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

[HarryBeau]

Morning...on the run today after a busy few days...anti-coagulation clinic this morning took Warfarin late last night wonder if I'll get away with it fingers crossed...working & visiting new baby while keeping to the restrictions has made a pleasant change from the house seclusion...lots of posts to catch up on...Charlie has recovered well...cat insurance has kicked in (thank goodness) just a small balance to pay...woke to a 6.8...keep safe everyone.

It is a mystery how the brain progressively unravels. By sad circumstances her dementia initially restored a difficult relationship between us.
My sister had a very difficult childhood in her early teens and it affected her life.
I was 10 years younger.

Although dementia is horrible it was good that her dementia initially restored a difficult relationship. Apologies for my previous post. I hadn't realised that predictive text had altered my post so that it didn't make sense. I really must re-read my posts before I press the post reply button.

Being confined in a Faraday cage with very hit and miss 4G coverage for a week was an enjoyable experience, perhaps not to be repeated soon. The up side was I found some interesting biking roads.

Bloods for the week followed a truly random pattern and this morning were a surprising 6.3.

Well fellow posters and painters on this thread and I hope you have been well, we have so much to look forward to in the next few months, a rescheduled Christmas day, December 1st, national shortage of sprouts, the ex colonists presidential election, operating the " off switch " during the media broadcasts assuming we all care about what happens over in our old colony.
Moving on to the dreadful media coverage of this pandemic I would like to mention a couple of things.
1. Beards do not provide protection against covid.
2. Red masks are no better than any other colour mask.

Have a great day, remembering that.......I've forgotten what I going to write, age is a wonderful something or other.

Distractions and garden maintenance left only a small window to splurge on all things art. So, a bit of experimenting with mixing waterbased pigment from graphik pens with Chinese ink - interesting but that went into the bin. Then bamboo practice on rice paper. Hope everyone has a pleasant day. I must make koffy.

I truly apologise for the fact that I rarely comment on people's art, I have no idea how to do it. I do read other people's comments and have figured it's a social response which I am sadly lacking. I did show my aspie forum some art to gauge their responses compared to NTs. Totally different

On my spectacles painting: "What's the point of the arms and what book are you reading? Why draw handwriting when you were reading a book?"

On the cherry: "Why is the cherry wet, did you wash it? One cherry does not make a snack even, I feel cheated"

You get the gist.

So I found an art critic generator to help me (see this link) and it said: "I find this work menacing/playful because of the way the disjunctive perturbation of the negative space contextualize the eloquence of these pieces."

(Just havin' a laff before I head out )

Good to see you back safe and sound and still mad as a box of frogs. I may (often) disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. You make I larf

 

[alf_Josiah]

Good to see you back safe and sound but probably none the wiser. I may often disapprove of what you say, but I will defend to the death your right to say it. You make I larf

Why thank you kind sir.
Making people laugh is all I ever hope achieve.

Thanks Krystyna, no problem, I had the problem for my sister when she had mental capacity.
As a tolerant Christian, I evidently had the wrong religion! D.

Part of the my no testing regime just now is also due to a low energy period. One suggestion is moving area exposes me to new irritants which can impact at this time of year. There is also the increased indoor time with grandkids now exposed to germs of all sorts which they generously spread. A third possibility is otherwise asymptomatic COVID. Whatever, the point is diet alone only goes some way to explaining bg levels. IMHO this tells a better story than testing would

Ian,
Your doing in my mind not having a pie chart.

Ian,
Your doing in my mind not having a pie chart.

A keto pie? - the bind moggles

 

[dunelm]

A keto pie? - the bind moggles

Is that a keto lime pie?

 

[ianpspurs]

Is that a keto lime pie?

The Waitrose one of those had coconut - off my list of temptations for ever . Or is that just my imagination running away with me?

@geefull thank you for your kind comment and yes my stomach is better today.
@lindisfel advice I was once given:
If you have to choose between being right and being kind, always choose kind.
That is what you were doing with your parents. Choosing kindness over rigidly sticking to the rules.
@gennepher you never know, the sunflower lanyard may be useful.

 

[gennepher]

I have one of those with a medical alert card for my autism. Mostly used when going through airports as their questions often make no sense or if I'm stopped by police climbing through some strangers window

Moon painting is ace btw.

Thanks for the explanation @Alien Aspie
And for the painting compliment

 

[gennepher]

I gave you a hug for wifi, mask and lanyard which I must confess, I have not heard of. Smashing supermoon scene. So close that it’s dragging up the clouds.

Thank you for the painting compliment @dunelm

 

[gennepher]

@gennepher a great piece of art came from that frustrating day, I like this digital art very much, dramatic and magnificent.

Thank you very much @Muddy Cyclist

 

[Muddy Cyclist]

Started two paintings today, one too dark the other too light but there you go. About one hour painting time, watercolour A4 both unfinished and still on big sky for my sister theme...

@Alien Aspie like you take on art critic stuff, gave me a chuckle, it's a strange old subject.

Title Dusk to Dawn for these two paintings, wasn't that some strange Vampire film?

Here is Dusk.....unfinished.

Here is Dawn.. unfinished.

I will finish them on Wednesday.

 

[gennepher]

Good morning everyone, it’s another sunshine start here in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of “that was a heck of a toad in the fibreflour hole” came in at 4.8 this am

Granddaughters birthday came and went - a happy day all round and a showering of well chosen gifts and cards.

I like this bamboo @dunelm
Can I ask you a question? When I was looking on Amazon for rice paper to paint on, a lot of reviews complained the rice paper was folded up, instead of being on a roll like the photo of it, and this messed up their paintings because they couldn't get the fold creases out. I thought you said awhile ago that you ordered some. If you did, how did it arrive - folded or in a roll? Thanking you in advance...

Very useful art critic generator @Alien Aspie
I could do with a poetry one for when I am asked to review poetry books, but on second thoughts I might not have any poetry friends left if it generated a response like your art one. Back to banging my head against the wall then...
