when the corrupt ex-head of FIFA calls out the current head of FIFA for being corrupt.
I guess that’s the way the world is these days though. These people make the rules, but they’re for everyone else to follow whilst they do whatever the fuck they want (and often lie about it before and after).
I don’t actually give a monkeys about football, but it would be sweet to see the USA lose to Belgium today just to show the orange orang utan that cheating doesn’t always mean you win.
That’s certainly the impression Robert Jenrick MP (moron in parliament) seemed to give yesterday and there have been many comments on social media about it since, in particular pointing out that the paper has almost always supported the Conservatives at general elections.
What everyone seems to be forgetting however is that Jenrick is a member of Reform UK Ltd. and therefore the Sunday Times is generally going to be way to the left of any views that he and his puppet master hold.
Though granted it could just be down to Jenrick being as thick as mince.
I’ve not got much done in the last few days because of the blood pressure meds issues. This evening however I got out into the polytunnel and did some watering and removed sideshoots as well as snipping off some of the leaves below fruit trusses that had finished flowering.
At the same time I harvested this tiny sweet pepper, which I believe was on the plant even before I planted it out.
And, as we ran out of coleslaw today, I picked a cabbage to make some more.
It’s a fairly hefty one, but way smaller than my personal best from 2023:
Today it occurred to me that I could get my own back on the squirrels who have had pretty much every walnut that has ever appeared on my tree by picking them early and pickling them, as I believe they have to be pickled before the shell starts to form.
I picked one and cut it open just to see what they looked like.
I think they might need a little longer, but I’ve never done this before so I’m going to have to do a bit of research first.
I’ve really no idea what was going on here. This is my first full day on the Ramipril (still with Lacidipine, too). I felt absolutely wiped out and hardly managed to do anything.
Morning reading. Unexpectedly low compared with previously, but acceptable.
Early afternoon. What?!
Evening. Back up (fortunately), though still considerably lower than previously. I’m sure I can live with that though.
If it continues like this though, I shall be visiting the GP again before my appointment on Friday.
Another Dog Vomit Fungus. Two days before I took this picture, when I was weeding in the polycrub, there was no sign of it. Now it is about 50cm across!
It’s a slow job, but a friend came to help out today…
of a certain wedding in New York this weekend, I thought I should offer my own “shorthand” for referring to the happy couple:
Traylor
You heard it here first.
Well, not entirely. The first reading was this morning before I took the Lacidipine.
Then early afternoon, not long after taking 5mg Ramipril.
And this evening.
I don’t want to get my hopes up too far, but that is much more promising. Ok, so the figure is still high, but I don’t feel awful at a BP that has been unpleasant on Lacidipine alone, and my heart rate is somewhere I’m much happier with it.
My BP measurements for yesterday. Probably not that relevant now my meds are being changed.
