Group 7-day waking average?

@eggyg Sometimes I get the odd burst blood vessel in the eye. Maybe one every four or five years or so at most.

I’d suggest popping in to an optician and letting them take a look at it. They’ll very soon know if it’s anything that warrants speedy action or not but you do only have two eyes so it’s worth flagging things like this up with the experts if it’s unusual for you. And a pharmacist is not an expert.

@eggyg my mother used to get burst blood vessels in her eye - they always looked awful. If you do go to optician to check out, mention the sneezing, that might be enough to do it.

Morning all. 6.8

Went to the gym yesterday. Kept things very light.

Afterwards I went to see light differently and saw the Sienna exhibition at the National Gallery. I’d been putting off going because the advert is annoying but it’s remarkable.
Many of the alter pieces reconstructed here have been broken up with their various panels in museums dotted all over the world. It’s the first time that they’ve been in the seen complete (or nearly so) in hundreds of years.
Reliquaries have been reunited with panels of gold painted glass for the first time since the late 15thC and the most remarkable monumental plaster slabs showing the base outline of murals on church walls are shown here for the first time anywhere.

I’m not usually one for religious art, or medieval art either tbh but this collection is remarkable in the breadth and the skills it highlights.

This is the official main attraction. It’s tiny. It’s stunning.

Carved ivory. The detail is amazing.

I particularly liked the St on the far left who just looks bewildered and a little angry.

This alter piece has never been seen whole anywhere since being broken up in the 15thC until now.
Again we have an angry Saint (bottom left) but we also have the first recorded example of the classic rugby shirt!

Loved the emotion in the annunciation panel View attachment 35160

This is a rare example of silk and gold cloth from the early 13thC. There were laws restricting what cloth could be worn by whom and things like this were only worn by high clergy or royalty

Slabs of plaster from church wall. The Annunciation.

Of all the intricate, beautiful, complete objects here it was these that stopped me in my tracks.

It was these that I sat on the floor in front of for a while just losing myself in them, in their history, in their simplicity. It was these that I backtracked to at the end and contemplated again and it was these that I’d have happily taken home.

Thank you for posting this, Colin. Stunning icons.
 
Almost followed up yesterday's HS with another one - 5.3 on this bright & sunny Berkshire morning.

It's Home-Alone-Wednesday, my favourite day of the week, and I have a list of things I can be getting on with. Sainsbury's and the Garden Centre Shop ticked off the list already and a shoe rack installed in our under stairs cupboard (well, on the back of the door, actually). My wife doesn't want shoes cluttering up the hall anymore. There's one final bit of painting to be done, mainly the hallway ceiling (I hate painting Artex, but needs must), though nothing that's going to take up much time, and afterwards I'll get the grass cut front and back. Coffee, newspaper and then lunch first though.

Hope everyone has a great day and gets a chance to enjoy this lovely Spring sunshine.
 
12.2 immediately after getting up for a wee.

Probably not helped by having to talk DD through a panic attack at 2am!

Today feels slightly cooler than yesterday here but definitely salad weather, tins of tuna, mackerel, olives and some tomato and cucumber today.
 
14:15 BS 8.6 & I stuck in a cautious reduction of -2 basal, can always reduce further tomorrow, 58 & my pills. Maybe ate too much wraps earlier, had 4 mini wraps, &/or too little NR as I was in the 11’s for most of the time while I slept only started coming down about 12:00.

Will have breakfast now as I’m rising already 15:45 BS 9.6.
 
Afternoon 5.5 this morning been out most of the day enjoying the sunny weather as well as food shopping, its to warm to do anything in the garden so will wait until its a bit cooler have a few bits to plant and need to water everything hope your all enjoying the lovely weather

I mentioned that to pharmacist and he did say that could to it. Surprisingly enough it looks absolutely fine now.
