Before bed, I thought I'd post this as a separate thing. It is the basis for my next try at animation but I think is nice on its own

This painting is absolutely stunning in its own right

I wonder what the animation of it would be like?
You know you said yesterday you thought you had water retention. And I mentioned something like I thought processed food, and the pre packed sauce mix you used might have something to do with it. I also mentioned that I had some Xmas cake the day before. Well, I never checked my ankles after I had eaten it the day before - my ankles are the first to begin to swell. But yesterday with you mentioning your legs, I had another piece of Xmas cake (this is research you understand) and I had a nice huge chunk with butter on it...
Later in the day my normally slim, trim ankles (the rest of me isn't trim, but I am proud of my trim ankles!) had no definition, they had swollen, not a lot, but enough so you couldn't see the definition of my ankles. The only thing I had yesterday that was processed and shop bought was that Xmas cake.
Normally, the way I eat is straight unadulterated food, nothing out of a tin or a packet. (I do have tins as backup food, always have done this in case we get badly snowed in, or other crises)
I don't know what ingredient or combination of ingredients in the shop bought Xmas cake affected my ankles to retain water. But there are too many ingredients in the Xmas cake. I knew that when I bought it. But a friend on chat the previous day had said, go on get yourself some special food for Xmas like some Xmas cake to cheer you up for Xmas day. Now I don't get that ear worm for songs and music like the rest of you were saying the other day (I never have but then I have only the distorted version I hear of music and songs, so maybe it is not possible for me to get that ear worm). But what I do get, is if some says the name of a food I really fancy, and then says go on it won't do you any harm just once. I get that ear worm....XMAS CAKE....
So when I was in the Equestrian store the other day looking for horse bedding (no I don't have a horse), I saw this XMAS CAKE at the entrance....so I bought it. I walked away from it several times but brain kept saying XMAS CAKE YOU KNOW YOU WANT IT...so I got it.
Horse bedding? Well it is wood pellets, which apparently makes very good cat litter. Cat litter is expensive, a shortage in the shops again, and I have fallen out with Amazon, so I needed cat litter from somewhere. A huge sack cost £5.99. Someone put it in the car for me, and I had to be inventive to get it from car to bungalow - too heavy to lift. I digress from swollen legs and ankles.
Anyway, this morning my ankles are trim again, nice neat ankles, but I still have some Xmas cake left. Throw it away you might say. Not on your nelly. But it will be finished today, just for research you understand...to see if my ankles swell again.
I am guessing your shop bought sauce packet had something to do with your swollen legs, and that you are doing keto also might have created a more severe reaction with water retention. Normally, you possibly wouldn't notice a slight bit of water retention with the shop bought sauce.
I won't get any more Xmas cake (?!?), but I have worked out/made up a recipe in my head, with ingredients that are okay for me.
Sorry I have rambled a bit here...
Then there is the whole Covid or Not Covid question, ARRRRGH!
