Is it a bit wet in your parish?

Carb loading for my race in Saturday!!

All the best for your run.
I tried carbo loading a few times, there was a depletion phase before loading which could make you feel dreadful. Then there was research that said the depletion phase wasn’t necessary. I used to have a couple of pints of Guinness the night before a race as I felt it relaxed me and help me sleep.

I wonder if it's people wanting an emotional uplift in what's currently depressing news.



SWMBO mentioned getting the Christmas lights put out at the weekend. She was told emphatically "no". 1st December, at the earliest.

So not quite SWMBO?

I’ve had a sore throat, then bunged up joined in, then runny nose and slight chill / temp joined in for 24 hours, then back to bunged up. No headache and no breathlessness or need to go to bed. Today’s test was still positive, though line quite faint. I’m on day 9 since symptoms first turned up, and day 7 since my first positive test.

I think it took me 15 days, utterly tedious as I never felt particularly ill.

Scientists confirm, a killer asteroid will crash to Earth

Much like they tell us there's a climate catastrophe coming.

On the plus side, it may mean Elon Musk sods off to Mars sooner rather than later /styles/default/xenforo/smls/laugh.gif

I've no problem with him, he's cleared up Twitter.

A friend of mine is going sailing around the Isle of Wight this weekend. I wonder where she will end up.

Bay of Biscay?

I wasn't sure if "foggier" is an actual word. Judging by how my spell check kept trying to change it to other things when writing the previous sentence, I'm not sure it is.

I'm tired of changing the spell checker US spelling to the proper spelling!

I work for an American company and have had to learn how to write American!

She's 5 feet tall and couldn't get into the attic to get the Christmas lights without help. I chose to go out instead

No 's' in maths and no 'h' in herb. That's about it

I was asked to click on pictures of hot air balloons to verify I'm human this time. Makes a change from traffic lightst and horses. I wonder what it will be next time.

PO has squirrels on trees, houses, all in blurry pictures. I get very grumpy!

Sky is getting dark, we may be in for rain. Mrs MY has popped out to the shops, she may not be happy when she returns.

And I'm not happy because the garden is flooding again.

No more wallpaper to strip.

But. I found the floor in the corner of the room is dipping down. It's not saggy or bouncy but just goes down hill. So now my task is to decide if I can be bothered to rectify it. The floor boards I got up this morning and found no rot. Just shoddy repair work from decades ago.
The mundaneness continues.

How can you live in a place for 30 odd yeas and not notice that the floor is not level??

We once stayed in what was claimed to be the oldest Inn in Wales at LLandrindod Wells. Weird place as nothing was level.

Hound time getting in before the mass chucking out time starts.

Went out for a trike run at 0930 this morning and got back dry but only just in time to avoid a shower. First reasonable run for about 6 or 7 weeks so hill climbing was a bit hard.
I try to keep a note of my breathing as there will be a consultant appointment coming up soon re my heart valves. They always ask "what is your limiting factor when taking exercise? " I certainly puffed a bit this morning but my leg strength seems to be the limiting factor.
The consultant is very political and is scathing about the current political scene and campaigns for better staff conditions and pay so I must remember to congratulate him on his stance.
