Many years ago, whilst I was still at university, some of the experiences I had after sampling a variety of mystical substances made me realise that even the 'reality' that we think we normally experience is almost certainly not the totality of all realities....
(Just saying)
(And did what I just said even make sense?)
That's the sort of thing I often say to a fellow shopper in the supermarket when they let some fresh food fall out of their hand or shopping basket...
"Now that shows just how fresh the food in this store really is!"
(I can get a whole gamut of different reactions to that one)

Sounds eerily like one of the chapters of Rachel Carson's 1962 groundbreaking book Silent Spring (Chapter title was And no Birds Sing, I think). Although this time it's man-made climate change to blame, not man-made pesticides.
Oddly enough, that book gets a mention in the next chapter of The Charmed Life of Danny Murphy, which I'm hoping to have ready to upload to GA in the next day or two.
You must measure cholesterol in different units your side of the pond.
My level is 4.3 over here. If I lowered it by 20, I'd be dead!
4.9 is the upper 'safe' limit, but the doc reckons I should be under 4, just because I'm type 2 diabetic...
But, yes, garlic is one of nature's Superfoods.
It's just a pity my doctor doesn't have the same sense of humour.
Instead of constantly berating me about the danger of cheese to my cholesterol level (which is well within acceptable limits, anyway)
Doesn't sound as hot as I thought it might be. I hear France was over 40°C/104°F last week. As was Frankfurt in Germany, where I'll be in a few week's time. Just hope it's cooled down a bit by then...
Yup. All good here, thanks.
How's the weather with you at the moment? The mad temperatures finally going away?
Currently around 2pm here, 15°C/59°F, cloudy but dry.
