Choice of BA, American or Virgin - if they're operating of course.

Who would you go with in an ideal world?
Me, not at all , but there you go...

That was a brilliant spoof and an amazing starter to a lesson about checking internet information. Plus ça change - put it on Facebook from an influencer and millions will swallow it. And that boys and gals is how we got The Donald and our very own Coco The Clown tribute act.
One of the best I remember but can't recall the date was reported in a newspaper, a tanker carrying dehydrated water had crashed in a village and spilt its load into the village pond, the rehydration had resulted in flooding the village. :)

What is wrong with people? Aldi was a mish mash of people seemingly worrying about a famine approaching, social distancing was neither here nor even there but I survived...masked twice...as per Fauci from the States. In and out in 20 mins. Next time it's click and collect.

MrsBRS is at her neurology clinics all day, took Sid the Stinger for reasons I can't fathom and I now know Felix Formentor is really a Seat on steroids - and gets to go to the tip in a few @jjraak thanks for telling me! I'd never have known.

And then THIS happened. "So all the tooling is starting and the design stressing has gone to plan. Your software works great but we can't do this with you over there. You need to be in the Valley next Sunday for 9 days. Get your Covid stuff sorted, you've been vacc'd right?

There's no bjz jet going out but there's one coming through on the way back prolly. Book an open return flight just in case, rent a car - we'll get you an apartment near the office in Menlo. You're speaking to the group. 10 slides. Make it punchy, you're a Group VP now. K? Cya. Welcome back home".

"Oh ya, that'll be travel done till May, so ok mate. - nice job".

Sigh. I get my annual review when I'm over there with my boss too. Hope it'll go ok.

With the state of California in a right old mess, not sure 'bout any of this but I do have to go...

Just when I thought it was safe and normal...
Life at the sharp end with all its ups and downs. I am sure you will amaze and conquer.

Looks like you may have lost your wheels whilst you have been away. Anyhow, another quantum leap into the blue. I invisage lists for posh shopping in Union Square from Mrs BRSBRI?

Thank you. I hope so :) Getting there when I need to is proving very very difficult... No Virgin, no BA, no city hopper from Bristol to Amsterdam in connections so it's going to be a night at a Heathrow hotel, first flight on Air France to Paris and then Paris to San Francisco. The good news First Class is currently heavily discounted so that is what's on the cards. I think my long suffering assistant is having kittens.

Feeling a bit jet laggy. I blame the journey to the tip ;) Will take Arthur out for a gallop and then collapse in my advancing years on the sofa with a glass of liquid medicine ;)

MrsBRS will arrive back at 5ish and will cook us supper.

@geefull and @Krystyna23040 and anyone else interested, update on whey protein and P;'E video posted yesterday. @geefull I had just tea with almond milk until midday. "Meal" then was 2 scoops (60 gms) banana whey protein isolate, 400 mls water and a heaped dessert spoon Fage 0%. I calculated <4 gms carb, 0 fat and almost 60 gms protein. Flat line from eating, 2 hrs (2 hrs 18 for Swipey) -.1. Nothing to eat before 17.30 and I'm fine - about 1.5 hrs later than normal. @Krystyna23040 (and others) the graphic beneath this tool makes things simple IMHO. Look where whey protein is:woot: and I bought egg whites and 0% Fage before I saw this. Salmon, prawns, chicken are good as well.:woot:

We are trying to stop Blackbirds nesting in a Euonymus which just can't hold their nests, they have tried and failed most years but keep coming back. This balloon we blew up on Halloween 2020 and it's not gone down and I could not bring myself to burst it. So I have found a use for the persistent balloon to scare the persistent blackbird. Did it work, NO!...

Been out doing some Plein Air painting sketches, was a little chilly but got a few ideas down for Blackthorne Blossom each took less than 10 minutes.. I will try an A4 painting at some stage....

Ploughed field from yesterday, today I walked there...

I can send you the mother in law. I can assure that'll work a treat. (Don't tell MrsBRS...)
