Best song I've heard in these times was Ronan Collins playing, The Police, Don't stand, don't stand, so close to me.

Going to get the rake rotor tyres put tubeless and put that stuff into it. Serious pain when they go them go soft. Holds everything up while getting it fixed

Instead of changing the tyres, could you not put the OKO into the existing tubes?

They will fit some smaller JCB dumpers as well.

Do you find the Jcb good? I'm on the look out for a black or grey cab myself for a while...

I'm in self isolation
As the day went on my throat started to feel a bit different. I'm gonna see how things are later or in the morning. No other symptoms that I can see but better be safe I suppose

It worked perfectly in the back wheel of a tractor I have.
Took 3 bottles, but put it into the tube and so far, so good. 2 years ago now.
Was a plague of a thing, some times go down overnight, sometimes took a week.

Yeah, I like it.
If you are filling feeder wagons they aren't really able to lift high enough.
A telescopic of some kind will run rings around them.
If you need to do any digging or grading they are very versatile.
No good if you have low sheds, back arm is about 12 feet high.

One thing in all this cv business is that more pensioners will be going direct with their state pensions into their bank account.
There's some poor folks used to like going to the post office and getting the cash in hand. Now with this cv business they're looking to get a bank card for the first time in their lives.
The social fabric of society is being changed fast away from the remaining post offices.
With all these extra cards in circulation it's imperative that broadband is finally rolled out to everyone to get the real value from a card. But that brings it's own change to possibly harm local business or maybe not but it's all talk for another time.

Remember Amazon have said they aren’t shipping normal goods but focusing on medical supplies only.

Not sure about that. The news I saw said they were only accepting deliveries of medical-related products *into* their warehouses - nothing about not shipping other goods.

I was driving home last night listening to John Creedon on radio 1 and he played some brilliant Irish songs for St. Patrick's day. Worth a listen for us elder lemons.

After you brush your teeth at bedtime, gargle your throat for a minute with either Listerene or Oraldene. If you don't have either of these, use salty water. Works everytime for me.

Right. It's mainly thorns that do it being pulled out from the ditch. Only small wheels tho

Lime Tree Farm

Every calving season I suffer from aches and pains. Last year it was my right forearm and lower back, this year both forearms and my right hip. None of the Pain meds gave relief.

I had a packet of Kombu seaweed I bought some time back. For the past 2 weeks I have been chewing on a leaf or two every day, nice and salty. One thing I have noticed the aches and pains have all but disappeared. Coincidence or what, could seaweed have anti inflammatory properties.

Esel

Could it be the salt?

Water John

Most of us have too much salt in our diet. Certainly it would have a wide selection of minerals. Don't know about the antinflammatories.
Ha Lime Tree might also need precalver minerals.

Esel

Possibly other electrolytes then? I'm just speculating here...

Edit: from Wikipedia

Nutrition and health effects

Kombu is a good source of glutamic acid, an amino acid responsible for umami (the Japanese word used for a basic taste identified in 1908). Several foodstuffs in addition to kombu provide glutamic acid or glutamates.

Kombu contains extremely high levels of iodine. While this mineral is essential for normal growth and development, the levels in kombu can cause overdoses; it has been blamed for thyroid problems after drinking large amounts of soy milk in which kombu was an additive.[15]

It is also a source of dietary fiber. Algae including kombu also contain entire families[16] of obscure enzymes that break down complex sugars that are normally indigestible to the human gut (thus gas-causing), including the well-studied alpha-galactosidase and beta-galactosidase.[17]

Apparently, Kombu is a kelp, so an Irish kelp might be as good, and possibly a fair bit cheaper?

Possibly magnesium, that’s what gives achy muscles in recovery from exercise. Stops cramps etc.

12% magnesium apparently.

It's probably the whole collection of major and minor elements that you get as well with marine food overall.

Next thing Lime tree farm will be posting about vivid dreams he's having on the stuff!!

I'd increase the protein in my diet if I was you...

Ha.
I was recommended a supplement with magnesium and zinc to help me sleep, zma.

It did but after maybe two weeks of taking it, the vividness of the nightmares left me sitting up trying not to sleep. Mad stuff altogether, I take it an odd time now but no more than 4-5 nights in a row. It’s actually an exercise recovery supplement.

I must chance it. At least 3 by the time I get to sleep. Last night it was after 5. Up a few hours later. At a time when my immune system needs to be near 100%, it's not good. Cut out all coffee and crappy food etc.

It's not night terrors you're getting? I'm expecting them nearly every night as I used get them a lot. They are a terrifying experience.

Say my name

I take a few grains of sea salt everyday.
I kinda started after I read it in a Korean natural farming book.

But the second week in jeez I started with these dreams. I'd wake up in the morning not knowing were they real or not. It was really bugging me. But I backed off the sea salt a little and it passed.

Now lime tree you've all that ahead of you.

* there's some alternative people who take ormus, a concentrated sea water product (one or two drops a day) and the way they convince themselves it's a positive thing is by saying it's their third eye opening and they have even greater powers of intuition.. so now!!

I take it now if I’m on a bad streak, usually few doses helps.

If that doesn’t work I have a script filled by GP and that always works. I had to get a script as I was just falling to pieces with insomnia, with the related anxiety issues that it brings.

Use it here on tube and tubeless tyres. Just pull out any nails you see sticking through tyres though as I'm sure they won't do tube any good if left in, hole will seal but you might want to drive around a bit.

Edit: found an add especially for you. I'm sure most Defender tyres fitted to the steal rims are tube type.
