Not in this house I'm fully stocked with coffee & kitten food but don't spread that around
Not in this house I'm fully stocked with coffee & kitten food but don't spread that aroundas it may result in a coffee shortage.
I have stopped buying avocados for exactly that reason but unfortunately cannot give up my almond butter and flaked almonds because I love them so much. I suppose that it may help that I limit them to 20g a day.I need to back off posting here BUT virtue signalling or not here goes. Grandson loves reading and yesterday was reading his latest school reading book. All about a Prime Minister, initiatives, systems, computer models and climate change - some big ideas and language for 7. Anyhow, as per my earlier post on contortionists, low and behold I am drinking tea with almond milk and eat plenty of avocados. Water is a scarce resource in many parts of the world and millions struggle to meet their needs. Those 2 crops place stupidly high demands on water. My WOE/lifestyle needs a kick up the jacksie to reflect better values even if it will taste even more vile. Take off bg control goggles and life can look very different - which I think is the common theme of those 2 posts.
My house is exactly the same, but with coffee, Montezuma 's and dog food. All safely under lock and key. Making sure that when we leave the house the alarm is set and the security cameras on so they stay safe.Not in this house I'm fully stocked with coffee & kitten food but don't spread that around
Pretty sure if someone wanted those things badly enough there would be nothing that would stop them. Also a very basic human instinct to look after you and yours so proper head scratcher/2 sudoku pooh as they sayMy house is exactly the same, but with coffee, Montezuma 's and dog food. All safely under lock and key. Making sure that when we leave the house the alarm is set and the security cameras on so they stay safe.
Personally, I am going for wrapping myself in cling film or wearing one of those full face snorkeling masks and carrying a bar of soap and a bath towel. Or better still, just getting on with stuff.

Here is another of my blue period...

Top one is mixed media paper. In the sketch book, bottom one is the index card.
I used blue watercolour paint. Drew lines up and down the paper, then sprayed with a mister...
I loved the index card one until it blurred and blurred...too much water. Mixed media paper got more the effect I was going for. It has still blurred more than I wanted. I didn't do any more on them now because i will lose that effect. But when i figure out what to add, there may be a tiny drawing to come on the bottom one. But i don't know yet.
Anyway, take care
Have fun
Hugs if you want some...
Thanks @gennepher top one graceful dancing ladies bottom one creature from the deep. Love them even if I am bonkers.
@gennepher your art today was an interesting experiment, agree with you about too much water, happens to me quite often when spraying with a mister then have to fight back to get control. I'm fascinated with what you might do with the more abstract one, I will watch this space with interest.
I didn't post any art yesterday but had been working in a new media for me, stained glass, well not actually but glass painted with glass paint and the design laid out with a liquid metal that looks like lead. The whole thing when finished is baked in the oven at high temps and out comes a piece of waterproof stained glass.
My sons cottage had a small window in the front door which was clear glass and so I came up with the stained glass idea for privacy. Son Is a farrier and so the horse shoe idea, white hot from forge and the heat of suns rays to represent the heat of the fire. If I did it again I would not have so many small areas of colour which made it difficult. All I have to do now is fit it.

Morning...an interesting but varied start to my day...Charlie did something unspeakable earlier...I wandered downstairs desperate for coffee immediately my phone started ringing..it was a long standing client so spent the next forty five minuets trying to get a busy custody suite to answer their phone...that done realised no FBG hmmn dilemma coffee or BG no question coffee...not a great start but on a positive note I believe I have managed to delegate a possible journey into the deepest dark corners of south London to a colleague...and Charlie has reminded me there is more to him than his social faux pas on the bedroom carpet so I am posting his photo of him & 'Plumpy' taken yesterday... we are making some progress with those two but Lola will not co-operate & spent the whole visit sulking on one of the chairs under the dining table.

Yes - it did cheer Mr K up a lot. He really does immerse himself in the Rugby.@Krystyna23040 I would like to read about your Nespresso flavors.
Hugs to Mr K -- he has been through a shock, good thing he's had rugby to cheer. Hopefully his system will sort itself out ...

Pity you didn't live nearer I would have sent the hubsta around. He would be in his element painting walls and fixing windows. Mind you his expertise is sealant, lethal with a sealant gun.08-03-2020

Blaming the late dinner with two tiny roast potatoes for that. Must stop work earlier. But then, there is still so much to do. And yesterday MrSlim strained his back ...ouch. ofc he is carrying on... which may not be the best thing for it.
Today I did my 1st Podcast. Loved it. Didn't get in a flap. Really nice interviewer put me right at ease. Had notes as I wanted to remember everything important (still managed to leave bits out!!!) Sharing my journey (via Zoom app) with a podcaster in Columbus, Ohio!!! We could see each other clearly and chatted away for over 1 hour. It was as if he was in the next room. Little things like that astound me.
'Where would I direct anyone looking for info on type 2 diabetes?'. One of the questions. Easy.
1) Dr David Unwin and his fantastic infographs + info (seeing over 75 type 2 patients into remission to date) https://phcuk.org/sugar/
2) diabetes.co.uk and the amazing forum members who give so much to so many, plus the Low Carb Program details can be found there. https://www.diabetes.co.uk/
3) Public Health Collaboration - (PHC) https://phcuk.org/ - a group of Drs, consultants, HCPs and ambassadors dedicated to helping people make informed decisions on their health and wellbeing
4) watch videos on YouTube from Dr Unwinone of his latest Dr Jason Fung, Dr David Cavan, Dr Richard Bernstein to start with. You wont go far wrong.
And tonight 1st babysitting duty for our new grandson. Played with him all evening, fed and watered! He was blowing raspberries, trumping for fun, making gurming faces, some very strange noises indeed. And that was just my hubby! Granson was a dream!!
