Re: POLITICS CORNER
We've already covered the announcement that Mark Menzies will not be standing again in the General Election. Apart from that there is no other matter claiming our attention in domestic politics. Mar Sunak attempts to give the impression he is in power and controls the administration. I suspect that ...

Re: MYSTERY OBJECTS
The triangular section of the ruler ensures that if it is set down on a piece of shafting it automatically adjusts itself to lying parallel with the centre of the shaft. It was used for marking key ways or similar cuts on a shaft. A very clever little tool.
Next object?

Re: Today I shall be Mainly...
Amazing what a difference a good dry day makes even if there was no sun!
I shall be in the shed for an hour as usual and apart from that there is nothing on my social calendar!
Looks as though we could have rain for much of the day so I shall leave any decisions about walks until then.

Re: COMPUTERS, THE AGONY AND THE ECSTASY
Ian, I am definitely not arguing with you or criticising you. All I can do is report what happens and as David says, the site was miserably slow. I am grateful for what you do for us.
Thanks for that Kev, I have done it but no appreciable difference, still lightning fast.

Re: TODAY'S PENNINE WEATHER
Morning Cathy. Yes, rain is much more welcome with you than it is here. We have had far too much this winter and many crops haven't been planted, we will suffer for it later in the year.....
I hope you have a nice day and just as much rain as you need and not too much. (I see Sydney got too much.)

I think you're right Ian, Grenfell casting a long shadow. Shutting the stable door after the horse has bolted? Sorry to hear it's affecting tour plans.
Lovely pic David and yes, that used to be a common sight at any large works didn't it. I doubt if it is common today......
