Re: BOB'S BITS
Benny to Bennie: a winning combination. A player doesn’t have to be bigger and rougher than his opponent, but he must have well-grounded habits of technique. Benny Friedman, in Stars and Stripes, 1951. Most people of my age will remember when American footballers looked much like the rest of the mal...

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
It's turning out to be a dry sunny day. I have been shopping in the Town Square and got my washing soda. I had a sit on traffic duty. It was just about OK but that wind has a nip to it!

That's a pretty clear agenda. I'm aiming for finding some washing soda. Clear ambition! Off back to bed now to get my second sleep in. See you later and have a good day.

I've done my measuring and marking and started cutting the connecting rod out of the piece of bar supplied. A good start with no mistakes and now I can have breakfast!

Re: 'Owt else or Any Other Business
That's exactly why I like to see it also Cathy. Sometimes when we let the calves out they hurt themselves by doing silly things like running straight into hedges but they soon got better and it didn't stop them being happy.
(And yes, cows can be happy!)

Yesterday afternoon was mainly dry but by 20:00 we had light rain. During the night it cleared and this morning first thing it was calm and we had a clear sky and a good moon low in the NW. The only change since is some odd scattered clouds. The glass is down slightly on 1008mb but steady. The forec...

Sue.... you've reminded me that my flags need some treatment, both in the back yard and the front they are green. My favourite is to scatter washing soda and let it quietly work its magic. I asked for it in the Co-op the other day and they don't sell it now... (Plenty of expensive wonder cleaners at...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Whoever did that Peter was a very sick individual. As I understand it, the fear is that if someone gets satisfaction from something like that they tend to move on to even more shocking behaviour. It's a form of attention seeking. All I ask is that they keep away from me! On a more normal note..... W...

Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
And mine, I agree with Kev a bad ear infection is a miserable condition.
I was disturbed to hear that an acute infection like that didn't get the immediate attention of a proper doctor.....
We are becoming a third world country and seem to be allowing it to happen.
