Reports from Chorley say there's a reasonable covering over there.

Paulette is trying to convince me I'd benefit from owning a Kindle, apparently I have too many books. Do any of you good people use one? I've been having a look and they look to be around £120 to buy, I've then noticed there's an Amazon subscription of £7.99 a month as well as 'e-books' to buy as a ...

It started snowing around 21:30 in the wilds of Foulridge

Potentially, this was Longmoor Lane in Garstang at lunchtime today. from the BBC

Thanks Wendy.

Tim was a year older than me, I'm nearly 60. He had no underlying conditions but the virus hit him hard. He'd been in intensive care for nearly a month and his daughters were told to come in and say goodbye. The following day there were signs of improvement and one of the new antibiotics appeared to...

The vaccine roll out is picking up, it's being offered to the over 70s from today. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55698132 We might see some problems arising once more people have been vaccinated. I heard an over-70s man who'd just had his jab telling the BBC man `I be able to go on holiday now!' As...

Indeed, I reckon they've never see pictures of 2 men 'legging' a boat through the Summit Tunnel at Foulridge.

The jabs appear to be going well in Pendle, the question was asked, on Facebook, how well and this was the response. He probably has access to slightly more information than us meer mortals Hopefully Colin should be offered one fairly soon.

Britain's oldest horse drawn canal boat has had to shutdown and retire the horses. Apparently the owner was being harassed by 'snowflakes' accusing her of animal cruelty by making her horse pull the boat.

Good news her breathing has stabilized, how's Jack doing?

Arthur is 90 years old. He's played golf every day since his retirement 25 years ago. One day he arrives home looking downcast. "That's it," he tells his wife. "I'm giving up golf. My eyesight has become so bad that once I hit the ball I couldn't see where it went." His wife sympathises and makes hi...

Thank you. It's a very photogenic tree, it was just point and shoot with my phone. I will be going back with the DSLR when the sun is out

Is it a staddle stone?

Made it to Dartford today :laugh5: DBA2EF18-4971-4B41-8990-9B5DD3C00DFA.png I used to work in Dartford, very close to where you ended up. West Hill Hospital (opposite end of town to East Hill funnily enough). Bob used to work near Dartford, he worked at the technical services at the old Littlebrook...

I have an invite to make a dental appointment too. Donation is Thursday, I'll just make sure the dental appointment is after that. I can't see it being any earlier to be honest.

You might soon have to pay a tax on the Stornaway product if Ms Sturgeon has her way! :smile: Be interesting to see what happens with the Bury black pudding, the dried blood for it comes from Spain. https://www.buryblackpuddings.co.uk/news/do-you-use-dried-blood-or-fresh-blood-in-your-black-pudding/

Went out for a walk today, been stuck indoors since Wednesday working. Stocked up the fridge and freezer, from Barnoldswick Aldi, this morning and blew the cobwebs out of the car (must review my annual mileage when I renew the insurance next month). Went for a walk just after lunch, Skipton Old Road...

I get a Bury black pudding and warm it in the oven with the sausages, bacon and lamb's liver. My favourite is Stornaway black pud but it's not readily available around here.

Probably not but you wouldn't be allowed to donate, even if you were a regular donor.

Additional questions to read before next week's donation; Have you had any of the following health-related problems in the last 28 days? High fever A runny nose or sneezing Dry cough Sore throat Extreme tiredness Sore/aching muscles Loss of taste or smell An active cold sore If you have had any of t...

I have another I could put on here but don't think it fits the 'clean' description...
