Morning We had a lovely lunch at the Town Hall but glad we went down in the car because of the rain. In the afternoon I did a bit of mending and a couple of alterations as I appear to have lost an inch off my waist since last year, though my weight is constant This morning i have art at Haslingden, ...

Morning Yesterday morning I had physio on my neck, we do at last seem to be getting some improvement with the trapped nerve only firing every now and again. I shall continue with the exercises and have another appointment next week. In the afternoon I abandoned my sewing and went to see Maxine, just...

I have a funeral to go to this afternoon. A good friend and member of our unofficial library group died suddenly from heart failure a couple of weeks ago. It was such a shock, and we haven't quite come to terms with the fact that such a vibrant personality has gone from our lives. Jill Pengelly was...

Morning I spent the afternoon sewing yesterday, following a very good u3a history talk in the morning. The dress I was making which was the same as the one Lucy made , needs a major refit as it has worked out much too big. I have put it on one side for now and will continue with things that I know d...

Morning Its a dull windy day with rain forecast all day. I am inTodmorden this morning for a talk in my history group. Bob was going as well but the house alarm people phoned to say they would like to come this morning to do the annual check. This afternoon I shall sew. My sewing has been on hold wh...

Morning What was forecast to be a cloudy day , yesterday turned out to be a lovely and sunny one. I washed, ironed, pottered in the garden and at sewing and also spent an hour or so sitting reading in the conservatory whilst Bob was out. I feel a similar day coming on for today. Rain was forecast fo...

Morning A nice sunny morning bue due to cloud over. I managed to get the vegie plants I wanted and after we came home from our lunch out I planted them. The cabbages are covered by a wonderful plant protection net courtesy of Temu. Exactly what I was looking for over three years ago,. It is a solid ...

Thanks for the link. It occurred to me after posting, that it might appear that I was challenging your post - I didn't intend that. I'd never heard of that company Evansvanodine - the history and detail about them is fascinating - and it cheers me no end to see a British company such as this, seemi...

Interesting, I can only go off what I was told and I don’t know who told me. Long time ago I have a feeling that old Mr Evans may have worked in the Kersal Vale factory. It rang a bell in my head. He was in his mid 80 s I seem to remember when he died in 1973/4 so he was certainly the age to do so. ...

As a ..by the way.. When I first graduated I set up and ran a bacteriology research lab for a company that made agricultural and industrial cleaners antiseptics and disinfectants. I was responsible for testing intended new products using the appropriate testing techniques . There were other sides to...

The Dr told me what to do if they are still there after two weeks

Morning Today I have a sore leg following my punch biopsy, it feels a bit like a bad graze. My appointment was 2.50 pm, in the centre pf Oldham at some new facilities, it even had free car-parking for an hour, with an extension if you were delayed. We arrived twenty minutes early, I was seen early a...

Morning We had a very good afternoon with our friend yesterday and he seems to be slowly adjusting to his single life. We enjoyed our meal then had a very windy walk round Hollingworth Lake . Its just over two miles and on the flat and yesterday was full of families having a stroll and eating ice cr...

Morning I don’t think I wrote yesterday, nothing much happened as I stayed inside in the cool most of the day. Today will be more bearable. I drafted a pattern for a pair of trousers for Lucy so they are ready for her to start when she gets back from France and when she can fit it in round her exams...

Morning Surprisingly Bob had a quiet day at the park. It seems there were a number of activities going on around Rochdale and of course people were enjoying the weather at home. I spent most of the day indoors sewing just pottering out into the garden every now and again. When Bob got back he cooked...

Morning

We had a lovely afternoon yesterday, so nice to see the sun, Bobs cousin and so many happy people. I think Bob will be very busy at the park. i intend doing some ironing, weeding, and sewing. Have a good day all

Morning Sue, I hope you have a good trip over to Matlock... When I was going there regularly for the Yates engine it always took me three hours from Barlick.... no easy way of going there.... What I am watching now is Susan's flight leaving Perth for Kuala Lumpur, the first leg of her flight home.....

That’s where I met Bob. I was at school locally but met him at his freshers ball

Morning I had no problems yesterday and so far so good today. Its a misty start this morning with a good forecast. We are having a prompt breakfast and then driving to Matlock to have lunch with Bobs cousin and her husband who will be driving there from Leicester. We thought if we went early we coul...

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...
