Travelling to "Minehead to go to the "Madness House of Fun weekender".

Thank you Stanley, I thought I was the only pedant around.

I will go and look for another filter in our bagless piece of sh........ However, I will admit that we used to punish it with doghair, dust & etc.

We checked out the moon tonight, it appears someone has forgotten to put some money in the meter.

Here in the far east, I am keeping my normal vigil, all clear so far. I have an accomplice this year in Filly (or Philly?), mother's cat who spends her time gazing out of the window, however having checked the map, it appears she is looking to the north. I wonder what she knows.......

They are a local band to us Julie. We have booked them in Barlick on more than one occasion for BE Bosom Friends our local cancer support group. Seen them many times on our 1940's dancing circuit also, always a good turn. Seen Peter as lead singer in more than one band from way back as well. Did he...

It has been a dog whispering weekend, very interesting couple of days there, I learned a lot. Last night was the Swing Commanders at the village hall, they are near you soon, http://www.swingcommanders.com/

They were absolutely brilliant.

Our thoughts are with you and your family Stanley.

I'm even later, sorry about that. Happy birthday.

The Hollies were brilliant!

Taking mother to the hairdressers this morning in preparation for taking her to see the Hollies tonight at the Theatre Royal, Norwich. I do hope I won't have to watch her being suggestive and throwing her underwear at them. I believe she knew one of them when she was young.

I bought "Landscape" magazine, purely because it had an article on Pendle and surrounds, only to find on p117 a certain local historian, first name is John!

That is great news Stanley

I won't have time to post this tomorrow. Tomorrow I will be going to London with my mother and daughter to see an exhibition on sunken cities in Egypt. It promises to be great. http://www.britishmuseum.org/whats_on/e ... ities.aspx

We have everything including our fingers are crossed for you and your family Stanley.

Having known them as daddy long legs in recent years, mum reminded me today that we used to call them Ginny Spinners.

Thanks China, I had an inkling but wasn't 100% sure.

On a post card on ebay "Mills Loosing, Brunswick St, Nelson". What does the term "loosing" mean? It looks like a parade of people walking down a road. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Nelson-Mills-Loosing-Brunswick-Street-in-Pioneer-Series-by-White-Nelson-/351560003446?hash=item51da9bef...

Well done there. I think I ought to go looking for the loose ends on my Fishes now.

A day late but never mind, yesterday mainly I was at the Maritime event in Great Yarmouth. A really great event with Shanty Singers, boats of all sizes, good food (kippers etc.), craft and local interest stands. http://www.great-yarmouth.co.uk/maritime-festival/

Dad and his brother went to Sunday School at Clarion House and he thought that he took me there also. I have vague memories but we left Nelson in 1961 when I was 5. I do have a book on Clarion House, it mentions a chap (who I think was James) Butterfield who was dad's godfather and quite a mover in...

RIP Prince Buster. An influence on my youth, a relief to find something I could dance to.

Question from the uninitiated, Friends of Clarion, is this to do with Clarion House?

Thanks Stanley, I remember seeing this before, I will take time to re-read tonight.
