Approaching the end of my recuperation period now- on Sunday it will be five weeks since my release from hospital...

Of course, the pain is unfortunately likely to continue for months as my body gets back to "normal" inside...

But at least I am here and getting better...

Post breakfast and the latest episode of Matt Berry's excellent "Toast", we were off out into town, with me making arrangements for a return to semi-normality, followed by a fruitless trip to Fopp - walking a mile along Princes St to get there...

Meanwhile, Anne was more successful in her quests...

We met up at Fopp and walked back a different but similarly lengthed route to Chimichanga for a very tasty, late Mexican lunch (meaning no need for tea today)...

The San Pellegrino us mine - I have not had any alcohol since our last night in Bordeaux, six weeks ago today...  

This is no bad thing and my weight is at its lowest now for a year - since last December's fall from grace - I am determined not to repeat that this year...

We were the only diners in the restaurant as the rain pelted down outside...

A bus to the top of the hill and wet walk down to Crispycat Towers...

The final three episodes of "River" were enjoyed, as was some other stuff which, 24 hours later, I have forgotten...

The ripping CDs project continued...

A little of "Question Time" was endured before "This Week", on which Jeremy Corbyn's brother, Piers, argumed well that Human Instigated Climate Change and Global Warning are a load of gravy train producing pish...

Many do not see this but, if they really looked at the facts, perhaps they would...

"THE CASE AGAINST MAN MADE CLIMATE CHANGE IS SIMPLE - IN 3 KEY ARGUMENTS:- 

1. There is no evidence now and there never has been in real world data for CO2 levels controlling world temperatures.  In fact world temperatures are now falling (using accurate satellite data rather than UN fraud data see slide 6 in pdf below**) while CO2 levels are rising. 

** See http://www.weatheraction.com/docs/WANews15no16.pdf

2. Man's CO2 flux in and out of atmosphere is only 4% of total. The idea that this dominates the other very variable 96% is deranged - slides 1+3 of pdf link above 

The fact that termites produce ten times the CO2 equivalent of man means Obama and the Pope would do better at reducing CO2 by declaring WAR ON TERMITES.

Interestingly all Obama's wars hitherto have upset the stability of middle-east oil production to the benefit of USA oil production (the USA is now an energy exporter not net importer).

3. World sea temperatures control CO2 levels under basic laws of physics so over thousands of years sea temperatures (which follow solar activity) LEAD CO2 levels by some hundreds of years, see slides 7+8 in pdf. This is an observed fact. 

In everyday life if you warm a glass of fizzy drink, CO2 comes off and if you cool it then it will absorb more CO2. 

The deranged CO2 theory will have you believe that putting extra CO2 above a glass of drink (or anything) will warm it up. 

Of course this idea is a deranged tail-wagging dog nonsense.
