There have been some excellent recent advances in "cytogenetics"and apparently I have to go to the shopping centre later and give someone a blood sample
honestly - the things you have to do to get a pound of sausages these days!!!
(or it might be a trial for a new blood test to detect cancer - but that is less humerous - other opinions may exist)
anyway - time for the second coffee
Don't think it would have made much difference apart from being able to retire earlier. House prices have rocketed above inflation, so effectively I'm better off. As it is, it falls just about right with the plans we have.TBH Dirk from your phraseology I sensed all hadn't been good so I opted to stay out of commenting.
Glad all is well for the future though.
Wouldn't it be nice to inherit that 20 years earlier![]()
You'll have to go for a walk to burn them off.Popped round to the supermarket for a few things. No sign of any increase in temperature yet.
Thought I would treat myself to a bag of salted cashews with my cuppa and nearly had kittens when I looked at the calories after I'd eaten them!![]()
I hadn't thought of this. Good point.Power cuts are going to be a very big deal in the coming years, a “perfect storm” of more storm events and more demand as we are all forced to switch to electric boilers and to electric cars. In future, having no power will mean no means of heating at all for most and no means of using the car either. And once the battery on your phone dies, no digital connectivity either.
I'll go back out in the afternoon. Not sure it will burn off the hunners o calories though.You'll have to go for a walk to burn them off.
Just avoid buying snacks in shops if you go in them, otherwise just walk on by.I'll go back out in the afternoon. Not sure it will burn off the hunners o calories though.![]()

Nothing special , yours if you want it. One retired Train Driver to another.
In the goal mouth......that should helpGood morning. Heavy frost last night and looks cold out. My cold is better but still with me to the extent I haven't got up yet. Now that is unusual!
I'm planning a walk later, probably after lunch.
I have a new worry in my life.I'm a Rover, a diehard, we are at every home match come hell or high water. I haven't missed a crucial game, promotion, cup final win/loss, relegation escape, championship home or away in my lifetime. I was at Anfield in '95. What a day.
We have reached the dizzy heights of 5th.If Fulham win next weekend and we beat Preston and Bournemouth we will be only three points off second place (yes, that means we're third!). So I'm facing five months of these scenarios.
It gets worse though. The Championship Play Off final is 3.00pm May 29th. I'm booked on Ride London the same day.
One of my cycling buddies has helpfully suggested if I get a start time before 7.00am, train for a sub five hour 💯 I could get to Wembley by 3.00pm!!!!!!
But where would I park my bike...........🤔
I get that regularly with my email account. Real pain in the a*se.Ahhhhh Not a happy bunny, sometime in the night my computer was updated and then Microshit would not except my password, some 35 minutes later and two cups of coffee I finely get in.
We have 2c and the sun be it very weak is trying to come outWe have reached the dizzying heights of 1 deg here.![]()
