Sounds worrying - so, canoodling in your office is a no then?
Sounds worrying - so, canoodling in your office is a no then?This is quite worrying about the Delta variant:
The calls for caution come at a time when research in Australia indicates just how easily the Delta variant can potentially spread. Based on CCTV footage, health officials suspect it has been transmitted in “scarily fleeting” encounters of roughly five to 10 seconds between people walking past each other in an indoor shopping area in Sydney in at least two instances.
July 19?
Interesting one, Ian.Morning all - no amount of Boosterism could make this a good one. Weather only a mother could love. Swipey felt a 5.3 punishment beating was needed. Crunch time for me and LC this week. Bloods today. Trust hanging by a thread, actually I am beginning to wonder if it is damaging more than helping. Perhaps I will be proved wrong, feelings aren’t reliable, then come on here to eat a huge slice of humble pie (LC obviously). Don’t hold your collective breath. Then bang on cue today's NT reading was Romans 14.13-endGreat art @gennepher / Popeye. Two good pieces @dunelm - we have 2 slightly larger fridge raiders nearby and the third will be here in July - not so much eat as hoover. Interestingly, at home they do the cooking. Tinkety Tonk Old Fruits.
Apparently, according to an Australian doctor John Campbell interviewed, it just takes seconds to pass the variant on.This is quite worrying about the Delta variant:

A reasonable hypothesis is that Long Covid will be rife. Never mind, we've got The Saj, as self defined.Apparently, according to an Australian doctor John Campbell interviewed, it just takes seconds to pass the variant on.
By the Autumn probably all will have had the variant cast a shadow on us. Lets just hope the Grim Reaper has lost his sickle!

Or he knew it was there and set himself upWas the camera a planned addition to fix him?
Hug for #freshnergate but winner for the wonderful art. Thanks for the good wishes. I'm hoping a full blood count and lipids will show LC may not manage my bg well but isn't too harmful overall. Lipids have been the consistent star of the show until now.good morning all
4.6 yesterday and 4.3 today
a fine and bright morning following a lovely warm and mostly sunny day yesterday. mr gee and I got quite a lot of grass cut and a bit of hedge trimmed at Mum's after dinner yesterday
On not such a happy note the little automatic air freshener thing in the hall has thrown a wobbly overnight and the whole house reeks of freesia, (not a favourite scent of mine and definitely not in this quantity) so it's batteries have been removed and my door and windows are all open it's only supposed to gently perfume the air once every 20 mins when it's turned on not fumigate the whole house every 2 minutes
Lots of visitors about in the village in the good weather the last couple of days, I agree @ianpspurs it's worrying with the delta variant on the go, we're already heading for as many cases in the Highland area as we had at the start of the lockdown period in January
Now to catch up on the posts I've missed
Hope your day is treating you well
@ianpspurs - good luck for your blood tests
@SlimLizzy - sounds as if things are getting more settled, have a hug and my sympathy for the roof problems, the period where we were waiting for our roof to be repaired and reslated felt as if I was holding it on with my teeth every time we had a high wind
@Saman1 - welcome
@gennepher - I like your Shan Shui painting, very effective, the contrast between the colourful and strong mountains and the delicate bubbling water is lovely, and there is Popeye the intrepid of course
@dunelm - glad your son's project is off to a flying start.
Two lovely heron paintings, though quite different, the first is full of colour and texture and the second of your skillful and sparing brushwork
art bit - just a calm and sunny day

I had 5.3 this morning. I am on extremely low carb 81g/day and low Fat, no Meat , only fish
I like both of these very much @dunelmGood morning everyone from another dull and quiet start here in the dark and dangerous north
The wonder wheel of roast beef with onion and mushroom gravy, french beans and cauliflower came in at 5.4 this am
Yesterdays dull start turned into quite a pleasant day and as the girl in the bubble had had a sleep over she was keen to get into the park and then down onto the beach (via a chat with the stone penguins of course). Eldest son and partner have made a start on their new house project - kitchen ripped out yesterday and two stud walls demolished - plumber and electrician had already been in to make pipes and sockets safe. Son is on early shift this week (6 - 2) so he will be moving things up a notch this week. I hope that he gets a move on - our food bill has tripled and he eats some strange stuff - potatoes, pasta, pies - all manner of exotic stuff. It’s nice that he has decided to camp here while the work is done but at 6 foot 4 inches he does tend to get in the way.
art today - Spotted the heron in the park yesterday morning so two versions - one playing with resist, one with a back wash - both on rice paper. Have a marvellous Monday - time for koffy.

Thank you. I'll settle for not life threatening. Glad you, Mr K and Archie enjoyed Blickling Hall - NT sausage rolls as well.Hope your blood count and lipids are great.
Yes @SlimLizzyDoes anyone else have issues with bedding sizes?
Single, double? king size? Queen size?
While standard double beds are four foot six, why is there no standard double duvet size? Three marked by manufacturer as double vary widely in actual size. From 175cm sq, 200cm sq and 200x210cm.
No wonder I have trouble fitting the duvet covers, which also are marked double but again vary considerably in size.
Same with pillows and pillowcases, some fit, others are too small.
We have four beds, all different sizes and it is a long cherished dream to be able to store the appropriate bedding in the room with the bed. I don't want a lot out of life, but having just spent two hours trying to find a set of bedding to fit our bed am ready to throw money at the problem.
French duvet and covers are sold with the size clearly marked.
Now to work out which size I actually need.
Wow. Is there no end to your skills and resourcefulness. Huge respect. Not sure I have any practical skills except maybe a bit of cooking, some grass cutting and ?? not even that good at smashing things these days.Yes @SlimLizzy
I have problems with all of it, including pillow cases.
I have made my own bedding in the past, but I had an industrial treadle sewing machine then.
An ordinary electric household sewing machine is useless (I have a fight with it each time) so I never get mine out now...
I have a 3/4 bed, a single wool duvet, and fat feather pillows that are impossible to stuff in your everyday pillow case (I still make my pillowcases, I hand sew them).
Good luck with your co ordination of sizes...
