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

The splodges look great and relaxing and full of freedom of movement @dunelm
 
Brilliant @jjraak
 
Thanks @geefull

This paper takes the colour amazingly, and that sky is stunning!A beautiful painting.
 
Morning all.

Still clearing down the liver, kidneys, pancreas of all kinds on day six of the new regime. Diet is good, exercise in place, so not disheartened at 8.5 mmo/lt FBG at 0630.

Tomato plants going gangbusters. Have switched to determinate variety Marmande this year, from last year's cracking success of the indeterminate Fiorentino. Latter was a bit big for my garden space and a lot of work. This year I have to resist the "pinching out" and removal of suckers.

Have a good day everyone.
 
I think I have caught up, but the posts for one day (24 hours) were skipping all over the place, and I would expect, when I open up this thread that the posts are all in order from yesterday, but no. I had to skip back and forth when I realised there were missed ones. Sigh...

Fbg 6.8

My painting for today is this...

Yesterday I was going through my paint apps on my iPad. But because of the latest updates by Apple, at least 5 of them do not work at all now. And a couple are misbehaving and not working properly. And I get the message that the developer of all those apps need to update them. I have paid for some of these which now will not open up until the developer updates the apps to suit Apple. Also my sketches and paintings are locked within these apps, and I cannot access them now.

If I were a developer I think I would have thrown the towel in by now...

So I downloaded a few more (I am trying to get something that gives me the versatility of the ZenBrush3 which I deleted because of its bad behaviour and heating up my iPad enough to fry an egg on, okay an exaggeration, but it was too hot to hold with my fingers almost instantly and I had to shut the iPad down).

I was dissatisfied with nearly all of them. I know what I want, but I have to download and try them out to see if I can work with that painting app. Many of them bit the dust immediately...

Finally I ended up with Tayasui SketchesPro. It was free, although you can pay for extras, which was what I did as it was a one off payment.

This is my first messing with it.

I was going to delete it, but then I saw an eye, and a 'whale' with a tongue. So, I tried to find out how to do the colour. I am jabbing everything on the screen with my finger...and I find it. But you need to know where to jab the screen, because it is blank of 'tools' for the most part. But I am learning where to jab my finger for this invisible icon...

So, here is my first attempt with it. I will play more with it later, I need to get out in the garden while the day is still peaceful...

So, I will love you and leave you, and peek in later...
 
Lovely painting. I love the way you have painted the misty sunlight in the sky and how it has reflected on the sea.

I am not as sore as I thought I would be this morning. I was careful and didn't overdo it yesterday. I definitely wanted to avoid hobbling into classes today. Not a good look for a Pilates teacher.
 
If the problem is wax, have seen several people get good results with bicarbonate of soda drops. Might be worth a try.
 
Excellent.
Just a few brush strokes and you have a three masted long distance junk battling through rough seas.

7.30am FBG 6.4

Exactly the same as yesterday and for the same reason, late night snack of peanut butter. Mr Greedy comes to mind, but no suitable emojis.

Yesterday MrSlim cut down nearly all of the standing hayfield that was our "garden" Now I have hours of raking ahead. He thinks that if he mows and then mows repeatedly over the grass cuttings they will mulch and eventually disappear. Am not convinced.

Am concerned about this little fellow too.
 
Tuesday already here - what day is it where you are at? 4.8 on Swipey from yesterday - meh. Menu from yesterday copied and pasted - adjust Fage and Raspberries downwards, move on. I'll make an appointment for my first bloods since election day 2019 just to draw a line under this era and move on. My BG isn't very amenable to control by diet but the full panel of bloods will be useful. Great painting again @geefull and who is that artist @lindisfel? Tenacity again @gennepher so I'm looking forward to the art from the new app. Glad you aren't sore and stiff @Krystyna23040. Nice upbeat post @True Blue - tomatoes? We have 3 bought from W......ose. "Back home" there was an amazing guy who sold upwards of 50 varieties each year - 20-25p per plant. May be someone in the villages here when life opens up. Bye.
 
Good Morning and 5,9 for me today. Tuna Stake and stirfry greens last night so disappointed in number.

Dry day so a Muddy Cycle ride calls need the practice on the trails as I'm out for a ride with Brother in Law on Saturday and he's got an E Bike and is also 15 years younger than me. Also have to sort the bearings in my front wheel as it's a tad wobbly.

Audiology Appointment yesterday was as I feared, wax in ear can't do it so back on the merry go round.

New phone swap over took ages but think it's all sorted now.

Will catch up on posts later with a coffee.

Keep safe and treat the day kindly.
 
Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and all who are struggling with that well know variable called time this morning.

A 5.5 this morning on that mischievous meter.

Sorry but no time this morning to spare and I must disappear and get on with enjoying my life.

Please remember the stays.
 
Hi @ianpspurs
Mixed tomatoes? Need to decide if you want a bush or vine variety, then support, prune and nurture as appropriate. Suggest split the types into two separate areas if available. Good luck.
