Fantastic news on the scan. Shame about incurable Alfness but we'll call it quits. Mrs A J is in for a tough day looking after those personalities with their all clear. She has all the sympathy of the whole forum but I guess that is a given;) Give her a hug and dry her tears - they're unlikely to be laughter.;)

I have read your replies out to Mrs J, Mrs J says thank you.

Glad you found it useful.

I did read through and on to the ongoing discussions re actors playing parts.

While not affected personally, the recent infirmity plus the input of many on here has opened my eyes to reality for others who are.

Without wishing to step on toes, I can see why bringing subjects to light with established stars makes good sense ( the rock in skyscraper) I can also feel the hurt that actors who may not be mainstream yet, may never get the chance if that continued.

Like you I think perhaps bringing subject matters to light, at all, for the general public to realise and reassess is a good thing.

Hopefully that success, leads to film makers realising there is a market and expanding the opportunity FOR actors affected to actually play those parts, and become the stars in their own right.

Difficult call, for sure.

It is a difficult call, and always one that won’t please everyone @jjraak

Fbg, before I forget with this head butting cat who seems to have discovered my hernia and that it gets a reaction from me, is 6.9

This digital painting was also cut short by the same head butting cat, so this is as far as I can get with it...it is some pottery mushrooms in my garden...

Head-butting cat has been fed several sachets of cat food to try and keep him quiet a wee bit... i'm now going into the garden and head-butting cat will just have to look at me through my bedroom window…

HbA1c test is booked for five days time, knowing this, why on earth did I have biscuits with my coffee this morning? Don't usually have any, never mind two.
On the other hand have just had a negative result on Covid test. Test is in preparation for return to France in a few weeks.
Shower was lovely. Great to be able to wash hair as well. Heating is back on again also, we have been using the gas stove, while boiler was out of action. These are little luxuries we normally take for granted.
Still need to get appt for cat to see vet, he needs health check and preventative tablet for parasites.
@gennepher Hugs for the sore places getting cat head butts.

Hot water and heating sounds absolutely brilliant!

A beautiful morning...blue skies...and a gentle cat this morning towards me. His whiskers were searching my face most of the night...

To give him his twice daily dementia tablet this morning, was a little more of a struggle. He saw my hand advancing and took a magnificent nearly 6 foot leap up to on top of a cabinet...he is 28 years old for goodness sake (nearly 29). So, this morning, it was catch the cat, mummify him in a blanket...and brave the tiger teeth...

Digital painting for today. Where I post my letters sometimes, are often some fairy rings in the grass below. So, to follow on from the pottery toadstools of yesterday, here is a magical fairy ring...do not step in the middle...or else a hundred years will pass in an instant...

I don't know what is up with cat this morning, he is extraordinarily bright and alert...he is definitely getting the correct dosage of the dementia tablet...

The traditional day to pick Dandelions to make wine is the 23rd, Darn! Missed it again. Have made this and it was magnificent, beautifully clear, golden and as a result of accidental double fermentation highly alcoholic. Maybe when MrSlim actually retires we will be settled enough for wine making.
@gennepher amazing leap from Popeye, glad he is being kinder to you.
 
5.4 this morning. Course was really good - lots of new stuff to.think about and incorporate into my teaching. It is so lovely to be able to keep learning new stuff.

Dog walk in the sunshine and then the Saturday classes and then some time to relax. Hopefully that doesn't include watching too much snooker.

A mighty leap from the mini-tiger - hope he does not land in that fairy ring. Fabulous digital art from you again, lovely theme.
 
Good morning you lovely people. Clear, cold and I still can't settle in Suffolk. My birth certificate clearly shows born in Cambridge and like the ring in LOTR it seems to want to go home . 4.7 for me but it is Libre so I'm not silly enough to believe it is real. I find it hard enough to deal with the hunger and tiredness of this WOE without stabbing and despairing at crazy numbers. Libre and morning weigh ins motivate me - the food is a massive inconvenience. However, diabetic complications would be a bigger inconvenience. This is certainly a whole lot less intrusive and inconvenient than the treatment and monitoring for bladder cancer. Great news about the shower and negative test @SlimLizzy. I hope the return to France goes smoothly. Well done on avoiding the scam @karen8967 and thanks for sharing @jjraak even though we don't deal with Vodaphone it is good to know. Glad Popeye is more tolerant of your artistic endeavours today @gennepher. The course sounds good @Krystyna23040. Enjoy your day even if you are mad and totally unethical - which is hardly news to anyone when applied to our PM.

All moving in the general direction of hooray! Hope that your plans for returning to France go without a hitch.
 
Good morning everyone from one of those of will it/won't it weather starts here in the dark and dangerous north.
The wonder wheel of a lazy DIY salad, picked over in the heat of the evening sun like a couple of exhausted crows who had miraculously found that they liked wine and could even hold a glass, came in at 5.2 this am.

A pleasant late breakfast at Alan Fresco’s and then over the moors to our little house on the prairie. The pleasantly warm morning turned into quite a hot afternoon. So hot in fact that Mrs Miggins donned a wide brimmed hat and put enough sun screen on to blend in with the Mudmen of Asaro. It painted quite a picture from my shaded seat as I watched her cooling the air with the pressure washer while at the same time cleaning down our two garden sheds, the contents of which we had turfed out for a spring clean.

Art - back to birds for a bit. Hope everyone has a pleasant day, I am still in the middle of my morning koffy.
