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

Good Morning and 5.7 for me today. Loin of Cod and salad last night so expected better numbers.

Till have to catch up on posts which I intended to do last night. However after a long day of physical work and play I fell asleep after dinner whilst reading some poetry and did not wake until past midnight when I went straight to bed. I hate sleeping on an evening it's such a waste of life.

Tesco run today have not been for over 2 weeks so low on everything.

As for the rest of the day there is no road map other than catching up here at some point.

Keep safe use time well.
 
Yesterday's Spring Art looked very good, splatter worked. I do like that strong blossom colour you have mixed. As for resist that can be left I have only ever used wax but is is a bit random to control.
 
Cod loin - smashing
Nice, tidy, colourful butterfly and a trio fo Bach, well played. I think that these work a lot easier that when many instruments and voices have to stitched together.
 
Freedom! And a driver from the cast of Braveheart - cool.
 

Oh, nasty nasty FM - I expect you have a lot of distraction techniques, will you meditate?
Wonderful mystical art work - reminds me of a moon lit night at Lake Guizengeard - 50 shades of blue, trapped in the middle of a huge forest on the border of Charente-Maritime and Sud-Charente.

7.00am FBG 5,2
Errant is waking up at about 6.30am, most mornings now and insisting it's breakfast time.
This is ok by me, but MrSlim needs more sleep and is not happy. Errant in full flow is loud and persistent, it does not help the FBG if I try to ignore him, which is almost impossible as he is only about 2 metres away.
For some reason the skylight above the bed has no blind, that end of the motorhome is now almost full daylight, while the drivers cab and dining area are still dimly lit.
For some reason we have no internet this morning. That won't please MrSlim either.
I had better make him a second cup of tea.
Time for the marathon task that is a morning shower.
 
Good morning everyone from a bag of mixed messages here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of bangers and a colcannon of cauliflower mash and cauliflower greens came in at 4.9 this am

OK - who mentioned slow running? So, started slow jogging and yesterday (called niko niko) - did an online course from some nice folk in Japan and they even gave me a certificate of completion for my CPD - that will be handy for when I go for that interview!

Soy milk batch number one on the go - I want to try it as a resist on rice paper but could end up drinking some of it and see what expression my face makes - you never know until you try.
So, art, I found this bit of rice paper with gold flecks in (about 6 x 3 inches) - some blossom seen in the park. Hope that everyone has as good a day as you can make it. Koffy time.



 
A win for that FBG - I would have to tackle that skylight and fabricate a blind of some kind - either that or it’s black out paint. Hope the internet kicks in - reboot - is that the word.

Thank you. Re music I agree, less of a Muddy sound when just a few instruments.
 
Art worked well on the gold flecks paper. I like the blossom flowers, not easy to get the many shades of pink into the petals or the hint of yellow but you have done so. I also noted the flecks of brown/Orange on the green leaves, little bits of detail that add to the finished overall pleasing picture.
 
Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - the colour on the paper and my less than spot on eyesight didn’t allow for a great transition between shades but a bit of furious dabbing sort of got it there.
 
Good morning everyone from a clear, still but chilly Breckland with one extra 91 yo inhabitant. I'm not satisfied with the 5.3 for an fbg but I'm pretty sure it can't be carbs so, despite 2 types of antihistamine, I'm blaming hay fever. Hug for the FM @gennepher but winner for attitude and art. Amazing stamina @BRSBRI and yes, Hamish would crosswaffle one. We once had a taxi driver in Cyprus who knew Cambridge very well. Everyone else have a great day I need to restrict my time here as much as possible for a while.

4.8 this morning. Today is the first day since the start of winter that I haven't worn my thermal base layer on the early morning dog walk. Spring definitely must have started - although I still did wear my fake fur lined padded winter coat.
 
Hope the fibromyalgia settles down quickly. I do love your painting it is very atmospheric.

Thanks for the positive comment @dunelm, and yes, am trying to get something for the skylight during the extra, unplanned venture to the shops. Returning some rotten veg purchased yesterday.
Blackout paint, that is an idea for the rear window/headboard. We plan to block it up anyway as it is completely impractical.
