I am losing the will to live. I have been on the phone with Talk Talk for an hour and have been passed from department to department, 5 different people in all. The last one said she was connecting me to the technical team again as I shouldn't have been transferred. During that process the call was ...

I am poised on the edge of my chair. Hopefully we are under starter's orders!

I've had 2 hours second sleep thanks to my daughter being such a good bed maker. I realised I hadn't topped up my EE account since November last year so I popped to the Co-op and put £40 in it..... Good job I looked! PS. I also did a 15 minute sock wash! I have improved the shining hour by getting t...

It hasn't come daylight properly yet. This overcast must be thick.....

Morning Sue. A busy schedule as usual. I'm glad Christie's was as expected and you got away in good time. I shall go to bed and think of you running round....I am going to take it very easy until midday and my possible session with the TalkTalk engineer.

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/29284/medium I wasted twenty minutes trying to find a way of rendering these two pieces of hardwood to make plinths for my engines. I should explain that they were originally a thicker piece of hardwood and in attempting to saw it in two I c...

Bumped.

And as you may have noticed the situation has worsened again. Austerity is still with us and in many cases is going to be worse this winter. We seem to have learned nothing!

THIS Problem was foreseen by some before the release of prisoners to free up space in gaols..... Some prisoners released early as part of efforts to ease overcrowding have not been fitted with electronic tracking devices, despite it being a condition of their release, the BBC has been told. Several...

What is it?

Still trying!

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/6324/medium One of my favourite images. My daughters and their friends Sandra and Philip Lawson with a calf at Hey Farm in 1976. Almost 50 years ago now and I have always said that if there was a better way to rear kids than with their own s...

The very last helping of last week's batch of cooking for breakfast. Susan brought me lunch when she visited and I had a helping of the new batch of Chicken and veggies for tea. Today I shall settle into the new batch.

Today I shall have my hour in the shed doing my least favourite activity in the shed, making sawdust. Nothing on my social calendar this morning but I expect a call from a TalkTalk engineer between 12:00 and 14:00. That could be interesting. I am living in hopes that this might be the start of an im...

But you know as I do Gloria that there has to be an end to it.... Remember that we are coming into the time of the year when we can usually expect the Equinoctial gales..... Yesterday was a bit more overcast but still a bright and pleasant afternoon. At 20:00 it was dry but definitely nightfall. We ...

That's far less than I thought Ian......

All Starmer would have to do would be to elevate her to the peerage and then she could be PM if required.... I should say I was not serious when I suggested it, Just pointing out she would cost less! See THIS BBC report of Starmer's reaction to the attacks over Sue Gray. The prime minister has insis...

Has it been established that it is the batteries that are exploding? Leaving aside the morals and ethics, as a route for prosecuting war against an enemy it is a brilliant intelligence Coup and others like Iran and the Houthi must be thinking hard! See THIS BBC account of Hezbollah's reaction to the...

I seem to have lost the reading habit since I discovered YouTube. A dreadful admission but my eyes are so bad, it makes reading for any length of time a pain.....

At present, if there is nothing that interests me on terrestrial TV I allow myself a Morse and after that fill the rest of the evening with Youtube. Last night it was Morse and then Kurtis Allen at Cutting Edge Engineering. He is good and his wife Karen is an excellent videographer. They have a tame...

I've already got a bottle of Olive Oil BP as they used to call it Peter. I got it a week ago when Well had no Otex.

Bully for all of you! :biggrin2: Problem is I don't understand email and computers and daren't do anything in case I loose internet connection...... So I need help and so far TalkTalk haven't given me any...... That's why I am miserable and feeling downtrodden. Roll on 12 Noon today! I might start t...
