Happy Birthday Gloria.

You may bump into Doc and Carole who are in the vicinity somewhere.

All OK at my donation session today. Haemoglobin test passed no problem. Noted from the notes you have to read before donation that the Haemoglobin test routine has changed. Initial test is still in the Copper Sulphate solution, if your pin prick blood sinks you are good to go. If you fail that the ...

saying "this is not Winston Churchill we're dealing with". Does he not realise that Churchill has been dead for 60 years. I heard that the Kim Jun variant that leads North Korea has tipped his hat in the ring. He said he recognises the Illegal war being prosecuted against Iran by The USA ...

Will be tested at blood donors tomorrow. I have booked an afternoon slot at Colne Muni. I did gym today but I am hoping it wont dip my iron levels like it did last session. I noted from the blood donor newsletter that is sent out to regular donors that the number of eligible donors has dropped from ...

Our gym, to put in a less than adequate effort into this mornings circuit training session. I am still not fully recovered from yesterdays EVO session which was week four of the program so a testing session. Weights increase somewhat. 8-10 reps of RDL squats with 2 x 12.5kg dumbbells, 40kg on the sh...

The security tower was still there in 2023 but it's all gone now as well as the old mill building, just a blank brownfield massive slab of concrete. I always thought they would have kept the tower.

It's the top grinding stone from a mill I reckon, hopper at the back to feed the grain to the wheels?

Is it a staple remover?

Over here the meteorologists would have you believe that today is the first day of Spring. Making things that you have no control over such as our orbit around our sun bend to your fantasies is pointless. Our planet's Spring Equinox in the UK will be on the 20th of March so in another 19 days. It's ...

It's a simple matter for me. Trumps actions are a direct contravention of International Law. So by default he should be arrested and tried as such.

Who said he had the right to make arbitrary decisions about another countries future.

He is criminal, full stop>

Today's effort:

I am about to ignore all the doom and gloom in the news and do something useful, simple and wholesome. Making bread.

Hasn't he sent some of our RAF fighters and pilots to help in the illegalities?

It must have been a trend or fad in Barlick at one time as there is one in trunk on the left banking just after the reservoir coming back to Barlick just past Wood End. I drove past it every day for 10 years or so.

Heard on the radio news this morning that Farage says that if Reform is elected to government they will only allow "British" people to vote. That's the Status quo then! Shows that he doesn't understand the basic rule of law in this country as I assume he actually means "Englishmen and...

The perils of IP distribution, easily done Kev.

Our lad Jack and his team mate Tom coming second in the elite category of the Everyday Athlete at the Gym. About 90 minutes of varied gym challenges inter spaced with 4 runs, 3 @ 750m then the final at 1km. They did a couple of gym routines then a run then back in the gym. Each two person team was m...

OK, sorry, probably not a good direct comparison. Some folk are just wired differently on how they get their kicks.

Because they can and they probably get a kick from beating the security of sites. Just another form of amusement like building steam engines.

It's an old vice embedded in a tree on Higher Lane into Barlick.

Aye, until the reprobates find a new VPN or proxy server to use for the next attack.

What happened to proper 5 year apprenticeships? They not only gave lads and lassies skills that could last a lifetime, but supported through the colleges, the instructors and teachers to pass on their skills to thousands each year. I believe some so called training courses only last 3 -6 months now,...

So do I, excellent news for Bob and yourself of course Sue, a load off your mind.
