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

Roast cauliflower and a fine sounding curry - fabuloso. Dog flue - are dog masks a thing?
 
And a great painting it is, with a fine message for the inside of your head. I like this style that you have gone with of late.
 

Hi Ian,
Are you not up for a wild swim in the Great Ouse today?

Isn't it rather straight for a boat race? Most of it in the fen has been canalised.

Good morning everyone from a lazy late in the day start here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of peeled and re-purposed junk food came in at 5.8 this am despite my best efforts.

Uber eats - let’s see what’s available? - Unexpected error - I blame the grandchildren but living in Birmingham they have a smorgasbord or even a Julbord of choices. “I fancy KFC”, pipes up Mrs Miggins - do they sell food? Could have fooled me.
Anyhow - I opted for large bits of real Chicken and ended up having to peel it as it was coated in something from a Kindergarten play-doh session in Mordor.
On the bright side, we how have a couple of coaltits fluttering about in the garden and hogging the bird feeding station.
picture today - a one brush, 3 dilutions of black ink and water on unsized rice paper. Hope you all managed not to gobble up any hot cross buns and look away from creme eggs. Time, at last, for koffy

Grandson was 15 on 31st March.
He was able to start tennis again on the day and played it with his friend on the courts for the first time for ages.
He has got to six foot but his friend is well over.
His Mum made him a cake and got both of them a massive take away pizza for after tennis....they never leave any food.
He had already had a big slice of cake before he went out to play.
Young lads are unfillable.

Like his Dad he can eat all the carbs he likes and stay lean.

And so we should.

I like the way you have captured the feel of glass/jewels in this art, good bright happy Easter colours also, winner.
 
It's amazing what you can achieve with one brush, water and ink, good range of foreign mountains again from yourself.
 
Sounds like a great day. As for the boat race course that is our route into Ely. Yes, they have been drained and still need pumping engines to stop flooding - not always successfully around Welney and Denver as you will know. All year round the fields are irrigated for intensive cropping. Salad leaves are a thirsty crop but the big boys are going to Spain due to the deity of Sovereignty. Threatening to go lock, stock and radicchio. Towards the Peterborough. Kings Lynn edge it is more root crops, onions - definite smell of onion harvest for a fortnight. and sugar beet. Massive machinery and all night working to lift the beet. Proper stink approaching Bury and Kings Lynn. My impression of Lincolnshire is it is like the Peterborough edge..

5.2 this morning. Really cold dog walk - even with all my really warm winter clothes on.

We are having courgette pizza boats for lunch. Mr K has had to dash back to Aldi this morning as he forgot to buy the chorizo yesterday - which is an essential ingredient for the pizza boats.
 
@lindisfel you are originally a fenman but not what is considered a Fen Tiger I would say. I taught for 3 decades in various parts of The Fens including Cambridge , Peterborough and almost Kings Lynn. There is a massive difference in accent, wealth - Fenland is a distinct area of poverty around Wisbech, March- and Peterborough to Cambridge is not even like being in the same country in many ways. Ely seems to be the sweet spot especially with electrification of railway and being a commuter City.
