Hear hear! Fab.Absolutely incredible journey that you have managed to ditch the insulin and now in total control /remission - well done you!
A prototype with new software...Great pics, was that on the updated phone ?
Glorious depth of colours and crisp.
Either way
Very much like. Cheers @BRSBRI .
Reminds me of Cyprés trees for some reason in la belle France. Good stuff!I have started another watercolour having been inspired by some Beech Woods I regularly Cycle through. These trees are very tall along the edge of a pine plantation, I like them best in late Spring with the canopy of new green leaves and Autumn with the red and golds. No leaves yet but their trunks are a beautiful silver, blue, green and purple, a spiritual place to Muddy Cycle ride through...
A4 watercolour, lots still to do will try and finish it Sunday....

Doris is a moron - would make a good pop song!We had a morning out as far as Powter How near Bass Lake, heard a Chiffchaff or at least the duchess did, my old ears are clapped out! She must be paying me back for not hearing the Cuckoo I found last Spring!
Stopped at Beck Wythop on A66 and cars filled the parking area so I couldn't look at the Lake to see if there were any Sand Martins or scrutinise Skiddaw and Ullock Pike.
Everyone had gone off walking in the woods and fells behind Thornthwaite forest. Dont know what it will be like when Doris takes the shackles off!
Came back home via Overwater and Ulldale Common. Not pristine clarity today but ok.
Will post a few pictures tomorrow of my favourite mountain.
Snow down to 1700 feet on Caldbeck Fells.

I can't say anything about itFabulous photos, thanks for sharing - fish dinner, splendid - will I need to buy the prototype phone when it gets launched?

You are doing brilliantly @jjraakSo finally Light at the end of a very long tunnel.
After my rallying call to myself this morning.
i had a lazy day
(Lots of activities this last week or so, up and decorating from 9 am, honest)
So i began my return to a late night walk
it was a jog previously, but I'm being sensible.
Out for about an hour, only circuits of our local blocks, but still a few steps short of 3k
happy with that.
tested when in, knowing exercise can put BG up,
it waMEs 8.4
had a late dinner.
(did i say i had had a VERY lazy day.)
steak, mushrooms & leek, very nice.
tested 2 hours after, my first in a loo-oo-oong time to be anywhere near acceptable.
only 6 point blooming 2.
.6.2..after food..ME.....
yeee haww.
if i keep that up,
I'll be looking to upstick here in Bond Plateau,
and go set up camp once again back on McGarrett plains
living the Big 5 O easy life
basking in that Low Carb Sunshine
& taking regular dips in that Low BG lake,
i hear so much about....
hope your end of the day is a pleasing as mine.
see ya all Manana
A brilliant shot @BRSBRIWoken up by thunder in the very wee small hours. Now a mottled cloudy sky with sunshine streaming on occasion with a massive and steamy 31°C.
FBG this morning was yet another higher than normal 6.9mmol. Jumped on the static bike in the bathroom and cycled 14 miles listening to Dall'Abaco and then feasted on Greek yoghurt, berries, poached eggs, smoked salmon, wilted spinach and a large oversized bucket of a cafetière of coffee.
Heading out looking for a bar/local joint for lunch to grab a takeaway and continue working on the terrace...before exploring seeking dinner or maybe just have a terrace meal with a book...
Happy Sunday all and hope mister Sandman delivered nice deep sleep for a while.
Here's a lucky shot. Very wee small hours as I was playing with the photo contraption. View attachment 48399
It is very up and down @BRSBRII find diabetes a mysterious beast. So much affects it and even going to bed with a sound BG level doesn't mean the following morning is going to be stellar as I have found out this extended trip. And I don't take insulin - a simple carb intolerant T2DM. Not sure how T1s manage. **respect**
Stress and new routines have a dreadful negative affect on my BG I've found whereas in quarantine or working from home where I could manage my body alchemy tuning, everything was steady. But I'm very new to this having had a formal diagnosis in January this year, although in retrospect all the warning signs were there and ignored/discounted
The neuropathy in my left foot - left big toe failing the tickle test seems to be slowly getting better...which is a relief too.
This diabetes melarkee is a long haul...
Lovely tall beech trees - a tease of something in the making.I have started another watercolour having been inspired by some Beech Woods I regularly Cycle through.

Fbg 6.9
This started out with one emotion, but then it drew out other sad emotions, and so it changed in the colouring...it is a specific place from long ago...
I liked my first, earlier versions of this, but then they weren't valid any more, at least not to me....

Hug for feeling blue but dragged up memories are a bit of a lottery, especially those that have been put into a corner. A very emotive piece from you today. The colours ‘shine’ from within the constraints of their defined borders. I feel the sadness in the tree as she reaches across the moon.Fbg 6.9

I don't think we will ever know exactly what happens with this woe and our bodies.
Before I started on low carb I was eating a 'normal' diet and injecting insulin to cover the carbs. I would obsessively weigh my carbs and work out exactly how much insulin to inject. I used to get so frustrated that an identical meal and insulin on a different day would often give wildly different results. There was no logic to it.
