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

Was 6.1 this morning over the last couple of months have been a lot higher and lower.

I know my absence may have caused some concern for some and would like to reassure every one that I am in a better state now and will be back as a regular again.

I had hoped that 2021 would be an improvement on 2020 but from day one things turned out to be not too great day one computer went into self destruct mode have now rebuilt it but then was cheered up when I was able to collect my new car from the dealer five days later hit snow and ice and the back of a lorry a little of a panful experience .

Then some good news was offered the Covid vaccination then ended up in a queue out side for an hour and a half temperature out side 1 degree centigrade next day MG kicked off big time and blood sugars went haywire.

The day I was supposed to collect the motor from the accident repair center got a phone call informing me the place had been closed down owing to a covid outbreak when I eventually was able to collect it was talking to the lady that ran the work shop admin and it seems she actually got covid with symptoms 4 weeks after having the vaccine.

Any way thanks all for having me back and will see you tomorrow Judith sends her love.

Just been sent our latest Villqge Band recording a foot tapping English Dance tune, not everyone's taste but fun. Me on Banjo, Mandolin, Cajon, Bass Recorder, Mrs MC Soprano and Treble Recorder.

Mrs Cholmondeley’s and the Ellesmere Quickstep

I'm learning new stuff each day through Soundcloud, I received an email about one of the Recorder Quartet pieces from a Rapper who wanted to know if I would send them the Bach Trio he/she thought it "cool and amazing man" didn't know that phrase was still in use, and wanted to Blowup the piece, I have no idea what he meant, must do some research.

good evening all

4.8 today

not a good nights sleep last night and some strange dreams because of the howling wind outside but at least the snow is mostly gone and it was a pleasant sunny morning for our shopping trip

It is recycling bin day here today so I'm glad the wind had 'bated by lunchtime it has been known to blow the recycling wheelie bin over

Hope your day is treating you kindly

@dunelm - turned out very well, the trees have added scale and the mountains make for a fine landscape

@gennepher - you have a real eye for shape, that's an impressive silhouette of Popeye, you can almost feel him thinking about whatever he is is watching

@BRSBRI - hoping the review goes well, but I'm sure it will lovely pictures thank you

@Mrs T 123 - fingers crossed here too

@Muddy Cyclist - lovely, such an expressive and colourful painting
I like Mrs 'Chumley' good fun and well played all

art bit - today's painting is also done from a photo I saw online - just a bit bigger than A5 in size.

First in my minimal Spring Woodland watercolours completed. This was inspired by the warm sunny Mountain Bike rides week ago on the wild trails through dense Woodland.

The blue/purple at bottom right is actually darker than my Blackberry Camera Phone shows it.

I have ideas for a couple of more on Woodland scenes.

Good morning all! Or evening everyone!

Here's Greenland from me snapping a shot above the captain's chair and a spectacular view of Mount Rainier in Washington state as we passed by. 40/45 minutes now from San Jose, and hoping for a super shot of beautiful San Francisco as our flight plan takes us right over the city. We will also descend over my office in silicon valley, so hopefully I will grab that too and see how the new software performs.

We've made very good time. Brunch was cleared away and they've given me 2 ½ bottles of champagne as I can't drink and then hop into my Avis rental. Customs and immigration clearance will take 5 minutes I'm told - working for the bunch I do helps apparently!

Packed all my tech away after constant conference and video calls with planning spreadsheets doing my nut in! I can now catch up here!

Hope everyone is abfab

Let's take a gander at the posts...
