I had a check up at the doctors this morning - they are checking on everyone 
these days.  My body weight/ height ratio is spot on at 25 - or so she says. 
My BP is only 130/70, which she tells me is good for a 20 year old.  It

You are just jealous, Edith. Your miss-spent youth has caught up with you. 
All that booze, all that singing in smokey nightclubs and pubs, to say 
nothing of the sex. You're just jealous you are. I'm going back to my one 
wheeled bike for a workout.

In that case, I'd take up training for an Ironman if my knees

  Ah I see! You're brave behind a computer but bashful eye to eye. Well one 
of these fine days you will be in Cumbria the same time as we are, so 
prepare yourself to stand and not walk away.

"Bashful"!!!??? No. Bashful she is not. Honestly. But you will find there is 
a lot more to her than you might have guessed from her ramblings here.

Walk right in
Step right down

Just walking in the rain
Getting soaken wet

When you walk in a cloud
Hold your head up high

We need to plan it better. It's awful missing Tania Jp and Mike after they
came so far.

What about that boink in Norway. D'you think it will ever happen? Chit, I

OK. SO I am looking at Google Earth. It's 3500 miles between us. 
So that means we meet 1750 miles from either end. That's 110 
miles east of the tip of Greenland.

Better bring your canoe.

you got it spot on Rex, BTW the Norwegian BMI is the bowel movement index,
how many times per year.  Our Viking goddess eats only saw dust and porridge
so her's is very low.

I plan on being in Cumbria next September/October.  Not sure of the

A Norway boink sounds fun.  If you can't make it to Cumbria and I'm
already on the other side of the pond then maybe we'll all just crash at
your place. ;)

You are counting your pulse? Chuckle. I didn't know what you were on about
so I made things up, as I usually do. Shall I count my pulse now while
sitting at the computer thinking of things to throw at you? OK

70 : is that good?

I know that, Rex. I have never been so  - yukky - since I discovered
computers and uklc. You see you are all the only friends I have. I can smile
and chat with people here but I keep them at lengths pace which means I
don't invite them to my home and I don't go to there's. If it sounds sad, it
isn't. I've done my time in that area. I've found my way back to my own
culture through you people who have helped me enormously. Thank you.

Yes please. I preffer to have my feet placed firmly on the ground these
days. How about at Ian E's place. He seems to think he's too fine to mosey
around among us any more so we could pop in and pull him down a peg or two
or :-

We could all go halves and rent a big house and do our own thing from there.
I have just the right one. :-

Ian E can rest easy. I am not planning on bothering him.

But this idea of going halves on a cottage...

With your math skills, I fear I'll end up paying 99%.

Which of the five properties did you like?

Oh what a disappointment. I thought "vauage" was some Norsk slang for one's 
bahookie or what JP was recently describing (in her daughter's words) as a 
"tush". Or worse.

I think I may use it that way anyway. You can never have enough words for 
that part of the anatomy. Hmmm.  Think I'll just scratch my vauage while 
nobody's looking...

 Good morning, Edith. Trust you to lower the tone then dive for cover. 
Lovely morning here in Rutland but it's started disastrously for me. I will 
not relate the first two problems - not enough bandwidth! But the car goes 
in for its MOT this afternoon and I'm praying that's not the third disaster.


Rex. Had his MOT now it's the car's turn.

What did you do? Spill paint on the carpet?  Try fixing your printer diy

 Sorry you are not feeling too good - morning after the night before, is it?

 Briefly my two disasters involve the shower. As you probably know, we are 
refitting the shower room so we are stuck with showering in the downstairs 
bath by using the hose attached to the taps.
I had my shower and tried to rinse the bath by turning on the shower while 
it rested on the bath rack. I was too heavy handed and the shower hose took 
on a life of its own. It writhed about like a demented snake and wet the 
entire bath room. The windows, the loo roll and even the ceiling., the 
mirror, etc. I cleaned it all up before Erica came down. Or I thought I had. 
I did not check the loo roll which she found was wringing wet!
Secondly I inadvertantly put the kitchen cold tap on while Erica was 
showering. She yelled because the water was suddenly boiling hot. I am not 
popular.

Rex  - Walking disaster area this morning. Hopes to do better this 
afternoon.

lol. Bless you, lad. It's just one of those days., hey. We all have them.
They always come around when we least need them.

I fell asleep on the sofa under an ida down. Not like me to sleep in the
middle of the day unless I'm brewing a cold. Think I'll brew up a lemsip
powder if I can find one. I usually buy a packet in England then half it
with Orly. We buy all sorts and when we get back we half everything, except
for chocolate, that stays in MY flat ; I'm no fool.

Edith Brewing peppermint tea and lemsip.

You need to be physically and mentally relaxed.
If you stand up, your pulse will go up.
If you take your pulse several times, it will go up.
If you worry about it, it will go up.

Nope. I've been in the sofa under a blanket all day probably brewing a cold,
pain in back of head and neck.
Huh! Turned out to be migraine which I haven't had for quite a while.
There'll be thunder storms here within 4 days, I bet you a bov.

I am sorry you have migraine. I used to get it as a student but not any 
more.  Your day went sour, mine improved (Thank goodness)
The car sailed through its MOT.  The shower has arrived and has been 
collected, now it just wants fitting!  Looks like being a busy weekend.
Hope you soon feel better.

