Yes books can be really heavy.

I was studying for my Level 4 Backcare Certificate and decided to take my really heavy text books with me on a visit to Australia to be at the birth of our first grandchild. When I got to Sydney I noticed a sticker on my case which stated 'this case must only be lifted by two people '.

Of course there was absolutely no time to read text books so I was really silly to take them.
 
I did own a copy of Fahrenheit 451 @alf_Josiah but I think it ended up in the fire.
 
Yes, the glasses are expensive. I have an Irlen’s Syndrome testing kit somewhere, unused for several years. There may be some of the green and yellow sheets left - they have both a shiny side and a mat side.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs. So many cut price treats in the supermarkets - we will be feasting on a melange tonight before the grandchildren depart tomorrow - their first time trying a melange but could be a pot-pourri.
 
I was expecting visitors tomorrow afternoon and was well into the food prep - expected there to be 5 kids and 5 adults so I thought I'd make pizzas for the kids and a dhal/rice dish for the adults, plus sweet things, of course. Dhal done, in the fridge, pizza elements done, and in the fridge. Oatmeal sponge cake done (for the lady who won't eat wheat but thinks oats is good for her diabetes), lemon cup cakes done - both cakes ready for finishing, mini Christmas pudding cakes out of the freezer and defrosting, ready to finish tomorrow. All well in hand to avoid rushing around at the last minute. Then a phone call to say that one household has Covid, another have such heavy colds that they're staying away from everyone, the diabetic lady decided not to go our and about since she's not long outg of hospital and needs to be careful. So - no early New Year guests.

Luckily Alistair came in right at that moment so went away bearing Christmas puds and the pizza kit for Em to finish off. The dhal is in a foil tray now, ready to go in the freezer, the cakes will go into plastic boxes and I'll see if I can find spaced for them in the freezer as well - much of the space is taken up with bags of grapes DIL is intending to use to make wine, when she can get around to it. Now I can relax, except I think the dishwasher has broken down again - not because of problems with the water supply as before, I don't think. At least, if it is, it is manifesting itself differently. Back to hand washing the dishes meantime.

As Marvin would say, What's Going On?

Anywho, my left side from head to Achilles is in minor pain.
8.25, I woke up. That, other than a toilet visit is ten hours stright.
But I'm paying for it!

Had a visit from #8, and played with him, a couple of ouches slipped out and he followed me around quoting, copying, along my discomfort, whilst a hearty laugh, sprang from his throat. His rolling around on the carpet, have me a chance to tickle him in revenge.!
He is a ratbag!
So full of mischief!
So lovable!

Mrs L has Mickey mouse clubhouse on for him and he managed to stay still for just a few minutes, to catch my breath. His gonk train set circling the room as it is pulled along with a lot of noise of course.

Some quiet time, got a few Chores to do, cooking some really nice bacon from butchers. And then preparations of the gammon and beef for New Year.

Read Farenheit back when the film was out, when young the library was the place to find or order books once a month, taking the kids.
I read all of Ludlum before Hollywood poked it's nose in!
Le Carre, all those classic paperbacks, of spies.
Mystery, WWII, Horror and what ifs!
Haven't been to one in yonks!

There was a now famous battle that has been established close to where I live. And it was just as important as Stamford bridge, Hastings, on how the British isles was divided up between the men of the North.
Regardless of either Saxon, Angles, Vikings, Celts, Normans, Jutes, Britons, and so on. They were considered as Norse or Northmen by some historians. Many were southern European from pre Roman, Greek, Persian and Slavs.
As humans we still haven't learned much about getting on with our neighbours!

My best wishes to you all as always. From this mod, pre political skinhead, and now skinhead involuntarily.
 
As a child and still, I see things. My mum took me to see a catholic priest as she was was worried, the priest said I was very privileged and gifted. Children are innocent that's why they see stuff, more than us adults, they are not closed off that's probably why she knew where Saffy's ashes were hidden x
 
Would be nice if my only mystic things were Deja vu and weird dreams but unfortunately they are not. Weird and wonderful, too many stories to tell! The time slip shop is fascinating!
 
That was good that the Catholic priest didn't have a closed mind. I think that he might have been quite unique in that respect.

I used to be really 'closed off' but there were several unexplainable incidents that happened to me prior to the Saffy's ashes incident (and since) that challenged that way of thinking and I am not 'closed off' anymore.
 
Considering my mum took me - knowing that she had gone through the same I think she was just confirming that she was not going mad herself! The priest was very interested, but there are many Catholics that are gifted and I often wonder if the priest was gifted also. I fear not the dead but the living and angels come in many shapes and forms. I think Saffy was your guardian angel that night x
 
By 7AM this morning blood sugar was down to 7.5

I have bad earache for the last few days from the ear down to the neck making swallowing very painful and keeping me awake so this morning I gave in and called the doctors surgery to my surprise was given an appointment for 9:30 AM so now have antibiotics for suspected inner ear infection starting to feel better already though still painful but slightly less so.
