Madame Escargot

My ankle bruise is coming on nicely now. Sorry to say that my photo skills are not. How do folks manage with a camera phone??? Anyway, and to be fair, the outside of one’s own left ankle? It’s a tricky shot! I was surprised to see how swollen it is. Hadn’t noticed until now. At least the strapping is off and I can stroll around site without it. Wouldn’t tackle a hike yet, so stayed home waiting for Chloé whilst Nell and Mr Snail went up the coastal path this morning. #wp #injury

That’s the last of the Zero tonic. It will be carbs all the way after this, I fear. If we cannot replenish we may be tempted by the Summer Wine… Not sure that comes in a low carb version! Chloé is still missing. Dusty may need a vet, he seems to have been bitten on his elbow. Feeling sorry for himself or possibly just missing Chloé, it is difficult to tell. He is dozing a lot but is eating and washing so we are not overly concerned yet. No visible abscess, but swollen and sore and scabbed. Keeping an eye on him for now. Seems hotter than ever today, hence the soft drinks (no gin) and possibly a visible bare torso in this shot. I can’t tell, the sun is too bright to be able to see my phone very well. Camera team on site today, stills and video. I have been hiding and tackling cleaning tasks in the van. #wp #0carbs #sunsunsun

Keto Meat Pie, rescued from the freezer at home and reheated in the Air Fryer on site. Salad and mayo to go with. Quick and tasty but requires EHU, though works on 6 amps. Yes, the sweetcorn is a bit carby but these pie servings are only 1/8th instead of 1/6th plus the tins of corn are minuscule.. so I claim immunity… Oddly, the corn is Spanish – bought here in a pack of three last winter and this was the last can. Luckily I may now visit Mercadona and purchase a new pack. #wp #gastrovanners #gastrovanner #keto #low carb

Topping up my tan today. Not sure that I have what it takes for this life of sitting in the sun. We now have the comfy chairs but honestly…it is boring. I don’t know how folks do it. We see them, chairs out at breakfast and they just sit there all day. I would go mad… Been out and done 8k steps with the dog earlier and already feeling twitchy and needing to wander off again. However, today is deliberately marked as downtime. We will be eating at the restaurant tonight. I have washed up but that is the sum extent of today for me. Just sitting drinking “Not Pastis” in the sun. (No alcohol is essential for me when the weather is hot) (I need a good low carb alternative to booze and this is it) Where’s my knitting? #wp #Spain #sun #bored #0carbs
