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

Thank you @ianpspurs
 
Not a good time at the chemists but a cheer for the smashing landscape
 
Agreed, its difficult to leave without finding one more piece.
The other thing I should be doing, instead of jigsaw, is using or preserving the tomatoes harvested Tuesday.
Here they are:

These are only from the plants in pots. There are many more in the greenhouse.

A real bounty there, especially with more to come from the green house
 
Thank you Ian...
 
What a wonderful selection of tomatoes - so many recipes spring to mind. All the very best with preserving them all.
 
Yes, indeed @gennepher, animals know when they're on to a good thing.
Your garden must seem like a positive treasure trove.

Thank you @gennepher for sharing a lively nighttime video and eye catching kaleidoscope images.

Good morning everyone on what might be a sunny day here in the dark and dangerous north. The sky has blues and shades of red, orange and yellow - best get some washing on the line. 5.1 this a.m. It’s a “haven’t a clue” day today apart from a stroll into town - power walking - what’s that all about? Also, is there a difference between walking fast and fast walking - I just can’t keep up with all this newspeak about the same thing. Art room tidied up to the point of ‘that’l do’. Art bit, dug out some pigment powders, what fun! Hope your day is a dry one for a change. I best make koffy and then get that washing on the line.

Fbg 6.8

I still have that visual migraine attack from yesterday, from being in the chemist's where they now shine an interrogation big bright spotlight on to the customers. it was fixed on the ceiling above the cashiers and impossible to avoid.

There were the two ceiling set in spotlights either side of it which were flashing, and I don't know whether that was intentional or not. But they will instantly trigger a visual migraine...

I will either have to walk into chemist with my eyes tight shut next time, or most probably I will find my dark wraparound sunglasses. My eyes are very sensitive to certain lighting conditions which do cause me visual migraine attacks. I have always had this, and I usually avoid shops or places which have these lighting conditions. But sometimes you can't avoid them.

I bought those dark wrap around sunglasses sometime in the 1970's from George Henry Lee in Liverpool. I was no good then with the kind of lighting they had in the shops at that time, and I would get a visual migraine within seconds of stepping in the shop. All I got from my GP at the time was to carry sugar lumps around with me and munch through the sugar lumps every time I got migraine attack.

So I will have to take those dark wrap around sunglasses next time I go into the chemist. The shops don't seem to sell sugar lumps anymore, so they are off my list..... but they are off my list anyway because of my diabetes, or was it because I was eating so many sugar lumps for years as advised by my GP that caused my diabetes?

Creative is one of my paintings I found when tidying...it was watercolours on wet layout paper stuck to a postcard. Then this morning I used pastel pencils for a bit of detail.

Have a good day.

Thank you. I attempted to dry a lot of the cherry toms in the oven, but they came out too salty so were wasted.

I love those pigment powders to play with @dunelm
It is not washing day here, it is raining....
 
5.4 this morning.
We have a really ancient freezer in the garage which is much more than 25'yearsld and had only recently decided to retire it.

We got a text from our neighbour at 10.30pm last night. Had we got any freezer space - theirs had broken down. So it is now out of retirement until they replace their freezer. Hopefully it stays working until then.

Suggestions please, the oven dried cherry toms didn't work well. Have made yellow tomato chutney.

Last year made sauces, but only a few ripe red plum tomatoes this year, no chillies and few peppers. Many onions though. My mother has requested red onion marmalade, but tomatoes must be dealt with first.
