I don't know where we're going, but we know where we are? (Part whatever)

They didn't coz I haven't said anything. I recently had some blood tests and seems my allergies have dissipated. So not going to stress about it as will be wearing a mask anyway.

Back home after a long day at hospital. No broken bones but bruised ribs. How it happened is anyones guess . No recent falls. A mystery how it happened.

You're old so you probably sneezed wrong 😂😂🤣

Ah no joking aside glad you are ok.

Order in a takeaway and put your feet up.

Get well soon. Bruised ribs can be pretty nasty, had that experience myself after my fall in Munich last year. Take it easy and don't try to do too much too quickly. These things take time to heal.

You're laughing, but I actually managed that feat a few years ago. In bed, had a really big sneeze and next thing I know it felt like an ill-tempered rhino had headhunted me in the chest...

Homeside here, trying to get a blog post going... again... I hate writer's block

The old city is beautiful.

Same here. 200 quid more and no move on it from any other insurer. Pricks! Older in age and older car.

In other news I just booked Duran Duran tickets for the 3 Arena in May. All of us going. Just need a hotel to make a real night of it and we will! Ms G's second live gig within a couple of weeks. She knows the words. Raised on them!

Very cold in the leaba tonight. No forward planning due to distractions. Leccie blanky heating up along with body heat. Hard to type as my arms drape over Mrs G. Goin back under the duvet now. Much warmerl!

Just in leaba here, just turned off the heating now so it's very cosy, pjs, dressing gown and socks on as a back up.☺️

Just watched the first episode of a new series on BBC, it's a trama medical one, probably the best medical programme I've ever watched, absolutely fascinating, a must watch for anyone interested in that subject, I'm genuinely blown away by it.

Stayed up way too late, there'll be serious cursing when the alarm goes off.

I’m just after watching a thing on YouTube about drones.

a brilliant invention for the emergency services…police forces, mountain rescue, Search and Rescue / Maritime patrols, certain businesses such as security, construction, the media etc.

but I for the life of me can’t see the appeal for the amateur hobby person….to spend that cash, go to X location and fly it around….

Seems like it’s around 600-2500 euros for the more quality and reliable models… actually one is 4800…so….

each to their own but I can only personally see a very limited scope for value and enjoyment out of this drone fetish.

don’t get me started on clowns worldwide that have been using them in close proximity to airports and motorways, they seem to attract some rather stupid oddballs in their army of ‘enthusiasts’…

You know, you could just ask the drone pilot you have on this thread.😉

I get where you're coming from, though. It does seem a bit bewildering at first, to spend that much money on what is at its heart a glorified RC helicopter. Having said that, pretty much all modern drones worth anything are camera drones, which is where the real appeal comes from for me, which is getting aerial shots or videos of your flying area. As someone who has a snowball's chance of ever saving up enough cash for a PPL training course, let alone pass the medical exam, a drone is the closest thing to getting into the cockpit of an aircraft. Besides, as a content creator, being able to spice up my blog posts or YouTube videos (once I get started on that again) with aerial footage where appropriate is a massive bonus.

Regarding that last point, those morons who fly close to airports, that type of drone flying generally requires either a very cheap drone, or deliberate malice on the part of the pilot. All quality models (DJI, Parrot) come with geofencing functions that outright prevent a drone from taking off inside, or flying into, drone exclusion zones like you'll find around airports. Any drone pilot flying their DJI inside these zones will have to have manually overridden their drone's flight control software, which requires quite a bit of know-how and definite premeditation. From my understanding, anyone doing so is trying to deliberately disrupt air traffic.

Too late, gone, they were eaten.

Gone, but not forgotten 🤣

Look after yourself and hopefully in better spirits soon.

Just off the phone to my GP’s practice trying to get a morphine based pain killer. I had it years and years ago for another rib injury. It was a wonderful time taking it. Ive never been so chilled out. Alas no luck (I think)

Possible . I had a fall a few months ago where I woke up on the kitchen floor after a knock out fall. Anybody’s guess how it happened !
