Always Read The Label@dunelm thank you for sharing the start of something magical. Not the early morning dairy and inulin treat, those strange vertical things we don't have hereabouts.
Thanks IanMorning all on a damp but mild and calm start here in L.A. Hugs required for shingles @Annb and sudden awakening for @dunelm plus those affected or likely to be affected by Antoni. We are forecast merely light rain showers and a moderate breeze. @gennepher thank you for those superb creatives - such wonderful colours and patterns. @dunelm thank you for sharing the start of something magical. Not the early morning dairy and inulin treat, those strange vertical things we don't have hereabouts. @Krystyna23040 just reading your schedule is tiring enough so I hope tomorrow is as relaxing as you wish for. Enjoy the day in your own way. Mine will certainly involve watching plenty of sport as there are football, cricket and rugby coaches needing my (unsolicited) advice - even though they may not realise their need. I may very well take a refresher course in tea drinking just to brush up on my technique.
Thank you for sharing the Stormin Norman. Never mind the label, due diligence is also required. Kefir, well Arla organic, requires spikes and starting blocks for me. It is far speedier than normal Transits - other vans are available but not fit for the purpose of this post.Thank you @ianpspurs. Many early morning treats are out there, choose one that you like.

Wigton is where Judith's father was born and her grandfather and great grandfather we used to visit her family there often.. He cuts it at his home in Wigton
Fantastic news from the MRIJust had a letter from the opthalmologist to tell me they found nothing untoward in my MRI scan. So that's good. Still can't see as clearly as I would like but at least there's nothing sinister.
Has a good comprehensive school our two went to.Wigton is where Judith's father was born and her grandfather and great grandfather we used to visit her family there often.
My fbg this morning was 5.4 much improved.
Shocking here! It must have stopped for at the most five minutes so far, flooding around my front garden!Turned into a half decent day, certainly not the rain and wind promised and even some sun but cold.
Afraid I have some aches and pains today so not good company. Paracetamol does not really crack it and I can't take other pain killers due to conflicts with other drugs and danger of constipation issues. Gabapentin does not seem to work on non nerve pain.

Does your wife enjoy music from her youth Lamont?Shocking here! It must have stopped for at the most five minutes so far, flooding around my front garden!
And no more than the degrees of warmth. Had to wrap up like it was a wet Wednesday in February to go the match. Got beat. Got wet. Got frustrated. Got depressed. Got my feet up on the radiator. My heating came on automatically this morning, set at 18 degrees!!!!! It is so disappointing!
Sadly, her taste in music is rather limited. I do believe her brain was scrambled by the repition of music greats like Jim Reeves. I mean it must be scrambled with the misrememberitis because her biggest mistake was getting married to me!Does your wife enjoy music from her youth Lamont?
It can really help some with memory loss reach areas stored away in the past.
Hope Sunday is a much better day for you.
Best wishes

Love the drama of this sketch @dunelmGood morning everyone on a morning of quiet anticipation here in the dark and dangerous north. Not raining yet, but will it? Sometimes life is reduced to just a long list of maybes…Plan A or Plan B with Plan C lurking behind a curtain, stage right. Lots of flooding yesterday and it looked strategically planned to keep A, locals at home and B, Tourists on holiday in frustration. Some folk dither about driving through water on roads and cause the queue of the frozen rabbits. On her way here yesterday morning, Daughter got out of her car, walked into the water under the railway bridge (“if it wasne for yer Welles…”), walked back to car and drove slowly through followed by the lost and startled. The human race is breeding itself into stupidity - just look at Westminster, and the dolphins are laughing like drains. I’m going to errect a large totem in the garden and we can dance round it blowing whistles and banging drums. The garden though is looking splendid and my mum had another smashing birthday. Grandchildren will be here next Sunday for a week of fun exhausting the unsuspecting. Art bit - slowly, slowly. A bit like those early Polaroids. Hope your day has a warm chink of light somewhere in it. I shall drink koffy and monitor the weather.

My Dad, who learned to drive as a postman in the mid 30's, in a very early post van which had no windscreen and just a leather cover for the driver to keep the rain off, and then became an instructor teaching soldiers to drive and maintain their vehicles during WW2, taught my brother and myself how to drive through floods. One flood we went through was, as you said, Gennepher, under a bridge and must have been about 31/2 feet deep. We had a big, old Jowett Javelin and the water came up to just below the window level. No problems. Others were stalling and blocking the way for those behind. It's just technique. Or it was in those old cars, not sure about modern ones or electric ones.Love the drama of this sketch @dunelm
Ah, driving through water....
I was taught how to do that in a manual car even though exhaust was covered with water. I came to a flooded road under a bridge, many years ago, my children were little. And so I slowly, carefully drove through the water. There was a queue of cars behind me. The car behind me watched me go through, then he charged into the water....my kids were screaming with laughter as his/her car stalled and their car was floating aimlessly...
Thank you @gennepher. Yes, nothing like setting up a bow wave by driving too fast. I once drove a land rover off a landing craft at Scapa Flow (after waterproofing the engine and sticking a one way valve on the exhaust) - think salt water swimming but with a big surprise. Most interesting was driving my armored personnel carrier across the River Weser in Germany - get across before the ferry comes round the bendLove the drama of this sketch @dunelm
