That's how I chipped bits off of both elbows. 2 occasions, 2 sets of stairs. Wrists were quite unharmed but it took a while to get my arms to straighten out properly each time. Apparently they called them transmission breaks. Still better than falling onto my face on concrete stairs.More common to break a wrist putting hand down when falling, as Mum did some years ago. We all got the lecture - and some years later when ducking under a barrier my foot turned on loose stones. Down I went. "Don't out hands down" echoing through my head - then " I'm going down on my face! Flung both arms up to form a landing pad for face. Some scrapes to hands, arms and knees, but thankfully no worse damage.
Thank goodness @JohnEGreen it is not just me this happens to....(I had to correct two things in that last sentence)..5.2 this morning.
Some times the predictive text seems to know what you are going to say before you do other times when combined with the spell checking you get words inserted that just make what you post nonsensical I’m often having to correct the corrections.
Absolutely brilliant art bit @dunelmGood morning everyone on a wonderful sound of silence start to the day here in the dark and dangerous north. A trip has been planned. This time to Birmingham. I am leaving it in the capable hands of the Safari team (Safari just means ‘to journey’ but nowadays usually includes seeing wild animals - small grandchildren may fall into that category). Decadently frittered away time yesterday on that expensive pastime of doing sod all. Apart I must say, from the important task of supervising Mrs Miggins on the delicate task of applying some Teak oil (not to be confused with tea tree oil). Art bit - last of the five Indian ink on wet blotches. Hope you day is fruitful. I have a bit of shopping to do later but first I need some koffy.
Love the sound of that stock making. I tend to roast chicken carcasses for a bit before shoving into a pressure cooker with a few veg. How do you do yours?6.5 at 05.50 today. Up a bit now but it'll be OK once I have breakfast.
Soup making day today - or at least stock making. A chicken carcass to deal with and a ham hock to boil up. That will give me stock for a pot or 2 of pea and ham soup and for some chicken and leek soup when weather turns cold again. Have to have a think about what to do with the meat from the ham hock.
Neil plans to take a whole pile of cardboard and paper to the recycling plant today but I haven't seen hide nor hair of him yet. I bought (online) some pasta made from edamame beans and mung beans and he tried that yesterday. It may not have suited his delicate constitution so plans might be subject to change.

Thank you @gennepherAbsolutely brilliant art bit @dunelm
Afraid, I'm way behind with posting again @Krystyna23040.
We're all different, but on diagnosis in 2003, I went cold turkey on sweet foods in general and although I'd thought my palate might change, I was unprepared for just how quickly that happened.
I too love the way Montezuma's Absolute Black slowly melts and coats every part of your mouth with a soft and sticky chocolate gooeyness. Delicious.
Monday's FBG 4.3 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.
I roast the chicken, take off the breasts and legs for use in other dishes and then put the remaining carcass with all the still attached meat into a pot with some basic stock veg and herbs and boil for about 25-30 minutes. I think that's long enough for chicken bones. The ham hock, on the other hand, will boil for hours with all the meat on it for using later on. My MIL used to do the same thing with a lamb shank, serve the resulting soup first, then the meat with some more veg as the main meal. Dessert wasn't usually on the menu after a very filling meal. Unfortunately, I've never like boiled lamb or mutton so it was a bit wasted on me.Love the sound of that stock making.

And if you look to the past. Colonialism, forcing our ways on other people. Not just drug dealing , but again going to war with the Chinese to so as to be able to trade in opium. Then there is the barbarism of slavery.I have always known that the society we live in, in this country, has been rotten to the core.
The ethics and rules we live by, the law, politics, the hierarchy, upper echelons of the civil service, royalty.
Even to the propaganda we see every day in our press and media.
The whole lot are corrupt.
After today, the truth behind the scandal was a damming indictment of how bad it is. How the care of so many susceptible people did not get the duty of care or even given the choice. How children were used as guinea pigs. How the few doctors, the decision making, the cover ups, the lies, the deceit.
I was listening intently to the mention of Alder Hey in the early eighties. And the shocking news that children were given infected blood. #2 son had an operation in 84.. For a herniated bowel. And of course, he was given blood.
It is frightening to think my lad could have been infected.
On top of the Hillsborough disaster,
The post office scandal.
Water.
Brexit.
Power,
Oil and gas.
The banks.
The city of London.
Russian assassins.
The power brokers.
Self interest before what is right.
Bought Tories and a complicit right wing press over the years since the late adventures destroyed our democracy.
There has been an orchestration by successive governments bought by foreign influence, to infect of our way of British ideals.
The consistency of government based on cover ups and scandals, dogma, for the benefit of the corrupt elite.
The pursuit of profit before the rights and care of the people.
Food banks.
Child poverty.
That is what Tories term success.
While our pm, banks more money every week, than 95% of the population earn in a lifetime.
Sometimes, I am ashamed to be English.
They all do that, sir...Mrs Miggins know what I am going to say before I have even had the thought.
There we go. Plans scuppered for a few hours anyway. Neil is OK but just as we were going to get all the cardboad and such outg to the car, the men arrived with our final radiator and are now under the floor, fitting pipes prior to actually putting the radiator in. Don't get me wrong - I am happy that they have finally come to do the job but it just reinforces the thought that there is no point making plans.6.5 at 05.50 today. Up a bit now but it'll be OK once I have breakfast.

Thank you very much @Krystyna23040Brilliant sketch @gennepher
I have never got on with boiled mutton or lamb either. I like the ham hock idea served a la Pot-au-feu as they would say in France.I roast the chicken, take off the breasts and legs for use in other dishes and then put the remaining carcass with all the still attached meat into a pot with some basic stock veg and herbs and boil for about 25-30 minutes. I think that's long enough for chicken bones. The ham hock, on the other hand, will boil for hours with all the meat on it for using later on.

Actually, I wasn't thinking of doing it that way, but now that you mention it.... There should be enough stock to do that and still keep some for pea and ham soup.I have never got on with boiled mutton or lamb either. I like the ham hock idea served a la Pot-au-feu as they would say in France.
Outstanding....bravo .Fbg 6.7
Nighttime wildlife video
The Fox and the Cat
32secs
Creative...one line sketch.
These 3 people were talking ages.
I was watching them.
I was drinking my cuppa tea having a rest between shops.
Then I thought I will try and draw them.
I thought they would move before I finished.
But they didn't.
Their bodies moved position slightly.
I don't like sounding my own trumpet, but this might be the best one I have done yet...it surprised me when I took my drawing finger off the screen...
Warm today.
Hayfever again.
Eyes tired...it's the hayfever...
I think a nap now...
Have your best day...
