Great spotted woodpecker

Act as if what you do makes a difference. It does.
William James

Highlight of my day was a visit by this Great spotted woodpecker on my feeder. I've never seen it visit the feeder. Boy did it eat! Great thing I had just this morning added new food balls and peanuts. I hope he comes back soon! More pics in Instagram.

I had my specialist visit today. Next I'll meet a dietician (in mid Dec just in time to ban all the Christmas food) and I'll try the FODMAP diet. I have no idea how I'll have the willpower to do that. I have quite rubbish willpower when it comes to sweets and candy and cake and ice cream. I don't mind the food, but the sweets... FODMAP basically limits the diet so strictly that I can't start until I meet with the dietician. If you want to check out the do and don't 's go here. But that's not the whole truth. Some of the items that are FODMAP good are not actually good for you.

I feel a bit doomed at the moment, but hope I'll get over that in a few weeks or so. The dr wanted to a gastric endoscopy and I refused so if the diet does not work that's gonna happen. Perhaps that's motivation enough for me?

So before the dietician visit I'll eat all the candy in the world? :-)
