Sot on Wendy.
I can see I am going to have to be more original!

I would have thought the hospitality industry would be working a bit harder to get return visits from clients but it looks as through they have different ideas of running a business Sue. I hope you have a better experience for the rest of the day..... https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gall...

(Ican't find these articles on the site and suspect they were never posted. This will rectify the omission. BARLICK LIFE 1900 ONWARDS. (1) I’m going to try to give you an impression of what life was like early in the 20th century in Barlick, to be more specific, in the Westgate and Colne Road part o...

Bumped again. This is deep history and only happens when a lot of people get together and combine their researches.....

I suppose THIS is the most important bit of political news. Benjamin Netanyahu has said Israel can "stand alone" after the US warned it could halt arms shipments if the Israeli prime minister ordered a full-scale invasion of Rafah in Gaza. "If we need to ... we will stand alone. I hav...

More Wallander. He must have heard me complaining. He's shaving now......

The very last helping of veggies from last week for breakfast, then a salad butty from Amanda's for lunch and a pick of the chicken for tea. Today I shall get stuck into this week's veggies!

A rake of coal wagons leaving the sidings in the days when we had a railway. Notice the signal. Even then this type of signal was redundant but for some reason this one survived right up to the end of the line.

I see, absolutely no interest....

Yesterday afternoon the clouds relented and by 20:00 we had low sun coming in from the west below a broken overcast. This morning once more it's calm, dry and overcast. The glass is down slightly on 1022mb and the forecast is for guess what? That's right, a dry overcast day with perhaps some late su...

See THIS for more evidence that if you are rich enough you can get away with murder.

All corroboration that James Lovelock was right when he said that he thought we had passed the tipping point just before he died in 2022. Sorry Cathy but our descendants are going to have a lousy time of it. We had the good days burning and exploiting as we saw fit. After the Lord Mayor's procession...

The explosion at Mario's happened at night so is that different than the one at noon yesterday or are they connected. Main thing is we have leccy now!
(What was it Peter said in another topic about our lives being controlled by others?)

Good to know you are sorted Cathy! Keep your fingers crossed now!
I shall be in the shed at 06:00 working on the wobblers.... Nothing pressing after that. I might even get round to fixing the back gate latch!

I have tried and been successful to book my Covid booster at Well so they must have got whatever it was that was missing from their vaccination equipment. Now to see whether it can survive. The last one was cancelled three times!

Leccy going AWOL at 12 noon, back in by ten past with a couple of breaks on the way. My neighbour tells me the C-op had to evacuate.....

Likewise here Gloria. I got up from my second sleep hoping for some sun, instead we have the same grey overcast as yesterday. It's getting to be a bit boring!

Well that's an early start Sue! I hope the day goes better for you than the fly and the lock! I am just about to go in the shed to attend to my wobblers as you eat your breakfast, Looks like light winds in the Channel so you should have a good crossing.....
