Off to pick up the delayed laminator and a couple of bike covers to try and fend off the dust n fine Saharan sand that blows in. Might need a hand with smoothing out a bit of English to Spanish translation later cos while I do ok (with the aid of online translation) I need to make sure a couple of sentences really make sense or they may charge my allkaline battery like a gel or lithium one..

Steady on the car park shots Pedro will be after you

Brilliant. I really have to read the books now. I reckon they will have toned down Lamb from the books to be on the right side of just unacceptable for tv audiences. Might go for the audiobook (if there is one) see if my new hearing aids can finally deliver the goods after 10years!

I saw the first one last night and spied her in it. It was a faster pace than I was expecting for that type of thing. Looking forward to the next one

Yes she was superb in that. Great, gentle but poignant tv, so well observed. Thought the Pauline character was brilliantly done, most of the women who work in the local Waitrose are exactly like her

Always really enjoyed Lesley Manville’s acting. Thanks for reminding me about it.

Maybe but defo Falklands because he was very unhappy with the experimental anthrax vaccines they were given.

Noo?! The way he speaks is very much an older persons way of speaking. He was in the Falklands war, unless he joined up as a baby, which I suppose is entirely possible but I’d guess older.

Oh dear. Poor ol’ Rennie. How old is he? He looked well past retirement age.

Morning Rennie

Sometimes it’s easier if you avoid trying to open their mouth and just pull the cheek out and slide the measuring syringe down the side. Hope that makes sense. It’s how you give medication to dogs or children who clamp their teeth firmly shut. They don’t have to open their mouths at all cos the syringe fits down the inside of their cheek.

Oh you are a gem.

Yeah well firstly fuck you and secondly VIVA SUZUKI Bob won. Kinda a win win

Well thats a bummer @MooN Spent a lot of my life ministering diabetics and it’s exhausting because mainly you’re saying things they don't want to hear. Some folk can eat what’s considered an appalling diet and quite simply get away with.. everything. Some folk are as dedicated to a new regime as you could possibly be and still find their natural biology working against them. The hard facts are regardless of biology the test results don’t lie, you can’t show stressors in your blood results if your body can cope with them. So you’re gonna have to make some changes if you don't want to suffer the complications of diabetes. You like your legs, you want to be able to continue using them, you probably like the way your wee willy winky works so don’t compromise your blood flow with dumb ass diabetes. You absolutely don’t have to eat salady shite for the rest of your life BUT you do need to consider the glycemic index of a food, look at some of the cooler glucose monitors out there and TBH losing weight and physical exercise can scare diabetes away for good.

I don’t feel bad, the little bugger said of my poured over Coquilles St Jacques au Provençal - What really? You’re going to eat frog vomit?

No, he said “it’s broken”

Mr Slowly said - what is the point in spending decades building complete trust if you then don’t abuse it for a laugh

So I’m not saying I’m sore about falling for Freds April fool but I can say this cheered me just a bit. All the tools etc for the alps trip were delivered today and my son took in what arrived before he left for his lecture. He said the sportsbikeshop stuff was dry but it had hammered down while he was a uni and some parcels were soaking. We ask him to open them up and check for water damage. He dutifully does. But we think the compressor needs checking that its really working, the apple didn’t fall far from the tree…. Hahahaaa

I dunno I find most IRL people a pain in the arse but I find a lot of things that most would find ‘oh so dull’ interesting. If someone really knows there stuff on any topic I love hearing about the tiny details that only someone in that field would know about, I once spent over three hours listening to someone talk about the intricacies of cider making, I don’t make cider, have no intention of ever making cider and everyone else was bored to tears by the painstaking minutiae, literally willing him to shut up with their stares. I thought it was fascinating. But you would never have guessed that about me wud ya

Rude

Pete hang back, never

Well so far the threads a barrel of laughs

I wouldn’t advocate doing things for the sake of it or engaging with people you don’t like only stuff that floats your boat will do. Anyway like you say things will fix themselves.