Oh I hope you had better luck than I did. Went for the MOT yesterday but it 
failed and had to go back today for some repairs. Much as I love 
Cockermouth, you can run out of things to do there while awaiting the return 
of a car. Yesterday I did a circuit of all the charity shops and had a very 
nice large latte in Cafe Merienda in Station Street. Today my plan to sit by 
the river and read was scuppered by the rain, so I popped into the WI market 
and chatted to a friend who has a stall there for a while, and ended up 
visiting Wordsworth House. It's taken me 9 years living hereabouts to get 
around to it, and it's very interesting and well worth the visit.

 Oh dear! Expensive business to represent for an MOT these days. My car got 
through with a warning that one front tyre will soon need renewing- uneven 
wear due to the power steering.  Last time we were in Cockermouth we visited 
Wordsworth house. I suppose being tourists it's the accepted thing to do. 
Living in |Rutland, only 2 miles from Rutland Water, with its famous bird 
population, we never get down there. Sod's law.

Thank you, Rex. I'm ok now. A bit shaky but not enough as not to go to the
last flea market of the year, in Drammen. Yip, no, I'm too week to jubil.

 I liked the look of a new car last week. The garage offered me 400 for my 
old  estate car, in part exchange. I didn't buy. Owning  a car is like 
pouring money down a drain.

Bummer. Well, he's had it a long time. I'm sure he's had his money's worth 
out of it. Time to find new money for a new one.

I just gave away my old Nissan Sunny to a guy on the Freecycle network. 
It'll cost him several hundred pounds and a lot of work to get it 
roadworthy, but he'll have a good wee car out of it. It wasn't worth my 
while. It had been standing at the back for a year, giving me meaningful 
looks...

Orly is on the verge of giving his van away too. We went for a run out
yesterday and it boiled-again. B'gerd if he we can find out why. Anyone an
expert on Toyota Hiace long van, 1992/93 model, out there who would help a
lady in distress.

Correct me if I've gone bananas. You own an old estate car yet owning a new
car is like pouring money down the drain. Something just won't click for me
here.?

Your old estate car has no sign plates and you stands rusting in the long
grass behind your house, hey?

 It does seem to be a contadiction but it is logical. My old car is fine. It 
is just getting older. A new one will cost me 12,000 or so and be worth 
about 9,500 the minute I drive it home. so why not stick with the 400 
banger if it's still going strong? It doesn't stand rusting in the grass, it 
stands rusting in the garage. And it just passed its MOT!

By the way, how are you this morning. No migraine? Vearandah still healthy? 
No Hangover? Etc etc?

The remains of a migraine siving slowly out of my head and away on the
breeze. I can't seem to consentrate 100% today, probably due to the 4 tblets
I took in twio days. I'm of to town now in the cool sunshine to buy a little
care parcel for a Cumbrian.

See all the mistakes? - and some I have already corrected. See you all
later.

I love an early morning bonk myself, followed by afternoon delight, then 
a little nibble after tea. I`m always too tired to bonk at the proper 
'Bwitish' bonking time.

I'm with you, Rex. I keep a car until it will no longer serve. 
Over here many people change cars every 2 to 4 years. Salt used 
on the roads is tough on the bodies and they rust out fast. You 
can avoid that fate if you take some special care but that costs 
money too. My last car was 12 years old when it finally needed 
so many repairs it didn't make sense to keep it longer. I bought 
the latest model of the very same car which should last me until 
2014!

The present Vauxhall was registered in 1993, we  have done 106,000miles and 
it's fine. No oil leaks, still capable of 100mph if you put your foot down. 
No rust and still doing 50mpg on a motorway run. I just have the feeling 
that things wont go on forever like that so I am looking for an estate car 
about 1 year old with about 6 -8,000 miles on the clock.  Unfortunately the 
same model is now discontinued.

What a difference the climate makes. As I said, up here they use 
salt and brine to keep roads safe in winter which destroys the 
bodywork. Rust takes hold in as little as 4 years on north 
american cars such as GM's and Fords. Typically in the 6-7 year 
time-frame on Toyotas like mine. You can beat it with a lot of 
careful attention or with expensive bodywork but who has the 
time or money? I'm trying a different rust-proofing scheme on my 
latest car - a heavy oil spray annually. Have tried polymers and 
whatnot in the past. So far nothing really beats the rust for 
very long.

In California, the nitric/nitrous oxide air pollution destroys 
all the rubber bits on a car but the bodies look great.

Most schemes to prevent rusting involve spraying some muck into 
the panels and whatnot. Some argue the holes they drill to 
access these areas become the initiation sites for rust! I had 
one car where the rust spray got into the seat belt mechanism 
and it never worked properly afterward. Inevitably there are 
knicks and pops from stones and general wear and tear and the 
rust starts. Then you're done in just a couple of seasons.

I think you're safe from the noxious fumes of southern 
California where you are.

I am very tempted to say the curries but that's not quite true. It's the 
pollution. We are 20 miles west of Liecester and the prevailing wind is from 
that direction.  Our old GP genuinely used to put the high incidence of 
childhood asthma in Rutland, down to that source.
