Just noticed an article about the robbery at the Louvre

apparently they used a furniture lift to gain access to the first floor window made by a German company
who are clearly not involved
But they have started an advert saying
"When you need to move fast"
and "as quiet as a whisper"

well done that company!!!

who said the Germans didn't have a sense of humour!!
 
Hospital visit today

Gastro doctor - I presume about the Coeliac Disease
not sure what he/she wants to talk about/do as it just says I have an appointment
but as they don't have a recent blood test of the relevant bits then I am not sure what they can determine

so it could be a 10 minute chat
or a "go there and do this"
"now go there and do this"
"now wait and talk to the doctor"
thing

anyway - we shall see

Well - done that
she wants a full range of blood test to see how things are going

would have though that would be better done before the session
but what do I know!

anyway - blood test booked
we shall see what they say

Food wise.......
Just been told I am having macaroni cheese.
t'other night i made a large (very large) pot of Morocan style chicken. Three of us had good portions. I just went to put the remainder in a tray for freezing......was surprised to find there is enough for 3 meals if I add some chips.
Had to freeze them all as its been cooked a few days now.

Barnet,
An interesting afternoon at Elstree studios watching them record Beat the Chasers.
It took 2 1/2 hours to record what is basically a 45 minute show. A good bit of banter between Bradley Walsh, the contestants and the Chasers that is not shown on the airing.
Im quite interested in watching how they put the programme together.
We came out of there into a gale and hailstones, but only had to wait a minute for the bus home.

Back home now after MrsD's second cataract operation.
All went well. :okay:

I should be having mine soon but van you tell me how long she has to wait before she can drive again. Of course, this is assuming your wife is a driver.

They said that she can drive again once she can read a number plate at 20.5m - same as for a driving test. To be honest, taking into account how well she recovered after the last op, I reckon she should be OK by this Sunday.

Could you rent a tandem, with her as your stoker?

I never got that
the woman is normally smaller so the man (assuming everyone is normal and straight and all that) can see over her more easily
and the man is stronger and so can pedal harder
The stoker has sight/vision issues at present. As the stoker she'd not have to worry about what she can see, that'd be down to the pilot. Who hasn't got any sight/vision issues, as far as we know.
