It's about changing the world. armageddon or salvation. Maybe I should write one about a lifetime in the furniture industry called Getting it on the van.
Read your Bio Janet. Think you mean Paula Radcliffe. Where in Herts. Was my county till 12 years ago when we moved to Durham to farm rare breeds sheep and cattle. Ashwell was my home for 33 years. St Albans my home town.
Thanks cycli for sharing this. Are you finding any exercises that help? Someone has suggested isometrics and somatics. I am still moving (trying to keep my home clean...and lifting things when doing endless cooking) but it gets more difficult and not easier.
Trying, but it's hard with this back issue. Can't do much at present. Cook and shop mostly. Just driven to Darlington Mart A1 with 13 lambs and 5 shearlings.
You are right that it has been sparse. Given its retail price I think it reflects the cost of butchering. A large carcase costs less to joint but it is still grossly disproportionate
We always have a period in the summer with very little lamb and then mostly local stuff which is more reminiscent of mutton - mutton has its place but hot pot isn't what you want in temps in the 30s!!!!
Sadly, supermarkets do not hang their meat to let the enzymes do their work to break down the meat. We do on our own slaughtered stock for our consumption. 8 days for hoggit and mutton 14 days for belted galloway.
Which is why the only meat I buy at the supermarket is the lamb. The butcher in the village slaughters and butchers himself and they do hang their meat. So, I think, does the butcher I now use most which is an independent butcher with a few branches, some based in a supermarket. I am quite picky ...
Thanks for your reply which prompted me to look again at my profile which I hadn’t updated. The last entry was 2000 so things have changed since then. Best of luck with your tapering. 💐
six years is a tough trip. Hope I'm through quicker, but it seems to be resisting. With both I guess I am in for the long haul but hoping for better. Writing helps me to stay sane.
Poignant words. Reminds me what a bloody good life I have had. The road didn't run smooth for much of it, but overall, I've enjoyed the ride. I've enjoyed and seen a lot of things that many only dream about.
Looks like you've had a trip with this. As you say, most here have pushed the boat out in life and no regrets. It's been fun, tragic and rewarding. More to come so hang in there.
I should have said Gimme, that it's wonderful on reflection to see that the really good outweighed the bad. Believe me, there's much more to come so keep your hopes up. Why else are we still here. No journey is smooth all the way but it is always interesting.
I see you've got both like me Carrollee. Difficult isn't it, but we'll get there. going to take much work to recover lost muscle from pred. but not possible till I reduce to 3-5mg at least
My thoughts exactly. We are still here and in the fight to get better. Do you remember the saying "sticks and stones may break my bones but words can never hurt me." One can recover from physical injury but the mental injuries from either intentional or unintentional misuse of words can have a lasting effect. They can hurt. They can also heal. they are powerful
I've read your bio nallufl24 and share the loss of stamina and physical ability you are experiencing. I think it's jointly attributable to the disease and the medication needed to control it. The muscle wasted as a result will take time and much effort to rebuild but a good project to work towards when clear of inflammatory condition and medication. Keep hoping.
