bbishop Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 A friend from SEGOG has a massive stroke a couple of months ago. What with time lag pertaining to monthly meetings, my holiday and Lord's, I didn't contact the care home until Tuesday. Planning to go today, I rang the home to check visiting hours, to be told that he died yesterday. RIP Maurice Baker. Bill Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnDMJ Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 (edited) Good evening all! Somewhat overcast and a little chillier today on this part of the coast. Trains running as advertised too! Morning everyone.... It only water and you sit in that in the bath! ...Back later. Best dress code for this time of year is T-shirt & shorts - if it rains, skin dries out a lot quicker than waterproofs! Yes the whole book!! Twice? POTS day tomorrow. Hopefully, my thumbs will be back in action; can't use either of them ATM; have to hold the pint with both hands! Ouch! Night All.

emt_911 Posted July 21, 2016 Share Posted July 21, 2016 I don't know why, although I can guess, but I'm totally fed up. Absolutely no motivation or energy to do anything that I don't have to. Bill - Really sorry to hear of your news Dave - My thoughts are with you. I seriously hope that it went well. Another early start again tomorrow back to the Reading area. Hopefully the day will go to plan. Time for bed and at least it's a bit cooler tonight.

RMweb Premium PhilJ W Posted July 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2016 Evening all from Estuary-Land. Enjoyed watching 'Full steam ahead' on BBC2 this evening, the best bit IMHO was the ride on the Ffestiniog gravity train. Interesting in that the program concentrates on the social changes bought about by the railways but still plenty there for the enthusiasts. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium BSW01 Posted July 21, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 21, 2016 Good evening everyone. We had a great day at the flower show today. I didn't find the tools that I was looking for, but I've ordered my new shed. I got a great deal too, as I managed to bag an ex "Hampton Court Flower Show" display model, which was over a third off the normal price. It's comes ready painted AND includes delivery and installation, RESULT. For the first time we didn't buy any plants either. SWMBO saw some, but as I'm hoping to give the garden a makeover next year, I thought it best if we wait. The weather was very kind to us, cloudy for most of the day, which kept the temperature down. When it finally did rain, which wasnt until mid-afternoon, we were taking to an artist friend at her stall inside one of the marquee's, so we didn't get wet and by the time we walked back to the car it had all but stopped! After tea I once again ventured into what SWMBO calls "the man cave" and again applied paint to the handrails and spindles. Four coats now applied and tomorrow, weather permitting I'll fit them. Whilst in the USA a few years back, we got a free upgrade as the compact car that I'd booked on line months before was unavailable, oh and our upgrade was a Ford Mustang convertible. John. The like is for the attitude of your FiL.. long may it continue. Stewart. What a nice gesture from the kennel owner. Dave. The church looked lovely, glad that it all went well, thoughts with you. Bill. Very sad news, sorry to hear it. Off to bed now. Goodnight all. 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Gwiwer Posted July 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted July 22, 2016 Dave. The church looked lovely, glad that it all went well, thoughts with you. Bill. Very sad news, sorry to hear it. My sentiments exactly. Thoughts with Dave and with Bill today. On the home front father continues a very slow decline and is now confined upstairs between bedroom and bathroom though is managing three "meals" a day; each consists of a spoonful of something mushy. SWMBO is back at work today though not feeling her best; she has a Most Important Meeting with her board of directors at some point which I'm sure I shall hear more about later. Heavy rain overnight. Spots on the kitchen floor again. I'm darned if I can find the spot it's leaking through. Chickens found paddling in a quagmire of which Hippo might have been proud; they're now free-ranging the back yard enjoying weeds and what ever else they can find. There's nothing important growing so no need to keep them off the veggie beds. POETS Day not applicable; I'm booked off anyway. Shall I clean the house or the layout? St. Austell Proper Job IPA to accompany what ever we choose for dinner tonight. It's travelled well and it's worth the effort. Best wishes to all.

RMweb Premium Popular Post newbryford Posted July 22, 2016 RMweb Premium Popular Post Share Posted July 22, 2016 Thoughts and best wishes to those that need them. Late on tonight as I had a "request" last night from Mrs NB to go and give support to the new night guy, as a very regular visiting party had arrived for a couple of days drinking/golf/drinking/card school/drinking/golf/drinking/eating/drinking/golf. As it turns out, I wasn't really needed, so returned home and spent the last hour or two programing my new Megapoints servo controlled route setting system on my new layout. Earlier this evening, I joined up with the "Thursday night lads (and lasses)" to lead a mountain bike round around the Clapham and Austwick areas, west of Settle. It's one of my favourite areas to ride as there's a multitude of little loops that can be added together as time permits. The first climb is straight up through the tunnels onto Thwaites Lane with a left into Long Lane - blimmin steep that one. If I was anywhere near normal bike fitness, I would have had that climb. Although the rear view is worth the effort. Ingleborough soon comes into view. I did take a picture of Pen-Y-Ghent, but it wasn't that brilliant, so instead is a view eastwards towards Settle and Skipton The descent is grassy, smooth and very quick. Although I was slowest on the uphill sections, I made up for it with the downhill. Getting there in plenty of time to catch John (65 and fit as a butcher's dog) at the bottom of the hill We came across this large lamb who proved that cattle grids work. Mother is in the background, saying "I told you so". We went to help, but it suddenly managed to leap out and free itself and ran off with Ma. Next was the single track towards the hamlet of Wharfe - it's nicknamed "Star Wars" because it's a reminder of the scene in the original film, where the rebel forces are trying to bomb the Death Star by negotiating a very narrow channel at speed. The trick is to go first and disturb the flying insects that promptly distract the rider behind you............ Part way down the singletrack, Dave has a go at the ford and has to be rescued by John. I knew that the water wasn't shallow, so had already taken to the bridge. I had warned Dave, but......... I did eventually manage a photo of Pen-Y-Ghent as we headed over to Feizor to pick up the Pennine Bridleway back to Austwick. And then a return back over Thwaites Lane to Clapham. Although it was still quite light, riding through the two short tunnels was a bit fraught as there was no way we could see the ground. Apparently, I was the only one who didn't stop or walk because of the rough surface. When asked how I managed it, my reply was "I kept my eyes closed".......... 18.5km with 440m of climbing, weather comfortable and a good bunch of riders. A most pleasant evening. My legs are a bit tired and my backside is a bit tender form not having ridden a bike for a number of weeks, but my head is still buzzing from the enjoyment factor. Late start to work and a high chance of POETS with some modelling tomorrow today. Hope those that can POE, do so. Cheers, Mick 30 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt_911 Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Morning all. A bit cloudy and only a slight chance of rain, but at least it's still warm. Another decent nights sleep and still feel carp. Lots of coffee to consume. Still feeling fed up and although I know what that means I still don't know the cause. Mick - Some stunning photos of the ride.

chrisf Posted July 22, 2016 Share Posted July 22, 2016 Good morning one and all, with special thoughts to Dave and Bill I did very little yesterday apart from ironing, going out for a blood test and taking late lunch. I find humidity uncomfortable and too much moving about compounds the problem. In these conditions anything that involves moving about is best done early in the day so I might just gamble the parking space on doing the fodder run a bit early. At least the supermarket will be cool. At least also the cough shows signs of easing and not before time. On Sunday members of the HMRS area group will be going to Quainton Road. This is a preservation site that I have not visited for a frighteningly long time. If I recall correctly it is precariously close to the line of HS2 and has among other notable exhibits an Egyptian steam rail motor, which I suspect is not in working order. I hope it also has a balmy breeze. Best wishes to the ailing, recovering, supporting, grieving, missing and depressed Chris 15 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
