…another new monitor
well , the last monitor didn’t last long. it had a dead pixel but i made sure i was covered for that and decided to exchange it.
This beast is lg 34″ Ultrawide with an IPS screen for much better clarity and full colour spectrum.
I only just managed to make it fit into the alcove but don’t let the picture fool you, this is huge !
Diabetes Update
I had my six monthly diabeties check a few days ago. One point up from last time … 38. blood pressure fine , eyes fine , feet fine. The bad news is my cholesterol is at 5.7 so need to go on statins.
Never mind, it gives me something else to panic about :/
New Monitor
New Monitor. It had to be done as i’m not getting any younger and my old tired eyes needed something a little bigger. i say little but its 32″ so i had to shoehorn it into my little corner lol.
Per Mare , Per Terram – Chooch
I was hardly out of nappies and starting primary school when i met this guy , even from that first day he had my back.
We went through primary and secondary schools together and had some laughs in between .
Those times were great , however we both went on to create our own futures .
I remember Chooch wanting to join the Royal Marines and the last time i saw him he was training hard to get to that goal.
i had never known this guy to quit at anything in his life so i was so happy and proud when some 20 odd years later he appears on my facebook feed.
He HAD reached his goal and i’m proud to say not only did he watch my back , he went on to protect that of the guys he served with , his country and everywhere he served.
Sadly , i learned of Chooch’s father, Brian , passing recently , i didn’t realise at the time that he also served in the forces . with chooch’s permission i have included a picture below showing them both in better times.
“Those who have never been to the edge and looked over will never understand that it is better to live one day as a lion than a lifetime as a sheep. The ones that been to the edge know that hard times don't last forever, but hard men do.”
