Like the finished sketch @dunelmGood morning everyone from a breezy and overcast start here in the dark and dangerous north. 5.6 this am. A peasant day yesterday and the grandchildren enjoyed their day out to a local farm. Off to the park in a wee while and then it’s swimming after lunch. I need to dig out some paints and brushes for some rock/stones painting this evening - it’s all go. Art bit - details added so I guess a bit of colour next. Hope your day is kind to you. I need to have a meeting with my lower back and left leg but first, some koffy.

I have plantar fasciitis @AnnbJust spoke to the GP. She thinks it sounds like plantar fasciitis and that apparently can travel up into the legs! Never knew that. Anyway, she says to self-refer to the podiatry department at the hospital. Meantime try not to take so many painkillers! Just phoned the podiatry department and they will send out a form for me to self-refer and when they get that back, they'll think about an appointment. It will have cured itself by the time I get to actually see someone about it (there's optimistic for you).
Thank you very much Ian@gennepher thank you for sharing another amazing creative. No wonder your friends are happy with the postcards. @dunelm thanks for sharing the added detail. I look forward to seeing the transformation when colour is added. @Annb slow progress but progress nonetheless.
I had support insoles last time i had PF but couldn't wear them - I have very low arches (Neil is the same) and can't bear fitted or shaped insoles - could never even wear trousers with "stirrups" - don't know if you remember them.I have plantar fasciitis @Annb
Podiatry gave me special support insoles for my shoes.
I need to wear them or my legs are agony.
So, it might be quite a simple solution for you.
Ah...I had support insoles last time i had PF but couldn't wear them - I have very low arches (Neil is the same) and can't bear fitted or shaped insoles - could never even wear trousers with "stirrups" - don't know if you remember them.
I hope the check is trauma free, for all concerned, and nothing is found as it were.Good Morening
Blood sugars yesterday were 5.8
This morning were 6.3
Sorry no uplifting words of wisdom! Comments on woke or religious zealots today. My head is due for a major diagnostic check and possibly a reset to factory setting, but first a koffy and a bacon sarnie.
Whenever and wherever.

Look forward to the colour....

Being interested in landforms I keep asking myself, when will he put in a river in the valley bottom and it then it may have shades of Coleridge's Kublai Khan?Good morning everyone on a bright and breezy sunny start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. I don’t think that sunshine will be apparent for long but blood sugars bounced in below 6 so all is well - well, for that quick snapshot in time at least. I can hear stirrings from up above. No, don’t get excited, it’s not a remake of Good Omens. Rather the stirrings of the Ninky Nonks. It will soon be all hands to the breakfast table. I think we are off to a museum this morning. They have lots of activities for children to take part in and the cafe is pretty good. If this sunshine holds mind, we may get down onto the beach. Stone painting yesterday went swimmingly and was carried out in line with the daily plan - before lunch and not after the afternoon swimming. Still, no plan survives the first shot - perhaps our so called leaders should read Sun Tzu or Clausewitz? Maybe they have and then promptly disregarded any useful nuggets. Until recently I thought the word woke meant that there would soon be bacon and eggs - never mind. Art bit, colour. Hope your day gives you at least one hug and smile. I need to make koffy and lay the breakfast table.

Interesting read about keeping your blood sugars in check. A short eating window does suit some people. Lovely art and hope you can dig out that little tub of wax. I found a pipette yesterday - been looking for it for ages. Seems that I had been using it to blend whisky as it was in amongst the bottles - hic!Fbg 6.6
Pleased with that figure. I managed to get my second/last meal of the day cooked by 3 pm, although I like ideally to have eaten it by 3pm and then my fasting blood glucose comes into the 6's. But sometimes I get involved in doing something and it may be an hour or so later before I eat it - when I do that, then my fasting blood glucose is upper 6's or 7.1. My actual breakfast might be 20 hours later the next day. And in this way, I can keep my blood sugar readings in the 6's all day. If I eat in a longer window, my blood glucose readings might be in the 7's or 8's even during the day. I need, at least at the moment to strictly keep my eating window between around 11 am and 3 pm. Maybe that will change as time goes on for me.
This is just to let you know my personal diabetic journey.
Wild life cameras.
Unruly Badger family wrecking my mats - Cat Midnight keeps his distance.
These mats are down for my safety because this area doesn't get sun for most of the year and the ground is very slippery. I think the worms curl up in the holes...

I don't know what happened with Midnight the other night, but he seems to have had a bit of trauma in the garden. I am assuming badgers. Nothing was on camera. But he has been very jumpy, and hardly going outside, spending a lot of time indoors. But he still has this pull to be outdoors. Last night, he had been inside all day, but went out at dusk and wouldn't come in, he wanted to come in but was waiting for something. Each time I carried him in he rushed outside again. So I stayed at the door waiting to see what it was he appeared to urgently need to be outside for. Finally his ears pricked up. It was what he was waiting for. I was apprehensive, but it was cat Jade who came out of the shadows and bushes. It was as if Midnight had been anxious for Jade. He leapt off the swing and they both nosed each other in a long greeting. I have not seen that kind of affection before between them. I fed Jade some wet food. Midnight was happy with that and finally came in for the night, but he went out a few times, to toilet or whatever.
if Midnight had met too many badgers at once trying to come down the passage to the kitchen door cat flap, there might have been a ruckus in the night. The sooner these little (not so little now) badgers leave home and I just get one badger most nights then the better. Mr Google tells me the teenage badgers leave home in Autumn to make their own way in life. Hurry up and leave home....
I check my garden daily for any new tunnels...
Creative - these cheap inks again, and I like the softer colours of these. Now, the only problem I have is that these inks are water soluble, and to post them might mean a blurry mess arrives at the recipient. Easy answer is that some people ask for you to send the postcard in an envelope because they don't want any damage on the postcard. Other people say is the damage and the scrapings on the picture side of the parcel is part and parcel of receiving postcards. I subscribe to the latter. However I do have some special wax in a tiny tub (which I rubbed on my encaustic paintings to keep them supple) and this doubles up as a protective waterproof cover to the watercolour paintings. I am not sure where I have put that little tub, but it is somewhere! It only needs the tiniest amount to rub in, so it goes a long way.
Very windy out there. Raining.
I need another coffee and a quick nap...
Have your best kind of day.
