Good morning everyone,
If you find your fit bit is mis recording non-steps try wearing it round your bra/vest strap with the device tucked into your bra/vest next to your skin. I have the opposite problem, as a zimmer user it doesn't always pick up my steps and I found this tip on a forum on the fit bit site. Apparently they don't always pick up if you are pushing something and this was the solution suggested. It seems to work well.
More rain for us for today but fingers crossed it will be dry as forecast tomorrow.
The Greek-style stuffed veg my DIL-to-be made were gorgeous there were loads though so plenty leftover for lunch today.
This afternoon I need to spend some time on out of school club stuff, it is very unclear rules we will be working to from mid-July and when the schools go back so I want to do some number crunching with various scenarios to see how they impact on us. To say whoever produced the guidance we have so far needs a lesson in plain English is an understatement! I've only looked at the first page and have spotted two contradictions already

jrc Try not to overdo it although I can imagine that could be part of your displacement activity to try to stop you from thinking too much.

Sue, sorry you're having the fatigues One of my friends who had Covid not only had recurrences of it once she thought she was over it, but has also had potentially long-term heart issues. She's been monitored doing exercise at the hospital and will be having a cardiac catheterisation when she's completed another 14 days self-isolation.

do you sleep on your left?
the friend wearing out the swimsuit isn't as bizarre as it would seem - unless she uses 'endurance' type ones, then it would be bizarre.
with ordinary lycra style ones they are usually worn with only a couple of finger's width stretch at the shoulder so that they don't bag in the water. it means that that part of the costume, with less fabric on the upper part, at the back, gets a bit more 'pulling' stress - added to that the stretch across the bum (including the movement due to kicking) and the degradation to any chlorination it is a weaker point on the costume - as is the stretch across the bust. it's often the reason for club swimmers to wear double costumes.

Yes, I do sleep on my left side, that would explain it. Interesting about the swimsuit thing, but entirely logical when you explain it! I will tell said friend It never ceases to amaze me what accumulated knowledge we have on here

I got an email and a text from John Lewis/DHL saying that my laptop is arriving today between 17.46 and 18.46. That's incrediby fast given that I only ordered it on Monday evening.

Have a good day everyone, dry atm but apparently rain promised later. Avocado and salad for lunch, not sure about supper yet. Possibly roast cauliflower with tahini and lemon dressing ...

Morning.

Not very focussed this moring, but have had a useful meeting. Tentatively looking at the possiblity of going ot our house in France in September. Also possibly an overnighter to the place we stayed in in upper Normandy last Deccember a bit sooner. Maybe. (re the latter. Definitely re our hosue in France if we can.)

Husband wants to go to the hosue sooner, but I can't really leave all my plants... he can go on his own

Back to salvias, I have had one which had thrived in the rubbish soil of the front garden for the last few years. Three new ones this year planted out the back. I had better double check their hardiness. I was going to have a go at taking cuttings. I already took one accidentally (knocked some stems off while planting out and put im water. One has worked and is doing well.)

edit: eek two of them are tender perennials. Is digging up the only solution?

Question is, can I remember which is which? I *think* so...

I've just had a surprise. A letter from what used to be the Inland Revenue saying I have paid too much tax!

f you find your fit bit is mis recording non-steps try wearing it round your bra/vest strap with the device tucked into your bra/vest next to your skin

I’ll give that a try - that will solve two other issues, which are that I don’t really like having it on my right wrist when my “proper” watch it on my left, and I’m worried about getting it wet when I wash my hands as it’s definitely not water resistant
Just need to work out how to attach it, as this strap is too stiff and bulky

Only if you have a tall board Pampy - & wide - I'm a Tall Lush & the back aches on 'bendy' small ones - plus I need a good bottle of red to keep me plus the ironing company.…………….. 'Tis true..........!!!!

Can't do the board but definitely the vino! Nuits St Georges do you?

My strap is quite stiff too, I just fasten it round the bra strap on the tightest notch and tuck the device in top of my bra IFYSWIM. It's quite loose and does twist round sometimes but not at all uncomfortable. The recommended that you use your heart side so you might need to change your account settings if you do that.

Nuits will do very nicely Pampy
Just don't ask me to iron those teeny thongs you like to wear......!

Do they want all your bank details so they can pay you?

Think I would ask them to send me a cheque

This happened to me. I just left it and a few weeks later they did send me a cheque!

[Earthmaiden Profile]

no, it's genuine. I shall await the cheque.

How exciting to have your new computer, KC2!

Had a lovely 4 mile walk this afternoon - a different local walk yet again! Afterwards I filled the car with petrol for the first time since early March. Very impressed with the setup, they had plastic bags to put over hands like gloves and sanitiser inside the shop.

And the fuel is cheaper than it was back then EM!

Good evening campers would you believe had princess Diana lived she would be 59 today, how time flies. It’s raining, surprise surprise.

There is an HMRC website where you can transfer your refund to your bank, but if you ignore it, they send you a cheque about a month later.

I tried the website but it wouldn't work for me.

Bonjour Mon amis! Vous été en Epinal en France a ce moment..... But onwards towards Austria today which will be the testing point as far as entry is concerned. We both tested negative for CV before leaving UK and should stand us in good stead for entry into some concerned countries but time will tell. We have NHS proof with us so fingers crossed.

We 'think' we will drive rather than ferry the Italy portion as we don't know if they are full, running, not running. Only need the ferry from Piraeus to Rhodes and hopefully that will have space when we need it.

Good Morning Campers, guess who over slept?
It is going to be a long journey Zosh, I hope that you packed sandwiches and a flask
