I doubt if they could do 3 x 6 hour naps. When you think that it is only just over 100 years since the first 12 second flight at Kitty Hawk, it's amazing the speed of innovation. Two World Wars helped in that respect of course.

Re: Boiled Fruit Cake
It's proper with one extra comment despite having 1 hour 20 it could still have done with another 10 minutes. Of course, could be our oven or the shelf setting. It's fully cooked and but could have done with being a bit firmer in the centre. Learning curve for me as I don't normally do big cakes. :e...

Re: DIALECT AND WORD MEANINGS
What rankles me is the insistence of sticking an R in many perfectly good and already pronounceable words such as MASTER , CASTLE etc. There is no R in either example and many more that gets the treatment.

Wiped the memory OK and put the flap in learn mode. Managed to get the cat through from the outside, she wandered out when the door was opened. Flap is now registered to her ID chip and is fully functional. When unlocked on the manual rotor for the flap it is always in a free "out" mode, t...

Boiled Fruit Cake
Well, what do you do on a rainy Sunday afternoon? You have a first go at baking a boiled fruit cake! When we visit our good friends Linda and Neil MacSween for a brew and a natter, Linda often treats us to what I would say is one of the best fruit cakes I have ever tasted! Linda's family is from the...

It's time to teach Minnie how to use the cat flap in the front door. She is always first there if the opportunity to explore the front garden presents itself! She is still quite timid with strangers and noises in the back street when she is out in the yard. Consequently she will need to learn the ca...

Beating the Bounds is an established walk with marker stones around the parish. The Greyhound did a slightly modified variant for their fund raiser. The Benidorm Rally is an annual organised charity event and has lots of entrants from all around the country. It's not a race but promoted as an advent...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Our local news is that the large retail premises left empty by the removal of our local gym to another venue in the town has allowed a firm call Hickey Bars Ltd to step in and they are going to open a bar with a music license on our main shopping street leading to Town Square. That will make five b...
