I have an electric one in the dining room, comes in very handy when the central heating is being serviced. Yes thats what we think. The multi fuel burner was very efficient but messy to keep clean, not instantaneous heat and often got far too warm. Smokeless fuel lacked a warm glow too. I think we ...

The Yeti is showing 1.5 down here, that wind is biting.
Just checked the outdoor thermometer and it's 0C here now.

Is the takeover not going well? I know what you mean about getting back in the warm, it's a tad chilly out.

Just got a yellow warning for snow and ice from the Met Office, not sure how reliable it is but this evening into Wednesday is expected to see up to 3cm.

I hope he gets to the bottom of it.

Been to Sheffield today to scope out the locations for the wedding on the 21st. The wind was very cold there, it didn't rain though which was a bonus.

A frog had his DNA tested, turns out it's part British, part Irish and a tad Pole

Looks like a table leg...

I recently took a poll, 100% of the people in the tent weren't happy.

Yesterday would have been Col's birthday and Craig and I celebrated by doing something that Col would have really enjoyed, in fact it was his favourite treat. We went to Burger King in Skipton and sat in the car eating a whopper meal! Afterwards we had a little ceremony burying some of Col's ashes ...

They said sniffing rosemary is good for your memory. I sniffed Rosemary once, she hit me he that hard I don't remember anything now

Let's see how this one goes down...

Some bloke from Bangkok just scaled a mountain in Switzerland.

He was the Thai of the Eiger.

Yesterday's project was something I've been needing to do for about two years now. The knotty pine door, I fitted on the bedroom, has constantly bled resin through the water based paint leaving brown stains. I finally got around to sorting it with some stain blocking primer and fresh coats of under...

Word on the street is that power is off in Barlick Town Square, unofficial reports are that contractors have gone through a cable.

Is it for marking a workpiece? Centre punch?

Pasta for tea today at Fabello's in Foulridge. Current chef is Giovanni as Fabio is no longer there, the menus show Vanni'sso perhaps a name change is on the way. Needless to say the food was very good.

Same here, it's either carry on using it free, with ads, or pay £3 a month to subscribe without add. I've chosen for free but if the ads are too intrusive it's in the bin.

A potentially serious condition, hopefully they sort him out quickly.

Stanley wrote: ↑27 Jan 2026, 07:50 Two power drop outs in the last hour. No doubt due to the high winds. I hope this doesn't affect anyone who is doing serious work....

Been OK here in Foulridge so far.

Farting?
