Christmas Tree

Just discovered the YHA Never looked into them before but what stunning places they have. Thinking of having a bit of a run round with the Mrs during the hols. Im thinking of Stratford upon Avon, over to Snowdonia, then Chester, the hawks head or Coniston. Just got to find some cheap hiking boots and matching cagoules so we look like walkers.

Lucky ewe. Well done.

That’s excellent. It’s pretty well known for reversing type 2. As you say, once you get your head round it it’s fairly easy. Bread I rarely miss, rice is substituted with cauliflower rice and I’ve just started making my own flatbreads to have with fajitas and Crispy duck on Saturday with gem lettuce for pancakes. But because the carbs are virtually gone you don’t get those highs and lows so can naturally fast. Bet your doc is loving those results.

Tonight if you have a clear sky 10.51 west to east south east duration 6 minutes

Was looking at Atkins to shift a bit of weight quickly, then discovered Keto fitness club on Facebook and diet doctor and learned a lot about the benefits of very low carb diets. Only takes a few days to get into Ketosis (fat burning) and after that it’s fairly straightforward. Quite often I’m just on one meal a day. Just not hungry as once your in ketosis the body quite happily eats you It’s quite something after about a week or two that your brain and energy levels kick into overdrive. You just have to set yourself up with all the new cupboard staples such as almond flour, xantham gum and linseed etc and then you’re good to go.

I make my own. Called mega bread. Bit rubbery but does the job. Not that I eat much bread these days.

Keto, breads a no no

There’s a lovely pub opposite the Matfen, just walk through the churchyard. Or better still just get a bar meal in the conservatory at the matfen.

The nights young

Sneaky kid free night away with the Mrs. Started the day in Stokesly, then afternoon in Whitby, bit of shopping in Thirsk, waved at @Alex passing through Hemsley and now sitting in a gorgeous hotel beer garden in Pately Bridge. Back home tomorrow via swaledale and Wensleydale while keeping an eye out for @Dr Gloom on another stag do. Obviously a bit pissed but will do my best to “fuck off” ASAP. However might be drinking late and looking for the odd meteor in the sky so can’t promise.

I’m not really back. Know nowt about football and politics is too confrontational these days. Just happened I’d finished the pergola over my fish pond as was a few beers in. Still enjoy reading though. Anyway Quiffs took my place

But that’s infections Trooper not hospitalisation or deaths. Thankfully the vaccines are working. Ive been as scared of this as anybody given my wife has severe asthma, but it’s clear as day that the vaccines are working. That said I’m still not back in a taxi yet but that’s mainly because I would like my teacher daughter to have her second jab before I risk bringing it home.

I think London is a tough situation given the population diversity. Been very lucky here. I have one in primary, one in secondary and another who is a teacher and so far no time missed.

I think that’s all we can do. People will have to decide for themselves whether they want to attend a match, go to the theatre or pub and whether they want to continue to wear a mask. I think if we ever want to return to any sense of normal, then this is about as good as it gets. As for variants, I honestly don’t think there’s any stopping them. They will always find a way through. So many routes in. I’m just pretty pleased we seem to have some very clever people in science looking at all of this and that it has targeted the old rather than kids. Horrific to imagine it had been the other way around.

Not what the data says or virologists suggest.

Agree about a mutation but that could come from anywhere, anytime in the future. As for schools, good discussion on times radio this afternoon where teachers were calling for bubbles to be terminated. All his staff are double jabbed and it rarely effects children so no need for it to continue from September in his opinion.

Because thankfully the vaccines are doing their job and preventing those infections turning into serious hospitalisation / death. There is no ther option other than too live with the virus and accept that as with Flu, every year it is going to claim a certain number of lives.

Yes. 1st wave hospital admissions were at 3,000 a day, In January upto 4,000 a day. The last 10 weeks, even after the big reopening in May, hospital admissions have in the 200 hundreds a day.

It’s over / lock thread.

so relaxing 🙂

Diy

Yes, I’m a cunt, yes, I’ll fuck off and yes, at some point I’ll die...... but tonight I did this and am so proud

“The City of London will remain the dominant financial centre in Europe for the foreseeable future”. Get a life. Come on over to Mumsnet.

Best wishes for you and your wife. Our lass has brittle asthma and it was stressful enough before Corona. She’s been admitted twice since March and it’s very frightening.

I just bought my 16 year old a Huawei Matebook D 14 Laptop. Seemed to have decent reviews and she’s very happy with it £549.
