BYC Café

[Mtn Margie]

Morning and thanks for the coffee! It is another beautiful day here and this is the last day that I will be able to say that for a while. We are getting snow, wind, and cold starting tomorrow. Oh well! Enjoy the day you all!

By now I often feel twisted and knotted like this https://media1.faz.net/ppmedia/vide...a_overview/gordischer-knoten-staatsreform.jpg

Great visual, I can relate.

Went to a really good PT for shoulder problems who taught me how to keep my muscles stretched and strengthened to keep things in balance. I was already quite interested in anatomy and once she realized that she taught me a lot about how to 'treat' myself.

My remedial gymnastics are a daily routine since more than 20 years anyway, but the weekly additional physiotherapy helped to maintain everything amiss at a bearable level.

Well, one will have to adjust somehow and find other ways for reasonable replacements.

That will help with strengthening, but stretching is important too.

Yes, every evening is stretching time to prevent muscle cramps and numb butt (sacrum) and legs.

yes it did. I wasn't a huge fan of the taste (in the 'OK' bracket for me) but the tree looked magnificent in full fruit with it's deep green glossy leaves, and it was perfect for the (windy) spot it was in.

They don't thrive here at 300 metres but at 350 metres they're fine.
Somewhere in that band there is a soil type change on the two main ridges anyway.
Strawberry tree is one of my favourite woods for lamp and sculpture making.

Shy of locking people up, what else can they do but put out guidance and HOPE people will follow it?

They did regional on the spot fines here in March and April. That seemed to work.
The wearing of masks in particular is not hard to police. It's pretty obvious after all.

Good evening Cafe.
Tea is made. Earl Grey tonight. Help yourselves. It's a bit on the strong side.
Reasonable weather here today until the sun went down and then it got close to freezing very quickly.
Finally got some dry oak brought down. The difference in heat output compared to the damp pine that we have loads of that just needs getting rid of is incredible.

As a child my bedroom was directly above the kitchen. One of my favorite memories is of the smell of coffee perking and bacon frying while I snuggled down in my barely heated bedroom.

This is my favorite memory of sleeping at my grandmas house. I was always awoken by the smell of the ol’ coffee percolator & frying bacon. At home, my parents never drank coffee & we only had bacon when camping or on Christmas morning, so mornings at grandmas were extremely special.
