Blimey your Environmental Footprint sounds worse than mine, I thought I had worries about the future of my Wood Burner Stove.Good Afternoon Ladies and Gentlemen.
1st. Many thanks for all kind thoughts and best wishes for yesterday's trip to the hospital, a raft of blood tests and an ultrasound scan are required.
The local hospital and my transplant hospital are changing the way things are done and it sounds very much like joined up thinking has at last been applied and I hope this new system works.
Bloods this morning were 6.8, that meter is well, best not say to much.
Yesterday evening I analysed my eating patterns and the conclusion was I'm mostly vegan ( shock horror ).
Let me explain
Most of my meal is composed of vegetables say 70%, then the balance is protein with a little gravy.
The upshot of this horrendous conclusion is I'm damaging the environment with vegetation generated flatulence and causing farm animals to starve by eating their fodder.
Should I go back to eating processed foods irrespective of the damage to my health?
Your thoughts would be appreciated.
Glad shopping and recycle worked well @geefullgood evening all
4.2 today
shopping day and it was a suprisingly quiet start todayplus Scotland still mandates mask wearing so that's quite reassuring.
blue bin has been emptied so our small recycling items are trundling away to wherever they end up
Large recycling we take to the centre in the nearby town and have the satisfaction of chucking bits of scrap metal noisily into skips etc.(I know, I know - 'little things amuse little minds' )
Hope your day is treating you well
@alf_Josiah - hope your clinic visit went as well as you could wish
@lindisfel - what a fantastic pair of photos, beautiful skies
@Muddy Cyclist - what a sorry disappointmentI hope something effective can be set up soon.
@gennepher - a lovely painting today (with or without autowriting), It's very fluid and I especially like the colours you brought into the foreground
@dunelm - another little gem, those cool receding hills are lovely
art bit - thank you for your kind comments on yesterday's art, I do like the Hahnemuhle paper even if it needs a different way of workingthe exercise will do me good
ok, now I want to try some Rizla paper in a collage
no paper info. today for my peony paintingbecause I forgot to make a note of the details

It is looking good @Muddy Cyclist ...Art from me at last...
Based on my rides on Cannock Chase, the Larch are glowing with new needles, beautiful and I'm not doing it the majesty it deserves. Next step, background darker and left tree brought forward.
A4 watercolour, will finish Thursday as it's a promising a wet day here....

You probably get energy from the actual 'physical nearness' of the people in the class, being around people seems to give one some kind of higher vibration, that you cannot get from a computer screen @Krystyna23040Classes really went well yesterday. Did 7 hours of teaching at my local venues. Not as tiring as teaching on Zoom - which was quite surprising.
Today back on Zoom as not starting back at Norwich venue until June.
Signed up for super fast broadband today. At the moment it is fibre to the cabinet and copper wire to the house but now, at last, we can get fibre directly to the house. Can't wait as it means the end of waiting for some of my larger documents full of images to open from the cloud.
Speed will be 150mbps. I will be supersonic.
This is an amazing set of rocks today @dunelmGood morning everyone on a day of mixed messages on the sun/rain balance here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of chicken diners came in at 5.1 this am
Zoom call last night - Patient Practice Group - another 600 invited for Jabs on Saturday, including Mrs Miggins and myself. Talk about Flu jabs and Covid booster jabs in the autumn and also moving back to a normalised practice. Our surgery was doing telephone triage well before the pandemic so will be continuing in some cases. Lots of insight about NHS England and the roll out. I am sworn to secrecy until it all gets leaked and auctioned off by the the man from Barnard Hassle.
A new branch of Hard Rock Cafe is due to open in Newcastle - woopee! We went to one in NY and then another in SF and a third in London - blooming heck, they are all the same - no. Koffy is OK but that’s about it if you are looking for minimum carbs.
Tracks and trains being run by a govt body? Surely not - how would that work? Wonder if it will be called ‘Great British Railways”?
Another few rocks today. The background refused to cooperate - Ah well, the carpet fitter will be here this morning to make banging noises. Koffy.

Thanks @lindisfelOnce again I am reminded of Iceland and the mountain belching red hot lava hundreds of feet into the air.

A mountain next.. Tryfan as I have been asked to paint it at Sunrise but with the Heather Terrace included.
I think you are right @gennepher . It felt completely different from teaching on Zoom and I did feel much more energy in the room - which I don't feel while teaching on Zoom.You probably get energy from the actual 'physical nearness' of the people in the class, being around people seems to give one some kind of higher vibration, that you cannot get from a computer screen @Krystyna23040
Lovely Larch in new light coats. I like how light they are standing on those root structures. Looking forward to Tryfan and wondering from which viewpoint it will be.Finished my Larch Tree in Spring light painting. A4 watercolour.....
