Positive yes, we had been worrying about an upcoming visit to see the consultant because they have Covid 19 patients at Addenbrookes which is always heaving, likewise use of jam packed lifts (Chris cant use stairs) So it was great news today when our research nurse rang to say she had arranged a phone consultation with the specialist. YIPPEE! THANKS FOR THAT CARLOTTA. Phil

4 x wings ..... I didn't know they made bi-plane gliders No, being 25m wing span, the wings are in 4 pieces, an inner and outer panel for each side. If the wings were 1 piece each side, the trailer would have to be 12.5metres (actually more like 13.5m, due to the spar overlap) plus the drawbar etc, making it a very very long trailer. And the wings would be unfeasibly heavy to rig (they are already very heavy!)

I sincerely hope you are not in the business of showing off and exaggerating - that is not how I had perceived you.

On a whim I decided to up the usual 4 mile daily kayak to 6. Hard work it was, especially as I had to duck under 3 lift/ swing bridges each way and I suffer from lower back pain. Managed it though, no new aches or pains this morning.

I am in the process of transferring my pension fund from a contributory savings scheme to a drawdown pension plan. The fund is in equities. The surrender value of the fund has dropped 3% over the past 3 months - I couldn't believe my good fortune, what with the FTSE dropping by about 35% over the same period. The funds will be held in a cash account until the indicators are right for investment.
HOORAY !!
PS : let's hope I live long enough to enjoy it.

This morning I made a new breakfast for Ellis.... basically, take a spud, grate it... push about 1/4 inch layer in the bottom of a muffin tin (12 in all) and then bung in the oven for 10 mins (ish)... take out, and drizzle a few baked beans in, a bit of cooked sausage, bacon - then pour in beaten egg to fill to level .. bit of grated cheese on top and back in the oven for 5 mins.
The result - little muffin mini breakfasts... 3 each should be enough on a plate - perhaps with a bit of rocket on top.
yummy
