Sun just broken through, humid. Paths still wet but should dry soon.

Morning Well our two days of nice weather is now reduced to one and a bit. Instead of cold rain we will have warm rain until some arbitrary time in the afternoon. A little weather flash as I am writing has just said the rain will continue for several hours. The forecast last night implied afternoon....

Science takes time, give them time. I am the eternal optimist. With genetics, even the procedures and techniques for the research have had to be and still are being researched and developed. Its not that long since genomes were identified, then each gene has to be analysed to see what it does exactl...

Sue's link. This study is why the BAME groups life style may contribute to them picking up the virus it does nothing to say why genetically their outcome is worse than the white population. The information on the numbers of seriously ill BAME and their general health at the time of hospitalisation ...

Happy Birthday Maz, hope you have, had a good one

Interesting article, research into the obvious issues, but hopefully with positive outcomes

Morning Well yesterday turned out drier than expected but so cold and really windy. Frequent heavy showers made it difficult to dry the washing so it was the drier again. I did my trip to the RANGE and bought the art stuff I needed. It all went very successfully. I was impressed that all the staff w...

I put a lot of weight on when I had a slipped disc, inactivity after a normal active life and the medication. About 8.5 Kg in 9 months. This year with all the gardening, walking and daily pilates etc I have lost nearly 5 kg. My weight is the same as when I was 30, though there is lot more flab aroun...

Correction...2 days

For three to four days according to Rochdale forecast, not exactly summer !

Morning Rain all day yesterday then a sunny evening, too late to take advantage of. Today it is cold, 11-13 degrees maximum with more rain forecast. What a summer ! Yesterday I sewed all day and made two bright and cheerful tops. It was far too wet to venture out after pilates so I consulted the web...

All developed long after I left the world of laboratory analysis. Same for me too, Sue. Ian, Have a look at this and you'll see how complicated such tests are... LINK (Don't worry, I don't understand it either! : I some what understand this link as in my final year of teaching A level, some of this...

I get the impression that posting on tablets is a cause of many problems because I don't have them on the desktop but it's only a guess. Shed, doing final tasks on the cylinder before the final build as it's a self contained unit. Morning Maybe but I don’t have an issue on other sites , Stanley. It...

As a matter of interest I am finding oneguy very slow and temperamental at the moment. Yesterday it would not upload something I wrote, then the next minute I was logged out, but could not get back in. The message ket saying I had had too many attempts but had only had one. It would not accept my pa...

Morning all Yesterday turned out better than expected, after a few heavy showers in the morning, it dried up. Not exactly a sunny day but warm and fairly dry. So much so that we did get a 4.5 mile walk in the afternoon, after we cleaned the house in the morning. Some of the footpaths were very wet a...

My tree has always been public, I have gone on lots of public trees but as far as i am aware you can’t change them. Perhaps the system has changed. I know of a huge error on some trees. I have contacted tree owners to explain and suggested they change it but they have not and I cannot . My maiden na...

No it makes no difference it mentioned that on the testing site I got on to . It was a 20 page document and it was at the end, most not relevant to your question asked.

Ok done some research, its called universal transport medium and I presume it keeps the integrity of the nucleic acids. As far as I can tell it is still a polymerase test which magnifies the amount of nucleic acid present by providing the correct conditions for nucleic acid replication rapidly. The ...

I have absolutely no idea how the test works, i just about understood the polymerase method, with help from my knowledgable daughter. I agree with you about having the test no matter what. Rochdale trialled the walk in centres which of course resulted in more positive results, which is good to know ...

My tree is not on Ancestry, so no-one will find the extent of my research. In the early days, I did start a tree on Ancestry, but it was quickly taken( pilfered) by lazy people, who then put in false information, so I took it down, as it was no longer correct. I made a complaint, but it was not dea...

Unfortunately, I love history and am incredibly inquisitive... But yes, it needs to be condensed and the bulk thrown away. I have spent way too much on printer ink over the past 10 years! My thoughts exactly Maz, I too love history but had to drop it at school to follow my dream of studying medicin...

Morning all If I could commit it all to memory, I would throw the lot, Tizzy. That is why I write my books Maz. Well after a lovely day yesterday, today is back to rain, rain, rain. My poor veggie plants desperately need some sun and lots of it. Apparently our veggies in France are doing well. Our n...

Morning all Sun this morning, will it last. Temperatures are supposed to reach 21 degrees, now THAT would be a surprise. It was yet another wet dreary day yesterday. I finished the instructions for the shorts and top and in view of the rain drove to the post office, thats a first since we came back ...

Morning all You could get a bus pass Stanley even if you don’t use it. It is free. My Dad had one, but never used a bus in later years as he used his mobility scooter, being disabled. It was a good sewing morning yesterday. I got the shorts and top finished, and later in the day the instructions par...

I have bus pass and now post 70 a driving licence. I do carry a copy of the photo page of my passport and have used that a few times. As you say, no one actually looks anyway, except a french bureaucrat .
