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


Will I be exercising my freedom @dunelm ?
Not today.
Why?
Because when I went out yesterday to do food shopping and stuff, the roads round here were at gridlock, And it took me ages to get home from local shopping. So it was looking like people were starting a day early. I have absolutely no desire to sit in a traffic queue coughing and choking with the exhaust fumes...

Next week.....early....

I never go out on a weekend here. Always too much traffic.

A great dramatic sketch, and great scale provided by the pagodas.

Looks like you have a busy day worked out for you. I still have to check if any wind damage from the the wild wind rave last night...
 
Lunch looked it'd been passed through the duodenal tract of a low flying pelican ... but it tasted fab...eyes shut mind!
 
Fbg 6.7

The wind was having an all night wild rave last night, even Popeye got alarmed...

My digital painting for today in Procreate...

A walk I took many many years ago from Wycoller Hall, up into the moors.
When my children were little, I took them to Wycoller, and they played all day there in the water, going up the stream, and building dams...

 
Bleat away you have every right, 26 lbs will be shaken off really quickly with your drive and fight to get back to health. I recongne you will be back in those Speedos by June, although you won't be able to go anywhere to wear them.

So there you go June is your challenge.
 
Those magical moments so well painted, I do like this scene and you have drawn some amazing plants in the foreground. Your mention of dam building brings back many memories.
 
Just heard word. The Gulfstream is departing San Francisco tomorrow with my senior tech team) and I now leave here Wednesday, 21 days (I think, bit blurry) after having left home. 9 figure contract signed, new friends made. I wish my life was more predictable with timelines...


So a packed few days ahead ...working tomorrow but with time to take photos of the violent thunderstorms predicted, Monday ¾ day off, Tuesday ½ day work, ½ day shopping, evening drinks to say au revoir till the next time, Wednesday say bye to all the great staff who've looked after me, and a big cya later to the amazing Hamish and his Toyota Tank, arrive airport 10am Wednesday, airborne by 1045am (I love the check-in length) and homeward bound, arriving back to deepest Hampshire in the late afternoon.

I think I need yet another drink
 
Not sure I always 'get' or understand all the informative advice & views you artists give,
Our aim is to baffle and mystify like any good art critic. Can't give away too many trade secrets or you will all be posting paintings.
 
Welcome to Saturday. Sun and wind here - meh but a promised 22C next week - yee haw. Swipey delivered a Justin this morning - 4.9. Great pics @BRSBRI - you and Wan must be cockahoop after the rugby. @jjraak great progress and determination. @Muddy Cyclist your run of higher than desired fbgs is just one of those things low carb has limited efficacy IMHO. Cashews? I like those - only nuts I will eat but the carbs scare me. Will I need a microscope to track down 20 gms? A chune to blast out full power IMHO. Enjoy your day and Nike said it right - JFDI.
 
Final photo as I don't want to bore rigid.
Taken before the big Cumulus clouds signaling a change started to arrive.

Great weekend all!
 
So thats almost used up by the 6 figure evening meal you took them to.

Joking apart, well done your company should be really chuffed with your success.

Good news on getting a comfortable return trip organised.
Thanks sir!
 
If that was a window full of nut butter jars, I'd be right there. Slathering it in by the ladel full... MrsBRS has seen me with Marks and Spencer Crunchy Peanut Butter - the psychological trauma for her remains.
I did ban all nut butters for almost a year but somehow they seem to have crept back onto the shopping list again.
 
Yay. Gawn yersell Ecosse! Thankfully, he's not wearing a kilt...

I had to reread this as I thought it said but nutters. I blame my age.
 
Good old U2, great album. Thanks for link.
