Thursday....had to go to Belfast and if you have perused here at all, you know this for me is a photographic adventure, but not today. I felt like pooh, fluey, and my wee cam surfaced only for a few shots.
I had an appointment at Musgrave for a joint injection and spent a very relaxing 4 hours there (mean that, i had a great book with me) waiting for a jab that never happened.
Doc read my x-rays,told me there was nothing between hip bone and socket to inject anything into so a rubber hip thingy is now on the cards within the next 6 months. Guessed that was coming so i don't entirely mind but...
....got home and was hit with a sinusey infection like i was levelled! PLEURGH! If someone had said, 'fancy euthenasia?', i would have said 'make it a double!' Today is the first day i have felt human in any way since Wednesday and i feel a bit wobbly yet. No photo rambles this weekend.....and the sunset last night was spectacular on the mountains behind. I looked out the bedroom window and purely yearned.

For a product that has "never existed", there is an extraordinary amount of residue to suggest that JIFFY PEANUT BUTTER was once a household staple.
While there are thousands of coupons and local grocers advertising JIFFY PEANUT BUTTER, in truth, if a client is paying for an advert, they'll print whatever is supplied in the space purchased. I endeavoured to include newspaper articles that would have had the support of a team of fact-checkers and proofreaders; after all, the reputation of any paper is built on the veracity of their information.
I also wondered if perhaps JIF was once called JIFFY before being purchased by larger conglomerates, but it seems to have been christened JIF from the very beginning:
"In 1958, the brand rollout in the US involved a heavily publicized house-to-house distribution of free sample jars from special trucks emblazoned with the then JIF mascot, the "JIFaroo", a blue kangaroo. An early slogan was "JIF is never dry; a touch of honey tells you why." Early advertising also emphasized the beveled edge of the jar base, meant to make it easier to get the last bit of JIF out of the corner. For many decades, TV commercials for the product have ended with the tagline, "Choosy mothers choose JIF" and, in the 1990s, "Choosy moms choose JIF." Since 1981, JIF has been the leading peanut butter brand in the United States."
Ttura 'Bespoke' is made from client chosen specific coloured recycled glass which gives greater freedom of expression for the client to tailor the product to their needs. The glass is then added to a two pack epoxy resin with non-absorbant fine powder. Once these components are mixed the material is traditionally hand troweled to a depth of approx 6-10mm and is ground to a fine polish using diamond grinding blades which are fed by a constant feed of water and then recycled for further use. The floor has a stunningly seamless aesthetic and is very hard wearing whilst being completely smooth to the touch and under foot. Ttura 'Bespoke' is naturally slip resistant and is available in any choice of RAL or BS 4800 background resin colour.
