A 5.6 on the meter this morning.

This Morening I went for a gentle jaunt on my motorcycle, I wanted to test a route out I hope to do next week with a bike riding neighbour, with a stop approximately halfway at the what is becoming a regular haunt. Here is the rather circular route through some nice rolling downland and the Savernake forest.
Tilehurst towers, Streatley, Newbury, Hungerford A4, Froxfield, Durley, Burbage and Choppers cafe on the A338. Very crowded. Then homewards via the A338 through the market town of Hungerford continuing on the A338 north to the market town of Wantage and the town square with King Alfred’s statue then back to Tilehurst Towers on the A417 and A329. Total distance of 91 miles. There is a huge bike meet at Calne this weekend which is not far away and quite a few bikers were calling in at Choppers cafe for a full on fry up on their way to Calne.
I’m posting the route for @jjraak and any others that want to get a map out. Motorbiking roads are generally a nightmare for car drivers.
Well fellow posters and painters stay safe and hopefully attached is a picture of the crowded cafe.View attachment 55688

@gennepher We also have neighbours with deep pockets and interminable works but they are a short distance away so not nearly as great a disturbance Yet another new stray? Amy ? We dont seem to have any here. No Errant replacement waiting in the wings.
@jjraak so pleased to read of your progress. Somehow missed previous mentions of Marley. Is he a stray cat?
Meanwhile MrSlim has bought himself a new cement mixer. I am not sure why the old one was inadequate.... and started on repairing the pointing. This is going to take some weeks and will also be using some noisy equipment. A bit of tit for tat.
Today I plan to finish clearing out the rooms used by our houseguests and possibly some pulling out some unproductive vegetable plants. We also need to book passage to the UK.
Have managed two days out of three normal eating, NOT low carb. Maybe get back to that someday, first need to conquer overeating. I have gained nearly five kilos and am constantly bloated. This is a new experience for me as previously has been difficult to put on weight. Now I have taken to reading and overeating instead of the activity filled life I had before. Motivation is definitely lacking. I can see all the tasks that need doing - but simply can't be bothered.
Has anyone ideas as to how to get back to normal for me?
I hear that, @Krystyna23040A surprising 4.9 this morning. Pancreas and liver coped really well with the 2 scoops of ice cream yesterday. Have decided that a very occasional treat is OK. This is the only thread I would dare to admit this.
Family are leaving later today. It has been a lovely visit.
Good afternoon ladies and gentlemen and those who played hopscotch as a child and maybe still do.

Yes, you are right that the majority of members are not over-zealous. This thread is a special thread as it is so kind and supportive.I hear that, @Krystyna23040
It does feel less restricted on here, and I hope more accepting that we lapse sometimes
I do believe majority of members see that in the same light.
But like any group, some are, let's say, more zealous... about those why may cross some imaginary line...
Personally I see this way of eating being better for ME
If others see it the same way, great.
But for anyone, myself included, who does or has gone off piste,
at whatever point they return to LCHF, then THAT is ONE day more they have improved their diabetic health, imho.
It's not a sin to fail, god knows I have,
So why would be hard on those who do occasionally.?
Let's not look down on anyone, UNLESS it's when we are offering them a helping hand up.
That's my belief.
Lets keeps people going with helpful advice, not shaming or driving them away.
And as I say, I suspect the vast majority think similar.
Great about the rain!Good morning everyone from under the deluge that has appeared over the dark and dangerous north. So, cars washed and garden watered before we even start. No idea what we will be doing today but yesterday was a walk through the woods and down to The Ship - got in before the crowds and had a light lunch of sea food and salad. Art for today, the start of not so much a tree, rather a local branch. Stay well, enjoy your Sunday. I am waiting for my koffy to brew.

Thanks IanHello everyone from the newly (rain) watered Breckland/Fenland border. No deluge but just enough to lay the dust for a morning. An early(ish) morning happy 4th birthday video call with a super excited granddaughter enjoying breakfast in her new (2 day) home before her big day out at Legoland. Later we are off to celebrate Wednesday's first birthday of our youngest grandchild, 2nd grandson. Nonagenarian MIL will be with us so thanks be to God and the NHS after both were fighting for their lives last September. Football needs to be recorded and scores kept secret. @gennepher thanks for sharing the wonderful kaleidoscope and tale of Little Miss. @Krystyna23040 hug for missing your family and the tender idea of Archie gently crossing the rainbow bridge. @dunelm thanks for the art and your day yesterday sounds splendid. @jjraak I also think this thread is very supportive so thanks to Harrison/AlienAspie for starting this.I hope he is well. In the spirit of sharing I had a whole 36 gms of Häagen-Dazs chocolate drizzle Gelato (8 gms carb I think) from a tub idly lying around in a freezer then later a shop bought stuffed mushroom containing ciabatta, another 6/7 gms carb. Have a great day, especially those Lionesses. Sweet Caroline on loop,later?
