Morening all

This mornings blood sugars were 6.2

Now I must depart this civilised thread and make my my to the edges of Mordor for a little spot of orc baiting along with getting on Mrs J’s only nerve.

Stay safe all, avoid orc baiters and enjoy today in all it’s glory.

@gennepher thank you for sharing the creative. That is my favourite of the inkblot series so far, incredibly creative. @Krystyna23040 and @Lamont D no cake for me as I didn't have the heart to make my son weigh 12 gms and a Spiderman cake doesn't suit my constitution. Just had yesterday's turbot I'm not a white fish fan so my opinion may be biased but whilst it is better than cod, haddock, coley etc (very low barrier to clear, more like limbo under) I can't see the value taste wise compared to Tilapia.

I hadn't heard of Tilapia fish before. Does it taste as good as salmon?

 

[dunelm]

Good morning everyone from a cool and sublimely quiet start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.2 this a.m. - must be something that I didn’t eat. A few hours wandering round some of the 500 acre Yorkshire Sculpture Park yesterday and then the grandchildren were whisked off home. Wonderful to have them for a week although quite exhausting - really! Slept like a bloke at his own wake last night - Mrs Miggins is as unmoving as a Henry Moore lump of bronze. A take it easy day today I think. Art bit, sketch of a clump of trees. Focus on the good bits - mine shall first be a mug of koffy.

6.4 this morning.
Daughter and granddaughter arrived safely in Toronto. We really enjoyed their visit.

No it doesn't taste as good as salmon because it is white fish - category error . Salmon counts as an oily fish, white fish are just sort of dry white non fatty "stuff" people eat and claim to enjoy for reasons far beyond my comprehension. Other views are available because opinions are like fundaments, we all have one. Oh, good morning everyone and have a simply splendiferous Tenth Sunday after Trinity. @dunelm thank you for sharing the wonderful art and photographs. A rest day for you today sounds like a plan. @alf_Josiah have a safe journey but one can't help feeling you, the Orcs, Mordor and the C21st probably see each other as a challenge they always easily overcome.

Thanks @Annb b
a houseful!
a merry time!
a lot of noise.
a lot of attention to our yorkies.
a lot of photo sharing.
#1,#3#5,#6,#7 & #8 being grandkids, just like me.
Mrs L had a wonderful smile on her face, until she was tripped but didn't call ov er and roll around like a prima donna, it was defo a pen. Red card issued to the ratbag.
had a nice play on the back footie pitch. We didn't win!
The house is very quiet now.
Gonna tidy up tomorrow, Mrs L has laid down, watching the athletics.
fish being cooked.
early bed tonight.

Nanny's v nazis.
The nans won.

Have a wonderful evening, just as I have had a nice day.
Best wishes to you lot as always.

I only properly picked up on this later @Lamont D but a great point made. It really is way past time to call out B and F man rather than sugar coat things by trying to give air to supposedly important legitimate questions which are nothing more than manure stirring. The man and his backers are the walking, talking core elite with an odious agenda - see attached. Yes, we want our country back - the real one not the make believe one they mythologise into existence then shamelessly exploit, the myth and other people, for no ends but their own. Well done Nans and well done your home City. You - Lamont - have a great Sunday.

Salmon is definitely the best fish, but I actually do like Sea Bream as well.

Our despicable local MP 30p Lee was telling all his thuggish followers around here that there were a load of asylum seekers in the local Travel Lodge he has been forced to apologise as the people he was talking about were relatives of NHS workers at Kingsmill Hospital on holiday to see their relatives the CEO of Travel Lodge and the Director of Kingsmill put complaints in about him the consequences of his lies could have been catastrophic.

