Spring cleaning stuff. Made a start on jet washing the yard. Sally wants her new mini greenhouse setting up which has a knock on to other jobs. Its sits against our neighbours kitchen wall, and as that is the full length of our yard we look after the stone paint on it, brilliant white. Our backyard ...

Rishi Sunak's flagship Rwanda bill is set to become law after five months of Westminster wrangling. It designates Rwanda a safe country and is a key part of the government's plans to send some asylum seekers there. The bill has been fiercely criticised by opposition parties but after several debate...

I had a new 27mm cows tissue valve fitted at the end of July in Leeds General Infirmary (a place that I know Ian is familiar with) and felt nearly back to normal a couple of months later. The valve should last 10 to 20 years with the chance of having a further valve inserted into the centre of the ...

A damning report - we know the smart motorways are dangerous, here's more evidence, yet National Highways denies there is anything wrong. Think Post Office, Grenfell, water companies, Rwanda etc etc. What's gone wrong with the people who are supposed to be running our country? It's like they live o...

We have just finished season 2 of that also Stanley. Ended on an "up" rather than the shock "downer" of the first series. I hope there is another series the characters and side stories have lots of potential mileage in them yet.

I think the first scan results were in about 10 days.

When I go to Leeds for my MRI scans, the results are usually in about 3 - 4 weeks for me.

We had Spaghetti Bolognese tonight Kev also, more conventional. Meat for me and a veggie version for Sally, with Pesto and Parmesan of course.

Happy Birthday Pete have a good one as they say.

Just been in the CAT Scanner again in the car park at Asda. For the follow up to the first one I had in January in the Lung Health Check program. I was the first one on after lunch, 2 passes in the scanner, all done in 5 minutes.

Could be Kev as if you do a command line traceroute it does not fully resolve to the IP address of the VPS. It comes back to what I have said multiple times though, expect anything during what are regarded as normal downtime hours, Midnight to 6am probably universally scheduled for maintenance on in...

I am in the unenviable position of having to work with what I have got when the site has problems. I go with the majority experience and the available evidence that is available through tests, logs or remedial actions. It's common practice in fault finding and is how I was taught when studying for m...

What can I say, these server logs don't support your experience. They cover the period in question 19th to 20th. First is the server CPU and the second is RAM usage. No drop outs recorded, a fairly constant state on both.

I have said this before. Your morning Stanley is not the same as most other folks. You tend to be on the site during what is normally regarded as maintenance time by hosting providers. Without keeping the same hours as you I can't be certain but the logs don't support your experience of the site. It...

Just had a look and there are no messages on the IONOS site. CPU is currently ticking over at 20% in the virtual world

It's working fine for me, could potentially have been the Ionos upgrade impacting Stanley. I've not been in and had a look to see if it's been done. I have not had any notification from IONOS and they did say they would give notice before the migration. The server will have to be shut down complete...

His email address fits.

I have seen the Physicians Associate twice at our surgery. OK but they can't prescribe anything only suggest. Not heard of Community Matron though, any relation to the old District Nurses perhaps?

I got the "Z" reserve wrong. He was eligible for recall until age 45 which on demob in April 1946 would be until 1963. He was actually discharged from reserve liability on the 30th June 1959 when he had just turned 41 years of age. I suppose he could have ended up in Korea or various other...

At our trustees meeting last night we had an hour with our architect that is handling our new property, shop and community centre conversion for us. We have had the property now for 12 months with no progress and we found out why last night. We had the plans in the late summer last year and they wen...

Good idea to have a fall back. Thanks Wendy. We could also hang out here when IONOS shifts the server instance.

The Server CPU is 100% saturated which is why its busted. I had 6 hours chasing yesterday and tried a lot of solutions to no avail. Will have another go today. Users should be aware that the site will be subject to outages not related to the current issue. This could be anytime from tomorrow and ove...

Spoke too soon, ramped up again. We are being plagued by a Spam server that is resistive to firewall rules.

CPU is now registering in the green, need to see how it goes for a while to get a better picture. I may go for a server restart.

Aching in various parts but she has the medication to take the edge off. Doctor at the hospital said it would take a few weeks to abate.

On a quick check the server CPU has a critical warning it is ramped up at 98%

Will have a poke about.
