Education and Democracy. Public education is the cornerstone of our community and our democracy.   Horace Mann.     In early 1778, citizens living in an outlying part of Wrentham, MA, were given permission to incorporate themselves as a new town.   “Exeter” was to be the town’s name, but the freemen...

Good! I see so many who aren't interested.

Morning Sue. That Co-op was a good find! You sound to have been busy as usual and seeing some progress. At least you haven't got any lodgers looking for accommodation in the loft! https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28712/medium I remembered this morning why I swore not to make...

See THIS report from Brazil. The death toll from floods and mudslides triggered by torrential storms in southern Brazil climbed to 39 on Friday, officials said, as they warned of worse to come. As the rain kept beating down, rescuers in boats and planes searched for scores of people reported missing...

Good history and something we should protect!

Yesterday was a re-run of the day before. Overcast but dry and with light rain at 16:00 but dry and overcast again by 20:00. This morning first thing it was overcast and we had light rain. This will cease around 08:00 and we will have an overcast day with some breaking of the cloud and showers late ...

Meat and veggies for breakfast. Fish and chips in the Town Square with the kids and for tea I cooked all the odds and sods I had about me from this weeks cooking.

Thanks Gloria....

Yes Peter, I thought it was funny as well. The man is as we know, a buffoon!

We're lucky enough to be high on a watershed so we never get someone else's water or have any danger from dams.
Our only danger comes from neglect of culverts and water courses....

That's the first time I have ever seen an explanation of where the Imperial Purple came from Peter. Thank you!

I read that link on the opiates Peter. Did you notice they talk about a business manager and 'leaders' whatever they are. No mention of doctors. This is the brave new world of health care, lots of 'leaders' and 'practitioners' and no doctors in sight.....

Have you seen the size of them? We absorbed separate waste bins but Now we are expected to find a place for an ugly box as well. Another thing.... my gas CH boiler is silent. Heat pumps aren't. This world is polluted by noise enough already!

I shall be in the shed at 06:00 doing very delicate things to my wobbler castings...... Apart from that not a lot on the cards, certainly nothing in my social calendar so perhaps just a recovery day after my time with the kids......

Good move Ian, you won't regret it.
Another good job well done Kev. Do they ever show any interest in learning how to do these things? One of these days you might not be available.....

I watched Robert selling bananas in Vietnam and some Indian foundry workers making 3 feet diameter Cast Iron sewer pipes. Now there's entertainment for you!

I agree with you Ian. I just can't imagine not voting. It's a betrayal of all the people who fought for the right!

What's happening here?

Yes Wendy, fulling stocks at Helmshore. I thought they had a chance but you lot are getting educated now!

That sounds like a possibility Sue. Then there is often the local factor coming into play, that doesn't count in a general election....
I had my fish and chips with Lily and Kahara..... They are beautiful kids. I am very lucky.

What are these?

The good old days, when kings could do no wrong. A vast empire where the sun never sets, and whose limits nature has not yet determined.    Sir George Macartney, 1773.      George Macartney is sometimes credited with this imperial claptrap, but it’s as old as empire itself.  The idea, often in the s...

Back up after second sleep. Shoes polished and I'm ready to meet Muthomi and the kids in the Square for fish and chips at Noon. It's all go!
