Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Broughton Hall is indeed the location for tomorrow's exams. Just had dinner, stuffed, don't think I will ever need to eat again! Had a pint of Ilkley Black which is holding the belly pork and trimmings in place. My grandma would be upset that I didn't clear the plate, but pleased that I left a polit...

Carried on to Earby where grandad spent some of his childhood, located (at last) the Earby mining museum - one day I will get there. Can define HA...

I think it was a Bill Cosby routine talking about parents and children through the ages, where Mozart's father stood at the bottom of the stairs yelling to the young Mozart playing his clavier:"Turn that cr*p down!"

Re: SPRING 2012
Drought rectification measures still falling from the sky here in the flat lands, aye and still being readily absorbed by sandy soil as well. I am a firm believer that many years of water abstraction for other areas has more to do with the drought than the recent dry winters.

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Today I shall be mainly wrapping myself up in a quilt and feeling sorry for myself with what I hope is a cold. Last night I laid on the couch in a coat and with a quilt and dog on top of me for warmth. I feel a little better at the moment. Ugghhhhh.

Pied Wagtails are nesting behind next door's barge board, clearly visible from my kitchen window. That will make some enjoyable watching. Superb little birds wagtails.
Re: GOOD TV
Not TV but I heard part of a programme on the current state of play of Lancashire Cotton Mills last night on R4. Either I was tired or it was riveting as I fell asleep before the end. I think I was tired.

Re: SPRING 2012
It was very windy in the flatlands yesterday, driving the rain rather. There is a slightly sloping road between two fields locally and the rain has been pulling the sand out of the soil and sending it down the slope along with any smaller flints that the rivulet can pick up. Driving down that road i...

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Relaxing after a successful audit. I seem to have made a name for myself as a taskmaster; there is some personality retrieval to be done. However, job done for a year, we just need to improve on what we have done so far.
