Re: TOTAL IMMERSION. NORTH OF ENGLAND
A long time ago when I was about 17 and camping in the woods at Bowness we met an American lass who was 22 years old. She was amazed that we were allowed to do this at our tender age. She came across as a very sheltered individual and very naive despite a five year gap in our ages.

Yes electric was off most of the day and was still off at 6pm in our shop on Ellis Street. I think it is the guys working on the paving at Post Office Buildings that did the deed.

Today's funeral of our friend and comrade Alan Newbould. He was 82 and a Barlicker born and bred. No more party tricks of "Albert and the Lion" or "The Magna Charter" which he could recite from memory, usually presented at our socialist friends get togethers at Christmas. He was ...

Re: WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?
Yes, fingers crossed for a good outcome.
What attracted my attention yesterday was our gym class where one of the exercises, the sled push/pull, (the length of the studio), 40 secs, 10 sec rest 40secs again was ramped up to 125Kg!

What about "glep" used to describe a quick look at something.
If you Google the word it comes back as some modern quite weird green critter.
I had a quick glep.

I believe his legally owned handgun was holstered and secured.
Last nights news showed a map of the US where ICE and other armed personnel are distributed around the country. Looked a bit like what a normal sane person would call Marshall Law. They seem to be practising it with impunity.

Re: BACK TO BASICS.
You can pay a decent price for milk if you use a local milkman, delivery at the door and supporting a local independent trader. No trekking to the supermarket to buy it cheaper and in plastic. Its a principled thing.

Well, they have just given another constituency to Reform! Candidates should be chosen and endorsed by constituency labour party members. It has always been so, glad I am not part of this any more.

Re: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Sorry Stanley! Got quite a good oven spring on this soft Sourdough Sandwich Loaf. It was at the rim of the tin when I put it in the oven. 30 mins covered, 10 mins uncovered. Tested it this lunchtime.

Re: Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread
Not heard anything from Roger yet about his sourdough journey. Back from my gym session and I have just lifted my soft sourdough loaf mix out of the fridge for warm up before forming it up for the tin. It has been arguing with itself overnight to mature. Another hour or so after a final rise and it ...

Catch up interview with my gym mentor Kyle this morning at 10.15 before our class at 10.30. I think I will lift my sourdough starter out of the fridge for a warm and feed before loaf production this afternoon and evening.
