It sounds as though you have cracked it Peter. Yes.....

I shall be in the shed as usual at 06:00 but with added urgency as I have to finish at least one engine before the end of May. I think the answer is going to be overtime! Apart from that nothing on the agenda except that I must start thinking about veggie shopping for the next cooking session! Amazi...

Yesterday afternoon we had a short spell of very welcome sunshine, made such a change! But by 20:00 we had slipped back into calm dry and overcast. It's like that again this morning and the glass is steady on 1004mb with a forecast of cloudy until midday and them light rain interspersed with light s...

I've got a sharp ripsaw you could borrow Ian. (Or even a power saw if you fancy it!)

I saw the report but didn't recognise the name.... No doubt I would know his face.
Sorry it hit so close to you David....

That post completely baffled me David. I watched another Wallander story......

Scottish politics takes the stage. See THIS report that Swinney has won the3 leadership of the SNP. SNP leadership front-runner John Swinney is expected to succeed Humza Yousaf unopposed after a potential challenger withdrew his bid at the 11th hour. Earlier on Sunday it emerged that veteran SNP act...

I think he has cracked the technique of doing selfies Gloria! Those two kids are gems.....

Have you noticed that the in-word to use as a descriptor if you are selling a knife, a flash light, or anything used outdoors is 'tactical'. I have just seen an advert for a 'tactical waterproof jacket'.

Susan reminded me that Grand daughter Holly and new Great Grand daughter Evie are here at the beginning of June for grand daughter Yiota's wedding in Bath so I have to finish at least one engine this month. So I'd better get cracking! This morning I have been for my short walk and a sit on traffic d...

We've had a small shower of rain that wasn't on the hymn sheet!

Good! How about this one Gloria?

Indeed! As Susan said yesterday, we are very lucky to have Muthomi in the family, a good man!

Morning Sue! I was considering lighting the stove last night but eventually thought better of it. I agree, you are looking very fresh and bright.... God knows I could do with some of that! We are going to have another boring overcast day here, I hope you can get a surprise and do better! https://www...

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28719/medium https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28718/medium I spent this morning finishing the work on the second engine that prepares it for the steam inlet pipe. Then making two steam pipes and fitting them and fina...

See THIS Report in the Guardian for more on the floods in Brazil. The death toll from rains in Brazil’s southernmost state of Rio Grande do Sul has risen to 57, local authorities said on Saturday afternoon, while dozens still have not been accounted for. The state’s civil defence authority said 67 p...

Bumped again. Good information you won't find anywhere else I think!

I'm watching Wallander again. It was a good series.....

Meat and veggies X three for breakfast dinner and tea.

The steam winding engine at Chatterley Whitfield Colliery in 1986. The colliery was preserved as a museum of the coal industry at the time and is still open serving the same function..

Lovely settled weather Cathy, send some of that warmth over here! Yesterday was another boring overcast afternoon with light rain around 16:00. At 20:00 it was calm, dry and overcast. It was the same first thing this morning and hasn't changed since. The glass is steady on 1005mb and the forecast is...

Correct.... Otto von Guericke, German scientist of Magdeburg who invented the air pump and demonstrated the power of a vacuum.



What's happening here and where?

Glad to hear it!

Yes Cathy!
