Landscaping

A bit blowy outside for the next twenty four hours. Someone called Kathleen is to blame so we’re told. Naughty girl. Time for Mrs Spank to take a quick sharp visit to bottyland methinks.

Well, we’ve had a bit of landscaping done. A piece of ground not far from the back door has been reworked into about eight new parking spaces and usable garden space. Mrs S’s amused comment was; “We’ve got a Doctors car park” Nothing too fancy, just compressed gravel, which, we are told, needs a couple of weeks to ‘settle’ before we can park on it. So it’s fenced off for the moment. As is our little domicile. Drawbridge up, portcullis down, minefield and Piranha tank activated.

Today I have elected to get out there in the wind and wet to sow some herb seeds. Nothing fancy, just Rosemary, Sage, Thyme, Chervil, Parsley and Clover. I may shift a few rocks as well for the new rockeries. Then there’s a bit of property maintenance, one of the grey water drains needs re-routing into the grey water septic system. Lots to do.

Weight loss continues with this carnivore diet. Upside; I’m starting to look at a whole new wardrobe. Downside, that might get a teeny bit expensive. I do have some older clothing that I can use that I have manfully resisted having thrown out by Mrs S. Also on the topic of meat eating, there’s increasing evidence of benefits. Not merely winding back diabetes 2 and pre-diabetic symptoms. This lady below claims she has full remission from Multiple Sclerosis.

Now I’ve been aware of the benefits of a low-carbohydrate regimen, as before insulin, the old treatment was a low carbohydrate diet, which worked. This carnivore diet by contrast, is a revelation. As for all the claims that it causes strokes or heart attacks, there’s increasing evidence that seed oils and deep fried food have more influence on those negative outcomes. Dr Paul Mason, an Australian researcher, explains the science below.

As always, do your own research and make your own mind up. Notwithstanding I am going to use my new-found energy and recovered strength to do a bit of landscaping work.
