Regardless of what Starmer says, it wont be up to him if he stays. They shouldn't worry about a leadership chang, they have along way to go to catch up with the death throws of the Tories. Tory Leader Kemmy is spouting as if they have a chance of forming the next government. :laugh5: One of the comm...

That banner is on display at Clarion House.

The Labour Party could try a bit of socialism. Fat chance with the media hype that would follow. Mind you it would need a Socialist PM to sell it properly.

Usually the gym late morning but not today. We are attending the funeral of Sally's cousin Donald, about the same age as me. Taken unexpectedly ill a couple of weeks ago and went downhill fast and died.Donald was a generally fit bloke and ex military so quite a shock. I was talking to him at a birth...

Cavalry arrived after lunch in the shape of my joiner Alan. He measured up and then went to sort a piece of outdoor five ply timber to make a stable level base for the shed. I pulled the shed to bits while he was away, quite easy as I only had 4 screws to take out to release the roof. He was back in...

My storage was delivered this morning at 9am. After un-boxing and checking all the bits I started screwing it together at 9.30. All went well with the base, both sides, the back and the roof which you secure at the back rail but leave the front loose to fit the doors. I fitted the upper and lower ra...

hey seem to be making a big production of the delivery Ian.... I hope they can manage it today! All sorted delivery wise Stanley. Driver called me when he was on his way from Rochdale said it would be about an hour, He and his mate rocked up just after 9am in a Transit Van. Will put my temporary wo...

Received a text this morning regarding delivery of our new storage shed. Same as last time, the driver is supposed to ring us before he does the drop, ideal if you need to give him local access information. Didn't happen last time when they abandoned the delivery due to the "really steep" ...

Here you go Kev.

There is a nice Turkish restaurant in Skipton, been a few times, excellent food.

Today is the Silentnight Michael Hartley memorial football match at Victory Park. There are both Junior and Senior games. Proceeds are for Bosom Friends. First deployment of our new Gazebo. We are running a Tombola for the day. We will have help deploying but will have to pack up ourselves, children...

We will be having a Italian peasants sharing dish for tea tonight Uova in Purgatorio or eggs in purgatory. I saw the recipe on a drama programme this week where in the storyline an Italian chef was showing a bloke who cant cook how easy it is to make a tasty meal. Its an Italian variation on the eas...

Well, I wont be building our new storage shed this afternoon! Just had an interesting conversation with the dispatcher for the delivery, the crew have reported that they cant get up the "steep hill" (the stone setts off Skipton Road) in their wagon, which apparently is of such proportions ...

Going to the gym late morning then accepting delivery of our new yard storage shed, out for delivery after 2pm. I will have it to build but it only needs a screwdriver.

Something we have never seen before in our front garden, a hedgehog. I was just drawing the curtains as it was coming dark when I noticed it rummaging in the foliage. Cat was in the garden and very interested, she had a sniff but thought better of it. It wandered off under the pear tree. When I fenc...

I heard one of the news readers use SNAFU the other day.

I have said it before one beloved executive order by Trump could sort this. It's the ultimate get out of jail free card.

Sawing my pent shed roof in half and stripping the rubber roofing sheet of it. Done one skip run this morning to shift the majority of the shed to the skip. I cancelled my gym session for this morning, too much to do and I am a getting a workout with all the shed shifting tasks.

Sally painted the wall this afternoon so that end is now ready for the new storage. I moved on to inspecting my fishing tackle, had it all out and cleaned where necessary. My aluminium bank sticks had a bit of corrosion so I have given them all a going over with wire wool. On the tackle side I think...

Warm enough working in our sun trap back yard.

I have jet washed the wall and two flags width back towards the yard. It wasn't bad at all under the old shed. I have given it a scrub with the deck brush and bleach which is doing it's stuff for a bit while I have a brew. I will swill that off shortly then jet wash my fishing box. It's a Shakespear...

Congratulations Sue and Bob, it's our 50th in December.

I suppose I should really put our back yard refresh and shed replacement in here rather than What Attracted. I have dropped the rest of the pent shed and I have the whole thing in the car apart from the roof. I will have to cut that in half as is one large sheet of board. I replaced that a few years...

Keter is now 80% owned by a British consortium. My replacement storage comes on Friday. I am about 75% into dismantling our old pent shed. It's all in the car ready for a skip run on Thursday when they open. Ideally I need to do the last bit tomorrow so I can jet wash the wall behind and get a refre...

You put that one up last Friday Kev.
