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

6.8 at 03.40 today. A cup of coffee brought it up to 7.6 so who knows what breakfast will do to it. Been searching for important documents about this house and Alistair's house. Found some documents but they are not the important ones (house deeds etc). They have to be somewhere, but I fear my memory is beginning to falter. I've also mislaid my wedding and engagement rings, along with some pearls Tom gave me when we were married. They are here somewhere, but I can't think where to look. The papers should have been in a big, steel filing cabinet, but they aren't. Found 2, properly labelled, filing boxes with the plans and planning paperwork for each house, but that's all. Did also come across more old papers - stuff about our old house on the mainland, uni projects and certs - stuff no use to man nor beast, but no house deeds and no jewellery. I just can't remember, or imagine, where I could have put those things.
Try The Land Registry for House titles/deeds. As I understand it, Deeds no longer exist. Good luck with finding your precious jewellery too xx ( also try your bank, as they might have them for safe keeping)
 
Good morning everyone from an enthusiastic start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north
5.4 this a.m.
Slept for 9 hours last night. Two weeks away gadding about seems to take its toll nowadays. Still, I got to see a few people that I had not enjoyed the company of for a while.
Heat. I don’t do so well in the heat. Didn’t bother me when I worked in East Africa but now! From the knees up it’s fine but below that - oh dear, Friday afternoon ankles I suspect. I have recently acquired some compression socks - toe to just below the knee and wore them yesterday - seem to help and not uncomfortable for the short hour that I had them on. Another try out today.
Today. Some shopping, sending off gas and electric meter readings and must get a walk in.
Art bit - some ink and bleach - postcard size.
I hope that your day contains some cheer, better still moments of joy. I need to finish my koffy and get into the day.

Hugs... I am in the middle of a massive sort out throw out, et cetera... and I have to be ultra careful, I am not going to throw out any important documents....

I hope you find all these missing items. They are there somewhere. @Annb

Love this ink and bleach series... @dunelm I would love to get back to doing it but still clearing and tidying up and sorting and throwing out the stuff from many years...

Thank you @gennepher, you will get back to it some day. I am having a kitchen cupboards sort out today, especially in the one that Mrs Miggins calls The Cupboard of Alchemy, containing all manner of things that are low or zero carb that I just can’t now be bothered with. I know what the inner chemical factory likes or complains about so just going to leave it at that and can do without stevia, bewilderingly unpalatable bread substitute recipes and the like. Enjoy your clearing and tidying.

I have been doing exactly the same thing today, throwing the out all these things I bought to try, and I have now given up with a lot of them @dunelm

Hi @gennepher

Nowhere near a connonsuir of the arts , as you

So I had to Google encaustic painting.

Might not have readily done if your art here didn't stop me .

Beautiful isn't the right word, but I can appreciate the artistry

What stood out fur me, was the eerie sense of despair, ney, devastation I felt eminiating from the picture

I'm sure we all see different things in artworks

For me this one is a view from a hidden spot, observing the smoking ruins of barns or houses.

Quite brilliantly done & so effective bearing in mind the materials used

Bravo

Ah, yes....the getting older and wiser is tiring on some days .

Where oh where is that inner 21 year old I suspect we all still feel at times....obv before putting a foot on the bedroom floor each morning and making that first, old person sound each movement...(When does that officially start, I seem to have doing it forever . :hilarious: )

Again, a jolly good bit of artwork

Yes, I know it's a drop of this, a drip of that, to you arty types, but I'm always impressed how what seems 'so little' can come anywhere near to representing such detailed or delicate paintings.

Nice one

Brilliant artwork Gennepher. I've seen encaustic work, watched demonstrations of how it is done and really appreciate the results but how you get such wonderful effects with the materials is still a mystery to me.
