No sun this morning but the overcast is bright and dry so we must be glad for small mercies!

You'll be glad to see the back of that chimney breast Sue! I've had a quiet morning, cooked savoury cabbage to top up my veggies.....

EXCESS 23 January 2005 I did a bit of experimenting this week to see whether instead of throwing excess fat away I could use it for baking bread and pastries thus saving on my butter consumption. It was a complete success and I made some of the best pastry ever. This experiment was partially driven ...

THE EARLY HISTORY OF BARLICK (17) 02 January 2002 Well, you’ve all been very patient for the last four months and I thank you. You have stuck with me through my exploration of the early history of Barlick and I promise you that we’ll get back on to more recent topics very soon. There is one more eve...

See THIS news from Parliament.... A backbench Labour MP who has been a frequent critic of Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer's government has been suspended from the parliamentary party. The BBC understands Karl Turner, the MP for Hull East, had the Labour whip removed over recent comments about collea...

Nelson gala 1950. Hattersley's thought it was worth entering one of their looms in the parade.... Textiles was still big business even though it was in decline. Now of course it is a forgotten corner....

I had the last three helpings of last weeks cooking for breakfast, dinner and tea. Second breakfast was a nibble on two spicy wings from the chicken.

I shall have an hour of OT in the shed early doors and after second sleep will cook savoury cabbage to add to the veggies I cooked yesterday. After that, the world is my oyster......

Yesterday was a day of bright overcast but no actual rain. It was the same during the night and this morning it's calm, overcast and dry. The glass is still on 1025mb but tending to fall. The forecast is for an overcast day that will stay dry until late afternoon when we could have some light shower...

Very true!

The same thought struck me Kev particularly after I heard he had said that he wasn't actually given a reason, just fired.... HERE'S the latest on Iran..... President Donald Trump says Iran is "losing" and "begging to make a deal" as he suggests the US will "leave" the c...

Looks as though it is the usual high standard Kev.....

No use struggling Kev, you have definitely been bitten by the shed bug and that Wendy isn't helping! If you need anything special making to further the cause have a word with me..... Meanwhile, in another part of the forest THIS nonsense caught my eye.... Animal rights activists have called for East...

RUBBIA In big science the role of the individual scientist must be carefully preserved. Carlo Rubbia, Acceptance Speech for the Nobel Prize in Physics, 1984. Nobel ‘acceptance speeches’ must be short, for they are given at the Nobel banquet, and the lay audience wants to eat, drink, and celebrate, n...

What is it?

I agree with you Peter. What would be amazing would be if millionaires in government weren't using insider knowledge.

It's the same here Gloria but at the moment no mizzle. I have just finished cooking and I'm waiting for the hob to cool down so I can clean it.
I've picked on a couple of chicken wings off the roast so I suppose that counts as second breakfast!

Morning Sue.... Yes, we have lost that wind which is what was making it so miserable. At the moment we have sun which is better than forecast.
I have just finished dealing with my roast chicken and am going to start veggie cooking..... I shall be busy!

You got it right straight away Cathy. I am not going to be pernickety and press you for the exact use.... I used them for drying negatives after washing.
Now we need another object!

PRESIDENTIAL SECURITY 22 January 2005 I noticed yesterday that at least one UK reporter noted with incredulity that ‘manhole covers had been welded shut’ in Washington as part of the security preparations for the Inauguration. I’m afraid he was displaying his ignorance as to what is seen as normal s...

THE EARLY HISTORY OF BARLICK (16) 29 December 2001 At the end of the tenth century, the Danes had conquered the whole of England north of a line drawn from London to the Wirral. Barlick came under the Danelaw and there was a lot of Viking settlement in the area. This didn’t mean that things were pea...

HERE'S the latest live update on Iran. Donald Trump threatens to "obliterate" Iran's power plants, oil wells and "possibly" water desalination plants if a deal is not reached "shortly" - here's what the White House press secretary said about his comments. Trump says th...
