Yes, I caught the virus a long time ago and was lucky enough to be able to kick car-ownership into touch. That cures it completely!

MAURY I worked out the theory at the cost of much thought and elaborate comparison and I think that I should have full credit for my theory of the relations of the star spectra. Antonia Maury to Edward Pickering, 1891. Antonia Maury resigned her job at the Harvard Observatory. The director of the ob...

I think the hiatus in the Notes is because Bob is in transit between London and St Louis..... All will get back to normal soon....

It's frightening Kev. The only time I can identify AI is when they get technical things wrong that I am aware of.....

What is it?

You're right Sue, definitely looks the best presented of those four.....

No but it makes sense Kev. I found I had this reverse version of the image also which I suspect is the correct one. The duck foot cultivator was what triggered me because I couldn't imagine there being arable land at Colne.

The sun has burned the mist off now..... It's a nice day.

I remember it as being an exciting time Kev, even though in my case I got a complication....
On another matter, can you have a look at the image on Forgotten Corners please? Wendy and I think it's wrong and we need an image search if that's possible.....

Sounds like a lot of work to me Sue. So you won't be there long? Do you get a longer stay in summer?

Do you know Wendy, it nagged me a bit as well but that's what I was told....
Perhaps Kev could treat us to one of his image searches?

The bed casting for this engine was particularly rough so I had to spend 30 minutes fettling it on the grinding wheel but I now have it ready for milling. I have prepared my chicken for roasting as well so I deserve my breakfast.

THE LOCAL ECONOMY 4 November 2004 One of the techniques that Daniel Meadows taught me many years ago when he was helping me with my photography was ‘Shooting up to the point’. This entailed shooting a series of pictures in rapid succession of an event or person, trusting to instinct and the subconsc...

THE EARLY HISTORY OF BARLICK (6) 17 October 2001 This week we are looking at Barlick during the first millennium BC. Anytime after 1,000BC. During the whole of this period there are some trends we can identify which were happening all over the Isles. We’ll have a look at these and then try to unders...

Yesterday was slightly less sunny but still a very acceptable day. The afternoon was bright overcast but calm. We have had a quiet dry night and first thing this morning it's calm, dry and we have a very slight mist. The glass has fallen a bit to 1018mb and the forecast is for a clear day with full ...

HERE'S the latest on Iran.... President Donald Trump says the US is considering "winding down" operations against Iran, but that other nations must guard the Strait of Hormuz. Trump adds that he does not want a ceasefire, saying "you don't do a ceasefire when you are literally oblite...

An old image of Colne. I don't know where it is or the exact date. Pre 1900?

See THIS change of UK policy...... The UK has agreed to allow the United States to use British bases to launch strikes on Iranian sites targeting the Strait of Hormuz. Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer previously allowed US forces to use the bases only for defensive operations to prevent Iran firing m...

Three helpings of chicken and veggies, a nibble on a sausage for second breakfast and I fried my sweet potato chips for an extender....

I shall do an hour in the shed on my castings and later on, after second sleep I shall roast a chicken to keep up the flow of protein into my manly frame.

So did I!

It's doing everything I want it to so yes, I shall be leaving well alone.
Thanks again to Kev for doing the research for me....

Try 'trivet' and it's for resting hot items on so that they don't damage the polish on the underlying surface. Usually made of metal.... (Mine is cast iron.)

Give Well/Everest their due.... they delivered my meds before 17:00. But they still owe me 14 Sitagliptin tablets.....
