Thank you @Krystyna23040Such good news about Popeye - it definitely looks as though he is feeling so much better. You must feel better also after having some sleep.
Very interesting that the potatoes triggered arthritis pain. I have something similar happen with wheat and sugar. Only once since I went low carb in 2016 have I eaten wheat or sugar.
I won't go into details here at breakfast time - but I had a desert with wheat and sugar and it triggered a huge upset to my digestive system. It was the same as the digestive problems I have suffered with all of my adult life until I went low carb/keto - but magnified a 100 times. It did ensure that I never touched wheat or sugar again.

Bit higher than I like, that would be eating late, again.

@gennepher So glad to read that Popeye is improving. I had that same upsetting thought and worried for you. Isolation can be tough and our pets make a huge difference to our well being in difficult days.
Potatoes are a great comfort food, i can eat a very small amount. I think. Will be watching out now to see if they have the same effect as bread, which i absolutely love. Really miss it and have realised recently that even a small piece of normal bread will trigger carb cravings. Sorry to read about the arthritis pain. With return to LCHF will it ease swiftly?
@gennepher, sounds as if Popeye is improving thank goodness. - I actually found some cotton wool balls in the wardrobe yesterday, didn't even know I had them, Dil must have left them after a visit. Unfortunately they have been opened so no longer sterile but if they are any good let me know and I will forward on to you. - Don't know if you could sterilize by steaming them?
A beautiful nature study @geefull with a delicate touchgood morning all
today's art catch up -
no 1 is on A4 craft card and painted with the Kuretake paints using images from a couple of photographs.

no 2 - these were inspired by seeing a tiny framed up pic in the charity shop.
each pic is about 2.5 inches tall and both painted on one sheet of cream craft card with the Daler Rowney. I just wanted to see what such a small scale would be likeand the answer is fiddly to say the least

No more potatoes for me. I had some (a lot) yesterday, fried for comfort food and they were delicious. The potatoes have raised my blood sugars, and are now causing me arthritis sharp pains. So, no more potatoes...ever...
Back to LCHF today...
Get that number down.
Managed nearly 4 hours sleep last night. It would have been longer but a certain cat at 4 am this morning was very investigating every inch of my face with the tips of his whiskers...
He hasn’t done that for a bit. He looks as if he is feeling a lot better. The abscess on his head is improving. I was beginning to think I might lose him the last couple of days, and it was difficult to remain positive. Although I tried.
Thank you again for all your advice, support, ideas, and offers yesterday. And for being there.
Happy Easter

Mid-off - a fielding position, is normally positioned about 25-30 yards from the batsman and , facing down the crease to the bowler, at about 2 o’clock so signaling for that with his bat perhaps - but I don’t play the game. Here is a nice little video for you from someone who might:
My daily painting challenge for today. I used two different digital painting apps on the iPad to create this. I started with a digital canvas board, then painted. It is a derelict old rusted barn in the photo I took of it. It took a couple of hours.

I think the middle and leg was a stump reference, that is asking the ump if his bat was between middle and leg stump so he could make a mark and take his guard there.
Morning All. 5.7 today. Have already been out to feed Mr Fuzz and the girls. Bracing myself for another day of mice catching and rescuing. Havent let them out yet. Tea first. I have never had an Easter since my boys were born that I didnt spend with them let alone see them so that is sad but of course I am grateful we are all safe and well. The pain that so many are going through with loved ones in hospital is hard to contemplate.
Have the best Easter day possible All and look forward to better times.
As long as those we love the most are safe and well we will be just fine.
Stay/get well, stay safe.
5.4 - wrong way round for ideal but it's Easter and I'm a believer so how can I let that get in the way? Suspiciously few other posts from this morning visible - don't think that can be right. @SaskiaKC middle and off is what is known as a guard - the batsman makes a mark on the ground to indicate a point in between where his middle and off stumps are (2 of the 3). This is so he can align his eyes with the direction of the ball as it reaches him. The three stumps are known as leg, middle and off. Middle and off is plain weird - your head would never be balanced. (Leg stump is, I think, favoured by top batsmen. Head would be more level.) Happy Easter even in these circumstances.
@SaskiaKC - love the fun of doing the 'middle and off' thing as a mind game when he steps up to face the bowler, trying to psych the bowler into believing that he's facing an expert of batting precision, causing fear and doubt and thereby putting the bowler off his stride so that the first ball is slower and an easier one to hit well, which will then demoralise the bowler even more
I enjoy Dorothy Leigh Sayers' books, so precise and so whimsical at the same time, with such colourful and varied use of language
