    Later I'm attending a Zoom presentation from my local history group in which we're being treated to a history of food labeling by a local doyen of such matters with over 40 years in that particular industry and will be covering topics such as the fallout from the E is for E Numbers revolution back in the '80s and its implications to the industry right the way through to the more recent traffic light system of food labeling. Should be fascinating.

    In terms of the colour, what LM posted I think is a bit more accurate for now, let's see how it looks tomorrow.
    Thought I had a bit more tolerance to it but I guess few years in the uk does this to you...

    That's crap. A sunny bank holiday weekend without a beer is sad indeed.

    Get well soon!

    Menieres is nasty (diagnosed in 2013) and drop attacks can make it much worse depending on what happens when you fall! I cracked my head open on the side of a radiator once

    What did she prescribe you?

    Watched PR1 on Saturday. Highly enjoyable. So silly. As was Turbo this evening.

    On the intellectual side, I've nearly finished reading The Outer Limits of Reason: What Science, Mathematics, and Logic Cannot Tell Us by Noson S. Yanofsky

    PS Or is that 3 days 17 hrs 21min?
    Reading not your strong point? I'll try it again .... "4 1/2 hour walk on Saturday, 3 1/2 hour cycle today." Let's see if you can work it out
