Born on April 29. You have to stop listening in categories.  The music is either good, or it’s bad.   Edward Kennedy Ellington. Today is the birth anniversaries of two famed musicians, Malcolm Sargent (April 29, 1895) and Edward Kennedy Ellington (April 29, 1899).   Of course they were eminent in di...

I've been listening to traders and wholesalers discussing the changes in documentation and inspection that are hitting them. The overall picture is that Brexit has triggered changes which will add expense, waste time and have reduced trade between the UK and abroad, particularly Europe. Further, the...

C J Sansom, Author of the Shardlake novels, has died aged 71.

No Wendy, Kev has it but I want to know what is peculiar about it's domicile...... That's badly worded, where does it live and what's notable about it.

The sun is shining but at the same time it is spotting with rain.....

Sorry Gloria but no. (But you're on the right continent.), much bigger than one of them.

So no spilling cups of tea this morning? I hope it all works out nicely for you Sue! https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28692/medium Straight into turning and into the collar. The crankshaft is dimensionally accurate, like the first one, it still needs some polishing but that ...

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.
Update at 13:40. PayPal have refunded me the money for the vinegar without any quibble at all. I have re-ordered it from another supplier.

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!
