Been out for Final Inspection , and glad to get back in......Beautiful night with completely clear starry sky and a Huge Moon casting really strong shadows.....but strongish North wind whistling straight down the lane ...SO COLD !

Am I alone in wondering whether , in order to be considered for the post of "Moderator" on this site , one must develop a taste for interesting food....Viz. "Smoked Mackerel with milk chocolate " and ....extremely lumpy leek and potato soup that doesn't taste of leeks ...or potat...

Phewwww !

The mention of toilet rolls reminds me ........... I'd been living with my ex-partner for about 5 years , when one night , whilest visiting friends ,the subject of toilet rolls came up . (as it does).... More specifically , the annoying way that you sometimes get the perforations of the two plies te...

NOoooooooo !

Yep !

Very Welcome ..! Derby has been a bit of a Cajun hotspot for quite a while ...... The Swamp Club was legendary .... R. Cajun are a local band , and The Roosters are an off-shoot.(some good stuff on YouTube , especially with Yvette Landry) My Old Harp players (Beeds)and Arhtur Billington (ZZ Birmingh...

Thought some of you might like to hear a bit of Cajun Music......as we haven't had any yet ! Good friends of mine from Derby ,Chris Hall (accordian)and Magic Sam Murray (Drums) form part of Cajun Roosters , and now tour the UK and Europe with a Big following ...... Great Stuff..

I've got a phone that looks a bit like that !
Is it a self propelled rubber stamp ?

I heard this one on Larry Adler's BBC Radio 4 show " American Minority Humour" , years ago . (I lost the tapes when my car was stolen from outside the Corn Exchange in Manchester ...Didn't mind about the car , but I'm still gutted about the tapes .....Incidentally , I had several offers of...

YESS EXCELLLLLLENT ....I'd forgotten that one.... !

Not yet Wendy , but I did make a good windmill out of plastic bottles as the first stage ....then it got COLD !
Might resurrect the idea later this year , but it'll have to fit in around Busking !

Wonderful Birds , and we're very lucky here to have a good population of them...... They sit motionless pretending to be the tops of telegraph poles (they are very good at it ), and I'm sure most people drive by without seeing them.... Next minute they are soaring , and covering good distances looki...

"Find out who you are, and do it on purpose !".......Dolly Parton. (Clever Woman , I opine)

Welcome Wendy....I've just looked at O.S. maps , and Trossell is nearer than I thought .....only a bit futher on than Davidstowe (where Dexter came from). I've been meaning to go over there for some time , so it won't be long. I mentioned (in a different life !) that there is a VERY SCARY old Wind f...

Well , Wendy.....I made it to the Library , and although the woman who helped me last time was not in evidence , they gave me a contact number for The Cornish Studies Library , and the guy I spoke to was very good ! He looked up the location while I was on the phone , and confirmed a hamlet exists ,...

Well it's late and I've been on the ramble again....and ended up (after many twists and turns ) with this lovely clip of Chris Smither talking about how he writes a song......

Must have been quite some pub to have Corporation Courtesy Buses ...eh !

I saw a pair of Bats in the lane tonight....surely that's early in the year ...??

I'll do some digging Wendy...The last time I spoke to our local librarian , she could not have been more helpful....
I'll get onto it on Monday (that's the next time I'll be in Wadebridge) ...!

Are they shims from an expansion joint .... The metals will expand and contract at different rates, but for the moment I can't quite see how they would "help" each other.
