Thank you very much @Muddy Cyclist
I need to start something today, even if I only get the table clear and paints and paper on it...
Thank you very much @Muddy CyclistThat's a really good winter scene, you have caught the feel of cold, whiteout days brilliantly. A good piece of art.
Like you I am behind with my cards. I did have a design in mind but have lost it in the depths of memories so frustrating should have made a sketch.
I had this issue and although I drink lots of water and have ground flaxseeds, hemp seeds and inulin every day it wasn't improving it. I was getting desperate so about 3 weeks ago I started taking one tsp of ground psyllium husks in a cup of water twice a day with meals and it worked like magic.I think (hope) it is only thing left to try to help shift things along as this is still a painful issue and becoming really inhibiting now. It hasn't mattered during lockdown but it cannot continue like this.
I remember when this all started when I made the switch to SR Metformin...while I was in a tournament in the US of all places.I had this issue and although I drink lots of water and have ground flaxseeds, hemp seeds and inulin every day it wasn't improving it.

I let it stand in the water for 5 or 10 minutes so it starts to go a bit jelly like and then I drink it. I don't find it horrible at all which is good because I will need to take it long term as nothing else I have tried has worked.
Hi and welcome @Humble Bee7.1 this morning. Not diagnosed yet, waiting on blood tests, but blood glucose rarely below 6, and goes up to 15 when I eat pasta. So fatigued all the time, which interferes with work.
Feeling pretty rubbish, and concerned, especially about how I pass out after dinner.
Glad I found this thread, cheered me up some this morning.
Fingers crossed that it works for you. I take it in a glass or cup of water because a client of mine upped her fibre without upping water and it made things much much worse and I definitely didn't want to make things any worse than they were.I remember when this all started when I made the switch to SR Metformin...while I was in a tournament in the US of all places.
I take a fybogel most days but I do have psyllium husk that I got for making keto bread rolls so thank you I will give that a try.

Good idea your mum has re posting back the bumf think I might give it a gogood afternoon all
4.4 this morning
it's blowing rather briskly outside today so I've been sorting out some of my recently unearthed winter weight stuff. I started small with good intentions then it sort of escalated until I had to keep going if I ever wanted to be able to get into bed
Cold callers are the pits! They're annoying when they immediately hang up after you've galloped across the house to grab the phone, equally annoying if they don't hang up and waste your time.
Mind you, we did get three instant hang up calls last week, I was annoyed enough to check the number online to see who it was, turned out it was automated bot. reminder calls from the Health Board for the flu jab appointments
Mum doesn't like the amount of waste for all the unsolicited advertising bumph she keeps getting. so she deals with it by sealing up the freepost reply envelopes and posting them back so it costs them for the postage
Hope your day is treating you kindly
@gennepher - I agree that doing intricate black and white is quite therapeutic, also that it's hard on the hands nowadaysI got a pack of 5 cheap kids pencils from Home Bargains, each one had a rubbery padded pencil grip on it so I have taken them off and can use them on my drawing pencils
I like both versions of your art today, perhaps the more monocrome one has the edge, it's very atmospheric
@lindisfel - some lovely scenery today, I hope your scan visit goes smoothly
@dunelm - interesting spatter patterns, it's worked out very harmoniously
@ianpspurs - I could probably eat that cabbage casserole, as a side dish
@Muddy Cyclist - hope your tidying up ends goes apace
art bit - thought I'd have a bash at the craggy rocksthis was based on a photo I saw on the net (from memory I think it was of somewhere in China)

Beautiful photos and yes Covid doesn't affect people the same I had flu like aches no cough no tempor sore throat etc but did lose my sense of taste and smell .Had a walk down road again this am and chatted with a farmer walking his dog whose wife had Covid but he didnt get it because he was undergoing urgent surgery in hospital..
She just had the cough and no temperature and didn't lose taste but tested positive.
The river had dropped and the skies are blue today.
Zoom church a bit frustrating due their technical issues.
He are a few pics from yesterday.
I thought one of my neighbours hedges was colourful.

Lichen makes nice pattern on walls in relatively unpolluted Cumbria.
The wife of the dog belonging to @lindisfel's farmer friend actually caught COVID if one reads carefullyBeautiful photos and yes Covid doesn't affect people the same I had flu like aches no cough no tempor sore throat etc but did lose my sense of taste and smell .
I always thought bumf was a contraction for bum fodder?Good idea your mum has re posting back the bumf think I might give it a goI nearly wrote bum instead of bumf it's all this talk of constipation lol
