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

[alf_Josiah]

Morening whoever, no time here or there, routine hospital liver clinic appointment at the hospital and running late here.

A perplexing 7.5 this morning, still it's below 10 so OK.

Have a great day stay safe all.

Good morning everyone on what promises to be a warm and sunny bin day here in the dark and dangerous north

The wonder wheel of spiced chicken with tabhouleh came in at 5.4 this am

What’s going on with all these new driving rules - Amber is now stop, no stop, go, no go, prepare to book, don’t book. Green is OK but the nice places are still holding up red cards and Useless Eustace is babbling like a northern Svengali turned quisling. The bottom line is that yes, we have no bananas. The govt are now using travel guidance from that Mr Smoketoomuch Monty Python sketch called ‘Travel Agent’ but not mentioning the Watneys Red Barrel because it’s a bit woke.

Anyhow, as you can guess, the planet made another spin and Eos opened the gates and Helios rides his chariot and that’s the only certainty we need. Oh! And a second jab booked in for Saturday.

Another little 6x4 on some form of grass paper - no, not Rizla+, which is rice (Riz La Croix). Have a merry old Wednesday - soon be the weekend. Koffy time.

Rizla papers...I had forgotten about those. I used them for secret messages when I was a child...could one paint on them???
Amazing mountains @dunelm
Great perspective...
Have a good day...

Funny for the ZenBrush3 app making an argument about style and also substance. I didn’t know (or had forgot if you previously mentioned) that version 3 gave more than just black and red. Lovely mountains.

Thanks @dunelm
I have forgotten more than I remembered about using the app Zen Brush 3.
It does a limited colour palette.

Regardless of the day, with this Govt,
Matt Lucas's advice is STILL the Go To for any Government guidelines being issued.

Please note
Remove work "Work" ..insert "Holiday"

++NB ..Only applies if you dare to lay down on a sunbed, paddle or enjoy "Foreign food or people"
Can't have too many Oiks, fouling up our wonderful Airport's.

Obviously if it's for "Business" purposes, you are, as we all obviously know, totally immune from getting or passing in Covid in any form.
So do feel free to do all the above and have a jolly good time, YOU deserve it

Do try & keep up, Mr Dunelm.

It's all clear, if you bothered listening
As out fearless leader elucidated his wisdom to the masses....

I thought I would do a painting in ZenBrush3 app this morning.
I admit it was for quickness. Because I need to get on with the day. But because it has been so long since I've used it I have completely lost ability to use it. I had intended painting in a Chinese manner. But I ended up painting in a western manner. And the app didn't behave itself and carried on painting even when I stopped, and I'm watching it doing brushstrokes all over the place and I can't stop it.

So, here is my attempt for today...

I like that.

Skynet , you say.

Who knew AI could do such nice art .

5.1 this morning. Busy day ahead. Back to face to face teaching. Just got to remember everything I need to take as it has been so.long since we were last back at our venues.

Good luck on your first day back.

As easy as riding a bike, while falling off a log, I'd say

Go blow their socks off



Must go, have to find more words of wisdom ..

Best wishes for the liver clinic appointment. Routine or not, there is always an element of apprehension for most of us.

 

[jjraak]

Yes, best of luck at appointment @alf_Josiah .
Hope all goes as well as can be.

Mmmh

Have to wonder if Churchill had the same morals how much his ministers would have made & would we have prevailed..

Though the thought of tanks, guns, ships, uniforms that didn't work or protect, doesn't bear thinking about

Thank you @gennepher - painting on Rizla papers - what an interesting idea - maybe red as it’s a bit thicker than the others.

Ha ha @jjraak
It still needed me to open up the app to enable it to do so...

I shall go and hunt some out @dunelm

Looks like you won the battle with your art tools in the end. Well done sticking with it, I think a hammer would have been a very tempting tool to teach it a lesson. Painting all worked out in the end.

Learn something new every day, RIz La Croix, I'm sure I passed through a place called that in mid France.

Good Mountain scape in your accomplished style.

And it was a combination of British and American science that is getting us out of this one, again!
Plus an exploited worn out and dedicated N.H.S. work force whilst doris and his yes men, bumble along in the background and take the credit.

Not the most reliable source - although I've read learned works arguing the same ( BEF. (Back Every Friday).blow up tanks, wooden guns and men shouting bang) - and not Churchill but the same clique running the show IMHO. So, there does seem to be a pattern and consensus emerging - purely IMHO and haters gonna hate is a stock/glib riposte. @lindisfel plus ça change? Watch or read the script of The Dawn Guard (Boulting Brothers) Early outing for authentic v woke. Miles' view seems to be very "of the moment/woke." Obviously, no two eras of history are exactly the same but there are eerie similarities.

Thank you @Muddy Cyclist - I only knew about Riz La Croix through my French brother in law.
