Yesterday I struggled to walk into town with my wife . Later on I took my blood pressure as I felt some niggles . It was 144 over 75 which is very high for me . My cardiologist wants me to have it around 115 . The morning it was back up to 135. Not sure if I have a bug or not .

Just got some very sad news.
Peasemeal is no longer available as the only mill making it appears to have closed down.
Golspie Mill is very old and primitive and was saved from extinction some years ago by an individual prepared to work it but I suppose old age has go to him and nobody else seems to have taken over.
I use it for a breakfast brose when away from home as it is quick and easy and very tasty tho' I do add a touch of fine oatmeal with salt and a knob of butter. Just add boiling water to the dry ingredients, stir vigorously and then eat with milk but that latter is optional and can change.

-8C and clear here, but expecting a bit of snow overnight.

We're around 15C in London today and that's cooler than it's been for a fair while! When the cold arrives it's going to come as a big shock.

Now leaving Leeds station having travelled through yet more grey, damp & misty countryside from York.
Has someone designated grey as the official county colour of Yorkshire?

Still very misty though
Online shopping has been delivered, left security tag on bottle of rum so had to send it back

It's our official welcome for outsiders. We turn it to nice and sunny when you're not here

And if you're at the O2 in Leeds I'm based opposite you

 

[Andy in Germany]

Good morning. If I'm quick I may get a longer commute this morning.

I wasn't, so I didn't.

As horse and carts head along the cobbled streets, dust get thrown in the air. Moisture condenses on this dust overnight, producing a grey uniform look to Yorkshire each morning.

Corona continues to ease, blown nose once and not needed Strepsils for throat this morning. If I can get through to evening without needing either it’ll be a good milestone as I continue to improve.

Walked into town and back this morning to run the errands. Now waiting for today’s heavy rain to turn up, it doesn’t look far off.
