Three blanks ready for turning. That's a lot of metal chopped out and time saved.

Funny how it came back to normal as soon as you and Wendy started posting...... Bit of discrimination? It has been dreadful all morning. Nice day for the market. I look forward to S&M visiting, I shall treat them to lunch in Town Square..... No pics from the shed, they take too long to load. I h...

Funny that you have a quick site, I still have the dreadful lag. Am I alone?
As soon as I posted that I got my speed again! Very strange. I shall go back to bed......

No pics from the shed, they take too long to load. I have done an hour in the shed. First job was to sharpen both 7/16" cutters and then to finish cutting the last piece of stock. I now have three pieces of stock ready for eccentric turning in the lathe. I have put all my tackle away and cleane...

I listened to Sunak's proposal to take the power to give sick notes away from doctors on the grounds that they were handing out far too many. His 'qualified health professionals' who would decide whether a sick note was in order would be outsourced and judged on how they performed exactly the same a...

No Kev. Standard Imperial measure. Consider what the ruler would do if set down on other than a flat surface.....

Never thought about that David but I can see that it may be correct. I think I just 'reject' which I think covers both circumstances.

Yesterday afternoon we had a couple of light showers but by 20:00 it was calm and dry under a clearing sky. This morning first thing it was calm clear and I suspect frosty but I couldn't see. It's still calm cold and dry. The glass has risen to 1024mb and is still rising. The forecast is for a brigh...

Bumped again. Essential history!

At the moment I am posting what I can despite the awful delay on the site. Slightly better than yesterday in that up to now I haven't had a 502 gateway error notice! I shall be in the shed at 06:00 and expect a visit from Susan and Mick this morning for a coffee. Apart from that the world is my oyst...

I'm tempted to join Facebook in hopes of being invited. I'll let you know if I do. At the moment the prospect looks quite attractive!
I'll admit I am struggling with the delay on the site.....

Like you David I am not happy about the introduction of these new grades of medical assistants. I have no objection to better paid nurses who have more qualifications. What I object to is that we are being told that these new grades are the equivalent of doctors. Like you I get the impression that h...

Collecting private money for public good. If DDT should ever be used widely and without care we would have a country without freshwater fish, serpents, frogs and most of the birds we have now.    Richard Pough, quoted in The New Yorker magazine, 1945.      To use DDT’s proper name, Dichlorodiphenylt...

That's a bit of an improvement Ian! I have just finished cooking veggies. So, despite all the set-backs I got through all the tasks I had set myself today.

If you're interested in food listen to the Food Programme TX this morning 11:00 -11:30 which is all about the damage that Brexit rules and regulations are doing to vital food imports. It's a shocking story......

Keep trying Ian. I shall keep trying to post!

Special ruler for one job. Think of the reasons why it should be triangular in section like that..... You've all seen it before.

Israel has struck back at Iran and there has been an immediate effect on world markets. In particular the price of oil has been hit.

That was interesting.... A clash of cultures!

It looks as though Lindeman's have invested effort and money into their customer service. Well done!

It's dreadfully slow for me. But I have done my best!

It all sounds a bit too cut and dried to me as well David. If only the response to climate change was as easy as that......
(In particular I found the statement that leccy use would be low very suspect!)

HERE'S some more evidence to support your theory David..... A Conservative council leader has resigned amid claims that he kicked, punched, spat at and throttled women. A BBC investigation heard accounts from five women about Jonathan Nunn, who had led West Northamptonshire Council since 2021. The ...
