I am addicted to Marks and Spencer Peanut butter - mixed in with yoghurt and berries. Yum. Good BG!13.03.2021
Not fasting BG, only four hours after last food. Was up very late, and finished that jar of peanut butter.
7 00am BG 4.8
I actually hate salad.
That's fab. It reminds me of an old song from the Alan Parsons Project...Don't Let It Show...no idea why...but I just played it and stared at your great painting and got lost...Fbg 6.7
My digital painting for today.
No thoughts.
Just playing with different paint effects in Procreate...
This painting became 'Memories'.
But there was no such thought when I began painting.
It was simply, initially, playing with, and investigating how to alter the different painting tools in Procreate...

A packed day. Enjoy!Good morning everyone from a very we and dreary start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of Caldo-Verde and some home made bread came in at a banging 5.0 this am
Lovely bright day yesterday so out of the door by 0830 - round the park with the girl in the bubble and then down onto the prom and and then a walk back along the sea wall. Not very many people about but did not stray into the High Street.
New batch of turmeric tea make, cooled and now residing in the fridge. My latest purchase of turmeric roots are extremely good - sometimes they can be a bit small and not fully orange inside. Work continues faffing on with the bay windows - Mrs Miggins in now replacing the second of the curtain rails - my job being removal and salvage operative with the old ones and duty rawl plug remover and hole filler - there is probably a trade union or even a guild for these very delicate skills. When we were in Army quarters and it came to move - accommodation had to be handed over in pristine condition - toothpaste was the go to hole filler once picture hangings were removed - I imagine over the years that whole strips of wall would be entirely made of toothpaste (not that pink powered stuff that you got in a tin though -, nor the stripey stuff).
Art thing. I had fiddled about with the grape vines, adding some colour, but the outcome was not too good - never mind. I had a go at a misty morning instead. A4 on unsized rice paper. Hope everyone has a pleasant Saturday (other day’s available on request as long as social distancing rules are applied). Time for koffy.

Birthday suit is the right way to enjoy gardening...back to nature!Good Morning and 5.9 for me today. I did not expect such a high score as last night's meal of stuffed aubergine had no rice, pasta, cuscus or anything carbs other than a few chopped almonds.
Tree root removal day, I hope. I am still tired and aching from cutting it down two days ago and moving all the wood yesterday so how digging down to clear roots for sons chainsaw massacre is going to effect me I have no idea. The joys of age, I need a painting in the loft as @lindisfel friend has.
Wet and very windy here, although we have just had the most wonderful light and deep blues in the sky. So digging root either in sou'wester or birthday suit.
Keep safe enjoy the wonders of the world.
Love the artwork!good evening all
4.6 yesterday and 4.8 today
serves me right for doing very little yesterday except finish knitting my sweater sleevesto be fair it would have been an exercise in trying to stay upright to venture outside up here in the windy North
We went over to Mum's today and we levelled, tamped and topdressed the bit of garden the plumber had been working inand I trimmed some of the frost burned hedge down her drive, it may be a lost cause, it looks worse now than it did a week ago
Hope your day is treating you well
@dunelm - love the grape vine though the helicopter gave me a fright, I thought it was a big spider
and your picture today, looks like the young grapes just starting to swell
bigger than A3 paper, woah! it takes me all my time to psych myself up to A4
@gennepher - furry godfatherlike the sky, very calm, we had one like it here today, for all of 5 minutes between the showers and I like today's painting, the scintillating 'bokeh' effect works well and it has an optimistic and relaxed feel
@RFSMarch - nice to see youand glad that you feel there is some progress even if it's not exactly what you want. I second @jjraak 's suggestion of Subway, they will do you a big customised salad based around the range of fillings you can get on a sub.
@Muddy Cyclist - Hugs for the sore muscles, you're a brave man going after tree rootsWhen we first moved here there was a whopping old and very wild rose 'bush' just outside the back door, we chopped through as many roots as we could get to with a spade and still nearly dragged the backside out of our car trying to get the root out
Nice' shot' of the Loire and there do seem to be a lot of chateaux in that area
I like both the starts you have made today, impressive sky in the first and I already love the way you have handled the water in the second
@lindisfel - we're lucky to get a varied palette of birdlife and watchers in our area too what with Loch Eye and the Nigg Bay nature reserve
art bit -

The skill of hole filling, too much filler and you have a the Alps, too little and you have a Meteorite Crater.
Good misty start to the art today. Like the colour and streaks in the sky, also the Chinese version of Lowry fishermen creeping into the picture.
Welcome to UK Saturday and whatever day it is where thou art. No Swipey (new one dispatched) so to avoid more confusion no fbg by alternative means. Sometimes one just has to accept one's role in the team. Often this means digging in, defending well, no rash shots while waiting and hoping for lesser bowlers. I gave a hug for the aches and pains with more to come @Muddy Cyclist. @Krystyna23040 and @SlimLizzy your winners were for fbg but some tlc was also in there. @gennepher winner for the art but perhaps not the inner journey that produced the work. Hopefully the process and product proved cathartic. @geefull thank you for another great piece of art. Celebrate, dig in or weep as you see fit. See you here tomorrow for another go.
Thank you. Managing D is, as they say, a marathon not a sprint. I guess most of us may "hit the wall" at some point. Then it is just one foot in front of the other until the second wind or Jim Peters. It is worth remembering that it is not a given that this works for us all. TINA isn't a healthy mantra.Went with a WIn, for the calm acceptance we all must face from time to time, when the World just don't make any sense anymore.
Some storms last longer then others, but they all pass.
and when they are here, it's less about avoiding the rain and more about learning to dance in it.
