A grand old Mr Broc caught in the moment of surprise ,you have captured him so well. I think much better than with your camera, lots of action, the bemused look and cover of darkness.Fbg 6.5
Cat was being pestiferous this morning...
He had wanted hugging all night. So, I did what he wanted. Each time I woke up he was peacefully asleep in my arms, so much so that I ended up waking him up a few times, just to check...
Anyway, I get up at 4am, do the usual, fbg and sweep floors and make a couple of cuppas (I always have a mug of tea and a mug of coffee!).
Get back in bed. Cat then becomes pestiferous. I say no, he has to wait. I need to drink my cuppas. At that moment I notice a badger outside my bedroom door (my bedroom door is fully glass from top to bottom and opens outwards into my garden). I am trying to put my cuppa down. I am trying to grab my phone. Cat is head butting me. He is saying you can't use your phone. I am watching the badger, a full grown one watching the antics of a cat and a human inside a glass cage. Badger is so inquisitive, looking at us in astonishment. Cat butts my phone and sends it flying. I have cat in armlock which he gets out of in seconds. I retrieve my phone. Try to get camera up and running. Cat butts phone again. Badger turns round and glides off into the darkness. I put phone down. Cat looks at me, ah that's better he says. Stroke me now, cat suggests. Absolutely blinking not, says I.
This is my best attempt at the inquisitive badger, because cat said no iPads either. So this digital painting in Procreate is a wrestling job between me and cat.
Cat Popeye has a thing about badgers. He takes them on if he sees them on his property. Many years ago he shot in like a bullet through the cat flap and went to the front room window and looked out. I followed him. A moment later, literally flying through the air, hurling himself against the large window, was an enormous badger. The window reverberated. I look in horror. Popeye looks at me, it's all right he says, the window will protect us. I don't have that faith when the badger is hurling himself for a second time. Popeye can take his chances. I shot off into bedroom and shut the door firmly. A short while later I tentatively emerge, expecting to find a badger roaming my front room. But Popeye is still sitting calmly on the window ledge with an I told you it would be all right expression.
Here is my rough attempt at a badger...in Procreate....

Thank.you - am definitely 'on.the mend" and feeling a lot better this morning.so glad you're still relatively in one piece and I hope it will heal quickly
Thank you. I definitely feel much less shaken this morning and had a really good nights sleep.Ouch, what a nightmare and a fright. I do hope you are mending well and feeling less shaken now.
Would it work if I carved my name on the stairs?Life can be like that, only Baldrick could protect himself by carving his name on a bullet.
I believe I have been fortunate in life, whereas my parents were not.

That is a surprising reading for such a low carb day but working out why is probably an unsolvable mystery.Good Morning and 7.5 for me today. Cheese Omelette and salad for dinner last night and Smoked Salmon Salad for lunch and no snacks so can't explain that high number. Some strange dreams of the fright type so must be those.
Cousin popping around later for a cuppa in garden so hope it warms up.
Keep safe make the most of the day.
Glad you are feeling better but Mr K is very sensible - baby steps for now. Naiman makes as much sense as anyone to me but I know nothing anyhow. There are a few other high(er) protein advocates.6.0 this morning. Mr K is dog walking. I wanted to go also as I feel so much better today but Mr K is adamant that I need to rest. I tried arguing but knew he was right and that resting today is probably a good idea.
@ianpspurs have started listening to the Ted Naiman video on protein. What he says makes so much sense and am looking forward to listening to the rest of it.
Do take care Mrs - sorry to hear of your fall and hospital visit x6.0 this morning. Mr K is dog walking. I wanted to go also as I feel so much better today but Mr K is adamant that I need to rest. I tried arguing but knew he was right and that resting today is probably a good idea.

Do take it easy after your appointment - hope you have a speedy recovery xThank you @geefull
Appointment was very tiring, but went very well.
It will be a few days to recover and plot another adventure...
I love peonies, and yours is a beautiful one.
Wonderful badger - swirling out of and back into the darkness - great movement, smashing facial expression.Fbg 6.5

Thank you for this information on higher protein.@Krystyna23040 this may be of interest re higher protein.I've forgotten the guy who seems to be the daddy of this idea. Tall, lean American with a fine moustache from memory. Stephen Phinney Jeff VolekThese two may also help: reference body weight/protein and this
Thank you. I am actually feeling loads better today.Do take it easy after your appointment - hope you have a speedy recovery x
