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


Thank you.
Your "friend" would be welcome there!

Your dream road trip?

Looks like fun

My dream road trip



More like yesterday's road trip--


which was a dream come true, in something like this:


 

Yes! The added bonus was that the coat was a size smaller than I’d usually buy! Hadn’t realised that all their clothes come up a size bigger though - I’m now a customer for life!
 
Oh of course..how could i forget..Doh.

yes that would explain it perfectly.

best wishes it's a simple fix, and you get back on the plains as soon as possible.
hugs for the day.
Thanks@jjraak.
 
Just dropping in after an exhausting day, granddaughters all in bed, still awake but fed, bathed and in bed. Will catch up on posts later..

But a day of craft and music, here are some of my granddaughters efforts.....


I managed to do 10 minutes on a wet on wet sky. I had planned on doing Pine Trees and reflections, maybe finish it Friday If I get a minute. So expect this one in instalments. A4 watercolour rushed 10 minutes.

 
I was dog tired when I got in. Internet was iffy in this wind. The wind never stops...

And I fell into a deep sleep. Just woke up, having a cup of chicory coffee...see if I can play catch up in this thread before I finish my chicory coffee...
 

Great dark sky @Muddy Cyclist
Love granddaughters efforts. Beautiful snowdrops and snowdrifts, and lovely leaves.
Have a good sleep...
 
Hope an apartment becomes available for you soon and in just the location you prefer. When I lived in Canada many many years ago, the town we lived in was up in the Rocky mountains and was surrounded by "bush"; quite often animals would venture into town, sometimes used to hear the wolves howling on a night. I remember bears used to be a bit of a nuisance as they came in after the garbage so used to hang around the houses at times which was quite scary.

Thank you @jjraak
I appreciate that.
I do love painting in charcoal and graphite and pastels, but it will have to wait until I am outdoors
So it’s back to the acrylics in total, or acrylics and the children’s tempera paint sticks, or maybe something else...
 
Thank you.
Heligan sounds good.
I hope you have a good day @DJC3
 
I like this one very much, one of your best charcoal pieces of art shared with us IMO, brilliant! Loved the light and delicate suggestion of spring in the green.

Thank you very much for the compliment @Muddy Cyclist
I am sad I cannot continue with the charcoal and graphite indoors. It is a medium I love...

Thanks @PenguinMum also for the compliment.
 

How lovely they all are! Your family is very talented.
 

Thank you.
I met a wolf once; I have never heard them howl in real life. I have heard coyotes. "Nuisance" bears of the Rockies sound scary to me as I picture them all being Grizzlies. In the Smokies we have only black bears AFAIK. But I'm not sure I'd really want to meet one on his or her own turf!





 
Fbg 5.4 this morning. Basal Triple strength Toujeo300 still doing a fantastic job. Only on 6units daily now. A huge difference to the 80-90units I needed 8mths ago.

Wow, what a drop...

looks like the treatments has worked wonders for you.

liking the new (?) avatar
life seems to be definitely looking up for you.
long may it continue...
 

Here here (I love @jjraak's posts, they say it all so perfectly and I just paste my 2 words worth)
 
Might be worth investing in an external hard drive and keeping all your files on it - I have a 1TB one, smaller than a fag packet - helps to prevent clutter on your your laptop. I also save everything drop box also, just in case.
Will a USB stick be sufficient?
