I still hold this hypothesis to be valid. Tell me if I am wrong!

See THIS BBC report about Disability Benefits. Plans to overhaul the disability benefits system are due to be unveiled by the government later. It says the benefits bill is rising at an "unsustainable rate" and needs to be overhauled to ensure help gets to the people who need it most. Refo...

What is this little creature called and where does it live? (Cathy will know this, hang back Love and let them show how good their memories are....)

Yesterday I started the day with the last of the last batch of cooking for breakfast. I didn't really have anything for dinner, just a nobble of the veggies I was cooking. For tea I had freshly cooked veggies with savoury mince(Which I cooked the day before....). Another week has started!

The view from Rainhall Road railway bridge in 1960. In the last 65 years this view has changed totally and we have forgotten what it was liked to be served by a railway connection.

See THIS for an example of defending the indefensible.... A minister has defended the government's record on the NHS, after a former Conservative MP defected to Labour. In an exclusive interview with the BBC, Dr Dan Poulter said he could not look his NHS colleagues and patients in the eye and stay o...

As you say David, a hell hole. I wasn't aware of it. Or perhaps have forgotten what I did know completely.....
I agree, the trenches in France would look very attractive!

I agree David. Sometimes the impression on us humans is more important than pure mathematical averages. Statistically speaking, a man with one foot on a block of Ice and the other in a bucket of boiling water is just comfortable thank you......... Yesterday afternoon we had spatters again. By 20:00 ...

I shall be in the shed this morning as usual working on my crankshafts. I think I might be frying my sweet potato chips later this morning. Looks like a wet day apart from the morning so I might not get out for a walk.

Fermented products department..... I am still waiting for my brown vinegar even though have been told it is in the post.

Thank God for that.... Thanks Lads.....

I think they will be regarding Thursday with a certain degree of perturbation.

Mothering Sundays As a mother comforts her child, so will I comfort you, and you will be comforted over Jerusalem.   Book of Isaiah, 66:13.  It is well known that our ‘Mothers’ Day’ is a modern invention, the brainchild of Anna Maria Jarvis (1864-1948), midwifed by President Woodrow Wilson’s Mothers...

Cooking is done, everything put away and the hob is clean. I shall do nothing very slowly now.....

I'm back up after a good sleep and having a pot of tea. I shall be into cooking veggies very soon.

I missed that one Wendy!

That will have annoyed you Sue! Hope it clears up all right. https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28685/medium Straight into muck shifting this morning and a straight half hour of heavy turning (for a small lathe....) Then finish and polish this leg, clear the chips up and dial ...

You're still warmer than we are Cathy and our forecast rain has started early.

I still believe John and I were thinking straight. All history isn't neatly divided up by clear evidence. Sometimes we have to use our heads!

Cartographer of Pittsburgh, PA. When the sins of our fathers visit us, we do not have to play host.   From Fences (1983), by August Wilson.     Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, was where Great Lakes iron ore and eastern coal met to make steel, and where steel made money.   So we find some of the great name...

THIS piece of political news trumps all others this morning. Former minister and Conservative MP Dan Poulter has defected to Labour. In an exclusive TV interview, the MP for Central Suffolk and North Ipswich told the BBC's Sunday with Laura Kuenssberg that he could no longer look his NHS colleagues...

Ross Mill stack being felled in 1983. The rest of the mill went in 1982. The Lancashire spinning industry was dead.

Almost the last of the veggies X three. I shall be cooking today!
