My back has improved a bit after a nights sleep. "Slowly, slowly catchy monkey " comes to mind. Moving is easier today but its still there. Glad I cancelled my gym this morning, I think I would have been about as much good as a chocolate teapot! On the Imperial Leather issue, I wonder if i...

I still think the push to send all kids to university for a degree and a big debt is one of the big bogeys in the room. Bring back proper 5 year college courses for training into skilled trades, and proper apprenticeships, we still need thousands of folk in them. They are actually the cohort of work...

Pulled my back at the gym this morning. Was perfectly OK until the last exercise which was a hip thrust with about 40K on my lap. Done that OK without a problem before! Anyway, painful mobility at the moment, sitting and standing back up particularly challenging. Doubt if I could get in the car to d...

Yes indeed, I need to cancel the broadband contract for the centre. I organised that so my responsibly. We will take a hit on that as it is not a simple address move, our new property is not that far along yet. There is still a good few months on the contract so we cant avoid that. Swings and rounda...

Well, today is an ending for one of the chapters for Bosom Friends. The solicitors have finally had enough from each party and the sale back to the club has finalised today. I handed all our keys back to the club today. The venue is basically empty other than a few effects that we have for the new s...

It's an excellent head levelling pastime.

Was on the cut bank at the plantation by 9.30 this morning. Towpath was in shade which was a bonus and quite pleasant. Had a few bites but nothing taking proper. Tried all the variations and the only one that they fancied was worm.. Once the sun got overhead it was a bit more testing, quite a few bo...

The last batch of stuff I ordered was delivered this morning, my net bag and various artificial baits, the maggots are bloodworm red. I will try various combinations of these and see if I have any luck. Planning a first trip out tomorrow, I think I will go down to the plantation off Marton Road just...

As reported elsewhere when replacing my shed. I rediscovered my fishing tackle and have been refurbishing and replacing some of the bits. Realised we didn't have a forum for fishing subjects so I have added a new one. I said I might give my tackle another airing so to that end I have re-licensed mys...

Although enlightening, your bread video leaves out a fundamental, none of it will sound hollow when tapped on the bottom. If you drop it, it will bounce. I produced a sourdough loaf on Tuesday, started the process on Monday morning. It has active sourdough starter, water, flour and salt, four hours ...

To my gym session. Could only put in about 75% effort in this morning, but i did manage all the class. I think I have some kind of viral thing going on, started yesterday, losing my voice and I have a very dry cough. I don't feel particularly ill, no temperature but definitely not 100% on the energy...

There is a notice on the app that says the courier already has my parcel. That was there when I first checked this morning so it makes even less sense.

Logistics? I have been tracking an order I made due to be delivered today. I had tracking info this morning at 09.30 that gave a delivery time of 16.30 to 18.30 today. I shoved the tracking info into their app and its showed the driver in Nelson at 10am, Colne at 10.45 and he was in Barlick by 11.30...

is it an apron made from scrap cloth at the mill?

In my view rubbish TV like this is just asking for trouble. What is wrong with courting a girl, you get to know one another and make a proper decision as to whether you are compatible enough for marriage. I know there have always been whirlwind courtships, some of which last, but many don't. I think...

Yes, Ray is the one at the start of the video Tripps posted. We went to see Dr Hook at Belle Vue in 1972 I think it was, a good band.

I took my Eleven Plus in 1964 and passed but elected not to go to grammar school. My brother had done that and it did him no good at all. Up early to catch the train and home late. He left at 16 and didn't do Sixth Form etc but went directly into work. My experience in turning down grammar school wa...

There's a few been mown round here also Gloria. Noticed when I took Sally on to Skipton this morning for the train.

Is it a pill cutter?

Posh version!

I will be blind baking bottoms then filling them with meat and potato before shoving the lids on. Two for the freezer and one for my tea.

Oh, I should report that my shed build is finished, piece of cake working from a flat level base!. I have jet washed all of the flags piecemeal as we have moved the pots around. Sally has given the white stone paint a refresh all the way round the yard at the same time. Just have next doors kitchen ...

I saw it on my Tic Tock feed Gloria sometime last week I think it was.

Regardless of what Starmer says, it wont be up to him if he stays. They shouldn't worry about a leadership chang, they have along way to go to catch up with the death throws of the Tories. Tory Leader Kemmy is spouting as if they have a chance of forming the next government. :laugh5: One of the comm...

That banner is on display at Clarion House.

The Labour Party could try a bit of socialism. Fat chance with the media hype that would follow. Mind you it would need a Socialist PM to sell it properly.
