Morning Today will be warm and dry. I have art at Haslingden this morning and a dental appointment this afternoon to discuss the treatment I need for an ailing tooth, that unfortunately is supporting a bridge at the front of my mouth. I fear a hefty bill and rather a lot of work to be done. This aft...

Morning As it was raining hard yesterday morning I drove to the hospital for my xray, and I expected to have to wait ages as its a drop in service. However I was back home within 30 minutes which amazed me. It’s a bit damp this morning but noticeably warmer. It should dry up later today though not a...

Morning Its cool and pouring with rain. I have to go for an xray on my back this morning and was going to walk to the hospital which is just over a mile away but if this doesn’t stop I will go in the car. Typically I got my summer clothes out of the loft yesterday, in anticipation of a warm weekend,...

I tħought the railways were a bit more reliable these days Sue. Hard luck. Get ready for the heat wave at the end of the week..... Sunday is always a bad day as it is used for maintenance. In this case a tunnel between Blackburn and Bolton was deemed to be unsafe so trains were cancelled . It was t...

Morning We had a very smooth crossing and arrived in Heysham some 20 minutes early. We shared a taxi with another couple back to the railway station at Lancaster but because we had booked ticks we had 90 minutes to wait for our train to Bolton. Once there we discovered the Train we would use had bee...

Morning Just having a cuppa before showering. I opened the bedroom curtains and saw the ferry arriving. We breakfast after 6 then go for the ferry at 7.15 which leaves at 8.30. The sea is calm at the moment. Wind is forecast here later, not sure about on the sea, yesterday's rain has gone. Have a go...

Afternoon We had a day to ourselves today. We had a prompt breakfast as we had booked ourselves into a tour of the Victorian Gaiety Theatre in Douglas. It started at 10 and we walked the half mile there in drizzle which turned out to be rain all day. The theatre has been beautifully and authenticall...

Morning Well it was another dry day yesterday with sun and wind with more forecast today. Todays trip starts with a brisk walk up to the Manx electric railway station and then a train to Laxey. We will spend most of the day there and up Snaefell mountain , also by rail. We have seen so much in just ...

Hmmm just had a hail storm

Morning Yesterday the forecast rain never happened, it was a very windy sunny day. I think more of the same today. Our itinery is again busy but with a sensible 9 .20 am start. We are going to Peel, then Ramsey including a little of the TT circuit( which starts in about 10 days). Back to the hotel v...

I hope you have a good break Sue.... Me too - but I can't help thinking of Lord Glenalvy's (Patrick Campbell) boss's comment when he was told that he was taking a short break. "From what" he said. :smile: Morning I think our short break is going to be a more hectic itinerary than usual. L...

Morning Off to the Isle of Man today, with a tour. We shall be back su day afternoon. We have a taxi booked for 9.00 am to Rochdale station . We have a train to Bolton , then Lancaster and a taxi to Heysham in time for the lunch time ferry. Its an organised trip but with lots of free time. The forec...

It's dried up here nicely Sue and we have plenty of sunny spells. I'm glad you will be able to finish Lucy's dress.... I wonder how many of her contemporaries have made anything like that....? Not many, its one of my bought patterns but cut out in her size. Its a very difficult dress that I have st...

Morning Lucy and I worked hard for 3.5 hours to try and finish her dress for when she goes to France in two weeks. We didn’t get it finished but got it to a stage where she can finish it in one more session, which we have managed to fit in between her exams, revision classes and my various activitie...

Lucy is so lucky to have you! What a great skill to pass on...... Back up after a big sleep.... I enjoy doing it and I enjoy her company. I taught her age as well as adult returners so I find it very easy to get on with her and just chat to her. Hopefully I have given her some support educationally...

Morning I had not got all my plants into pots yesterday when we had the rain deluge. Luckily my washing was nearly dry so I even managed to get it ironed leaving me free this morning to plant up the rest. This afternoon Lucy is coming, she only has three things to finish on her dress before a final ...

I was laid in bed thinking how marvellous that it was so light at 22:00 when it dawned on me that this was second sleep and it was ten in the morning! So I thought I'd better get up.... Funny what old age does to your head! [But nice to have such a good sleep.} :laugh5: It was very light at 5.00 a....

Morning Bedding changing today then we are off to the plant man at Bacup who has some strawberry plants for me. Most of mine died this winter. This afternoon I have a little sewing prep to do for Lucy as she is coming tomorrow afternoon. I also want to do some for myself. Its u3a wine meeting on lin...

This morning Bob is going on a visit to with the Model Engineers. I am going to have my hair cut. This afternoon I may go for a swim. Otherwise I shall potter in the garden or sew. Have a good day all

No Love.... Inside and centrally heated. Newton used to be jealous, his shed was outside in the garage..... I have just had a walk and a Co-op shop for some of the things I will need for the big cook in later this week. It eases the load a little. Bob is in the garage in a room at the back, only on...

Morning We had a lovely if long drive back from Northumberland calling in at one or two places on the way. Thankyou for the book link Wendy, now bought for my kindle. This morning I have a physio appointment and then I have a few odd jobs to do throughout the day such as planting up my rooted gerani...
