Bustard little runt of a dog attacked her yesterday afternoon. It was on a lead with not friendly or something on a yellow flash, so we walked Asha (off lead) next to us completely the other side of the path, with us between the dogs.
Stupid runt was on an extending lead that wasn't locked off, went for her so Asha ran around my legs squealing. I managed to knock runt away then owner pulled it off, apologising...
Don't have an agressive dog on a lead you can't control it with..
She's OK today was quite upset last night

Poor Asha!!! People really shouldn't have dogs if they can't control them.
Yesterday morning I drove and walked round Newbury gathering stuff for an afternoon of DIY.
Yesterday afternoon I drove and walked round Newbury retracing my steps hoping to find my GTN* spray.
You know that thing 'it was in the last place I looked'? That usually works because, when you find it, you stop looking. With me, I found in the last place on the list. B&Q. There was nowhere else.
* GTN - Glyceryl trinitrate is a spray used to relieve the pain of angina (pain or discomfort usually felt in the chest but may also be felt in the jaw, throat, one or both arms, shoulders or back). It helps to open the coronary arteries and improve the blood supply to the heart muscle.

Ooo Dicky, I have 3 of those strategically placed in case of attack. Not used mine for a good year now. They do go out of date.
Happy Sunday all.
Not as bad but Mrs B has puffers everywhere for when she gets breathless, aftermath of her pleurisy, broncial pneumonia etc a fews years back and subsequent chest infections including that 100 days cough/whooping cough varient this year.Happy Sunday all.
Any how, bright and sunny here. Off to walk Asha then the car boot...

I've only just reverted to the spray. My GP prescribed it a couple of weeks ago. My appointment with the Cardiology Dept is on Wednesday and I didn't quite make it without angina symptoms. My bypass operation was a year ago today and I'm going back because my recovery stalled. I set myself a target of 10,000 paces a day, including a two mile walk, which I worked up to from a starting point of the doors at the end of the ward and back assisted by a nurse. Having got to 10,000 paces per day, it all started to deteriorate. Where I imagined the up graph of my recovery meeting the down graph of my inevitable age-related decline, I thought the graph would plateau. It didn't. Things got harder, i can't now walk two miles without a rest, plus I'm puffing and panting and having angina symptoms at the drop of a hat."Have another bypass."
"Must I? Don't Redex make something suitable?"

Wow that’s some gear! I’m surprised the makers of those little blue pills haven’t cottoned on to the competition!

Sorry to hear things are troublesome for you at the moment. I feel sure things will get better, at least you are having regular attention. All the best my friend.
Good morning everyone. We’ve had rain in the night and now it’s sunny.
Madam M has been downt farm and fetched 3 litres of cows milk,fresh like! She’s just eaten her breakfast with said milk that was still warm from cow Mable number 52!
A busy week ahead as we have guests the following week so I need to get get everywhere cut and trimmed as tight as I dare in order to spend quality time with them. I also have to prepare Chris n Bev’s place half way through the week that my guests are here. I like to have their garden absolutely bob on for when they drive through their gates as I know they will have people come stay during July and August and after all they do pay me for doing it.
Our guests are Tim and Lorna. Tim is my oldest pal, since he was born really as our folks were neighbours and friends. He’s has stood beside me when he really shouldn’t have in past years and is regarded by all that know him as a top chap.
He likes a motor does Tim and I’ve lost count of how many he’s owned over the years but it’s an awful amount.
Fun and reminiscing will be had im sure.
Have a great Sunday everyone.
Fout.

I went for a 100-mile ride yesterday and averaged 71.7mpg on my Africa Twin. I think I'd get punched if I posted this in Biker Banter, so I'm hoping this is a save haven for the most tedious of facts.
100 miles. Not Paris-Dakar, then?Only a 2.024 on the Triv-O-Meter but a solid 7.170 on the Tedi-O-Meter.
So, neither trivial nor fully tedious according to the guages.
Good, steady work.

My sympathies go out to you Dicky, it’s serious stuff this angina business and needs careful monitoring. It’s very painful when it comes on and you just don’t know where to put yourself or what to do for comfort. The spray works wonders but gives me terrible migraines. It helps me fall asleep and slow everything down. I carry it with me but haven’t had to use it for 12 months now. I had 4 stents done in two separate ops and with medication and exercise, hence the golf, all is well for the time being. I was close to having a bypass as one of my arteries was 95% blocked.

That's very kind, hammo, thanks. Oddly, none of what I experienced has been painful, not even the operation. The thick end of uncomfortable is my worst. Okay, sometimes moving awkwardly after the op made me yipe, but mostly just discomfort. Very lucky. It took me a while to register the two blue lights and sirens runs and doctors and nurses using the word emergency a lot meant I was in real trouble.

This boy lives in a dream world and would do well to pay attention. - School Report 1968
Too late to change now.
For a long time I have been threatening to launch my cat into space, often at 4 or 5am. I don't actually have the means to get her there, but she doesn't necessarily know that.
I have been telling her it would be a great opportunity for her, she could be the first cat in space. I knew they had launched dogs and monkeys into space but never heard of cat.
Last night I looked it up, turns out the first cat in space was in 1963
https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/F%C3%A9licette
This was part of a French space program to send stray Parisian cats into space.
They attached electrodes to the cats brain so they could measure brain activity which is unpleasant but I can understand, they also attached electrodes to the legs and used them to repeatedly electrocute the cat throughout the flight which I didn't understand.
After a 13 minute flight with 5 minutes of weightlessness in suborbital space flight the cat was safely returned back to earth which I was not expecting, I thought most of these animal test flights were 1 way trips but turns out there was usually at least the intention to return them safely and they were often successful.
2 months after her safe return however they decided to execute her so they could examine her brain.
Now I will threaten to send my cat to France in stead.
