040 - apparently we may have a family outing/convoy to Holkham beach on the morrow - meh.

Hope you have a lovely time at Holkham beach. Some lovely walks around the parkland of Holkham Hall also.
 
Ouch - that sounds really painful. Hope the pain eases soon.

Are dogs allowed on parkland? *I need to be back in time for tea (football actually, unless mobile signal is good. Any idea how good it is there?). Oh no, 25 miles to nearest Waitrose and nearest Starbuck's in King's Lynn 45kms.
Googled that.

Quick Morening all

6.5 this morning

Another fullish day here.
I need my sensible head on today, I think I left it in a box at the back of the top shed many years ago.
Have a great day.
 

Come sit down,
sit down next to me...

sounds like a good day ahead tomorrow

Got your handle yet..?

 
Followed neighbours advice for an easier ride to town. Turn right out of gate, not left, wheeeee down long steep hill, climb up not so thrilling, but manageable. Turn onto familiar lane and slog three quarters of the way up another hill before I realise this is not the road I want. It's going to the wrong town.
Google maps to the rescue.