I have given agree, however that is for the orcs etc.
As a youngster, who read a lot, cos of obv limitation of cash flow mainly. My mind got lost in adventure stories, sci fi and war fiction..... So it was Tolkien, which really tried my patients, cos of the writing and lay out of the overall storyline...... The same with Dune....... I persevered, and discovered a universe... More expansive than my trekkie stuff..... But to someone like me, who never got the imaginative way of layer story telling. One story within and along another, it at times, could be very annoying........ I wished sometimes, that they could write in Scouse.... It would be much more interesting, enjoyable and of course funnier. When did you hear an orc tell a joke? When did a Harkonnen offer a big of levity? Too much spice?????
How can you kill an orc, when they are dead already? Where did the huge ones live?
I digress.
I enjoy my white fish. No Tilapi here, never heard of it.
I don't enjoy the salmon, tuna, oily fish. Yuk!
Weirdness showing itself again, no shellfish here matey!

I like your clump of trees @dunelm

Sounds like you had a good day yesterday....great photos

Thank you @gennepher. A marvelous day and made all the better when the grandchildren spotted some bright blue damselfly and the heron and swans with their young.

What you are seeing on the city streets egged on by the organisers are the cannon fodder.
The real criminals behind the organisers are not the likes of Frogage and Tice (Lice) cos he is!
Are the money and agenda puppetmasters, which are paying for it all. To destabilise the country to achieve what?
I agree the country needs and question why we have so much of the rhetoric of the reasons they use. But that is a illusion of the agenda.
It is no surprise that the gutter press and media are spouting their BS. Because it's the same people backing and paying for the organisation of the rioting.
It can't be the ref... Company bankrolling, cos it would show up in accounts. Lice and frogage can't afford it.
The police must look at the money trail.
The government must put into law the recommendations of the press report, that the tories ignored and let rip.
Is it going to take more deaths to get those responsible to bring to account for it all?

The biggest concern for the majority is of course the difference between those that have and those that will never have, the way British society is run and the indifference to the majority.... A fair society, where everyone is treated with respect and cared for as the privileged have always been.
Poverty is rife... Food banks are rife.... Kids go hungry....people are homeless.... And denied the rights, a citizen should have. If the establishment addressed these issues and the obv propaganda of the fascists. We might get somewhere.
I won't see it in my lifetime.
We do want our country back, but not the one the fascists want.
This has been fifty years in the making. And no surprise after a heavy defeat to the right wing!!!!!!

Fbg 6.8

Been wasting my time on my Creative. Was trying out a new white paint, cartoonists white by Kuratake, on my painting. I was sorry I did. I wrecked it. It would have been much better with just using the white paintbrush from Kuratake.
And considering it was Cartoonist's white it photographed a sort of yellowish.

Not fit for purpose. If you can see in the tub it has partly solidified. It is meant to be ink to dip an ink pen in...not a hope. It is very plasticky which I had not expected. The reviews were raving positively about this product, but I think I have an old little tub. The tub was very small. And it was only half full. Dried out? Not worth the money. What will it be good for? Snow? That means I'll have to do some Xmas cards this year...

So I have wasted my time with this...

I should have been tidying some stuff up.
I'll have a cup of tea, or coffee? Which?
Or I'll go to sleep and have a quick nap...and start the day again...

Wildlife video nighttime
All the animals and cats walking around, not in the least bit fazed by each other, not what we are told to expect from these animals. They get on better than humans I think...
Badgers & Foxes & Cats wandering around during one night...
55secs

Have a better day than I have so far...
I'll turn my day around when I wake up after my nap. Oh, and I broke my varifocals this morning. It was that large black cat's fault. He knocked everything on my bedside cabinet on to the bed in the night. I thought I had carefully rescued everything, but I forgot to look for my glasses. My hand went on them...they were under the edge of the blanket...I felt a crunch...

A sleep always makes everything better...

No surprise this lawlessness has erupted after a big election win for the centre left. Tice has enough money to cause trouble and as the Cambridge Analytica affair proved there is a wider r/w agenda of backers with deep pockets not just the Mercers. Without going full on conspiracy theory one would think Putin must be loving the mess G7 politicians have made by their choice of "characters" rather than serious leaders. 30P Lee and the rioters, looters and those just drawn into the lawlessness will be thrown under the bus in a rush for "plausible deniability" - mealy mouthed phrase for go on, prove it in court with a sly grin/smirk.
