[QUOTE="gennepher, post: 2557796, member: 238814"] Fbg 6.5 From my trail camera in the night. Cat, Midnight, is watching the foxes. There are a lot of fox eyes in the bushes keeping an eye on that cat. The first half of video is from one trail camera, the second half is from the the camera on the other end of the swing. [MEDIA=youtube]-zHzYvJ02ss[/MEDIA] On another issue - food. Does anyone else have an issue with rapeseed oil? I had a list of foods and products which were safe to eat with my diabetes. But now, bit by bit over the past few months I started having a bad tummy reaction to some foods I was safe with before. This was getting worse. Then it got ridiculous. There have been notices outside some shops here,saying that certain products now have different oils than that stated on them, because of the shortage of sunflower oil. But the notice also said, not to worry because you wouldn't be allergic to them, and a few other things. You would be safe eating the products with the replacement oils. A little lightbulb came on in my head. Is this what is making me ill? Experimenting. Writing down what foods were making me ill. But I found one brand of food was fine, but not another brand.

I find it relaxing putting these leaves on with the Snowgum brushstroke. Have a good day. Time for a cuppa [ATTACH type="full" alt="01F9755C-4325-4481-86AC-023EE04925EB.jpeg"]57376[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
