Not really, just curiousity.I don't know if I'm helping or just rewording what I've already written.Both. You're adding more, but also just rewording can often be helpful.
I've sent a message about this to someone I know who recently converted to Judaism, but he hasn't replied yet. Not that I'd expect him to know, necessarily – he hasn't actually AFAIK undergone a formal conversion, just read a bit and started following various dietary and other Jewish rules. And it's just occurred to me ask someone else I know, who's an ordained Druid (I didn't know till earlier this year druids had ordination, but apparently they do; I think you even have to pass an exam!).
Is there something that is niggling at you about this? Something you're trying to wrap your head around?
That reminds me of our physics teacher, who loved to go on about how German regulations were so much more advanced (this was early 80s, so not a Brexit thing) once expanding this into plumbing (not part of the physics syllabus!). He definitely had a rant about header tanks but I can't remember precisely what. I think they might be banned in Germany?My chap cannot understand why our taps in the UK are so weird (and why we don't have washing machines in the bathroom but in the kitchen, which is another topic).
So I bought myself a blood pressure monitor today,
a "Kinetic Wellbeing Blood Pressure Monitor" from the store which used to have a Laminated Book of Dreams.
The monitor showed a reading of 131/89 which according to the NHS Check your Blood Pressure Website is High!

No doubt it's my FND as well causing this.
I do think I'll monitor it for a couple of weeks then make appointment with GP to discuss, especially as I'm still having a "pressurised head" feeling.
Don't believe a single reading. Always take three over a period of time and the lowest will probably be the most accurate. The first one is normally the worst... with a bit of 'white coat' effect.
It actually made me think of one of my own favourite (much shorter) rides, which includes a short but steep hill just outside Gloucester. Heading back south, you crest the hill and get your first view of the city, which is dead flat (as well as obviously much, much smaller than London) and I'm still struck how, in 2024, the tallest building is still the cathedral.
That may be a deliberate planning thing, like in that Canterbury that they have now, where the Arch Bish has some sort of veto over large erections and anagrams of "fuck".
