oh i agree and when ii had the big hole i was on a high protein diet however at this time my body can't cope with protein it's seizing up all my joints from the purines in the protein....howwver on a happier note i#ve been blissing out on boiled egg with bread and butter a joy i hadn't had for about 6 months or so bread and butter is better than most drugs

Pork therapy sounds just the thing! We'll have you in crackling good health in no time

Bacon, egg and sausage every morning for breakfast. Ham for lunch. Roast pork for dinner

I got so overheated during this afternoons match that I had to eat ice lollies. So I'm having a glass of cider! [Forgot to mention the restaurant/shop/undertakers etc is also a pub and music venue, actually its first inception].

pork porn phwoar look at the protein on that
bacon and egg dammit i knew there was something i forgot to buy for pig week!!!

Glad you had such a lovely time Planets. X

Posted a few of my old Local history Unit pen and ink drawings on Dogs (got my brother to take some rushed photos of the small photocopies of the originals so a lot of the detail is missing unfortunately - I could not take any better ones because my phone is so ancient).

I reconstructed the buildings in '95 from old photos and documents as voluntary work that summer.

Just thought people might be interested but wish they were bigger and clearer.

That is verging on Flann O'Brien territory!!!

they look really good Keyser are yu inspired to get into drawing again?

If you're still having trouble with your teeth there's always pate!

Actually if your doctors say back on the lettuce and strawberries, give us his name and address. We'll go en masse and give him a sorting out. I'll take my trusty black pudding and An can take her salami sabre. I feel sure tk has a saveloy or two she could belabour him with

Certainly it's taking multi tasking to new levels

Not at the moment going through a bit of a rough patch but who know what the future might hold?

They were the only time I ever used ink and reconstructed buildings - I prefer natural subjects in pencil charcoal or paint. That was almost the last time I drew anything - hard to believe really time goes so fast!

Have a lovely week everybody and sorry for invading this thread but it's good to see people having good news on here. X

oh well i forgot there has been some good news (don't faint!) i finally got my teeth sorted!! HOOORAH! cost a bloody fortune but *touches wood crosses fingers* am back in the land of the toothy grin again

it was only a temporary interlude (it's back to protein free on monday after bloods) but i would laugh like a drain if all this pigging out (geddit?!!) suddenly made my bloods all healthy again!

I would give the drawing a go Keyser. The creative outlets i had making the jewellery knitting and photography kept me sane all through those endless months confined to hospital.
Karl Jung said the best cure for depression was to surround oneself with beauty. Planets says: sometimes the world doesn't seem all that beautiful at first glance so you have to put the effort in to find the beauty and if necessary create the beauty yourself. I think you would find drawing a flower or something soul food....give it a go i know it can be hard to start but no one has to know and if it goes wrong bin it and start another! good luck!

Thanks Planets. XXX

Invade it any time you like Keyser.....always good to have some more folks in, especially pals of planets


OH MY GOD you have teeth This is fantastic news. All we need now is porcine bloods and you'll be fixed in no time

Actually, surely if a surfeit of meat was bad for you, after all this time since lunch would you not be feeling a bit poorly? You aren't posting like a poorly person

I think the problem is with depression that you don't perceive the beauty any more. I've never suffered from it myself, but my late partner did to a terrible degree and often he could find pleasure in nothing. I'd say let go, step back, look at it a different way....and then sometimes I'd see the light come back into his eyes, at least for a short time.

Thank you.

but when he was flooded last Christmas the whole community came out to support him/carry out soaked rubbish from his shop.

oh yes i know that, but i also know fro experience, if you make a determined effort it's there whether it's in a tiny flower growing out of concrete or a bee landing on a flower for a nosh or a kind gesture there is infinite beauty around us but sometimes you have to actively look for it rather than wait for it to come to you. For some beauty can be a perfectly rolled cigarette or the perfect cup of tea it sounds like hippy bullshit but when you start actively looking for the good stuff you see more of it than you thought there was. I'm convinced that it was this actively seeking the positive that kept me alive when everyone thought i was a goner. Even at my illest the nurses in hospital would fight over who was going to do my dressing changes with all the attendant horror and gore because they were the "most fun" laugh it up with planets's hole

awh that's lovely though isn't it? that's proper community spirit.
i can't remember the name of the books but i loved Flann O'Brien there was one where the pig lived in the house by the fire seems the correct author for this conversation!

love you all, going to enjoy my glass of cider xxx

night tk xx you're so healthy it must count as one of your five a day

You're very welcome!


Hey, you are speaking to the arch hippie of all time here I stand transfixed by dew drops on spider's webs and am amazed at the delicate beauty of discarded feathers lying on the grass.....I'm so grateful for this as I am sure it is why I rise above all the grimmer stuff of life. Like yourself...although I've never personally experienced anything even close to what you have It's that ability to see beauty in practically everything. We should bottle it and sell it, we'd be millionaires

Och, bless your heart, enjoy it and have a good night xxx

I knew you'd understand!!!

So this new religion of ours, meditating on the beauty around us whilst eating a roast pork sandwich? i can't see how we are not onto a winner with this Twass we'll have our own island in no time

oh bugger i got so into our conversation i totally missed Poldark just need to pop off to the iplayer and see if he smoulders this week whilst taking an unnecessary ride along the cliff tops...
