10 gms of cheddar - is that even visible to the naked eye? 10 gms of grated Parmesan would yield more, is marginally lower carb and delights ones' taste buds more. Other opinions are available though they are just not right

I really love the taste of extra mature cheddar. It is quite strong so a little bit goes quite a long way.
 
Thank you @ianpspurs and good to know that standards are still being observed in dreary L.A.

We had one that regardless the heat, the water was freezing!
But the huge one on the prom, was something to behold with the crowds flocking there, the series of events, the facilities, there is nothing like it now. Including the foot wash, where I slipped and broke my right arm!
Great place.
 
@Lamont D You mean the New Brighton Outdoor Baths? They were amazing. Then a storm breached its walls...

If the water went up to bearable temperatures at Lincoln it meant there had been a considerable heat wave and Police would have got out their whites for point duty rather than get 'cooked'.

The youngster would ask. Whats the temperature at Boultham baths?

Good news that the consultation went well. Shame about the weather but imho you managed the main event of the day so now time to rest in comfort. Will Marjorie be watching the football? Peace be with you both.

Yep!
it was already in decline due to the economic pressures for the council. Since we became Merseyside, a lot of resources were diverted by government. And the whole of the area suffered. As usual!
The storm just finished it off.
it is now a car park for the new regeneration done at the turn of the century thanks to European money, and a bit of Labour government money.
further along the coast, your way, there was the Derby baths. That is the one which was freezing.
There was a number of sea baths around the peninsula.
And a small number of indoor baths. One were I learned to swim at four years old, due to it being next to my Infant and junior school. My kids, were swimming by the same age. It was a sort of a ritual where we lived.
Including Mrs L, who was a member of the local swimming club till an adult and took part in many galas.
I wasn't that good, but I did get asked to play water polo, for the club, I tried but, not my game. I nearly drowned, ha!
I think there used to be a few on the north Wales coast, I'm sure we swam there in the 60's/70's?
Good memories!
 
I was reliably informed, that outdoor baths were heated to at least 50 degrees. Farenheit.????

Persistent rain all day here in London. No tennis was played on the outside courts at Wimbledon. There's now a serious backlog of matches due rain delays.

The reason we're getting a soaking, yet again, is mostly the jet stream. Apparently, we're saddled with troughs over Greenland forming a succession of low pressure systems that track slowly over the UK.

Higher pressure than normal over north-east Europe (might have known the Russians had a hand in it) has slowed the progress of these rain-bearing low pressure systems which tend to stagnate over the UK for a few days bringing still more wet weather.

On top of that, sea surface temperatures in the Atlantic are at record levels thanks to climate change, which means low pressure systems have more energy, resulting in higher rainfall and thunderstorms.


Tuesday's FBG, 4.6 mmol on waking at 6.00 am.
 
Morning all from a too, too dreary Me Dearie L.A. on if its Wednesday roll out the black bin tonight. Now I've seen to the dogs, made tea and peeled two boiled eggs to go with the Jarlsberg for morning meds regime today is pretty much wait for Jimmy's last hurrah, fit in some tennis before Dear England time. Its all go/gone here. I will test fbg again but atm all I will learn is that steroids and antibiotics plus Bully Bully stress the body - who knew/could have guessed?@JohnEGreen hug for the frustration but it is hardly surprising bg reflects the tumultuous times you are experiencing. Peace be with you and Judith. The great and the good in the old BBC discussion on that book I adored as a 17 year old very much agreed with my view that the last 20? years have the same feel as England in the first decade of the C20th and our leaders have ducked solving the same issues: poverty - low wages, made worse by inequality for women, Ireland as the prime example of the nonsense of Empire (1 or 2), our real place in the world especially Europe. Moscow, this tea won't drink itself nor tablets swallow themselves. Y'all have a great day -
