Re: MEDICAL MATTERS
Bloody Hell Ian! That was an interesting morning. As you know I'm very aware of the dangers of stairs and yes, my bathroom door is opposite the top of the stairs and I am always very wary in that area. She'll have some aches and pains for a few days no doubt but hopefully nothing worse. So glad to h...

Re: WW2 service records
Good to hear you have at last got some information out of them Ian. Yes, transfer to the reserve on demob used to be standard practice. I don't know what they do now. They wanted to keep their hooks into trained soldiers. I think I was given seven years in the Reserve when I cam out in 1956 but can'...

Up and having a brew after a good second sleep. I'm tempted to go for a short walk, it's bright out there. But it's still cold to my old bones!

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
You're right Sue. It was a lousy day. Today is looking a bi better but we are still getting the tail end of winter!
I'm glad you got your GP. I'm glad I don't need to contact mine.... My plan is to keep as far away from the surgery as possible.
I hope you have a good day.....

THIS got my attention. A six-year-old girl who ran into her burning home to wake her sleeping family has been hailed a hero. Olivia Patterson, from Riccall in North Yorkshire, was playing outside with a friend when she saw flames rising from the roof of her house on 4 April. She ran inside to warn ...

Re: Miscellaneous DIY Projects (or bits of jobs)
I'm sure it would have the same affects for me but after spending £1,000 on the new set I can't justify any more expense and it really is adequate. I am reminded of a conversation that was relayed to me between two High-Fi buffs. One was telling the other that on a record his system was so good that...

Nothing is calling for attention later so I shall take the day as it comes. As usual the emphasis will be on staying relaxed and taking it easy!

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Yesterday afternoon was even worse then the morning. At one point at about 15:30 I went outside to check if rgat really was sleet and was almost blown over by the violence of the gusts of wind. By 20:00 the wind had eased a bit but was still gusting and we had an almost clear sky, with ragged scatte...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
I agree Ian, it's evidence of how stubborn planners can be that the madness of eliminating the safety lane wasn't discarded long ago.

Re: Tripps Clipps
David, the test of whether a writer was competent being whether they had a clear voice is advice given to me many years ago by John Pudney and I have never forgotten it.
Today's clip is a bit too esoteric for me David. I can't match your appreciation of 'eclectisism' (If there is such a word)
