I have to put you all out of your misery. It's a set of Allen keys that is handy to have close at hand. These live on the bench in the shed.....
Next mystery object?

Southern belle, flapper girl, suffragette. We should be ashamed to stand on ground won by women in the past without making an effort to honor them by winning a higher and wider field for the future.   Sue Shelton White.   Back in the early summer of 1920, the fate of the 19thAmendment was by no mean...

They must be enjoying the river and the weather, haven't heard from them this morning. I'm back home after shopping. Nice to have a sit down and a bit of dinner. Biggest problem was getting to the shops with all the fencing to control BOTS!

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28799/medium I started by finishing the milling of the gap between the bearing beds. Then I drilled the holding down lugs on the base and the bed. Next I drilled and tapped for two of the 2BA set screws that fasten the bed to the base. Then ...

Bumped again, still essential history.

See THIS for a report on Paula Vennells at the PO enquiry. She wasn’t on trial – but she might just as well have been. Over the three days, Paula Vennells faced an onslaught of hostile questions. Lead counsel to the inquiry, Jason Beer, was subtle but probing. The lawyers for the sub-postmasters, wh...

If there is no movement by dinnertime I shall reveal all....
(I'm surprised! I thought you'd have been all over this one.

(12) THE FALL OF THE BRACEWELL EMPIRE. (2) The story I am telling is an attempt to untangle the web that was the Bracewell family. It is not the history of the area. However, we can’t avoid the fact that the events we are following had enormous effects. The collapse of the Bracewell interests in Bar...

There's no doubt you are having better weather than back in Foulridge!

Yesterday was another overcast gloomy day and once more the CH came on. (It's on now!) This morning it was overcast, dry and cool and the only change is that the overcast might be lifting a bit. The glass is up on 1016mb and the forecast is for a sunny start to the day but reverting to overcast at N...

I wouldn't argue with you David. I'm sure about the base though, It's a Leyland Comet tractor unit....



I can't remember who wrote this.....

You seem to have struck a rich seam there David! (I have never heard of Suranne Jones.....) I shall be in the shed as usual from 06:00 onwards further refining my bed casting. What happens later today depends on whether Susan is visiting, they are back parked up at Edisford bridge in Clitheroe for a...

I saw THIS and my first thought was how will we manage without him? :biggrin2: Long-serving Conservative cabinet minister Michael Gove has announced he will not stand at the general election, as the second full day of campaigning was marked by an exodus of MPs. r Gove, first elected MP for Surrey He...

A wonderful survivor Wendy. Funny thing is she is in reverse on the website picture!

"Dr. Blalock, you've done a nice job closing this ductus; why can't you build a ductus?" Learn to listen with your fingers.   Dr. Helen Taussig.     When I began my schooling, in Grundy Center, I was aware that a local girl in my age cohort was a ‘blue baby.’  More than vaguely aware: for ...

I've been listening to Keir Starmer wooing his Labour supporters in Scotland. I wonder if any of them remember the way Tony Blair's New Labour treated Scotland. At the time it was described as regarding the Scottish Labour Party as a regional office. If Starmer is clearly anything he is a Blairite. ...

That was unexpected! I have just got up after three hours of second sleep! I must have needed it..... I shall go to the Co-op for some milk now......
Weare dry in Barlick Sue after an unexpected light shower earlier..... But it's cold and the CH is still on. This is not summer weather!

https://www.oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/28797/medium Only one image. I have milled the beds for the crankshaft brasses and refined other aspects of the bed casting. Just one more adjustment needed and that will be done tomorrow, I have spent an hour in the shed. I have had a chip ...
