Morning Sue! Have a word with Ian, it's quite amazing what he can do! https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28731/medium Today I made the flywheel to fit the shaft I made yesterday afternoon. Then I did my measuring and sorting out for the cylinders and associated parts. Notice w...

In a world even more liable to extreme weather events we should be taking notice and doing the maintenance on our watercourses.
So bumped again.

What is there left to say about our current political situation? The nation is in limbo as the Tories cannot govern, they have run out of policies, money and ideas. All they can do is chew away at their own majority. What are they clinging to power for? Prolonging the membership of the club and the ...

Yesterday Grant Shapps told MPs the government had reason to believe the MOD hack "was the suspected work of a malign actor" - and the BBC understands that ministers suspect China was responsible Now let's see..... Remind me, how much are we paying this jerk to spout bleeding obvious driv...

Meat and veggies X three. I roasted the chicken yesterday and today is veggie cooking! That will get cooking out from under the feet for another week!

THIS account of how the infected blood scandal affected just one mother got my attention. How can politicians and lawyers string this matter out to the extent that people are dying before getting any compensation? Euan McDougall was just 16 when he died from Aids in 1994 after being infected with H...

He's wearing his racing spats as well! :biggrin2: https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/3597/medium A serious looking Stanley with his dad at Burrs Mount , Great Hucklow in 1940. We were there to escape the bombing in Stockport but there wasn't any, the 'Phoney War', so we went b...

You got it with your second stab Peter. Raw material for making curling stones being shipped off Ailsa Craig.
Next object?

See THIS for more evidence that we are doomed! Fuelled by climate change, the world's oceans have broken temperature records every single day over the past year, a BBC analysis finds. Nearly 50 days have smashed existing highs for the time of year by the largest margin in the satellite era. Planet-w...

'Outsourcing' is a handy way of shifting responsibility for any mistakes onto other shoulders. Buttressed by the myth that private industry is more efficient. (See the railways for a comprehensive rebuttal of that argument! See THIS for another example of the genre.... A "nationwide issue"...

Yesterday afternoon we had sun but with some occasional spatters of rain. At 20:00 the overcast which had come in again was breaking and we had late evening sun under a partially clear sky. This morning it's calm and clear, we have stars in the sky! The glass is up again on 1025mb. The forecast is (...

I shall be in the shed wobbling and then after second sleep I shall cook my veggies for next week. I cooked my red cabbage yesterday because one thing I have learned is that red cabbage is an outlier, it needs cooking separately form the other veggies because of the colour and it is an entirely diff...

Well have got the vaccine but not the rest of the kit for using it. (Whatever that is) Susan had bad luck and got an ear infection. They are over on the East Coast at the moment and she had to find an Urgent Care Centre. She waited 5 hours yesterday but came out with a prescription for the ABs that ...

My neighbour Ian made me a new back gate from scratch as the old one was rotten as a pear. He used hardwood but it must have been kiln dried as it warped over the winter. I need to do a bit of work on the latch as soon as the Wobbler panic is finished in the shed.....
Gate look good Ian!

Morning Mick! I am still reviewing Wallander. Good but gloomy plots and I wish Kenneth Branagh would have a shave!

I did something unusual, I went back in the shed for an hour on the wobblers. I have to feel comfortable about finishing them for the end of the month....

I've had me short walk into Town Square and a sit and I'm sorry to report that the overcast is back.

We started overcast here Gloria but now we have sunshine. I shall go for a walk and a sit on traffic duty!

I'll join in Cathy even though I am not sure he looks at the site....

No let up then as you prepare to leave for the UK..... I hope all goes well and that you don't end up hungry while waiting for the ferry! https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28727/medium I'm looking at the flywheel for the first engine. The short pieces of bronze in the kit are...
