Good to hear you've had a bit of sleep, ketones are ok, and blood sugar a bit lower, especially after all that stress.

That's a very good reason, it's not the museum's fault it's in Edinburgh, and there is no other way of visiting it. You can have a walk around the old town as well. Apparently Edinburgh is, these days, a "hipster hotspot", there are no innoculations that can save you from that. Mind you, Glasgow...

Has this prepared you for Edinburgh tomorrow? I'm intrigued what, after 25 years of avoiding it, has persuaded you to go there?

Good to hear you are feeling better, and are ready to complain about the bad experience,

Morning everyone, My blood sugar has been reasonably well behaved overnight, assisted by a well timed correction, because I just happened to wake up just before it went crazy. Raining outside, so hat day.

There were a few bands like them, in the sense that they were uniquely "themselves", they weren't of a genre, but just doing what they wanted to do well enough that they were too interesting to be ignored. Like Brinsley Schwarz, Kilburn and High Roads, the Sutherland Brothers. Then there just...

It was a time of such rapid change, and music was very important as a driver of that change. I don't think it will ever be that important again. Change at the moment is driven by political decisions, not by people within a society creating a new culture, through music. @Fairygodmother got to...

This all sounds exciting, except maybe the boarding school, though leaving it probably was. :)

They are touring the US this autumn, only they sacked Lindsey Buckingham, but they might come to Europe next year, and maybe even have made it up with Lindsey Buckingham, by then. So don't give up on it, it could still happen.

What have I listened to this week? I created a playlist on Spotify of folkie songs that I thought sounded reasonably interesting, to see which ones I might form a longer term relationship with. The National, Fleetwood Mac, I never really noticed them, but I am starting to appreciate their...

Be bop deluxe. They were a unique vision realised. That's all really,

I would have agreed once, about Dylan's voice not being great in a conventional sense, but I remember trying to learn to play "Ring them bells" once, and thinking that it almost sounds too smooth when someone else sings it, whereas when he sings it sounds different. This rock thing, "Rag mama...

You only like half a dozen Yes songs? that's about two albums worth! I just remember in the Sixth form, a certain group of young men would continuously play Yes in the common room area, and that probably put me off progressive rock for life.

I enjoyed punk, in 1976, it was quite fun, and I listened to John Peel, bought Anarchy in the UK, and went to see the Clash, but I'm just a few years older than Cumberland, so I found Iggy Pop, Patti Smith, and Television, more interesting, because they were a little bit more grown up, and these...

That was very punk!

Congratulations @Robinredbreast on your new job. 60 is the perfect age to get a new one, sounds exciting.

That's good news. It's also good news they are seeing good results from the people using it. I read a blog, I think, by a DSN? I can't remember, and she said that patients were engaging more once they got Freestyle Libre, they were all happier. That probably creates a much more positive...

Morning everyone, blood sugar started going up yesterday, as the neighbours had been painting, and I could smell it. It affects myasthma, and blood sugar as as a result, but everything seems ok this morning, so I'm hoping that they had been painting for a few days, and the smell just reached my...
