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

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.
 
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.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who inhabit this reality ( other realities are available from all good mathematicians on any street corner ).
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.
 

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

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.

@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.
 
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.
 

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...
