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

Going straight in the boot...no idea how Siobhan will get it home ordinarily I would have dropped her off home but now it will cost £15 because the Congestion Charge is active 7 days a week until further notice.

Blinking heck @HarryBeau it's gone up that much!
I didn't get round to renewing my congestion charge pass this year, so it has run out now. I thought, with this coronavirus thing would I ever be driving round London again?

 

[gennepher]

Brilliant!

Thank you @HarryBeau

Happy birthday Doddie Weir. Far worse things to deal with than managing T2 via diet and exercise.

I shall sneak over the border with stealth....

I thought you're allowed to now.

Yep it's now £15 the charge runs 7 days a week and is active from 6am to 10pm now TFL says it's temporary but who knows...it came in after the government 'loaned' them money to keep them afloat.

Late to the party, straight 6.0 today for me.

@gennepher Happy birthday, have a lovely gentle day

Went out for my walk and saw the folk waiting for the pubs to open, people everywhere, so I just turned around and headed back. Best start stocking up ready for wave #2 I guess.

Enjoy the day

I am, but there are still road stoppages by the the police for wayward English tourists....and I prefer to avoid them @HarryBeau

Bearing in mind just who and what dominates my immediate area very rude to forget. Good point made in the Washington Post this morning : “How is it,” asked Samuel Johnson, “that we hear the loudest yelps for liberty among the drivers” of enslaved workers? There was no good answer to that question." Remarkable how the take back controllers, end lockdowners and anti wokers have "cancelled" that quote.

My ZenBrush2 app painting for today.

My first attempt at a cat!
I might try more cats today....

For my real paper and ink Chinese paintings, I had various seals, and 20 years ago I could write my Chinese name. But I cannot do my Chinese name on this app yet, my hand is far too clumsy. However, I have been trying to figure out how to do a simple pictorial Chinese seal (the last few days) for my ZenBrush2 paintings. This is the most successful so far, to say I am a cat painter (albeit only one cat painting so far).

@gennepher Do like the almost cartoonish quality of this cat.

@gennepher great Cat!

Went out for my walk and saw the folk waiting for the pubs to open,

I bet Prince William didn't have to wait at 6.10 am today and Chips for breakfast, what's the royal family come to?

I'm with you, staying firmly at home this weekend.

So here is my first Sea Cliffs watercolour. My son drove off to Cornwall with his Caravan this morning, rather him than me. Anyway I thought about the Cornish coast and it's many coves, this taken from a plein air sketch I did a good few years ago A4 and about 90 minutes.

I think it was originally sketched near Boscastle or Tintagel.
Original sketch thumbnail below.
