Finding liberty in Manhattan. Freedom and liberty are not synonyms.  Freedom is the gift of God, Liberty the creature of society.   Liberty can be taken away . . . but on whatsoever soul Freedom may alight, the course of that soul is henceforth onward and upward.   James McCune Smith, 1853 James McC...

I have booked my Covi9d Booster at Well Pharmacy on 6th May.
Yes, site is still slow Cathy.

It's use involves measurement but it's a specialised object. You've seen it before.

Thank God we have you on our side Ian!

I tripped over this word this morning. Never seen it before.
Thalassophobia is an intense phobia or fear of large or deep water. If you have thalassophobia, you may be afraid of the ocean, sea, and large lakes. Some people may deal with a little anxiety about the ocean.

It was OK up to 06:00 when I left for the shed but had gone into slo-mo when I tried to post at 07:00.

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28646/medium I started the morning by doing a complete refurbishment of the long 7/16" cutter and taking a couple of cuts on the stock to finish that cut. Then I remounted it and used a much better, but shorter, 2 flute slot drill to cu...

Bumped again. Still the only place I have seen this possibility recognised......

I love articles like THIS which examine a subject which is the subject of wild speculation and bring some accurate information to bear. In this case on exceptional rainfall in Dubai. Dubai is situated on the coast of the United Arab Emirates (UAE) and is usually very dry. But while it receives less ...

What is it?

Fishing boats in Mallaig Harbour in the 1950s. Unfortunately those days have gone.

See THIS for the latest position on the immigration Bill. The government's showdown with the House of Lords over its Rwanda deportation bill continues. Peers have voted to demand changes to the bill, including an amendment which would ban sending people who have assisted the UK military to Rwanda. E...

Meat and veggies X three. Three hot meals a day is serving me well.

Yesterday afternoon stayed dry and bright and at 20:00 the wind was easing slightly and we had a clear sky. This morning started with the same light breeze and clear sky but we now have scattered cloud. The glass is up on 1019mb and rising. The forecast is for a bright overcast dry day until we get ...

Undoubtedly true and we should always factor it in when making assessments. The problem is that it requires differentiation between stupid and intelligent and that's a judgement that can go wrong at times.

I saw THIS BBC report and thought this could be the place for it. Scientists have identified what was probably the largest marine reptile ever to swim in the seas - a creature longer than two, nose-to-nose buses. The creature lived around 202 million years ago alongside the dinosaurs. Its fossilised...

There used to be a common saying: ' Half the world doesn't know how the other half lives. ' I think it's more than half these days! I wonder if the bank ever questioned that level of earnings from a garage? See THIS for a BBC report on a similar subject. A Home Office case worker has been arrested o...

How is Sally now she has had time to settle down?
You deserve an easy day as well Ian. I see you took your ease on the bus to Skipton.
I shall call in at Well when I go veggie shopping. They are booking Covid Booster jabs. I said I'd partake if it was in walking distance!

That is very clever and totally true.I wonder which of the two does the most ecological damage?

Kev, do you mean the last pair you will ever buy? Nice Wendy.... You perhaps deserved it. I shall buy a woman lunch today when Susan accompanies me to Town Square to shop for veggies. Not sure if Mick is coming or not. But first I shall go in the shed at 06:00, completely refurbish the 7/16" cu...

I had a look and am in awe of people who are that knowledgeable and dedicated. I approve of the dog, good choice.

Mapper of the Moon.  I could never extinguish the enthusiasm for astronomy once it arose in me.   Giovanni Battista Riccioli, 1651.       One lesson that infants learn (or, to their cost, fail to learn) is that the earth doesn’t move.   We move over, or fall onto, solid ground.  That first, fundamen...
