Finished our first week in the gym. Exercises ramping up somewhat but all good stuff. Tried some new bits of kit. Back in on Monday.

There is just about time to do it properly and introduce electoral systems the whys and wherefores to the curriculum which should help. Personally I think they should have moved to PR before this, having said that it could be that the younger voters may push for change as they should realise that th...

Is it a small pump action twist drill?

Is it a big cotter pin for a steam engine?

Trump should not get to come again, he has been once which is the established protocol. I heard him on the radio news describing PM Starmer as a "cute cookie" as he is one of the only leaders to have agreed a trade deal with the US. I think he called our King a "nice man". He sou...

Noticing muscles I didn't know I had! First hour in the gym sorted, got homework one of which I already knew from my neuro physio sessions, alternate one leg standing and hold, 5 reps each side, no advanced yet which is doing it with your eyes closed. Second is the plank, hold for 10 seconds, (if yo...

10 is still alive and kicking so why not:



It's becoming a bit of an art form I reckon.

I have edited the spelling, it was annoying me on the home page.

Bees are fascinating creatures, a lot of what they do defies the laws of physics and nature. If we were as organised and as clever......

Our first Gym session of 16 today at 1pm.

You can hardly see on this pic but two small bees were having sex on the large leaf. Or at least I assume that's why one was riding on the back of the other!) Worker bees which are the majority that you see foraging are all infertile females. I have seen the same behaviour in our back yard and on c...

Brilliant!

Advantage "Ball Girl"

Not mainly, but we will be at Wax and Taps later this morning for a big cheque presentation for Bosom Friends for their fund raising efforts on our behalf.

The Kleftico is in the oven, the Oregano smells lovely.

Booked my next session at West Bradford Village Hall on Friday 22 August 2025 at 14:15

I have to get a blood test in a the surgery hopefully a couple of weeks before then so it doesn't interfere with my donation.

I will shortly be engage in forward prepping for tomorrows tea. It would have been Dan's 45th birthday tomorrow and we always have a family get together to remember and raise a glass. I am making a large lamb kleftico for tomorrows tea based on the best variant I had on our recent jaunt to Rhodes. I...

I bet the Liberian President can string a perfectly coherent sentence together as well.

Found an email that I forgot about with going on holiday. I should have booked a service for the car which was due on the 20th of this month. I'll do that today, needs looking at as I have noticed an intermittent slight whine when in Drive. As reported elsewhere lift my starter from the fridge to w...

Not at all, we went to one I think it was in Wales when the grandchildren were a bit younger. The structures and rope bridges were slung at least 50 ft up in the canopy. They had a zip wire also. Quite a big site and it took about an hour to get round it all. Visited one in France also when our kids...

Looks like they have changed the ASCII code for half of the feature which makes no sense really. Does the minus on the keypad work for the feature?

A repeat of the Warsaw Ghetto and potentially what followed that. It was judged to be inhumane and a war crime when it was happening to anyone of Jewish heritage, why is it any better now?

Does CTRL not come in to play with the + and - for enlarge & decrease?

That suggestion cost Naz Shah MP her job a while ago. :smile: Move to USA. Well they cant sack me as I'm not employed, however if the suggestion is judged to be anti-Semitic, which in itself is stupid they could chuck me out of the party. I think it's perfectly valid suggestion which would solve a ...

Because it is bank rolled massively by the USA with weapons. I have often mused about Israel that they would not have to be belligerent to everyone around them if they hadn't stolen the land they occupy in the first place. Also if the USA likes them so much why not offer them land there, they have p...

Looking pretty active Kev. My sour dough was being lazy in the fridge overnight so I left it on the island this morning and by lunchtime it had risen sufficiently to turn it out of the Banneton and bake it off. It's turned out OK. I had an excess of starter yesterday and I have enough Naans and flat...
