Up earlyish for a Sunday.
Just giving W enough time to wake up before I ring her to see if the wine gums she asked me to get her, have done her a lot of harm, or just a bit.
Then off to Tesco to find her Maynards ones, and bottled water.
Grey and calm here but at least it is dry.
Have a good one folks.

It is difficult when someone has an allergy. The first time I met my DIL (Eldest son's wife) I thought we had poisoned her.
She was up all night throwing-up and was decidedly unwell. Gluten intolerance. Now, nothing we had served had any gluten declared in its constituent components.
She asked us not to feel bad about it and said she had taken lunch that day with a friend in a restaurant and she suspected it was that. Nice of her to try and make us feel less guilty I thought. But you do have to be so very careful.

It really can be a problem. Cheap chips that come with a coating of flour. Soups, canned, most of. etc etc.
The problem is that ever since the flipping veggies started complaining about animal based thickener being used in food, the manufacturers changed to using gluten containing ingredients.
When we went to Scotland we lost a day down to this.
We went into a place off Glencoe and had cheesy chips, we asked the waitress to check the chips and both she and the chef assured us that there was no gluten in anything and that they would be fried in oil that had not been used for either fish or anything coated in flour.
Made no difference, still had her ill in bed.
 
Good news.
W realised fairly soon what was going on so no lasting harm done, just a bit of a swollen tummy.:)
She tells me the label says they come from Germany and that when she worked over there the girls in the office always had a big tub of Haribos on the go. The factory was just down the road.
She used to enjoy them until they too went the same way.:(

Yes seasick at the mere whiff of kippers🤢🤢. While stationed at top of Unst the only means as a car driver to get to the mainland or Zetland was the inter-island ferries. So you can imagine the time it takes when travelling just to get to Lerwick. Then you have two particular main ferries for Aberdeen one direct or the one via Orkney then to Aberdeen. It was quicker to get to Bergen in Norway 🤢
Not that I say it will put me off, as I loved the place and the people when I was there. Happy to keep my ears and read anything about Shetland Life, as much as the Falklands people I equally have owe myself to.

No, that goes off.
I have a powerpack which I leave plugged into the cig lighter so that it is kept topped up when I'm driving - it is used to power up two fans for the dogs when I leave them in the vehicle with the engine is switched off- and I have observed that this continues to be topped up for several minutes after the ignition is switched off and everything else has 'gone off'. I am not technically minded but this is the best way I can describe my observation of what happens. :rolleyes:

Most newish cars do that. My hippo does. They shut down in timed stages.
 
Unlike this one where a freelander recovers an army trattererist. Yer can clearly see the tow rope on both vehicles. Wiv the tratter stuck.

DD and I went out for a spot of white laning after sortig out the EWP - which is now working flawlessly btw. We came across these stuck squaddies waaaaaay out in the lanes of the black mountains, quite far from backup. They;d been trying to get out for some time as they had lost traction (no...
