hope all is well with your bp and have a lovely time with your friend
 

Pleased that you had a nice time away


It’s s bit of a shock to come back I find
 
A mid morning 3.6 for me, I'd popped to mums to finish loading the skip and I just cracked on and ignored the warnings anyway....
I've got a little problem in that at some distant point in the past someone's stashed a full size acetylene cylinder in mums garage, obviously it's been left for me but it's a recent discovery, I don't class myself as a worrier but I was twitching a bit as non of the scrap guys I know want it to the point where they pulled faces at offered bribes, I don't really want to pay £40 to take to the council tip as reading legislation I see awkward questions ahead so I asked Google, who directed me to a BOC field officer who'll come and take it away for free, and I managed that whilst a little hypo as I was marooned at mums till I came up past 5. Waddles off with a smug grin of accomplishment having spelt her address in alpha bravo charlie stylee,

I just did not want to drive the thing laid horizontally in the car at any time not knowing if it was full and I've only got bagging for oxy propane and you never crack a strange valve into air as you don't know it'll close again.

8.5 now, time to get to work.....
 
Shall we substitute hippo for hypo?

"I had a hippo at 5.30 this morning it was 1.9!"

Tony runs for cover

For such a large heavy beast they can swim rather well
AND quite a quick runner as well
 
Just had lunch and going to make chicken Risotto tonight. BP was back within the normal range, 101/66 so happy with that. Son came round about 11 am and my friend is popping around later for a cuppa and a chat.
The weather is glorious outside, so bright and sunny lovely
 

I’m not surprised you didn’t want to drive with it in the car! Older daughter had a real scare in her diving instructor days when her car caught fire and she had an oxygen cylinder in it (used for decompression if someone gets the bends). Luckily she got it out of the car in time but had it stayed there the conflagration would have been immense.
Car was destroyed anyway - secondhand one and she’d clearly been sold rubbish, was from a colleague of him indoors, aka hubby, aka her father. The rat had already fled back home to Oz.
 
Nearly right @Scott-C The buildings behind the bears are in Riga from a trip earlier this year but they do the same ham hock there too which I scoffed. The Polish trip was likewise full of food and I honestly did try to be good, failed mainly but it was a blast
 
@Scott-C I lived in Poland for 7 years so had plenty of ham hock
