It would appear that I have been given very little option other than go to the pub within the hour. I suppose there are worse afflictions. 

I can sympathise with your plight but you have to go! Mrs c has just informed me she fancies a walk later on as the weather is decent here. I am now deciding how to convince her to take a route that passes a hotel that has set up an improvised beer garden in a grassy midge ridden piece of ground. They only have fosters but beggars can’t be choosers.

You could inform your wife that you really NEED to win the church's three legged (and socially distanced) race this August. You could then go on to say that practice starts straight away. Then lash one of her legs to one of yours, and stride off in the direction that you want to go. If she tries to drag you another way, then you'll need to fight with all your might. Do not (ever) let it slip in to your mind that all you'll get for this epic struggle is a pint of Fosters, for that would blow the whole shebang.

Somehow the arrangements have altered already at this end. It now looks like I may have to wait for up to an hour and a half now before I set foot in a pub.

In the same position here. Your plan is a non starter, no way she would buy the church part of it!  I’ve now been told, let’s walk up to the farm and see if that horse has had its foal.  Fosters is now a very remote possibility. I am now watching the Leeds game on telly.

Just been in a pub!  'Three Horseshoes' in Chapmanslade just outside Frome.  Wait outside, shown to a table, order at table only.  Very clean, sanitiser on bar.  Staff not wearing masks but kept distance to customers.  All very comfortable but it was also very quiet, which was good for us, but it's clearly going to be a struggle for them until numbers pick up.

Nice fresh pint of Butcombe though 👍

You have my condolences. Perhaps you could slip off later on your own and claim alien abduction to your wife upon your inebriated return. Just a thought.

the farm walk has just been completed thus thwarting my pursuit of a beer. The foal , pictured above, was seemingly born weeks ago. Mrs c was wondering why I decided after all my moans to take its photo. However it was nice to see the farm campsite full of tents,  a good sign for the future.

Are you a fan or do you just like torturing yourself on a weekly basis like us unfortunate souls who are from Leeds?

Not really a fan but always liked them since their glory days. Always been my ‘English’ team. I have an admiration and empathy also for their fans who have followed them throughout the good and more recent bad times.  I know what that’s like!

I'm worried you might actually do it this season. It's been fun the last few years just living here and watching on 🤪

    • Yes I'm also glad to see more experimental leftfield artists on the line up  Best line up in years 
    • Also Elefant to the Buzz.
    • I've heard him mention Deftones and Biffy as holy grail bookings in the past.   I think given Simon is back again suggests he enjoyed himself last year, not sure if they all still live in the UK so don't know if they'd match the flight thing
    • I refuse to queue for it - usually take an aeropress and some way of heating water but this year I'll be pre making a few bottles of coldbrew and having an iced coffee every morning (if we can get hold of ice, otherwise it'll be a lukewarm coffee) 
    • Himalayan salt lamps are decoration lighting that you may purchase for your house. They are made of pink Himalayan salt and are believed to offer a variety of health advantages. In reality, advocates of salt lamps believe that they can purify the air in your home, relieve allergies, improve your mood, and help you sleep.   Some people claim that Himalayan salt lamps can improve air quality, boost mood, and aid with sleep. However, there is little evidence to support these claimed health benefits.     What Are The Salt Lamps, And Why Are They Used?   Himalayan salt lamps are created by inserting a light bulb into huge chunks of pink Himalayan salt. True Himalayan salt lamps are created from salt collected from Pakistan's Khewra Salt Mine. Salt from this area is thought to be millions of years old, and while it looks quite similar to table salt, the tiny amounts of minerals it contains give it a pinkish hue. Many individuals purchase Himalayan salt lamps because they like the way they look and the peace that the pink light provides in their homes. Meanwhile, some are drawn to their potential health benefits.   How Do Pink Himalayan Salt Lamps Work?   Salt lamps are thought to have health benefits because they are "natural ionizers," which means they change the electrically charged particles of the flowing air. Ions are compounds with an uneven number of protons or electrons, which gives them a charge. They are naturally formed in the air as a result of atmospheric changes. Streams, storms, waves, natural radiation, and heat all generate air ions. They can also be generated artificially using commercially available air ionizers. It is thought that Himalayan salt lamps produce ions by attracting water particles, which evaporate as a salt solution when heated by the lamp, resulting in mainly negative ions. However, this theory is yet to be verified.   Related Topic: Is Pink Salt Better Than Normal Salt? How To Buy Pink Salt In Canada? 8 Benefits Of Pink Himalayan Salt      What Are The Health Claims, And How Do They Measure Up? They enhance the air purity   They are promoted as helpful for persons suffering from allergies, asthma, or respiratory disorders such as cystic fibrosis. There is presently no proof that using a Himalayan salt lamp can eliminate harmful bacteria and enhance indoor air quality. The argument that they are beneficial to persons with respiratory issues may be based on the ancient technique of halotherapy. According to this therapy, persons with chronic respiratory diseases are helped by spending time in saltwater caves since salt is present in the air. Some researchers have found that this approach may be beneficial to specific respiratory disorders, but further high-quality studies are still needed.   Eases Coughing As you are aware, the benefits listed in the previous section highlight the distinct characteristics of Himalayan salt lamps. When these lamps heat up, they emit negative ions that offset the positive ions in our surroundings, resulting in cleaner air quality. This process increases cilial activity in our airways, which aids in the removal substances from the lungs. In essence, Himalayan salt lamps act as natural air filters, promoting general health.   In a nutshell, Himalayan pink salt lamps not only remove impurities from the air but also assist your body filter air more efficiently, making sure any foreign particles you inhale do not enter your lungs.   They can help you sleep   There have been no studies looking into the impact of Himalayan salt lamps on sleep. However, a 2013 study examining the effects of air ionization on relaxation and sleep found no evidence of a positive effect. Thus, even if salt lamps have an effect on the air environment, it is unknown whether this will change sleep patterns. If you replace strong electric lights with a Himalayan salt lamp, the dark light could help encourage weakness near the end of the day. This is because being exposed to bright light before bedtime can cause the sleep hormone melatonin to be produced later.   SUMMARY: Himalayan salt lamps are said to improve air quality, elevate mood, and aid in sleep. However, there is right now insufficient evidence to support these statements.     Do Pink Salt Lamps Provide Any Benefits?   Although some of its health claims have not been verified by science, Himalayan salt lamps may provide additional benefits. This includes: They are attractive: If you like how they look, they could be a good addition to your home. They help to create a soothing atmosphere that allows you to unwind. They may help minimize light in the evening: If you have trouble sleeping, utilizing dim lights in the evening may help you fall asleep more quickly.     Further Ways to Purify Your Home Air   Himalayan pink salt lamps are not the only technique to improve your home's air quality. Pair them with air purifying houseplants or any of these other easy but incredible ways to naturally filter the air in your home, helping you and your family to breathe the healthiest, cleanest air imaginable!     Read More...
