Beekay 5,141 Posted May 20, 2021 Report Share Posted May 20, 2021 Thanks Rob.L, much obliged. I assume you get your negatives back and if on a flash stick I could print them at home. I also have a device for copying images from negatives and slides, (not sure what you call it). Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,280 Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 This morning I realised just how well I have felt since the heart attack. This was when logging the results from my morning hour on the indoor rowing machine and bike. I have been making incremental increases in pace and duration and paying more attention to the warm ups and warm downs. Also made slight changes to diet. Just looked through the exercise log for this year and some of the notes made each day. Without going into detail it would seem that exercise alone is not going to stop heart attacks unless (hopefully) accompanied by a careful diet and lighter drinking. I rowed 851km in January and weighed 83kg - a reduction of 2kg from Jan 1st. Only rowed 54km since HA but now 80kg. For some months I had assumed that my HRM or the machine was on the blink due to my heart rate reducing instead of rising with increased effort. This was accompanied by headaches and a feeling of no energy. I know now that it was due to the clogged artery. Certainly learnt a lot this year. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

nonnaB 4,895 Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 I thought summer was on its way and decided to make a detour. We had a lot of rain and was icy cold then it turned warmer and everyone was saying that this was warmer temperatures than normal. Its still warm but very windy. Unusual as we dont have a lot of windy weather, maybe for a couple of days but thats all. Now its blowing everything away. We have 3 solar globes In the courtyard as well as smaller ones stuck in the soil in the flower beds, all of them have moved. Daren't put any washing out. According to weather forcast its going to be hotter with lashing rain. Think we'll have to wait for a swim and sunbathe. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
IAN FINN 807 Posted May 21, 2021 Report Share Posted May 21, 2021 You think you have it bad Nonna we went from 31 degees down to -4 degrees in 24 hours with strong north winds and snow and freezing rain had to cover shrubs and flowers in the garden and take all the flower pots into the shed. The daffodils which bloom here late after surviving -50 temps inthe winter have just finished its suppose to warm up next week take care. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

philmayfield 6,123 Posted May 22, 2021 Report Share Posted May 22, 2021 They do but weather forecasting is a much more accurate science than it used to be and short term forecasts are normally fairly accurate. Having studied meteorology for my pilot exams I’ve always taken a keen interest in the weather. I have a barograph, both mercury and aneroid barometers and an anemometer and wind vane on the stable roof. I also have a piece of seaweed and a little man and woman who pop in and out of a house. I still find that the best forecast is obtained by looking out of the window though! The app. I use is XC Weather which is a compilation from weather stations around the country and gives a seven day forecast. There is a heatwave to come shortly so rumour has it!   Quote Link to post Share on other sites

PeverilPeril 3,280 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Had a good day fly fishing on a small lake yesterday. Knocked two on the head for smoking. Filleted them and put in brine. Wish I could fillet trout neatly. Still untidy after 50 years of trying. Sea fish seem easier. Fishing in a boat on Blithfield today. W/e of fishing to replace cancelled week away in the Highlands.

nonnaB 4,895 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thought I was going to have a peaceful day after yesterday. I was preserving vegetables all day. I made 7 jars of Caponata ( aubergine, celery, green olives and capers in a sweet and sour sauce) . In the afternoon I made 12 jars of Vegetable Giardinera. A mix of veg in tomato base sauce. Its been a few years since I preserved anything so was eager to start before the gluts of fruit and veg arrive. Well today didn't commence how I thought and because its been so windy I decided to sweep up outside and wash everything down. Came in a while ago and put a lasagne in the microwave for my lunch. All the family are working today so I feel I've earned a rest this afternoon with a Magnum Purgatorio. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted May 23, 2021 Report Share Posted May 23, 2021 Thanks Lizzie I'm about to taste my preserves, just to make sure they are ok you understand. I have some lovely fresh tomatoes so will have a salad with them. Deborah will probably be joining me. She had her 1st jab this afternoon. Â 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Jill Sparrow 10,305 Posted May 24, 2021 Report Share Posted May 24, 2021 My day was made at 1.30 this morning. Last night was very wet and after putting out the hedgehog supper, I didn't hang around. Â I woke at 1.20 to the sound of someone ejecting a fur ball! It had stopped raining so, with a torch on a low setting, I walked carefully down to the bottom of the garden. Before I got there, I heard snorting and rustling together with the sight of something moving in a circular fashion. Horace...and Doris...the hedgehogs up to a bit of hedgehog hanky panky! Â High hopes of babies next month! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
