I have now got over 4 years of a daily diary on here. I have never been a diary keeper but it would be interesting if I could extract it all to read as a single document.I don't suppose it is possible. I should have been keeping a daily copy elsewhere You can use the site search facility to find al...

Eldest offspring's power went off again at 22:30, it was due to be restored by 02:00. I'm presuming it was. Reading the local Facebook page there looked to be several separate incidents yesterday.

First hand report is there was an underground explosion by Mario's Restaurant on Gisburn Road, unfortunately it was underneath Mario's wife's car...

Looks like the power is off again for some in Barlick. Word on the street is there was smoke coming from a duct on Gisburn Road.

Kev has sorted me out Stanley, not took long, my marking up and Kevs slicing and its bob on for a fit apart from about an 1/8th of an inch on the top rail, I can cut that with my tenon saw. Hung it on two screws to check the fit as it has to come off again for the other bits of timber for the latch...

Glad you got sorted Ian. You were lucky with the cover on the gazebo Kev. I went looking for the etymology of 'gazebo' and didn't really get any joy but I tripped over this factoid. "The earliest known gazebos were in Egyptian gardens approximately 5,000 years ago, found in a garden plan which...

Doc is still posting on Facebook from Antigua.

I'm struggling to imagine when I would find that app useful if they were mine. :biggrin2: Other than if I actually lost them somewhere (it shows the last location if the battery goes flat or they are turned off) it's probably something I wouldn't use either. I was just highlighting the technology i...

Russia to hold 'Nuclear drills'. Sabre rattling? The BBC making a story out of 'gossip'? Are we back to the (not so) cold war?

We were lucky with the thunderstorms, Knaresborough and Harrogate not so...

The technology packed into my hearing aids, the app knows where they are

Bob down here if it fits in your car, 2 minute job

A yellow warning for thunderstorms is in place until 9pm today, I hope mine and Ian's painting jobs have dried before it decides to rain.

It must be a gate repairing type of day, I replaced a bit of rotten timber and painted the gates at Chez Kev this morning. The paint should be dry before the forecast rain and thunderstorms.

The sun has put in an appearance in Foulridge
