In and working, unfortunately. I may venture to the co-op in a bit but the shorts are staying in the cupboard today.

I didn't keep a copy from the council meetings

If it's the itinerary for this weekend there are details on the visit Barnoldswick website http://www.visitbarnoldswick.co.uk/even ... eventid=34

The town square is shaping up nicely for the FREE live music sessions over the coming weekend. I'll catch a bit of it but, unfortunately for me, I have to work for a lot of it. Someone has to keep the lights on...

We've had two days of warm gentle showers. The glass has risen again to 30", it's overcast but dry at the moment. Could be a good time to go for the mid-day walk! And indeed it was. I bumped into him in the town, made a fuss of Jack and away we went. I am in denial over the weather, the shorts...

It would appear you have, Ian.

Pie shop opening on Newtown too, next door to Lollipops. Rumour has it that it's someone who worked at Stanforths in Skipton.

The Barlick is due to re-open soon as a Bistro and B&B. We need a few more B&B's if BTC are encouraging tourism.

Coffee Corner, currently hidden away in Newtown, will be moving to The Railway once the refurbishment work is complete.

My understanding is it's being converted to a private house.

We started out with 2 layers on, down to shirtsleeves before we'd got halfway to Prospect Farm, along Lister Well Lane. Saw Doc...

Two parlours in Barlick now Stanley, there must be mileage somewhere. Perceived fashion and what constitutes "the body beautiful" is a strange thing isn't it? Not my "cup of tea". I am, however, impressed by how well Lee Pickles parlour, on Rainhall Rod, blends in with the other...

Sat in the office in Westhoughton looking at blue sky with the odd bit of cloud. The Birkenstocks are on, the weather must be warm...

I started out with 2 layers, once the sun came out I got a bit warm.

Went for a walk over Weets yesterday. Was in shirtsleeves when the sun came out at lunchtime.

Does anyone have a tip to sweep a really narrow chimney with a difficult bend in it. It used to join another chimney which was off set in the room behind and then go upwards??? Any ideas would be really welcome as it has to be done, we keep putting it off---not a good idea. I swept the top half of ...

I'm with you, Bradders. Ball joint separator.

My attention was attracted by my granddaughter's 1st birthday

She is absolutely gorgeous, but then I am biased.

I got a cheque from a credit card company yesterday. It was a refund of PPI payments made over a 6 year period. They had neglected to mention, in the T's&C's, that pre-existing medical conditions were not covered. All it cost me was 2 stamps, one to the credit card company and one to the financi...

My wife is Chinese so she produces some strange meals for me, a mix of western and Chinese cultures, meals like sweet and sour pork served with mashed potatoes. She is an excellent cook so I don't complain. Yesterday we went to a buffet restaurant and this is what her friend brought back for sweet:...

Lamb shanks, in the pressure cooker, with carrots, onions, garlic, rosemary, half a bottle of merlot and a good "glug" of balsamic vinegar. Served with mashed spuds. Very tasty.

My attention was caught today by my 31st wedding anniversary. I just thought I'd mention it, a lot.

Wishing you joy and fertility, perhaps not so much of the fertility...

It was Pie Night at the Rolls Royce Leisure Centre last night. Lamb and Rosemary pudding for me and Fillet Steak and Mushroom Pie for my Mrs. Very tasty and a bargain at £5 a head.

Have a great St George's Day everyone.
