Morning Late today, I forgot to charge my ipad. What a horrendous day yesterday. If it was sunny the wind was wild but most of the afternoon it rained, smashing whats left of the flowers in the garden. More of the same all week this week, and cold! I am back into the clothes I wear in March. So due ...

Sounds good Maz. I arranged family and friend get togethers here for both my 50th and 60th birthday celebrations which were both enjoyable but hard work and I can't face doing anything like that again! My brother and sister in law have suggested coming up to stay for a couple of days now restrictio...

This was the beginning of April and was one of the articles I found, it was Holland

Tiz, I don’t think the report I read was for Italy. I did a fair bit of research on it when my friend was panicking about catching it like food poisoning from workers in restaurants and contaminated food.

Do they look for the common cold or influenza in sewage? In the case of the common cold the virus is not excreted with faeces, flu can be, it depends on the strain. With Covid it is only a very very small percentage. In the article I read in March it was something like 2% and they said it was only ...

Morning all Yet another dreary, windy, damp day with more to come for the rest of the week. What a shame it will affect your plans Wendy to celebrate. 45 a good number, catching us up :laugh5: We had a fabulous day in Coventry. It was grey, cloudy but dry and warm. We didn’t do a lot, just spent the...

I saw the reports about testing sewage Tiz and thought it was a brilliant idea. It will show up there before any other method and give an advance warning. As you say, that and other methods aren't mutually exclusive and it is so cheap to do. It should be a default test like all the other tests wate...

Morning Up and out today to miss the supposed holiday traffic heading up norf, though we shall be travelling in the opposite direction.We shall see. Its certainly holiday in the lakes weather from our experience. The forecast is for it to be drier later so we should be OK .Claire and family are off ...

Bob has read your Shed Matters, he will reply. He goes under the name Bob H

And someone said in Tizer's science News, who shall remain nameless....Ye gods, have you lot nothing better to do with your time, back to my patchwork.

Ha ha , just read this, I wonder who you meant

But WHY in that area? Is it wayward youths wandering the streets and refusing to stay home, a pub culture, small crowded households, small crowded shops? I don’t really understand. How is living in these areas contributing to the spread of disease? Pub culture, pubs aren’t open yet. All shops seem ...

Morning Another grey day! Bob is off to the market this morning as we shall be off to Coventry for the day tomorrow. He wants to get some of the lovely french patisseries to take with us for dessert. I have an online dance exercise class but then afterwards will do some cleaning as we won’t be here ...

Morning Bob is always interested in your makes Stanley. I am impressed with both of you give me a sewing machine any day! :laugh5: Yesterday there was an article on BBC news online about lack of data coming through. There was a map dated June 21 st showing Rochdale as 4 th highest positive cases but...

Or ours Stanley

There is talk of a local lockdown in Rochdale, we are 4 th on the list but considerably lower than Leicester but too near the magic number. It seems the figures on June 21st are key but the numbers have dropped substantially this week . I put it on Rochdale facebook page, they took it off implying I...

Thanks. I've already had calls from my youngest daughter in California and my friend Elaine in Dunedin and my wife in Liuzhou. Isn't technology wonderful? A small birthday cake was consumed last Saturday before my wife went to see her sister. A new watch arrived this morning to replace the one on w...

Bob had a read, he fully understood the issues and problems, interesting reading he said.

I'm laughing at you Sue! (Good morning!) I see that your response to aching is to plan a day of work! I'd be having a rest. I think you must be a better Puritan than I am! I'm having a breather before second walk and breakfast after two hours in the shed doing useful things. I shall report later......

Morning Gosh I ache this morning, I must have worked hard in my exercise classes! I finished my jeans yesterday but am waiting for some buttons from eBay. The buttonholes can then be completed. That was the morning taken care of. In the afternoon we did a very short circular walk to the post office ...

Indeed, I hold a licenced radio amateur callsign G4LWG, formerly G8UKC. We have had this conversation before Sue but quite a long time ago. I was aware that Bob was also licenced but not active. Just gone 40 years now that I have held a licence. One or two threads on the site to boot. :smile: Amate...

Morning all Another dreary one. There may be a window of opportunity this afternoon to go to the local post office as I have a parcel to return, one of the problems of only shopping online. Apart from this local post office I have not been in a shop since March 17 th in France. The weather has stopp...

Are you an AMATUER Radio person with a call number. Bob is but he hasn’t done it in years. Indeed, I hold a licenced radio amateur callsign G4LWG, formerly G8UKC.

I think I will play radio this afternoon, give a few points away if I run across any contests on the bands. Lightning maps are clear now so safe to reconnect my antennas.

Morning all Not much to say today. Its wet and cold, there will be no walking done except to the greenhouse to water the tomatoes. Today will be as yesterday,me sewing, Bob in his workshop. I plan to finish my jeans and if that is achieved earlier than expected I shall start tidying my sewing cum ar...

Morning all Another damp day ahead, the rain certainly came down yesterday filling up garden pond and Conservatory as before. I bought a couple of plants at Bacup market and had to dash between the torrential showers to put them in. At one point I had to seek shelter in the garden shed and filled a ...
