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

Great that you had a really good day today @Lamont D and that Mrs L, has been a bit better as well!
 
What's that got to do with admin, It's on the chat section, we are all different and have different issues.

Quite a production line going on there and herbs in oil will make smashing gifts - chillies would also. I think that dehydrators do take longer than the manufacturers say.
 
Good morning everyone on a brilliant blowy start here in the dark and dangerous north. Good day for hanging out the washing - very eco friendly. Not much done yesterday. Mrs Miggins’ twin sister did some shopping for us as we are both still testing positive - such a nuisance. Spent a couple of hours in my art room. Not much done, a couple of zen brush strokes, but did find where I had put that advertising poster for the film Hokusai (copied below for the interested). Mrs Miggins spent time updating our grandchildren’s photo albums. Six, one for each of them. The eldest is now 18 so quite a thick album. The Girl In The Bubble - three - not so much but more than you would think. Mrs Miggins is keen on clicking away on her box brownie. Art bit, a zen stroke, it’s all the rage. Hope your day is kind to you. I shall finish my koffy and then do some exercises.



 
5.8 this morning. A brilliant reading as we ate late and far too much. I had a rather huge chunk of very mature cheddar after my substantial dinner and then more teaspoons of peanut butter than I am going to admit to.

Because we ate so late, and so much, I was expecting quite a high fbg. Mr K enjoyed the rugby last night and I enjoyed catching up with the posts and reading.

Off to Gooderstone Water Gardens for a relaxing stroll later this morning.

There is considerable confusion over the identity of the chillies? Peppers? Most are supposed to be sweet peppers, however most are spicy. So am thinking to treat them all as chillies and try a recipe called Cowboy candy. There are a few obvious chillies, but the rest don't really look like either. Too wide for chillies, wrong shape for peppers.
Procrastination rules here. Have been saying I will do this for several weeks while the chillies? Peppers? pile up in the fridge.
 
FBG 5. 1
Have been unusually efficient this morning and am now ready to go out into the garden. Once again avoiding dealing with the chillies? Peppers? May be later? It's a glorious sunny morning after several very wet days and the greenhouse needs its windows opening. Outdoor tomatoes will be inspected for blight, but it's probably time to give up on most of them. Cut off the forming fruit and to turn it into green tomato chutney. The chances of ripening any of it successfully indoors are small. Plus Kiki has invented a new game - use claws to snag and then roll the ripening tomatoes onto the floor. Chase them about. Abandon for humans to squish underfoot.
 
Fbg 6.5

Gathered in loads of tomatoes yesterday. 5 plants are completely spent, but one tomato plant is still producing more and more tomatoes.

Finished one apron. Doing a second one. It's of a summery cotton material which is easy to wash&dry. These two are easy because pockets were already in the dress I cut up. The other two summer dresses don't have pockets and are not as long so I think they will become tie round the waist aprons...

Cat Midnight thought it would be a quiet night, but both Boy Badger and the immediately after his father Pa Badger came to 'kiss' Midnight...
Midnight had refused point blank to come in, and you might be able to hear me turn the key in the lock as I went back in.

Creative is in acrylics done in the garage. And I drew the detail in Procreate. It will become a postcard, and I will either do inkwork on it, same/similar as on here, or something the receiver of the postcard say they are interested in, in their bio.

Time for a nap...

And a coffee...


 
Just looked up Cowboy Candy - interesting. You could of course use some of them for pickling spice and even dehydrate and stick in jars. I have some of these (below). Bought last week - only had one of each so far. Not for the feint hearted

Interesting Hokusai poster @dunelm
I like the Zen stroke. I have been watching some videos with people doing that....
 
good to read that you are off and away with the apron production line. Smashing artwork with wonderful colours. Are those birds after Lin Fengmian?
 
I think the keys can be difficult to hit. I often hit the b or n instead of the space bar which is really annoying.
g in front of t is my main problem, or it even appears in the middle of a word sometimes. I try to go back and fix them all but sometimes miss them. I used to be a very accurate and fast typist (on one of those old stand-up-and-beg typewriters), but since transferring to a keyboard and since growing my nails a bit, my accuracy and even speed have gone out of the window.
