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

Not sure it is appropriate to post this. I might get moderated.

Have just realised that Zoom can be a potential minefield.

was setting up for my 5pm Zoom meeting on pilates. Luckily no one has joined yet. Was testing webcam and sound etc. The door to the upstairs office was open.

As I looked at the screen the upstairs landing was visible through the open door and I saw the back view of Mr K walking across the landing (minus his clothes) on the way to the shower - totally unaware that the webcam was plugged in.

Note to self. Make sure the door of the office is firmly closed when I do start the meeting.

You're ok @Krystyna23040 no one here but us and the tumbleweed rolling along main street. The rest are busy with art. Tell the mods Mr K is your still life/muse. Tight buns for an older guy, btw

You tested, posted here and didn't bury your head in the sand. Hug is for poor sleep but every inch a winner for sticking with it. Any schmuck can test and post when everything is going well. Takes proper ticker to do the hard yards . Good on ya.

Or Mr K remains dressed.

Quite usual, my eldest nearly had it happen with her, small but beautifully marked husband, with her students, but they will have to get used to unclad people.

Thank you for your kind comments. Ouch! - Ouch! - Ouch! - Ouch! - one for each gouge - hope they are not too deep.

Thanks, not that deep, just deep enough to inspire me to do some sketches of the Tarn Gauge.

Muddy Cyclist · Aug 27, 2020

Today's splash, yes it rained cats and dogs, so I escaped to get paint and took my sketch pad and pan paints and did a Plein Air watercoloursketch from the comfort of my VW camper van whilst crossing Cannock Chase. This is farmers fields near Slitting Mill. A4 about 20 minutes whilst listening to Beethovens 7th Symphony and drinking a cup of coffee I had brewed, bliss.
I shall make a proper painting from the sketch...

Basically you need piece of cheese and small loaf of bread. Break a piece of cheese and work it into the bread with your thumb. Tear some off when you have enough bread to cover the cheese. Thumbits were docky. Best demo of that I ever saw were some plasterers when I worked on converting flats in the mill that had been Sincclair's starting point in between O and A levels.

Hi Ian, Was the gypsum an optional extra?

Washing hands was for wimps. Elf-n-safety gorn mad not invented back then. As long as you went home alive all was good.

good evening all

was 4.4 this morning - which seems a long time ago

out early to the big shed for volunteering then picked up some take away for dinner, very nice chicken shashlik with side salad and coleslaw, without the Turkish bread

Hope your day is treating you mostly gently

@gennepher - interesting painting today, I like it, it's a curious sort of blend of old and young feeling with it's slight, mysterious smile, rather Gaia-esque

@dunelm - nice, calming. Like a cross betwen dandelion clocks and slow blooming fireworks

@Alien Aspie - is flying like driving, less nausea inducing when you're the one in control? (I used to be travel sick all the time when I was younger ).

@Muddy Cyclist - ouchy! - hope the scrapes heal quickly.
Like the plein air sketch very much, that's a lovely sky

art bit -
thought I would have another try at the Graphitint pencils, so the drawing is done with those with an added watercolour wash.
It's a bit of the nearby church, not exactly plein air but from inside because of the rain

For me it definitely is, I hate being a passenger in a car and if I have to do it I sit up front

Thank you, re wounds, bloods stopped flowing.

Pencil and wash always are lovely medium. The colours and feel for the stone you have created with great expertise I really like this drawing.

Sorry @Krystyna23040

Edvard Munch 's scream made me feel exactly the same. I couldn't look at it - even though I like all his other work.

Great job, enjoy your well earned bit of peace and quiet.

I must admit that although I really enjoyed their visit and I really missed them when they went back home - the peace and quiet is lovely.

What a good idea - I will tell the mods Mr K is my still life/muse.

I was quite shocked at just how easy it would be for things to go horribly wrong on Zoom. Although I also found it quite funny.

Definitely - Mr K should remain dressed.

on the way home my foot slipped off the pedal and now I have 4 bloody gouges on my shin, flipping hurts! But more annoying I've spoilt my sun tan.

Ouch - that sounds really painful. Hope they heal really quickly.

I think I remember you considering making your VW camper a chicken coop at the beginning of lockdown. Aren't you glad you didn't now? But think of all those eggs you could have had...

Instead you are sitting in the ultimate comfort of your camper in the rain and you have produced this masterpiece. I love it
