The light is flickering away this evening but no heater on,the central heating is on. it makes us feel warm just looking at it.

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 ...

Morning Sue! I hope your delivery works out. I have sorted out the mistakes Everest have made in the Well takeover.... and had a short walk round the Town Square in the process. Very glad to be back inside in the warm..... IMG_4385.jpeg And we have bought wall paper. What a price that was for the t...

Morning That sounds an arduous job Wendy, but hopefully it will solve the problem permanently I have few plans for the day. We are awaiting delivery of the new fire. If it comes early enough we may go and look at wallpaper. Otherwise I think we will be wallpaper stripping or I will be doorframe pain...

It's cold, wet drizzle here. I have got a man in to sort out my drain issue, I hope he can get it sorted, I'm fed up with water streaming down the yard! Still, Wendy. Thats a long standing problem. Roof work all done by lunchtime. Being a 60 year old bungalow it was a small chimney and only a small...

Morning This morning I will not be going to French conversation. Instead I will be going to the u3a Local History group in Todmorden for a talk entitled.. ‘August 1842 - The People versus the Establishment’, about the Chartist movement. Bob is not able to go as the roofers are coming to take down ou...

Morning Another morning of waking up late, I suppose we must need it. Today I shall wash and change the bedding and do the iron8ng. There isn’t much, one advantage of winter clothes, jumpers don’t need ironing. Claire and Erin are coming for lunch as they are coming over for the rugby at Spotland. T...

I forgot to mention Bob finished making his Christmas present last night. It is third kit he has made . Do you remember the Marble Run and the Orrery

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 ...

Morning We have both just woken up and it was light, in fact it was nearly 8.00 am. What a shock. It was a busy day yesterday for both of us but we didn’t feel more tired than usual when we came to bed at 11. It might be light but its grey and windy out there. This morning is u3a art at Todmorden, t...

Morning I had a good art session yesterday and am really pleased with the result. Bob finished washing and painting the lounge ceiling so I think his next step is the dining room, then we can move on to the other gloss ( which I normally do) . We have decided to get rid of the chimney which we think...

Morning Its a much lighter and clearer sky this morning , calmer wind but still very cold. We have a conflicting forecast, the hour by hour graph shows a dry and sometimes sunny day with no precipitation, the overall forecast says heavy snow. It won’t bother me, I shall be warm inside. I have a zoom...

Morning Sue! I think you'll sort yjr machine out, you have the right sort of brain! I remember what my dad once told me.... "When all else fails, read the instructions!" Good luck with it.... All sorted, he was using the wrong sort of backing fabric ( stabiliser) and putting it into the e...

Morning Well we have none of the snow forecast over Rochdale, instead it is heavy squally rain , yuk. This moning someone is coming with their embroidery machine for me to have a look at. They bought it second hand but can’t get it to stitch out properly. There could be all sorts of reasons ie wrong...

Morning

Its due to be very cold today which does not bode well for my French class in Haslingden, where it is always cold anyway. I think it will be extra layers of clothes today. I have no plans for the afternoon but it is is yoga this evening at the studio. Have a good day all

Morning We had a good day out but did not finish the route. We started at Pendle Heritage centre, had coffee in the cafe and found clues in the park. We drove to Downham, found clues in the village and the church yard as well as having a very nice lunch in the pub. By this time it was after 2 pm, th...

Like the other series of books they have a fictional story running through them and a crime to solve using notable landmarks as clues to help you solve the mystery.,

I'm not allowed to wear anything white, or with white in it, especially if I'm drinking red wine.
:


I fully appreciate the reasoning. Bolognese sayce and BBQ are also risky food sources

Morning Another late sleep however not a good one as I was awake till nearly 4. Today we are having a day out , doing another Mystery Tour. Its a different series of books but still good. We were going to Leeds but did not decide earlier enough to prebook train tickets thus the price we would pay is...

We went to Grane Mill at Haslingden on Wednesday, we got a tour by our nephew who is a volunteer. It’s in dire need of someone with the knowledge to raise funds. It could possibly be linked with the East Lancashire Railway, but that would also need someone with knowledge. It would be really sad to ...

Oswaldtwistle Mill, found some new bedding and some James Pringle tee shirts in the sale. Was going to have a coffee but the cafes were shut. I go to the Sewing Centre at Oswaldtwistle Mill. All my sewing machines come from there and are serviced there. Yes they do hqve some lovely bedding. Bob get...

Morning Woke very late for us, now need to get moving as our new cleaner ( pilates friend’s daughter) is coming at 9.00am. . This lunchtime is theu3a wine groups’Christmas’ meal, i suppose we will be back late afternoon. It looks dry at the moment, not sure about the weather forecast. Have a good da...

Morning A busy day yesterday, hair cut followed by a history meeting in the afternoon. The latter proved interesting with a few ideas for visits thrown into the mix. I have two to sort out, a trip to Ordsall Hall in April and a trip to the Peoples Museum in Manchester in November. I have been battli...

Morning Its a little bit lighter this morning, as it was yesterday evening, with January nearly finished the worst is over. Even my geranium cuttings are beginning to look very healthy in the conservatory and on the bedroom window sills. This morning we are both at the hairdressers, this afternoon I...

All good thanks Stanley
