Pharmacist on a Pushbike

Sounds like the gearing rather than the fact it's an e-bike.

Most people are swimming quite sedately, but lap 633 was a very flamboyant butterfly.

Slow TV... the Winter Swimming Relay world record attempt currently taking place at the Winter Swimming Championships in Oulu, Finland.

They'll keep going for as long as there are swimmers available to keep swimming laps in zero degrees water.

Madness.

I worked out that one dose of paracetamol is £0.06 / $0.08 here. So to see you charged $7 for that alone is monstrous.

$7 for a dose of paracetamol (acetaminophen) & $45 for a urine dip???

If everything is as overinflated as those, then no wonder it's so flipping expensive.

Such a great song.

Is that normal for you at this time of year???

I've tipped 30mph a couple of times... freewheeling down Manchester Road to Broomhill on a quiet Saturday morning.

It's hard, isn't it. The gearing on mine means that I can't pedal above 18mph. Speeds over that are only achieved by freewheeling downhill. There are parts of my commute which I could do quicker on my analogue bike (but it averages out overall).

I'm astounded that it's warm enough to take her out without even a blanket.

Window displays are much better at enticing people in when those people are on foot or a cycle and can easily stop and walk in to the shop.

Great speech by @jaymitchinson.bsky.social . Worth sharing the text in full if possible.

You could have applied a content warning?

Glad you've still got them!

You absolutely must.

Oh dear.

I hope you haven't deleted them altogether.

Zit seems particularly appealing.

I was trying to find the videos of your fun night out clubbing and karaoke, but you seem to have deleted almost all your stuff 😕

I remember feeling a bit weird when I started citalopram a few years ago, like my brain was a bit disconnected from the rest of me. It settled down after a while and things started to slowly improve.

If you keep reporting them, eventually word will get around and people will stop.

Get it booked as soon as you can. And then keep going one step at a time until then. Remember we're here.

During the 1st performance of our village pantomime c.1994 the mast of Dick Whittington's ship fell over unexpectedly. An arm shot up from behind the stage to catch it. It was such a success that the scenery department rigged it so it happened every night.

Perhaps the humbug choker was planted in the audience and it happens every night...

It does sound like something out of a 1950s comic book, doesn't it.

An e-bike definitely helps with this.

Hang on in there. It will get better.

Can you access any counselling or other talking therapy?

A wild but terribly sad story.
www.theguardian.com/technology/2...

I was blessed with 4 grandmothers (due to divorce ls & 2nd marriages).

1 - housewife, nursing auxiliary.

2- chemistry lab assistant, housewife.

3 - nurse (got very senior I think).

4 - amazing knitter, magistrate (at a time when female magistrates were unusual).

I miss them all.

1- fought in WW2 then trained and worked as an engineer.

2 - just missed WW2 but did military service in India during partition (interesting times). Dialect expert and latterly a forensic voice investigator. Also worked for MI5 helping them ID people from tapped +/- recorded phone calls.
