Thank you and also @ianpspurs its nice to think that is the case, I will keep monitoring, been at 5.4 for rest of day and Tuna Steaks in Italian style tonight so will see how Morning reacts to this.I wonder if your very helpful liver has suddenly decided that as you are so active you need a bit more glucose in the morning than it has been releasing up to now. Sometimes the liver can just be a bit too helpful.
You are so good at art reacting to the mood, weather and themoment, brilliant.Fbg 6,7
Everything weather...
Was painting the cherry tree and the willow catkins, when suddenly it snowed...a blizzard....

Hug for the way you are feeling, winner for art and dealing with the way you feel.good afternoon all
4.1 today
very cold today, lots of gustly wind from the North and we awoke to a good covering of snow, it's mostly melted now though we may get more later, a good day for hibernating
Sorry for the irregular posting this last couple of weeks. I'll have to go back and ready the posts I've missed later on
I'll admit I'm finding getting myself motivated to do things a bit difficult at the moment, I've also put on some more weight which feels very disheartening for me because I had a weight problem for so many years
so, I'm feeling a bit sorry for myself. I don't know whether I've become more insulin resistant (hence the sudden onset of weight gain?) or whether it's just me not getting enough exercise or both (or neither), my bg has been mostly ok if a bit higher in the average.
I have put off calling to get my blood tests done and must get on with it, last time I called they weren't doing them unless urgent though.
I'm fine mostlyjust in dither and prevaricate mode.
Hope your day is treating you kindly
Still trying and mostly managing to get some art done most days

Thank you, we now have three more pieces record.@Muddy Cyclist - I enjoyed the music as ever
Hope all well @geefull...sending hugs up thereStarting to catch up on the posts I've missed
@gennepher - lovely light tree composition, it looks lovely that flurry of snow
@dunelm - I like your lakeside with it's stately trees, it works very well just as it stands for me
@Muddy Cyclist - I enjoyed the music as ever
@BRSBRI - Archie is a big handsome fellowbut it's such sad new about Wan's friend, it's an awful accident
@ianpspurs - interesting protein results thank you, I may try it for breakfast myself
Wow - that is significantly higher in protein than my homemade kefir.@Krystyna23040 @geefull and others. What I had in my shake and analysed was M and S strained kefir quark - high protein stuffage. This is similar from another retailer I have used. This would have about the same values.
Hope all goes well. thinking of you and Lauren of BathFarewell dinner in Bath occurring as I head off on my travels tomorrow.
Poached salmon, Mediterranean veg, and a salad to start; my better half helping me pack my case again... She'll wave me off tomorrow which is nice. Seems weird after only having been home a few days. Sigh.
Remember the promise I was made - no more travel till June? Well that was total @#£_&£#! Thankfully only 2 nights/3 days to Tel Aviv by month's end and that'll be it till June.
Heavy conference calls all afternoon...but they were very productive.
Latest Covid tests all negative, paperwork in hand. Another one tomorrow night.
Will take the doglet out for a march in the morning and head for the train station around noon to head to Paddington on the first leg of my trip out west.
I hope everyone is well...and warm
Very cold here today and trying like mad to snow. Dither and prevaricate away - do something different - cut your own hair and dye what’s left with a fashionable silver - or not! Smashing tree from you today. I like the tones in the trunk overlaying some intricate detail. The foliage is great and all sitting in front of a splendid background scene.good afternoon all

OK - thanks - I have been outmaneuvered and it stands as it is.Starting to catch up on the posts I've missed

Berries - they can be a bit of a disappointment from supermarkets. For shakes and such, I find that some frozen ones are equal to the task.I did have ACV in water years ago. Now I have maybe 1.5 tbls daily in salad dressing but if I go back to 2 salads daily that will increase. I do have acv in hot bovril as an attempt to get warmth in winter. Bought berries aren't quite the same but we can't go back ,we can only look behind from where we came and go round and round in the circle game. The dogs being car compliant would be a massive winner. The Hub seems to be Matty H's sweetener for being unpolishable.
When driving past joggers, wind your window down and play “Eye of the Tiger” really loud - they will thank you for the encouragement.
Agree but these weren't just berries, they were ........Berries - they can be a bit of a disappointment from supermarkets. For shakes and such, I find that some frozen ones are equal to the task.

I like this minimal landscape - just enough to show of that excellent sky. Looking forward to seeing this wood scene.Spent a lovely if not very cold sunny afternoon in our daughters garden, won all the egg and spoon races, don't ask.
Finished minimal landscape art from a few days ago and started the first layer ready for the next.
Both A4 watercolour..
