A Photo I took of Julie . Plus , here is the pub's website The BLIND PIG

Hemmingway in Halifax

This is Phil the Ex-Fireman in front of an advertising hoarding in Halifax town centre.

 He looks a bit like Ernest Hemmingway.Non?

 Phil is my oldest friend. We first met at secondary school in 1963. We went to stay with  his family  on the Shankhill Road in East Belfast in 1968 and, later, hitched around Ireland ,the same year, meeting Beach Boy Mike Love and spending a morning with him  ! True! not bull shitting!

Plus a million other things later (n.b.  I am a Grand Parent to his children) 

A Sound Gezzer! I Love the bloke.We are Solid.

 Anyway.We went in Halifax for our first evening drink in 18 months tonight . Ken & Phil wanted to go in the afternoon , but I'd booked a Sauna/Gym & swim today so it had to be late. 

Very dead in Town .Lots of tumbleweed !. Ken bumped into a friend called Julie .... she's the landlady of "The Blind Pig"  in Sowerby Bridge . It was her birthday on Thursday ... .[Pictured below on the right.....]

The audio is Eric Clapton .

‘There is work that profits children, and there is work that brings profit only to employers. The object of employing children is not to train them, but to get high profits from their work,’

So A Gentle Week. Blood Pressure ok & i got my vitamins. 6 week course of InviaD3. https://www.scottishmedicines.org.uk/medicines-advice/cholecalciferol-25-000-international-units-oral-solution-invita-d3-abbreviatedsubmission-101114/

 

Plus I have bought over the counter  some multi vits & (an old favourite of mine) Grapefruit Seed Extract.

By the looks of the packet ,InvitaD3 is pretty heavy duty ( 500.000 units instead of the 10 units from over the counter stuff)

May well be the placebo effect, but i do already feel a bit perkier!

3 lots of swimming these past 3 days plus a 90 minute sauna. 

Hopefully my hypochondria is ahealing........
