We have a change in Colin's health and quality of life to report. When he was in hospital following his oesophagectomy the gastro intestinal nurses insisted that he added Metformin to the cocktail of diabetes drugs that he was already taking. In the past he had tried it and found it upset his digest...

Congratulations to all!

So she is! I hadn't noticed that.

A Facebook post from Ardnamurchan Lighthouse showing a video of the paddle steamer Waverley passing the lighthouse today with dolphins playing at the bow. I didn't know that the Waverley was now touring the UK doing day trips all around the coast. https://waverleyexcursions.co.uk/plan-your-cruise/ti...

When I was in Colne Library this morning a lady came in trying to find over 75s who wanted a Covid vaccination as the Vaccination bus was in Colne but no-one seemed to know it was there. She said the uptake in Barnoldswick had been poor as well. No advertising by the NHS.

Physically OK Cathy but mentally damaged, it was too much to cope with at 6.30am!
Colin is the shopper, he is very skilled at returns!

Well, not gunpowder tea, but badly crimped tea bags so that when I poured hot water into the mug they expanded, floated to the top and then went pop spraying tea powder out!!

Exploding tea bags when I was attempting to make Colin's early morning cuppa.

Still in my collection!

We haven't even been offered a Covid booster. I just checked and its over 75 years only, but Col should have been offered one.

That was quite an experience! It's still going on to the north east of us.

That was a bit too close for comfort! Our phone line has taken a hit, but we don't use it anyway so that's ok.

Me too Kev but I've seen enough photos this morning to keep me happy!

It's a small weaving tool which can be used to weave narrow strips or for darning.

You also have the same blue Hammerite that Col used on our pub table and bench a couple of years ago!

We have been busy building a new bench after I pinched an idea from a neighbour. 3 x 400mm gabions filled with old bricks and a bench seat made from some wood that's been in stores for years. A lick of decking paint and it's ready for summer! I had something much more rough and ready I'm mind but Co...

Formula 1 sometimes gets mentioned here. So in Miami , FL , USA British Driver Lando Norris in a British Car - McLaren takes First Place for his first F1 win , good speed, good strategy and a touch of luck going his way. Well Done and nice to see a little change for a change. Great news but please ...

That's sad Tripps.

I was up and out early listening to the dawn chorus. :smile: It's a misty, dull morning but the birds were singing away beautifully and there were a few surprises hidden amongst the usual suspects. The Merlin bird song app on my phone was a great help but unfortunately I had forgotten to charge the ...

Oh no Cathy, that sounds terrible!
