Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
I picked up a nasty dry hacking cough which started yesterday. Broken night sleep with the coughing fits. I didn't do my gym session this morning, thought it prudent. It's easing a bit but I'll take a view on Thursday and Fridays sessions depending how I come to. On another matter, I received my app...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
The fascists have many things wrong but one thing stood out, they regard Starmer as left wing? Also they said he was suitable for assassination.

Re: WHAT DID WE HAVE FOR TEA?
I'll be having bacon, egg and tomato for my lunch, but it will only be two rashers of back bacon , I egg and one home grown tomato, plenty for one meal. I had porridge for breakfast. Tea will be home made pea and ham soup with a slice of home made sourdough bread.

The government said new information about the "depth" of Lord Mandelson's relationship with Epstein had not been known when he was appointed last year. Absolute rubbish, all he had to do was ask the spooks, they would have had the skinny. Failed on two counts as he already had a dodgy tra...

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Managed to get to the Gym this morning during a break in the rain. Nearly got home later but it spoilt itself and the last bit up Ash Grove onto the croft it was straight down heavy rain, one would say siling it down.

On the bright side and a little windfall from the Constituency Labour Party. We won £40.00 in the 200 club to which we subscribed and forgot to cancel. Badgers parting gifts.

You can also now get a "card guard" which is fashioned the same as a credit card and fits in your wallet or purse. It disrupts attempts to clandestinely scan cards. Another approach is an RFID wallet or purse which is constructed from materials that will not pass RF fields so again impervi...

I also have carried the scars for about 50 years from a reactionary bite from Zoltan. Not his nature but I suppose the equivalent of bite on this for pain control when his tail got caught in the garden gate on West Road in Carleton. He clamped his jaw on the nearest thing which was just above the to...

Re: Old fashioned clean jokes
Most phones default to high definition files, it's one of the downers of having a super computer in your pocket. You can probably change that if you have a poke around in the camera settings. I don't do overpriced Apple stuff but I assume it's possible.

Oh Julie! I have been there with a German Shepherd, Savanah Cameron Zoltan to give him his Sunday name. I had him on a short leash and he started by shoving his nose up the skirt of a twin set Tweed suited woman in front of us in a queue for the chippy in Carleton, he took my hand with his foraging....

Re: POLITICS CORNER
I have always thought of Starmer as a bit of a wet sheep, certainly not an ounce of socialism in him. Threatening senior protesters with years in prison for writing a poster was too far against civil liberties for me. Since jacking, I have a lot more time for other stuff now.

But it means we reach the gallery storage limit earlier Peter. For the record. I upgraded the virtual Hard Drive storage capacity a couple of years ago at least. The Gallery doesn't have a separate storage limit, it uses the same space as the posts and everything else on the virtual site. the 120GB...

Bosom Friends Coffee Morning yesterday, I took the starter I made for Jill who normally bakes a cake for us. She didn't turn up yesterday so I had it spare. I decided to make some more Naan's with it rather than put it back in my jar, I have enough already in there. 80g of starter makes 6 Naan's. Sa...

I saw one, (a Tesla) parked up on St Jame's Square the other day. I had a look inside as I passed, I don't know what they cost but its probably too much, there is only a steering wheel and a laptop screen mounted on the dash. Jet black paint job and a boring interior.

Someone has painted some semblance of a union flag on the mini roundabout at Skipton/Gisburn Road junction. Didn't notice it when we walked to the gym this morning but there was a lot of school traffic at 8.40.

It was fine and dry with the sun trying to get through when we walked down to the Gym at 8.40. Wind had picked up a bit and it was damping slightly when we walked back up at 10.15.

Re: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
The levain I took from my main starter for my loaf took a while to start fermenting after feeding. This is because I fed it as a 1:2:2 ratio. Increasing the amount of flour in the feed always slows down the fermentation. It had doubled by early evening so I mixed up my dough, I left it to autolyse f...
