I do have groundsel and wood sorrel.
And I have plantains growing.
Thanks for telling me that. I will transfer them to my vegetable container garden this afternoon @SlimLizzy

Fbg ... I forgot to take it when I woke up. It is now 3 hours later! So, I'll do it tomorrow.
Trail camera...badger. This video was taken a couple of weeks ago, just before I tied everything to the swing.
The wet badger eats cat biscuits...
Creative is Valerian. Done in Procreate first, and then did this effect with it, because my painting didn't look very good!
Looks better like this. Seen an ox-eye daisy in the garden.might do that for tomorrow, if I remember...
I spent ages yesterday evening setting a camera in the kitchen. I've moved some shelves into the kitchen so that I could attach the trail camera at the right height to see if I could see who is taking the trays of cat biscuits. Took me about an hour to do it, because I was testing it. It was the right height and angle, but unfortunately it's so lowdown it is difficult for me to alter the settings and put the SD card in.
I also spent an hour yesterday watching YouTube videos of how to place the the camera so it would trigger off, and one included a man crawling on the floor of his hallway, and in and out of his doorways in order to show exactly where the camera triggers off...
And so armed with this knowledge, I set the camera in the kitchen.
It's at knee height, impossible for me to alter settings at that height, but I can just about get the SD card in.
Nothing vanished last night. But I was rewarded with Mr Porky-Pie entering the kitchen many times and feasting... I am not going to listen to any of his pleas this morning, that he is a hungry cat and needs feeding...
The other cat that entered many times in the night was Merlin.
Time for a nap and a cuppa...

Morning all. Today we are all off to the cinema in Llandudno - family have booked one screen? room? whatevs to see The Little Mermaid. I don't like the cinema but the Ancient Greeks said the family that goes to the cinema together stays together. Gypsy Wood Park, Bontnewydd, Caernarfon, yesterday, faces painted, hair braided, diggers driven, donkeys ridden, mini train ridden, pockets picked. Bison steak and salad for evening meal. Cambs buffalo is better imho but I'm biased.Organic milk from Y Sied Laeth in one mug of morning tea - mix up with banana milkshake first off. We have seen Waitrose delivery vans here in Nefyn so modern life is (or could become) goodish - JKP likes that guy. @gennepher thanks for sharing the creative and introducing us to Mr Pork Pie. Have a great day everyone and remember how blessed you are to have teapot.

Good morning everyone on what just might be a jeans and jumper day here in the dark and dangerous north. A rest day yesterday with nothing much done - apart from feet up. Tried the Turkish eggs recipe . We both enjoyed it and will certainly make it again. Might be nice with some cheese grated on but wanted to see how it went with just the recommended ingredients. Might be a walk down through the woods this morning so probably collect some garlic for soup later on. Somebody mentioned Plantain - the plant that really gives - it makes a good salve that is good for skin irritations and insect bites as well as a useful vegetable. The seeds used to be collected, dried and pounded into a flour. Art bit, coming along. Have a wonderful day if you can. My kofee is now finished.

29.05
9.05am FBG 5.7
Hoping to get stuff done today
There are 85 tomato plants. Or which about 60 are seedlings. I need to make decisions about which ones to keep. For there are also peppers, cucumbers and a couple of aubergine that wi all need larger pots or transplanting outside soon.

@SlimLizzy 85 Tomato plants!!!
I only have 8!
I am transplanting two tomato plants today...
I am not supposed to eat them, but I love a tomato for a treat on a hot summers day, and they are sun kissed all the way through!

10.9 at 3 am. 11.5 at 8.30 (one cup of tea later). Back down to 10.5 now. Done my Zoom exercise class and am ready to make breakfast now.
Was to have had a haircut today but hairdresser called during the Zoom class to say she couldn't come until next week. So I shall just remain shaggy for a few more days.
It's grey and cold here today. Must go and put on an extra layer - would like to put gloves on too for the sake of my frozen fingertips, but I need my hands clear to make breakfast. The class involves warming up, including the hands, but it didn't make much difference. Maybe they'll warm up while I'm cooking

The balance is, not to think you can do all of it like you used to or as much as you can before you stop.
Someone gave me this bit of advice about 15 years ago... and it is to 'to do something like 3 to 5 minutes at a time', then stop, maybe have a cup of tea, and try again later.
I can hear you grumbling that won't get the job done!
But at least you are still breathing on this Earth ready to do the next bit.
It may end up taking a few days, but at least you are still here, and here for Marjorie.
I still haven't given in to this advice gracefully, but I do stick to it most of the time @lindisfel
And I am still here to mither you all....

Good afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen and those who struggle to accept the messages their body is giving them, a big failing of me, me’s and myself.
Blood sugars this morning were 5.5
Firstly a hug for @ianpspurs , I sincerely hope you did not get your pockets picked yesterday.
I finally managed to get 2 rides on my motorcycle yesterday was 42 miles and the day before was 18. Mrs J has banned me from riding today and later we are consuming bbq fodder, that’s going to blow my blood sugars along with the fodder timing.
Sorry but it is now time for my afternoon nap, a privilege granted to the old and according to Mrs J grumpy.
Stay safe
