According to the BBC report we are in a COVID wave.Quite cool in Cumbria after half a days rain soon back to normal.

Perhaps you should check for Covid again?
It doesn't always register first time. Its reached epidemic proportions here.

Thanks @ianpspursMorning all from Soggy Bottom in The Brecks. The few days of mild weather have given way to what I shall see as an elegy for a wasted generation. Stayed awake beyond midnight watching Coldplay last night (haven't done that for NYE or Christmas for years) and I felt a wave of hope for "something better" similar to the 2012 Olympics, Harry and M's wedding and the Three Lions two positive campaigns. I'm a rum cove. @dunelm thanks for sharing the art and take it easy with that walk. @gennepher thanks for sharing the photo. @alf_Josiah well done for remaining distinctively Alf through all this. @JohnEGreen I looked up that diet and "clicked" as to the reason so thoughts and prayers with you and yours there. I hope those who weren't comfortable in the last few days feel more at ease. For me this is just more for life's composter BUT I'm here, I'm loved and I won't back down, no I won't back down. God bless and protect you all - believer, sceptic, whatever.
Hug for the grief.Good morning all from a sunny but not much more than mild summer's day here in L.A. A quiet day here yesterday without any sport. The lounge here was temporarily a water garden for a while yesterday with the ceiling fan cum light a particularly exciting feature. Good job JKP didn't throw away three washing up bowls despite our sons' entreaties to declutter. Downstairs lights isolated, tank drained - one wet vac load at a time as the nut/valve was rusted/broken. Poor plumber was on his way home to Ipswich having forgotten food and wallet in the morning. At the same time the nurse came to redress one foot. She came especially to do this long after her shift ended. Yesterday was her son's Prom. He was born while she was being treated for Leukemia - 45 students/staff watching the birth as it was so rare. Then, faced with the prospect of no electricity we sourced power banks and ordered in a huge Indian feast : I had Shish kebab; pan fried salmon in onion and herbs with onion rice, salad, 2 poppadoms and a mouthful of cheese naan. I ate half the portion of rice. Certainly not full but it was enough. @dunelm thanks for sharing the developing structure and sympathy for the ankles. @Annb yes, thank goodness for your new heating system. More sport today so not such a boring day. Stay safe and find some pleasure today. Peace be with you all.
Because of my childhood location and the port itself.Problem is most of the allowed foods are things like white bread white rice and pasta not really low carb but meat is ok broccoli and cauliflower tomatoes are out still only for a few days.
No need to paint a target the area kinda stands out.
Lived in Sandwich Kent for a couple of years when posted to Manston so Folkestone used to be a day trip for us occasionally.
Navy Lark was a favourite listen for us John Pertwee and my dad were shipmates for a while during the battle of the Atlantic on convoy duty getting the convoys to Malta fighting off the U-boats.
Thanks mate but do give your head a wobble for using that hideous word lush - be'ave. Anyone else find steroids mean they could eat 24 hrs a day and never feel any less hungry? No, just me then. You - and others - may like Anna Soubry's take on Farage (apparently best with actions and a quality impersonation)Hug for the grief.
And the irritation,
When your not in the best of form, none of us want unexpected guests or upheavals.
Dinner sounded lush, mind ...nom nom nom .
Cold here today at 14 deg C.6.6 again this big day of whatever gets you outa your pit.
Meter reading day and it's a good month for that, thought the multiple showering would be a surge!
Horribly wet and windy and cold.
Can't get out in the garden!
My best wishes to you all.
Enjoy your Sunday.
I can't help seeing Slough House and set of misfits as what it was like on the inside of No 10 - on a very, very good day - for at least the last 8 years. - Jackson Lamb as Cummings then Party Marty. Perfect answer to how did we get here?A good choice, imho .
Oldman's always worth watching.

Steroids.
The stairod ov my choice is Prednisolone either the white un coated ones or the sugar coated red ones have the side effect you describe and also subdue your immune system.
Yes they do switch off the bodies ability to say when you have had sufficient fodder.
Luckily the medical profession only prescribes small dosages and reduce the dosage very quickly.
Generally you get warned about your immune system and to avoid poorly people.
In my opinion it is not worth worrying about taking them hopefully it should only be for a short period.
Another regular poster on this thread also takes steroids, maybe they will post.
If you want to know more feel free to pm me
Thanks Alf. Immunotherapy ramps up the immune system and Bullous Pemphigoid is an autoimmune disease. Immunotherapy has been suspended for now but the dermatology guru at West Suffolk and the Oncologist at Addenbrookes don't seem to know who is in charge here.Afternoon

I think Anna Soubry's take on Farage is absolutely spot on @ianpspurs- may like Anna Soubry's take on Farage (apparently best with actions and a quality impersonation)
Returning home just after 9.00 pm on a warm, Saturday evening, we had been treated to a display of wildlife activity. The hedgehog sighting was particularly special for me. Some 20 years ago, we lost our hogs, song thrushes, toads and frogs all at around the same time, presumed poisoned by pesticides. Near neighbours chopped down a beautiful yew tree and that did for the mistle thrushes too.Wildlife update
I spotted a hedgehog this evening foraging under the bird station; our first tiggy-winkle sighting for some weeks. It's been a bumper year for slugs, so plenty of food for a hog to feast on, but the molluscs will have gone to ground during this warm, dry spell and Mrs T was hoovering up the tiny morsels dropped by our feathered friends.
Not long afterwards, a couple of wood mice darted out from under the hedge and appeared to be finding something to eat, though whatever it was must have been microsopically small.
As Mr Robin turned up for his mealworns and the light started to fade, I heard a commotion from behind the greenhouse. As I peered into the gloom, 3 or 4 fox cubs came bounding up the path. On seeing me they stopped in their tracks and stared at me. (As they've grown older, they're becoming more wary, which is a good thing). Two cubs had a firm grip on something which they eventually dropped. The quarry turmed out to be mallard wings, although whether the cubs were murderers or had scavenged the wings is anybody's guess.
Saturday's FBG, 4.3 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.
More than likely @lindisfel. On the nature reserve, we've sometimes discovered a corpse, but often a beak or a foot and a pile of feathers is all that remains. Everything else is eaten.Are not the wings part of the bits left by the vixen of the Mallard?
