Morning Just lost my post so shall start again. Today is our last day at Christies. Its a lunchtime appointment so a packed lunch will be required. Then life will return to normal as we await the results of scans in May and September. No point dwelling on the results it won’t change anything, and ev...

Morning It’s a damp day but less so this afternoon when it starts to warm up. We shall see later whether Bobs greenhouse repairs have been successful. Yesterday we were away from Christies by 2.00 pm, it seemed strange driving home so early. We called at Sainsburys for petrol and clothes browsing, B...

Morning I wonder, Stanley, if everything going together reflects the timing of when they were bought when they moved back here from the States or when they had their kitchen extension. I await to hear this week what can be repaired. Todays appointment is lunchtime so its a day for taking sandwiches,...

Nice looking car Kev is it petrol or diesel? It's the 2.0 diesel, the 150bhp tdci. Returns 60+ mpg if you're not too heavy on the right foot. I think the Dyson would be in the bin, I looked at replacing the motor on my old DC08 but bought a Shark in the end. It wasn't much more than a replacement m...

After lunch I will be heading out onto Skipton Old Road, wearing a lot of warm clothing topped by a fluorescent vest, to pick up bags full of litter from the verges. It is Lothersdale's litter picking day but I like to join in as part of the road is within that parish. Good for you Wendy, Whitworth...

Forecast changed, now mainly dry all day and back to 5 degrees, and feels like 1 what a difference half an hour makes!

Morning Rain all day today but warmer. It was a bitterly cold wind yesterday, though less so down in S Manchester. Today should reach 10 degrees. It will be a busy morning, shopping at Bacup then over to the other side of Rochdale to buy a new vacuum cleaner. Ours died spectacularly yesterday and in...

Morning Today is our youngest grand daughter’s 10 th birthday. Doesn’t time fly, it seems no time since her and Claire’s lives were so delicately balanced, and that first visit to Blackburn hospital in treacherous icy conditions. We shall chat on whats app or the phone later to give our virtual hugs...

I shall be attending Ken's funeral service at Burnley Crematorium this morning, representing OFGB. :smile: Morning So sad. RIP. Ken. I will miss our chats This morning I have art at Haslingden, but will have to leave early to use the Bacup route, rather than over Owd Betts due to the traffic proble...

I am reminded that you said it was going to be like going to work again. You were right. That's a very full day and I hope things go smoothly, the last thing you need is any distraction. Best of luck Sue...... Morning It certainly is like a days work. The gardening got done and a few pots were move...

Morning I have done so little pilates and yoga over the last month that when I do it I ache and this morning I really ache after yesterday morning’s session which was rather strenuous. I think I will make yoga tonight but probably nothing else this week. Today’s appointment is mid afternoon and ther...

Done. Apparently my password had been compromised.

Thank you

Where do I change my password please

"I will put the house back to some degree of normality. " Knowing you, that means a big washing day. Good luck with it..... I'm just off to bed... :biggrin2: Morning How well you know me. All washed, dried outside , ironed and into the airing cupboard overnight. We also did a 4.5 mile cir...

Morning Busy day yesterday what with shopping and visitors. We managed a walk in the dry in the afternoon too, doing a short 3 .5 mile circuit through the dell to the waterfalls and the lodge. The waterfalls were disappointing considering the rainfall over the last few days. Today we will all have a...

Morning It looks like the seals have gone at the joints on the pipes, Bob will pick up some new ones today from Screw fix. He managed a temporary repair last night so we could put the dishwasher on overnight, placing a bowl under the joint. Luckily the repair held. This morning is Bacup market, foll...

Me too

All clear thanks Sue, we just got back 10 minutes ago. There were blizzard conditions here for a while and about an inch of slush on the roads when I set off back to Bradford. By Lothersdale it was sleet and torrential rain by the time I got to Crosshills. Its stopped now. Thats good news Wendy. Bo...

Thanks all. We had snow at 9.30 quickly turning to sleet then rain. Rain on the M60. Hope all goes well Wendy

Morning IMG_1411.png Morning Well I suppose I am not surprised by this. Lets hope he actually tries to do something for Rochdale. Today is the end of week 4, for Bob and still no side effects, though we were told some people don’t get any. It’s been a good week all round, I think seeing Julia has be...

Morning Yes Stanley I think you are right about the election simply because he is on the voting slip as Labour and many neither know or care about what has gone on about him politically. However there is no doubt George has been trying hard we have now had 4 doorstep callers for him and none from an...

Morning Sue. If Rochdale is anything like Barlick expect rain to start late morning and build into the evening. Is the traffic chaos anything to do with Thursday's election? Despite all that you sound to have had a decent day yesterday. Please give my regards to Bob. my only task today is to get so...

Morning Julia and Bob were back at 3.00 yesterday, amazing. All went well, no concerns by the Dr at the weekly clinic. I was looking forward to my double session at the pilates studio, the one Tuesday in 3 weeks when I had plenty of time, when lo and behold the whole of Rochdale was gridlocked for s...
