Too hot to think about anything today, and it’s supposed to get worse as the week goes on.
Looks fairly predictable that once my BP drops into the 140s, my heart rate is up around 100bpm. I’m really not sure that’s healthy given that for quite some time prior to taking any meds my resting heart rate was mid-50s to low 60s.
I noticed them whilst I was trying to find somewhere outdoors where I could hide from the Sun and get some gardening done. They’re quite hard to see in this photo, but there must have been many hundreds of them, all heading off in the same direction.
I’m amazed so many of these even make it as far as the kitchen to be honest. I love them straight off the plant and out of the pod 😀
I’m going to have to look into the possibility of planting peas in the polytunnel for an early/late crop.
And where it stops, nobody knows…
This is actually morning, early afternoon, late afternoon. When I go back to see the GP on Friday I’m going to have to ask why there appears to be an inverse correlation between BP and heart rate.
Forgot most readings other than this one in the morning. Good to see the old ticker can still belt it out when it’s in the mood 😀
What are we going to do tonight?
The same thing we do every night, Pinky. Try to take over the world.
Basically: “We have so much money that we don’t have to give a monkeys about our customers and can do what we like”.
Not just Virgin, either. BT and Royal Mail also get dishonourable mentions.
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:
