Just got back from Skipton, lots of debris on the roads,mainly leaves and branches.

I dusted off the studio lighting the other day. I thought it about time I started using it again and there was a model to hand. This is Oliver Hylands, he's an England National League Basketball player. http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7084/7371563904_c05d2f3ff3.jpg Oliver by Olympus_Kev , on Flickr

A while ago Stanley and Tizer were discussing a Raw converter. RawTherapee 4.0.9 released on june 4th with Nikon and Canon compatibility. Might be worth a look. Check your Ubuntu Software Centre, Stanley, it's a free download.

Not had the need for any heating here...

I've emailed it to you.

My son (Barlick based) has just signed up to Sky for his telephone and broadband. Up to 20MB (connects between 12 and 15) unlimited calls for £22 a month. He's currently paying £12 for the first 6 months as the BB is free.

The same package he had with BT was costing him £44.

Our Orange connection has been down for a couple of days, they fixed it yesterday and the engineer said it was water that had got in. Speaking to their call centre was a nightmare, they told me I had to contact BT as it was their fault, when I explained they were responsible for our landline I got ...

Word on the street; Talk Talk Broadband Support is moving outside of the UK.

I've had mine tested once a year sine 2004. I'm also part of the Retinal Screening Programme. I've never had to pay.

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 ...
