You've seen it before....

I have an idea the site software can only accept Youtube videos but I might be wrong....

I hope you have a good break Sue....
I am up again after four hours of second sleep. All seems to be well so far. I shall brew a pot of tea and consider my options....

Food for thought.....

https://oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/31295/medium I had to decide this morning where I wanted to go next. I decided to bite the bullet and get set up ready for painting, one of my least favourite jobs! So I wasn't in the shed for long this morning, all I did was break the castings ...

PATIENT CHOICE 2 January 2006 Before I even start I’ll admit to being angry. The immediate but subsidiary cause of this state is having to listen to Patricia Hewitt lecturing the nation on the subject of ‘we are right and you are wrong’. How one person can achieve such Olympian status in the field o...

AFTER THE WAR WAS OVER 30 December 2002 Jim finally got back to Barlick and Civvy Street in summer 1946, he was thirty years old, married and had survived a very close brush with death. He decided to take it easy for a while, enjoy home life and have a look round. The first thing that struck him was...

HERE'S the latest news from Trump land.... Updated 10 minutes ago US President Donald Trump has said the month-long ceasefire between the US and Iran is on "massive life support". He told reporters in the Oval Office on Monday that while the ceasefire remained in place, it was "unbel...

Chicken and veggies X three.

Cheese and Onion pies and current sad cake. I do miss my baking but unfortunately delights like this are now forbidden.....

THIS caught my eye and reminded me of my 'drugged to death' articles.... 38 minutes ago The UK's leading baby-safety charity and an MP have written to the health secretary calling for "urgent action" to regulate the infant-sleep industry, following a BBC investigation. In the letter, the ...

Yesterday afternoon was dry, bright and cold. We had sun right up to nightfall and then a quiet dry night under largely clear skies. This morning it's clear and dry and we have a light frost. The glass is steady on 1012mb and the forecast is for an overcast day with light rain late morning before a ...

Far beyond my pay grade Gloria, you need Ian or Kev.....

I think it's wonderful that you are helping her Sue. Where else could she find mentoring like that? She will never forget you! I shall be in the shed early doors working on my castings. Not sure where I'll be going this morning. I am very close to a tear down and painting session...... I can feel a ...

I have to differ David.... I think there are too many senior figures who have made up their minds. It looks to me as though we are going to get Andy Burnham shoe horned in and that will take some time, I'd guess at three or four months. Listening to Starmer telling us that he was not going to damage...

Nice to see you're not letting your eyes hold you back Kev.....

SHAKESPEAR Would I lay down my life to save my brother? No, but I would to save two brothers or eight cousins. John B. S. Haldane.

My sweet potato chips are done and in the fridge. I am just finishing a load of 40C washing and the last dry clothes are put away upstairs. All I need now is for the bin men to empty my bin.....

He's delighted Cathy.... And so he should be. It would be impossible to replicate the shed today, the elements just aren't available.....

Big email from Susan who is in Oz at the moment. She and Mo are clarifying arrangements for my tools after I die.... Nice to be able to get things sorted with them. Basically I am giving Muthomi everything that is engineering related including the books..... She is back home May 24th.... It will be ...

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....?

Bright fresh morning here in Barlick Gloria....

https://oneguyfrombarlick.co.uk/app.php/gallery/image/31291/medium This morning I tapped the cylinder for the studs needed for the back lid. Minimal fitting needed to adjust the register of the lid locator and the holes. Half an hour's careful and error free work. Just how we like it. Now for break...
