I've given up waiting for a physio appointment with the NHS. I got the open referral letter and contacted my medical insurer this morning, initial assessment is at 5:30 this afternoon. Initial assessment and a session of 'manipulation' done. The 5ft slip of a girl has strong hands and I am certainl...

I'm fortunate to have it as an employment benefit.

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. :...

At 50 yards with a tele sight, I thought I would do better.

Yesterday actually but realising what a lousy shot I am

Playing with the birds in the woods at Thoresby Hall. The trees sheltered us from the wind so the birds were able to fly. Todd the Harris Hawk, Domino a Spectacled Owl, which normally eats small monkeys, Bluebell a Great Grey Owl and Todd a Peregrine Falcon. They were all on their best behaviour and...

As a comparison, it's very windy here in Sherwood Forest but no rain yet. The sun puts in the odd appearance.

Prawn Cocktail (very retro), Short Rib of Beef with Bone Marrow Bread, Cabbage and Purple Carrots, Cheese and Fruit Cake for pudding in The Blue Room at Thoresby Hall. Just finishing off with coffee anda cognac in Manvers Bar. I could easily get used to this

and relax

I texted my builders before weekend to ask them to bring a chimney cowl and fut it while they are on the roof this week. Got a reply yesterday 'Will do'. That makes me happy......

Did you get a chimney cowl fitted?

I have been promising myself to try coffee again as I love the aroma. Apparently you can train yourself to accept former toxins. In the case of coffee it is a teaspoon at a time deal, gradually increasing the dosage so to speak. I would highly recommend Aldi's Italian blend ground coffee, I don't l...

For massaging under your eyes?

How easy it was to adjust the clock on my car, touch the clock display on the 'touchscreen', this opens an adjustment screen, touch the displayed '+' button and it's done. Touch the 'home' button at the bottom of the display to finish. Must be the easiest clock adjustment I've ever had
