Good Morening Ladies and Gentlemen and those who wonder where their youth went.
Another straight 5.0 on that meter of despair.
If only me, me’s and myself were more literate I wonder if I would appreciate If, but as it is I shall sit and stare, pondering a host of golden daffodils while cogitating the cubed root of x+y-b= z
Very shortly I must change and meet up with a couple friends for lunch at a venue where we are known for causing chaos, merriment and total outrage amongst those who eavesdrop our conversations.
Stay safe all. It is rumoured Paul Gadd has been released from prison early, the phrase Oh my Gadd springs to mind.

The tragedy of Kipling's poem If is that he wrote it for his 10 year old son John who later was killed in the great war age 18.
this morning incredibly out of the blue I had the lowest fbg for months with a 4.9 wow!

The weather doesn't look too bad today at 9deg C but cloudy again.
I did hope to see the green comet in the Northern sky in an early am but we have cloudy skies much of the time.
Never mind it will come out of the Oort cloud again in another 50,000 years!
I hope you all have a good weekend and can manage through these difficult times.

Fbg 6.1
Nighttime wildlife camera...
Cat Merlin's nighttime visitors:
Cat Jade
FoxyLoxy
Badger KissyKissy
And Cat Amy is just the eyes at one point...
Creative is a digital painting in Procreate.
There is a red rose in my front garden. It is tatty with it being winter, but there is nearly always a red rose by J's bench. I put the bench there for J and my Hearing dog for the deaf, Meg. I bought this red rose bush because it always has a beautiful perfume no matter how tatty looking the rose. I can smell it from indoors where my couch is by the front window. It is a very dull, cloudy dreary day weatherwise here. So, I thought I would paint my red rose, because it is always the bright colourful spot in the front garden...
Time for a cuppa.
You have your best day...

Surprising warm walk this morning for early February. Just done the Saturday's 'i' quiz. I beat Mr K which is unusual.

FBG 5.8 - it was only 5.0 when I went to bed and I was up after 3 hours, so not really a surprise. Rose to 11.9 so I have taken some insulin and will shortly have my breakfast.
It's not raining here but is very cloudy and grey - and the clouds last night were the strange pinky colour that we had before the last storm. The wind is beginning to build up just now - seems to be coming from a kind of southerly direction although I can only hear it in the chimney, not on the front of the house.
Em came in the afternoon yesterday - she'd slept in until her Dad woke her at 12.30 when he delivered their mail. She helped me make my bed - it wasn't tidily done, but it was done so I slept on a sheet and under a covered duvet last night, much more comfortable than just wrapped in a furry blanket.

Morning all.
6.3....that'll do for today.
Spotted this, regarding vitamin D, and at 6:00 on, made sense to me.
With covid, flu & whatever else all circulating.
And for me the added bonus of asthma (markedly reduced since LCHF)
Taking it as a supplement, especially during my year indoors and winter for others, seems a no-brainer ...mmmhh.
have the best of days, people.
London out.

Wazzup famalam? as Bertie Wooster was wont to say when he went to Compton - much to the chagrin of Jeeves. @gennepher thanks for the creative which is beautiful and I'm guessing holds precious memories. @Krystyna23040 ah, but did he let you win? 
@jjraak great fbg and thanks for the video. I'll watch it later after I've had a long talk with my scepticism. Open mind, Ian, open mind. (Honours even last night but ££££s spent and no striker? ) A wish for Saturday - unless you are the Scottish rugby team. Can't find the lyrics Genn

John Campbell is a genuine guy. I met him in the 90s when I worked at the Carlisle Hospital.

Here's a pick and mix of thoughts for the day none of them overtly Christian. Either file under supercalifragilisticexpialidocious or savour them like a fine wine. The world is your lobster Terence. Anyone else see a remarkable similarity between the attached, our last but 1 PM and most of that (and current) cabinet? He of the throbbing vein is a shoe in for the minder.

Good afternoon everyone from a bit of a dull and lazy day here in the dark and dangerous north. Out for family dinner experience yesterday so the 6.0 on the test of lies is not so bad. Packing today, amongst other things. Staying in Manchester tomorrow night and then Monday is the Manchester Airport Security Queue Experience. It’s a bit like camping out all night to get the first new LP or is it phones these days. Art bit - adding some details. Have the best afternoon that swings your way. I shall probably have a go at power napping.

Thank you for this. I am going to pass it on to my family as it is such important information.

Been having problems with e-mail addresses recently - my old one seemed to have been compromised so I changed it - no problem, Neil did that for me but trying to get organisations to let me change it proved, in some, impossible and in others requiring intervention by support staff. Carson had to do it for me on diabetes uk, and I have just spent half an hour getting someone to change one of my Royal Bank of Scotland accounts. Now I can close off the old one and just ignore those website that failed to offer support (eg Littlewoods with whom I must have spent thousands over the almost 60 years I have been buying from them). In the end, it only took half an hour for the bank to sort it out for me. Pretty good going RBS!
Edit. Belay that comment. I just tried to test it by logging in and it won't let me. I'll leave it for a while and then try again.

Hi @dunelm,
Could be the remains of Tintern......old stone work takes of lot of beating, I like the rich red sandstone of the Solway basin.
We found an Inglenook fire place covered up when we restored our fire place and the mason had some stone he retrieved from a disused railway bridge in West Cumbria and the lintel and sides are made from this peachy coloured red sandstone.
