The David Unwin view that all swans are white helps me there. If LC is all we need why do many of us still feel the need for and enjoy the taste of sweeter or carby things? Why make people who *genuinely "need" something sweet or carby feel they are wrong? Some people really lack awareness or are so convinced of their own infallibility.I do agree @ianpspurs. I have sometimes noticed that I get cravings for inulin and I am sure that it is the sweetness that I crave.
@gennepher I do hope that you can get your sat nav sorted. I also leave mine on because of the frequent detours due to roadworksFbg 6.9
My car's Sat Nav went doolally yesterday morning. It worked fine to the local shops. I don't use it as such, but I leave it always on because we get a lots of roadworks detours round here, and this means I can glance at the visual map in front of me, and know know instantly I can take a better route for me.
However, coming home from the shops the Sat Nav screen was black, this has Sat Nav and other of the car's functions on it. It has been very cold so, I thought it was having a little hiccup and would right itself.
Ah, good I thought when it decided to hiccup itself back into life. But when it finally lit up properly, and the Sat Nav came on, the little red arrow which normally stays on the road you are driving on had gone completely bananas.
It was not on the road at all, but the red arrow was wandering through parkland, meadowland, through houses, wandering up streams, and wandered away from the road I perceived I was driving on.
I tried to turn the Sat Nav off, but the screen was not responsive.
I was transfixed watching it. I was experiencing dissonance with the red arrow showing me where it thinks my car is driving, and me driving on a hard tarmac road 'knowing' that I am driving the correct route home.
I am driving up a hill by now. At least that is my perception of my route home. But then the red arrow turns around and wanders here and there towards the river. Then the red arrow takes a left turn and it's going up on the railway line. My brain goes OMG you're going to meet the Holyhead train. But before that disaster happens, the red arrow does a sharp right and aims for the river. And accordingly to my Sat Nav I am now driving on water now...
According to my visual perception of things, I am still on a hard road, and have got to the top of my hill, and am turning right into my road. It is very disconcerting positioning my car so that I can back into my driveway, because the red arrow on the Sat Nav is still showing me doing a 3 point turn on the river.
I turn the engine off, wait a few minutes, then turn it on again. The red arrow is still not where I perceive my car to be. I move forward a few feet, and then the Sat Nav red arrow does a right turn, wanders through a hawthorn hedge, and into the ancient meadowlands at the end of my road...
I turn the engine off, tentatively put one foot outside the car, because my brain is considering alternative universes by now...
I have no idea if there is a malfunction yet or a magnetic disturbance which surely would affect the sat nav and directional arrow. My internet is playing up a lot as well.
And I am thinking of cars controlled by computers or self driving cars. I think human error over computer error would have a greater safety aspect to it...
I googled my car's Sat Nav, but it is an integral part of the car. So, I cannot do a reset myself.
I have checked on my car this morning. It is still in my driveway (I did wonder when I looked out of the window). I turned the engine on. The Sat Nav screen came on, and the red arrow was not in what I perceive to be my driveway by my bungalow. It was still wandering around the pond in the ancient meadowlands. I have no idea what this car has been up to in the night.
It took me over 3 hours in the early hours this morning to figure out how to do this morning's 'painting'.
So here is a representation of yesterday's adventures with the red arrow on the Sat Nav parking me on water...

Yes, that makes sense @Krystyna23040@gennepher I do hope that you can get your sat nav sorted. I also leave mine on because of the frequent detours due to roadworks
I agree @ianpspurs . I really love the sweetness of my breakfast (flaxseeds and coconut flakes mixed with kefir and sweetened with quite a lot of inulin and topped with Greek yogurt, berries and flaked almonds. I always make sure that the berries include strawberries as I really love the sweetness of strawberries.The David Unwin view that all swans are white helps me there. If LC is all we need why do many of us still feel the need for and enjoy the taste of sweeter or carby things? Why make people who genuinely "need" something sweet or carby feel they are wrong?

Oh I missed this somehow and what a great day for you all, especially Archie - have a bit of Lou Reed.Today was a perfect day. We went to the Vet so the dogs could have their annual vaccines.
While there the head Vet checked out Archie's lump on his neck that was diagnosed as cancer by one of the younger vets. The head Vet said that it is definitely not cancer but is a papilloma - basically a viral wart. We are so happy to get this good news. He also said that Archie was amazingly fit for a Labrador who is nearly 15½ years old.
We then went on to have a lovely meal out in a dog friendly pub. The sea bass was delicious and so was the coffee. So a truly perfect day.
Thank you @dunelm . That is one of my favourite songs. I hadn't heard the Lou Reed version before but have a copy of the Kirsty MacColl version that I often play.Oh I missed this somehow and what a great day for you all, especially Archie - have a bit of Lou Reed.
Yes @ianpspurs I also like the BBC version.
Hope you have a better nights sleep tonight. Probably not a good idea to watch the night stalker before bed.Morning all,
6am fbg was 5.7
Woke up multiple times last night, maybe I shouldn't watch series killer documentaries before bed lol was watching the night stalker on Netflix
Hope everyone has a wonderful day
Hope the plumber arrived @dunelmGood morning everyone from under a red sky in the morning start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north
It’s girl in the bubble week for us. Other grandparents are away so we get all the fun. The film ‘Frozen’ seems to be flavour of the week after parents introduced her to it last weekend. Art - she seems to prefer highlighters (weirdo) so we did flowers and mummy and daddy - mummy likes to have tea and a crumpet at work - who knew! Managed 5 miles over the course of the day - furthest that I have managed since damaging my spine in November. Plumber today - allegedly and will be here at 8.30 - allegedly. We live in hope.
Artwork today - not sure I overdid it sizing this sheet of paper but it adds a tinge to the thing. A cliff (without the summer Holliday) with some trees atop. Have the best day that you can, it will soon be bin day. Nearly time for a koffy.
