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


Absolutely love this @dunelm

You are really making me want to go back to Chinese brush and ink...

I've only just ordered the Chinese rice paper, and I think it arrives next Wednesday...
 

You have a great day @Muddy Cyclist

You'll get that floor quote one day...it arrives when it arrives...in the meantime many brilliant Muddy Cycle Rides, fantastic plein air sketching, and retail therapy at Tesco's (if you can call it that!).
 
Sorry, Ian it was the wording of my post this am that was at fault, my post to Dunelm last night was banter.

Sorted via PMs - there are a few internet warriors elsewhere on this forum but I never imagined for a femtosecond you were in that crowd. @Muddy Cyclist you may need a crystal ball to see when the floor man will arrive. If you get one be very careful how you sit down. It will be very difficult on that saddle
 
Lovely soft pastels. Branches of trees tendriling out in a mirkwoodesque scene. Are you able to duplicate in iPastel and then compare stages?
 
Wow, trees and mountains and a self portrait of you on the swing, brave man that's a precipitous drop.
 
Always on a voyage of discovery. A tangled forest and distant light, nice Pastel shades.

Thank you

Yes you can duplicate and save duplicates in iPastel @dunelm
It took me a bit how to find out how to do it.
I had the free version, but now paid £4.99 for the full version.
There is an awful lot in it which I am still discovering.
One thing it does not have is the dropper tool.
You can make your own palettes.
It has a selection of palettes.
And I pressed something this morning which gave me a palette of blacks, a palette of greys etc And that is what I was playing with this morning.

It is worth a play with the free version to see if it rocks your boat...
 
Thank you - yes, Chinese rice paper - and get the inkstone out - I am far too lazy and use bottled ink.

I have bottled ink @dunelm
But I don't like it.
It takes about 15 minutes with the ink stone.
It is a meditation to do the ink and it is lovely and creamy. But I do need a gown covering my front, and to be as far away from a wallpaper wall or curtains as possible...
 
Morning...a full nights sleep last night what a luxury...a busy few days working & staying up late (very) to watch debates given the content it really wasn't worth it...sterile clinical & dull dull dull...sunny here for now rain expected relatively soon...woke top a 6.5...more coffee needed...keep safe everyone.

Slightly better result reflecting slightly lowered stress levels.
New plan for Cat.
Antibiotics finish tomorrow. On Monday go to nearby town where there is a vet who possibly speaks English. Book appt for Cat to be neutered later in the week. It needs doing anyway. If cat is fit for op. We will assume he is also fit to travel. Either way we will know before 23rd when he has to have his anti parasite treatment before travelling on 25th.
Stress levels are already reduced just from having a plan.
 

Plans are always good @SlimLizzy
Sounds a good plan
 
Bike ride was not very enjoyable, I have not been out often enough because of backache over past few week and so today was hard work, amazing how quick you loose it if not useing it. Tesco now.
