Beautiful weather here, clear skies and not much wind.

The future probably involves a socially distanced bike ride with a friend and his daughter to a nice big playground where our kids can play without getting too close together...

Did you see that suddenly flash past ?

It was the kitten ! He's having a mad 5 minutes .

 

[PeteXXX]

Yes ! I did ! I wondered why I wasn't feeling too good .
The nurse from the first ambulance almost fainted at the sight of the blood .
Having a bleeding stomach ulcer and being of blood thinners don't mix . A second ambulance with a Paramedic was called , he managed to get a saline drip into me . It was a blue flashy light and ney nahs into Bath. Meanwhile I was a bit oblivious to what was going on !
Apparently when my wife got to see me in hospital I had 2 drips going into both arms with my favourite blood in them . I don't remember that bit .
I survived !

Well.. Nine of my A+ blood has gone to Bath hospital so you haven't got any of mine!

BTW, did you know that you can lose about 50% of your normal blood volume before things get really serious?

Yes. When they discovered I'd been slowly internally bleeding for 15 months after my crash in 2016 they put 4 pints into me during the repair operation

Oddly enough riding LEL in 2017 didn't put pressure on the small tear that let blood out.

I was just thinking about the incident and how it came about .
I had a heart attack on New Year's Eve . I just thought it was indigestion. After a blood test they said that I had had a heart attack !
It was a shock ! Up until that moment I thought I was invincible. So they gave me Heparin injections , blood thinners and Beta blockers.
I just assumed that the carp feeling was down to the heart attack. I'd never had one before so I didn't realise something wasn't right . I was allowed home but I was back in the next day as I woke up slumped over the bath. My blood pressure was too low . They let me back home a few hours later . We started playing Cluedo! Which room will the ambulance crew pick me up from next !
So looking back it would seem that I had been losing blood in hospital without knowing it .
I ended up on a Gastric ward with 4 units of blood and a similar amount of saline with the gastric and cardio peeps arguing over my medication.

That's the right type !
I used to give blood but couldn't after the transfusion and medication .

I know very little about the chthonic (look that one up in your Funk and Wagnall!) life of mushrooms, but I'm not sure cannibalism is their scene.
There are lots of clips on YouTube about mushroom farming in Kenya. Brilliant farmers using very little technology and doing a great job. Quite inspiring.

They still going!

Local cat tried to be 'hard' ...and failed.
It watched as another cat approached, unaware it was there. It launched itself at the unaware cat, a flurry of claws and then a face to face standoff, a little cat calling...then it slowly slunk off, defeated.
All of this watched from my landing window.

I have a (sadly) incomplete set from circa 1960. The missing volume(s) will be somewhere en route from USA to Saudi Arabia then to UK.
