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.

Now you know, Ian, what ET felt like? :)

6.15am FBG 5.4
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.

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.

Wonderful bit of colour work @dunelm
 
An expected 6.2 for me this morning after eating some leftover late night munchies of son's pakora.:hungry: I find it really hard to resist sometimes if it is there ...

Picked up new glasses today - not sure if they are ok or not yet - might just take me a day or two to get used to them - new varifocals ...

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.

Good Morning and 5.9 for me today. I have to get these numbers down, SAlmon Salad for meal last night. Steak salad for lunch and a whole day of Muddy Cycling, I expected better.

Missed yesterday as out early morning until evening Mountain Biking with Son in Law. Met Mrs MC and daughter for lunch at ours by doing a figure of eight route with lots of twists and turns I between. CYclists tan developing well. :)

Will catch up later.

Mrs MC gets her second jab today, she is worried as the first made her feel so ill for 12 hours.

Keep safe enjoy the day of rest.

Good morning everyone on a pleasant start to St George’s Day here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of home made burger with spiced cabbage, onion and mushrooms came in at 4.5 this am

We are going over to our little house on the prairie today but not until after a late breakfast/early lunch with daughter and eldest son at splendid Alan Fresco’s. Film crews have begun appearing; Small Top Gun bloke running about on top of a train in Levisham on the North Yorkshire Moors Railway and a bunch of Vikings making the most of the sunshine just up the coast filming for the next bit of Bernard Cornwell’s The Last Kingdom. Could be anyone though - they are all wearing masks.

Art bit for today - a dragon for St George’s Day. Hope everyone is as well as they can be in both body and mind. Koffy time.

Good old George, nice supportive dragon.

We watched The Last Kingdom being filmed on Port Ore BEach Wales, took them two days and it was the opening scene which lasted less than 1 minute.

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…

A fine pair of Toadstools. Seems they survived the Badgers and the cat. :)

Good nearly Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
Just got in from having a routine liver scan at the local hospital, nothing unusual they said, triplets and a hermaphrodite, as me and me's left the scanning room all I could hear was laughter, most unprofessional I thought hehehehe.

A peanut fuelled 7.8 this morning, o whoops I have just remembered I have forgotten to take my medication. Grrrrrr

Well fellow posters, painters and gamers, be nice to your fellow man and bring a smile to their face.
Remember the stays. Must go approx 10 pills and an injection to take, plus koffy.

Winner for good news, hug for memory problems.
 
good morning everyone from a propellers in a clear blue sky start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of sitting round a Teppanyaki with all things marinated came in at 4.5 this am

Another day at the little house on the prairie. All spring cleaning finished by lunch time and then our daughter and SIL came over with the girl in the bubble. Played a round the table game called Rummikub last night, a tile based game based loosely around elements of rummy and mahjong. Gets quite complicated as the game progresses or was that the wine?
No idea what we are doing today yet - the decision makers are still sleeping but could involve walking in sunshine and other ruined versions of Katrina and the Waves songs.

Art bit - more birds - have a wonderful day, wherever you go, it will be somewhere painted anew. For me, it’s a visit to the koffy pot.

Fbg 6.8

Okay, a slightly sleepless night. My fire alarm which flashed into my bedroom decided to go doolally yesterday. New battery didn't help so chucked it out. I still have flashing fire alarm for kitchen, but wouldn't see it in my bedroom.

So, I decide to put my Android phone on all night alert for noises. Just leave it on all night, and if a noise, it will flash that bright torch light, and when I look at it, it will give me time and duration of the noise, and detail of the noise.

Flashing light woke me up around midnight. Landline phone ringing , it said. What? Then I realised my window was open, locked in the groove, and my horrid neighbour must have had a landline call.

Then flashing light woke me up again around 2:30 am. Knocking, the Android said. So I checked front door, from inside, no one anywhere. But checked doors anyway, and put all lights on. Back to bed. Couldn't sleep. So made cuppa and did emails.

Suddenly flashing light, but a prolonged one this time around 5 am. Knocking it said. Checked front door again. Am getting a bit nervous by now...

Anyway, finally light outside, so I go out and check back garden. Someone has been partying hard in the night.

No I don't think it was them...
b0643.gif

No, not these either
But there doesn't appear to be an emojie for what I want...another look...

b0619.jpg

No, not a skunk...but pretend he is the badger...
He had chucked my garden tables around.
He had scattered some seed packets I accidentally left on my swing last night...
Tried to pull down my bird feeders and scattered the fat balls...
And he had got on my wooden swing...
And much more...

I have a headache...I need a nap...a long one...

My painting this morning in Procreate....
The dragons are based on some 30 year old cake decorations I have!
A quickie. I had wanted to do more on it, but I want a nap even more...
I am going to get a new fire alarm on Monday...at least that never goes off...
