    Beautiful blue skies here, which makes a massive change from yesterday. Currently finishing off my coffee before donning the runners to take myself off for a jaunt.

    @Guy hope your Mammies results bring some good news x

    @ Guy: Garfield is always a brilliant way to start the week Guy, thank you for that.

    Glad you seem to be feeling better yourself. Still a lot of worry about your Mum. Her temperature is down so that's a sliver of hope, at least.

    All is well here. Back in my Gotham gear and feeling energetic and hopeful as a result which does seem to be a contradiction but I think it says something about our essential nature, or mine at least.

    Waiting on my shopping drop off and my glimpse of OH. Today I'm going to do something I know I'll regret. For an IBS sufferer it's the gastronomic equivalent of commiting adultery with your long term, most secret of secret but sweetest of crushes. Yes. I'm going to have WHITE BREAD TOAST AND REAL BUTTER. I know this will cause a great deal of pain. And the 'toxic fallout' will last a long, long time after. But oooh, the indulgence, the blissful pleasure of those few precious minutes of unbridled indulgence with my longed for forbidden temptation. .... It will be worth it, won't it?

    Probably! I've multiple gastro issues and a very severely restricted diet. Every so often I decide to eat something "bold" that I know will throw me off - like the food equivalent of a really bad hangover. Last one was a couple of slices of home-grown cucumber last summer that left me in pain and on liquids only for three days, but it was was worth it. I'd never go mad and have something that'd hospitalise me (I've a lot of food in that category), but it's so hard to keep to a diet. If you go for it, luxuriate in eating that toast!


    I am deskside, remembering how much I hate working from home. Sun is shining, though, so I think I'm going to outside with a book shortly to give myself a bit of a tech-break.

    Homeside identifying with the second Garfield. I'm lazily making my way through a few things for work, I could be finished if it wasn't for my complete lack of interest. I just feel like reality has been suspended and it's all futile.

    Glad to hear your mother is stable, Guy, I hope she improves.

    Today's excitement will be waiting for Sardonicat's update in the etiquette thread after her toast!

    Here's your sister! IBS sufferer myself although FODMAP has quite literally changed my life. The best thing I've noticed about it though is that if I do eat something that makes my insides hate me, the ill effects don't last as long as previously. Not that I do it all that often, but it also isn't as horrendous if I do stray from my safety net. If that makes sense? ENJOY! (And hope you have sufficient TP/baby wipes for any repercussions haha!)

    Got in the walk before the rain poured. Couch side, coffee holding with the cat on my lap. AHHHH happiness is....!

    I also suffer with the dreaded IBS but because I can be an emotional eater as well it can be tricky. I don't have the discipline or self control to do FODMAP.

    A fellow IBS sufferer here (form an orderly queue ladies). The FODMAP diet is great but I'm also an emotional eater which is why I passed a few hours baking brownies and scones this morning. It's way too much for one Person so slide your plates over and please don't steal my identity using metadata or whatever it is.

    Hear that. I ended up in hospital for around 4 months last year so I had no other choice but to try FODMAP. Best thing I did for it. Good luck x

    Someone close to me has chronic digestive issues, quite a difficult thing for anyone to manage.

    Googling flour in bulk since baking is a daily occupation now. Thinking of using an organic Irish flour mill as they don't bleach their white flour. Also might as well order cocoa powder in bulk as I have caught Brownie fever
    Next thing I need to master is bread making.

    I found a container of bread yeast, unopened. Feeling rich! :D

    The borrowed cordless drill is needed somewhere else tomorrow. So the photo safari has to wait. At least it’s sunny and warm outside. And there is a nice salad of mini romana, radish and onions waiting in the fridge.😋😂

    It appears the public will be asked to take the c19 test soon.
    All of them.
    *maybe*.
    So it seems from something I received by email today.
    I suppose it is a good thing.

    Nice brighter evenings now. Two months ago it was miserably dark at this sort of time of day.

