It's that time of year again and I hope this is not a forgotten corner, certainly wont be in Australia and New Zealand. 110 years ago. Lest we forget. Eric Bogle originally from Scotland but an émigré to Australia as young man. Lyrics included in this video. https://youtu.be/rUwDHNJlJ2I?si=XOrDoJS_T...

You have nailed it there David.

I wonder if Cathy has knowledge of this despite being a later arrival to Australia?

An abrasive stone with a handle.

It's due to the site temporarily not having an SSL certificate. We, that's the royal we, (Kev actually is working on it).

good one Tiz!

Probably a forgotten corner unless you are an Australian. Post WWII social history covered in song. This is the Australian band The Waifs, you have to listen to the words.

Not forgetting the research work in X-Ray diffraction images and techniques the Rosalind Franklin did and was not properly credited for.

He could run rings round Trump who has difficulty completing a sentence better than a four year old!

Annotating the crosses for the service personnel that we cant find this year. Quite a few, more headstones laid down, many face down which is a crime in my book and end for anyone looking for the same information or a relative. One thing I should mention is that we found the Shires brothers this yea...

Made a start on my remembrance cross distribution at Ghyll this morning while the sun was shining. Managed a bout 2/3rds but already with few lost this year. A bit to finish off in there next visit then on to the churchyard. I came away as I had to call as ALDI on my way home and do some baking. It ...

Bosom Friends Coffee Morning for me this morning. Crumpets and fruit teacakes on offer or a biscuit and maybe cake.

Sourdough loaf in the planning stages, starter is arguing with itself for a few hours.

I used to qualify due to Sally's compromised immune system but that doesn't count either now. I thought the plan was to reach herd immunity (already done) and then maintain that with up to date and new strain boosters. denying that original regime to a large percentage of the population seems counte...

I think its OK if you qualify, but if you are aged 65 to 75 you are judged to have immunity, apparently.

I contacted Doc on Facebook yesterday to see how he and Carole went on with Hurricane Melissa. Where they are moored they had 8" of rain in short order. Both are OK and cracking on.

The disadvantage of shopping for bread in a supermarket is that you tend to buy other stuff as well. Apart from that is that it is not real bread, I have never come across any variant in the supermarket that sounds hollow when tapped. Most of it will bounce if dropped due to all the extra stuff com...

You are posting a quite definitive history here. Is it a subject you have been studying for a while? Only problem I can see is that the images are held on an external site so could be lost. Is this for copyright reasons? If they were uploaded to the Gallery if possible it would ensure that the image...

Very similar tool to what sail makers used to flatten stitched seams during the manufacturing process.

I'm fairly sure that I heard a report last week that said that about 1,000 inmates per year are wrongly released each year. So this is not an isolated incident but a product of underfunding of the service, not enough officers to do all the checks and balances.

Was it used in sail making?

Taking the cat to the vet for her check up, early lunch, then a 1 hour gym session followed by tea and biscuits and a natter for gym members, home and then bake the sourdough loaf that has been arguing with itself on a slow rise in the fridge overnight. I had to deal with a dead mouse in the back li...

By the way, a little known fact; the name Racundra comes from RA for Ransome, C for Carl, the first name of the Ancient Mariner , the German 'und' for and and RA from Evgenia Shelepin, the Cook, for some reason I can't fathom! Could the suffix "ra" simply be a repetition from Ransom or a ...

Hard to see the size but is it for motorcycle wheel balancing?

Going off the top and second rails.

Just been to the pharmacy for our flu jabs. I no longer qualify for the Covid jab, apparently 65 - 75 year old folk are immune!. The gateposts have been moved on qualification. Sally had the Covid jab due to her compromised immune system. I used to qualify as we live together, that applied for the f...
