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

13.11.2020
No FBG this morning. Woken early by rain dripping from the new skylight. Panic mode ensues as rain has already soaked through to mattress. Once we have protection in place and heating on, far too late to do waking BG. It would probably have been elevated by stress anyway. Out of bed a d instantly into action, this is probably where DP is useful.
Packed and on the road, only 90 mins late. Errant was last into the car, eased his blanket out from under a sleeping cat, coaxed him out of his cupboard, popped into travelling crate and covered with pheromone impregnated cloth cover. Vile garish polyester thing, am sure in advert it was grey and plain. I do object to items that display manufacturers name in huge letters. On the plus side though. Errant has been very quiet so far.
 
Looks like Carrie is Boris's mother hen protector!
How like ancient Rome, Britain and America have become..of course the daggers and poison are metaphorical!
Perhaps Trump will make his dog a proconsul before he leaves office!

Thank you, wet here Saturday so providing I'm not roped in to helping move my daughter I shall finish Womere.

Interesting info on rice paper, this is an area I know little about, 71 and still learning. I like these landscapes a feeling of age and craftsmanship. I assume your ability and knowledge ones from your mom and her interesting artistic background, painter and musician. Now my mom was a great mom but other than being a mother I can't recall what else interested her, your childhood must have been so enlightening. Hopefully my music making and art will rub off on my kids and grandchildren.

Bring back Picture rails. I have found a draw full of picture rail hooks for hanging pictures, all went to scrap man such a shame.
 
Another winner, love it and the light, theseare good keepgiving us more.
 
No art, long day but productive. I have filled a 4cubic yard skip perfectly, not a gap to be found just hope the lorry will be able to lift it.

Now to cook dinner Salmon in some sort of source I will conjure and salad. Followed by Blackberries and Greek Yougert. Oh and some sort of cooking juice, a nice glass or two of red wine perhaps, for me not the source.

BG before meal 5.2

As usual a great piece of art produced by the master of digital. Like the artistic license wasn't it raining this morning? Ref your post regarding inspiration.

It was, I'm guessing more rain where you live as that's the direction they were coming from. The lakes are just down the road so they were probably heading there. Rain stopped by the time I went for my walk so it was a pleasant day in all. Got the phone sim too
 
good evening all

4.2 yesterday and 4.3 today

somewhat hampered by having managed to cut the tip of my index finger, (of all the cliche things to do), on a corned beef tin

Bathed it with hot salty water and taped it up and t's not too bad thankfully but, of course, the bit you've damaged is the bit you keep catching on things, it's not done much for my manual dexterity

a couple of hours volunteering yesterday and a quiet day today sorting out paperwork and a walk in the sun this afternoon, got to be good for my vitamin D

Flu jabs for the three of us tomorrow

Hope your day is treating you well

@Krystyna23040 - hugs, of course it turned up the minute you replaced it

@Alien Aspie - glad your new regime is working well for you two fine pieces of artwork you've posted, the first is stunning, so much form and texture, lovely. The second is very warming and quite homey to me, we get loads of geese flying over here for the Winter.

@dunelm - like your rock faces, you always manage to make them feel weighty and to anchor them in their landscape, they have such good texture You're braver than me including the geisha, I'm very wary of figures in my art, I really should give it a go I suppose

@SlimLizzy - hugs for the soggy start, I'm glad that Errant is currently not too stressed by the sound of it, at least he has you to anchor him

@lindisfel - Quiet in Kendal? that must be quite a change, we went back a couple of years ago for the first time in a long time and couldn't find a parking space at all I like your trees, that colour just glows with misty late Autumn sun

@Muddy Cyclist - Your picture turned out really well, it glows and has a lovely sense of space and sky the sky in the new picture is working well too

@gennepher - two interesting art works for me to catch up on, the sun through the oak tree has a fine effect and I like very much how you've managed the colour changes and the sun down your tree lined path is very effective, draws you in

art bit -
my rigger brushes have arrived today but I haven't tried them yet, perhaps tomorrow

trying to do a dramatic sky, sorry about run down the left hand side, the paint crept under the tape
 
Thank you.
Hugs for the gash, hope you manage to stop catching it o. Things.

Good dramatic sky and lovely light on hills again.

Mrs MC had flu and pneumonia jab yesterday in different arms. Today both arms ache and she can't lift the one which had pneumonia. My flu jab was not a problem and no aches, hope yours all go well.
