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

0040 in them thar parts and Californians on a conference call have just finished.


Don't need to start till 1100 tomorrow so fancy a nightcap on the terrace at a humid 23°C...

1100-1400 meetings; 1400-1500 video conference; 1500-1700 goodbye drinks and snacks; hotel. Chill. One last look around.

And then Wednesday morning leaving on a jet plane, don't know when I'll be back again...I'm sad to go (I think they wrote a song about it)...

Goodnight UK! Have a fab one and hope all was fab till now too

Is that untouched up?
Seems very outstanding from background, almost like it's been HD'd



Oh, and I see the Taiwanese, built a block with Apple maps in mind. ..

No, not touched up. A new feature I've (we) developed using software which is a soft version of quasi-augmented reality. The key here is also new Leica-esque lenses. The other one is what an apartment block would end up looking like if I built it
 

Glad the boy is on the mend...and you're right about coffee! Hope you had a fab day!
 
You really must put a Molly Wimbley impression on Youtube, Ian!

In this troubled world and prominent bad behaviour in the news this re-enforces my belief that the majority of humanity are decent, loving and caring people, wonderful.
 
Add some Ground Corrianda and Sumac, yummy.
 
Finished watercolour of Beech woods I ride through, not sure I like it, actually I don't. Muse not returned so I am planning to do some Plein Air Sketching with silhouettes in mind and then starting some proper watercolour pieces.

So here is the watercolour, Beech Trees and track I ride.

A4 size......
 
Well we like it so you're outvoted, son
 
Yes, I agree with @ianpspurs
You are outvoted!

But I know what you mean. I parked the car besides a copse of silver birches to eat my sausages and eggs today, and I was noticing each groupings of trees, and the shape of a grouping of trees as though it was one tree, and lots more. We do need to go outside and look at trees and landscapes again in different settings to give ourselves more inspiration and ideas.

Well thank you and I appreciate your appreciation.

But for me and probably other artists, it's that eternal progression drive and at the moment I ain't progressing. I need to work harder.
 
Thank you, and yes you are so right. I do get out lots on my bike as we are lucky to have Cannock Chase right on the doorstep. It's something within me maybe, perhaps a little too content, maybe too upbeat, I don't know, I will however find my muse and give her a good talking to.
 
We also do love Constable country. Also further up the coast to Orford and Dunwich Heath. Also, Lavenham is lovely.
 
I went shopping last night and have stocked up on the brazils & cashewts ...
I must restock the cashews also as Mr K ate rather a lot of them this evening. Must get brazils also as I forgot to get them these last few weeks.
 
Well I think it’s fine. Maybe a tad out of focus - some bloke is developing a new gadget that will sort that.

Gave up on sleep last night. Cat couldn't settle. I was going to put him in bathroom so I could get sleep, but I felt mean. So I didn't...
I went and wrote postcards and stuff in the other room. Came back to bed at 5am. Cat had finally fallen asleep. So sneaked back into bed. But cat woke up. I should have gone to sleep on the couch...
I hadn't put a dressing gown on when I was writing postcards, I should've done. I hadn't realised it was colder last night. So I put electric blanket on. Cat went back to sleep under electric blanket over my feet, which I am now trying to extract without waking him so I can post my postcards.
It looks as though it is going to be a beautiful sunny day today.
And I am not wasting it sleeping!

My digital painting in Procreate...

 
Another fine piece of art with a story - that girl gets about. Fabulous clouds
