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

Thank you,

Another of your so well painted flower pictures, I like the subtle colours you have used.
 
Fbg 6.7

My digital painting for today...in Procreate.

BYE....
Sausages cooked, eggs boiled, coffee in a flask...
Adventures call....
On an adventure again, I like the startled look you have given the girl it adds mystery to the scene, a sort of 'What are you doing in my world?' A magical piece of art.
 
A good sketch of High Force, a shame you didn't add some figures dangling from ropes, I bet you were tempted.

A travell kit for such delicate paper and ink sounds a challenge.
 
Thanks for sharing all these great pictures of your trip, much enjoyed.
 
Good Morning and 6 2 again for me today. Fish and salad last night so again not an over carb induced high.

Yesterday we decided to Spring Clean the conservatory, what a job. It's part of our lounge, no doors, and so it gets all year usage. Took most of the day the roof being the hardest part. So no art yesterday.

Tesco run this morning.

Keep safe now you are free.

The girl looks as though her blissful isolation has been shattered by someone marching in and destroying her peace. Cool stuff indeed! @gennepher
 
Note to self each post: Set a watch, O Lord, before my mouth and keep the door of my lips. Who stole the mild weather I was promised? Swipey - on last legs and right arm which both = dodgy - issued a 5.6. Most likely culprit is hay fever from Suffolkness. Talking of which, surely it is Swarrfum @Krystyna23040 - learned Norfick teaching there and a decade of playing cricket with 2 team mates with very broad accents. Great art @gennepher - enjoy your freedom; @dunelm and @geefull - forum lej ma'am. @BRSBRI great photos and we will miss Hamish. If Bath will be teeming with non locals Cambridge is always full of Japanese and Chinese outside of term time, for language schools. Very curious they are too. They literally stand next to you whilst batting on Parker's Piece - suddenly appear from nowhere. The weirdest dismissal known to mankind - bowled while fending off several photographers. Not in the laws of the game anywhere else. Top weight loss tip: overnight drop that kg+ which has been driving you mad - new batteries in scales. Hey presto, 74 kgs again - about right for 6ft

Whoa.... SPECTACULAR shot...
 
Will miss that boy too. See him tomorrow running me from meeting to meeting and on Wednesday to catch my silver bird home...

2 whole days and evenings in his company will last a lifetime in memories. Even the jaunts across the city in the Toyota Tank were fun.

He's going to stay at the airport he says until my bird climbs away as it's good luck for a safe journey home. It left me with a lump in my throat that did...

I don't go through the main terminal anyway this time - and we will have a tea or coffee together in the wee lounge before I head off...

Hope all well with you...
 
And finally ... Alanis you are so right. I seem to have solved the zero dark thirty hrs issue and new batteries may have solved the mysterious weight gain but the USP of low carb eating here is bg control. Way too flaky at that judging by my readings and so many other mystified posters. Freedom had tipped some over the edge. In this close there is an open invite - via whatsapp group- for drinks on the lawn - 6 at a time. Oh. have a recipe for a sensible thing to do with a cauliflower

Great recipe - I do enjoy a spiced and roasted cauliflower

From the same place and definitely sans chillies for me even more "up my street." Tomato, parmesan (unfortunately no sourdough) and green veg . Would need the toms cut back both for Julie's tastes and carbs but could be something almost warm for me next winter. It's the hope that kills I really miss food heavy on the onion, garlic, tomato and basil. I am fine with meat under that type of sauce cooked long, low and slow. It isn't the carbs from the usual suspects that I miss - apart from good bread.

Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen, another busy day on the treadmill of life here in Tilehurst Towers.

A 6.1 on that meter of mystery early this morning.

Things are getting a little hectic here and a dark cloud in the shape of a beard trim, never mind things could be worse in the pudding basin shape of a hair cut :-( .

Make the most of the rest of today and remember the stay's.
 
@jjraak there you go, my finger is worn away. A collage over a few days.

For a small island off the coast of mainland China its diversity and history are incredible.

8pm back in my hotel pen. Shopping done, dinner on its way, packing done as time's short tomorrow as it's meetings till 6pm and a farewell drink. Wednesday after breakfast, last drive in the Toyota Tank to the airport with our Hamish aka Wan the man.

BG after a stinky tofu lunch (a delicacy allegedly) was 5.7...Did the best I could haggling at the stalls so MrsBRS should be pleased with the silk stuff I got her. Not expensive, which is a major +++ !!

Ah ha door knocked, it's dinna time...duckfest once more with as much bok choy you can shake a stick at...or two in this instance!!

 
It's an in-look Alf...on trend
