We went to our Carla's over in Silsden yesterday for tea and noticed the best part of the day was the latter end. Quite warm in the sun after tea. Bit of a change today.

Much better than your last go David, that one looks bob on.

Aye, welcome to the first day of Summer. Hard to believe that from now on the days will be shortening. Late Spring run up has generally been OK if a bit of a dodgy start.

You could almost certainly use electronic switch cleaner for internals like that Stanley. A one can solution, the aerosol versions have application nozzles for precision cleaning and will evaporate completely but leaving a thin lubricant film behind.

We can relate to that of course and understand more than most what Doc and Carole will be feeling. Regardless of cause you should never have to bury your children.

An update from Docs Facebook page: "Update 1: First of all Carole and I would like to thank everyone for their kind words and offers of support, they are very much appreciated and have been of great help in these difficult times for our family. We have appointed a funeral director to organise Alan's...

With our "special relationship" with the US, they could have pushed the investment into the UK and we could have made a profit selling to the Johnny Foreigners. Maybe we are not so so special anymore.

I had to laugh when I saw that photo of Bezos with a lady who I assume might be his wife or girlfriend. Back in the good old days the techie types from Silicon Valley were said to spend all their time on computers and software and be frightened of women - they'd run a mile if a girl showed a bit of...

Not sure Stanley. Since he went sailing I have only ever contacted him via Facebook or Messenger. You could try it and see if it bounces.

Doc has posted some tragic news on Facebook about their son Alan. Police had to break into his house and they found him dead. No further information at this point. I have expressed condolences.

Pork and the sides went down well and I have some left for my fodder today.

I have just ordered a book online from World Books. One of the Dummies guides this one for the Canon Rebel T3i /EOS 600D. I have the manual but it takes a bit of wading through for all the functions on the camera. I have used a film SLR before but I need a refresher on what is what, lots more option...

Thanks for the comments China. Bread makers don't actually bake bread, they essentially steam it and you always end up with a hole in the bottom. Hand baking isn't a chore it only takes fifteen minutes to pull all the ingredients together and mix the dough. Short burst kneading over half an hour, (o...

Pity they didn't think of this 18 months ago.

Pork is in the slow cooker.

On an image search all the references are Polish which I think is where the sculpture originated however, one site has this: Initially, the sculpture was made specifically for the street exhibition “Thoughts. Space". Now, any tourist who has visited the province of Cuneo in Piedmont (Italy) can be p...

Time before when I went, Mark was still behind the counter. Whether that was part of a hand over period I don't know. I suppose with the nature of the business, especially the small stuff, learning where it is all stored will be a bit of a challenge. No excuse for 6mm MDF though, it's rather self ex...

I will be starting tomorrows tea for me and our Jack. Vietnamese pulled pork, Pork has defrosted from the freezer and I just have to make the marinade today and let is mature in the fridge overnight. It's slow cooker recipe so I will set it off early doors tomorrow, 8 -10 hours. I may bring it up to...

Went down to Merrits and they didn't have the auto close latch that I wanted. The young lad that served me didn't seem to know what I meant. Back up Butts and over to Redmans, Colin of course knew exactly what I was after and he had a choice of anodised or powder black versions of the latches. £2.50...

I'm on the same version v89.0 / 64 bit Windows version. I hadn't noticed the extra spacing problem but it is the same on mine. On the copy thing, I think it is because the "About Firefox" is predominantly a graphic. You can copy from any of the links that are available from there though.

I have found an anomaly with the latest version of Firefox. If you have multiple tabs open as I do when browsing the site. Index page on one tab then the unread posts list in another. I then open each post in a new tab. All that is fine until I close the last but two tabs, leaving the Index and unre...

We are being drip fed a four week postponement of the relaxation of restrictions..... The betting is that it is now inevitable. BBC news reported as much this morning quoting that the information was from government sources. I'm just an ordinary bloke but a delay seems pretty obvious to me. "Irreve...

Isn't that contradictory Stanley?

As Kev says, a one way system. In through the side door, through the workshop and out via the front door. That way round as there is more room to distance if you have to wait.