    Packing in the garden planning for today and drinking tea and just looking out at the garden. Garden planning for food is something that needs 2 people to be enjoyable. Like tv watching. Oh's mum's still not well at all, but not critically ill thank goodness. I miss him badly.

    Widders (and everyone), be very careful about opening emails with attachments or links in emails pertaining to COVID / Coronavirus. There's a bunch of bad bast@rds out there exploiting peoples worries and fears and infecting their machines with ransomware and other nasties! So be super cautious.
    Currently deskside. Demo for the global team is done, it all worked (miraculously). I have a wonderous sense of relief right now and I am gonna have fish and chips for dinner to pat myself on the back :D

    It's ok, I know the source, connected to the HSE. The email was about preparing people (for eg. People with dementia or learning disabilities) for the test.

    I havent eaten fish and chips since last July. Best of all fast food. Enjoy :)

    Tremendous! Then there's no worries. I don't want the test, it looks very uncomfortable. All that poking around at the throat, I'll puke! :eek::pac:

    I eat fishy chippy too often I must admit! :D It never stops being a treat! Also, left over chip butty sambos with loads butter! Mmmmmmmmm #davesheartisgonnaexplode

    Have you tried playing around with ( what I guess is the coeliac ) tool kit of things like rice flour ( fantastic for non bread baking - generally cooks a little quicker than ordinary flour so reduce cooking times a tad ) gram flour, and gluten free flour mixes ? ..... tho GF flours for breads aint so handy IME.

    It's not me, its a relative with gastric issues but I know that they haven't tried any different flours or exclusion diets. Just incorporating some foods which are supposed to be beneficial. They haven't been diagnosed yet, but they could still give these a try, thanks very much :)

    Deskside. Actually got loads of work done for a change :)

    Lots of news topics on "immunity/survived-covid" passports and travel/work papers Germany, Denmark, US all looking into it, so I'd say it will happen.

    It's inherently unfair and discriminatory until there is a vaccine identified - especially if the virus favours one gender, race, blood-type, or those whose defences may prove to have been strengthened by a BCG shot. Nothing fair about any of this though and you can see how it's a reasonable approach to attempting a balance between protecting vulnerable and the economy
    But it freaks me out a bit when you think of all of your bio information now being linked to your passport and ability to move freely/shop/work etc.

    Grrr, I've just broken my self imposed coronavirus ban :o Back to kitten pictures stat. And cake :p

    Hope all are keeping well. Haven’t been here for a while and for the silliest reason … I was provoked into a bet by another Boardsie that I would not post for a week. This little betting Bumbóg was determined to avoid losing (the forfeit was a risky one) so the drinks are on me tonight! I must admit that it was not easy, especially when “The Gambler” seemed to be playing on the radio every day! I’m buzzing off now to catch up on all the happenings on my favourite thread & to celebrate. Have a great evening Wherers wherever ye are!

    Just came in from tying and training a crooked tree. Lots of bees bouncing from flower to flower on the Lady in a Bath plant. Smaller than bumbles, might be honey bees :)
    The road near my house has been the quietest it's been in a long time. There's a really lonely feeling around.

Saw two kids from different houses out with a Daddy that doesn't live in either of them. That's three different houses up close and personal.

    I have a threadmill. I'll stick to that and Disney+.:D

    I've now given up on my runs G, I was getting too annoyed at all of the people milling about still. I even tried waiting until after dusk but that started to feel like I was in a weird world inhabited entirely by teenagers either on bikes in gangs or skulking around eating the faces off each other on street corners away from their parents prying eyes. :D They really do exist on a different plant (or should) :p

    Burgers for dinner here, yippee...

    Oh ffs...friend showed me a post in a group...this woman ranting that c19 comes from bats so they should "just kill all the bats".

    Not sure if I've caused confusion r.e testing...I got an email from the HSE sent out to carers, about preparing people to be tested, "in case" they are asked to take the test. It said "more people may be asked to take the test". Its a bit ambiguous but looked to me like people without symptoms would be part of that.
