Popular Post Marty Posted January 22, 2021 Popular Post Posted January 22, 2021 (edited) 10 hours ago, Albert1434 said: Ice on Lake Michigan, seen from the shoreline at Chicago, Illinois That scene reminded me of an email I got back in February 2014 from a good friend of mine who had moved back to Canada (where he had originally been born), close to Lake Ontario... The email started as follows: Marty As I was sitting on a frozen wave on the shore of Lake Ontario earlier with the sun blazing I wanted to call you and tell you what I was seeing. So when I got back to the house I decided to write you this email. When he lived in Ireland, the pair of us used to spend a lot of our free time hillwalking together in various parts of Ireland. So I reckon he thought the idea of sitting on a "frozen wave" would resonate with me, if only because we had in the past spent many a happy winter's day trekking over snow and ice covered hills and mountains here in Ireland. Although we're still in touch, I haven't actually met up with him in over seven years now. He finished that email with: Basically I miss you Marty, and when I can afford it we must climb climb again. Peru? I miss him as well. And I did actually spend a week trekking in the Andes in Peru the following year (2015), culminating with a visit to Machu Picchu. Unfortunately, he was unable to arrange time off work, so couldn't join the party I was travelling with. When the pandemic is over, and international travel restrictions ease, I think a trip to Ontario might be one for me to consider... Edited January 22, 2021 by Marty typo 7

I woke up a lot but unlike some as I was told I got some sleep I am sure it will be better as time go along. Yeah... I reckon it will take some time to get used to wearing it overnight in bed. But hopefully you'll get used to it eventually, and I'm sure it will benefit you in the long term. I know that on the few occasions that I have been fitted with a 24 hour blood pressure monitor, I found myself waking up a few times in the night because of it. 5 1

About three times now. Usually every couple of years. He just likes to occasionally check my blood pressure over a 24 hour period, just as a precaution because of my type 2 diabetes. Last time he fitted me with one he told me my blood pressure was 'excellent' - even better than his own, he reckoned. 6

A machine about the size of a suitcase with a long tube from it that fitted under her nostrils. She said it would make her mouth feel dry. She always had a sports drink type bottle of water on the bedside cabinet when she went to bed, so she could take the occasional sip when her mouth felt too dry.
