Curious point of note.
Ewan McGregor and Charlie wanted KTM to be the BIKE for the round the world TV shows, but they wouldn't give them the bikes..BMW did, a selection of GS's...and never looked back

Cool. Thank you. :)
Back in 1970 I knew a man who rode a BMW. It had a horizontal engine. Really good-looking bike!

Back from a lovely lunch and BG down to a respectable 5.6 but before we left home for the pub lunch it was 7.7 and I only had coffee for breakfast, lost and bewildered, but a bit more happy now.

We were talking all things European and holidays for some of the time and were asked about where we go in France. So inspired to paint France on return. These are the villages of Marcilly sur Maulne and Brie in between the Loire and the Loir rivers, two very untouristy French villages surrounded by Oak Forest and an English 1950s rural community feel about them. We have escaped here for over 15 years and still keep finding new places to visit. I have done two watercolours just less than A4 because I spent too long on the one 25 minutes and then decided to see if I could do the same scene in 10 minutes, not really happy with either but it's today's offering.

PS Never can do straight spires sorry these are wonky.

Those are beautiful. :)
Are they two churches in the parish? or two parishes?

This morning when I opened my eyes I saw from the quality of the sunlight that Spring is coming. And then this afternoon when I headed out to the grocery store I saw that the daffodils are up in our garden.

Now I am back indoors, watching Kitten Bowl VII, which will be followed by Cat Bowl II. Two kittens have just been adopted, and a cat lost in a California wildfire was returned to the humans who had adopted him shortly before they lost their home.

Glad the kittens found new Mahomes for Kitten Bowl

Hey I know the thread is mostly about FBG but after a challenging lunch out I am currently 4.4 one finger, repeat second finger 4.8. OMG this just doesnt happen to me. Just had to tell y’all. Was it because I have had 2/3 days of happiness?

Yay! 2/3 days of happiness can do us a lot of good -- and even more if coming on a steady routine such as you seem to follow on a regular basis. Hooray for happiness! :)

I love both of those @Muddy Cyclist. Both are atmospheric.

My spires would be wonkier!

You asked about two churches, they are two different villages, from this view point they look very close. They are on either side of the River Maulne and about 400 metres apart.

Life is more of a mystery than an adventure for me. I see lots of 4s around midday but search as I might I cannot uncover where they come from of how to find them again. Not happy got a 5.8 this morning, my experiment to trace the elusive 4s not going well.

Don’t beat yourself up about it though, 5.8 is a good fasting reading and and within range for the unseen chemical factory.

Good morning everyone from the dark and dangerous north.

The wonder wheel of late Sunday lunches in the pub and explaining to the staff that chips are also made of potatoes and bye the way hold the gravy came in at 4.5 this a.m.

Out walking yesterday morning, a little chilly willy so thicker gloves and a ganzy. Lots of snowdrops bursting out of the woodlands

Granddaughter decided on a stop over last night so Mrs Miggins will be up soon to take her back home. It’s her birthday today, Mrs Miggins that is, so a table booked at a nearby eatery. I say nearby, 16 miles as the crow barks, but always a decent meal.

Have a great day if you can, koffy calls.

Good morning each and every one of you wonderful people. 5.4 fbg which would obviously work much better in reverse but there would be no sermon then. Before all the testing, posting here, reading about T2 and consuming youtube experts I would have been quite happy if offered my current "dashboard of health" - minus bladder cancer obviously. Were I not testing and reading about keto I would also be quite happy eating mostly salad. This forum has introduced me to amazing people and made me appreciate how blessed I am and have been throughout my life. @dunelm wish Mrs Miggins happy birthday and pass on my admiration for her. I am certain she must be very wise, patient and loving as are all those who have wilful pedigree livestock:angelic:. @alf_Josiah keep making those playthings it is your gift so use it well. @karen8967 great start to the week. Leviticus 19 is a sharp contrast with the confected culture wars of today but 1 Timothy 1 1-17 shows just how much God's grace can make the most savage Leopard change its spots.
