Morning all Wonder if DD has reached Spain yet.

A lift eh? I suppose it would have its ups and downs.

There's still some left.

Winter must be on the not-too-distant horizon. I've just had a bowl of genuine 'stand your spoon up in it' homemade broth.

Just looking at users browsing ERs at the moment, I see Bing is with us. I wonder if we ask him nicely he'd do White Christmas.

Should have gone to Specsavers.

Don't forget a couple of push bikes with full coal sacks slung over the cross bars being pushed up from the beach.

So that's why my windows fell out.

There once was a hooker from Wigan .....

..... and might it be known as Schrodinger's tat.

I suppose I am fortunate in that, so far, touch wood, I have mostly avoided medication. The most I have had were some painkillers when I cracked a rib a few years ago and I took them only for a week or so. The side effects were psychedelic rather that physical.

Are you in the in-stent-sive care unit? Seriously though, hope that you recover well. I know I am overweight but have a will power of cotton wool when it comes to losing weight. If I do get a wake up call it may be too late so I really should do something.

Have a safe journey and a relaxing break. You deserve it.

There is a village to the north of the area shown called Tinwald. A different spelling but seems quite a coincidence. Does Tinwald/Tynwald and Man have a apecific derivation in a geographical sense?

It must have been bad. Do you think he's noticed yet .........

Morning all The builders finally left yesterday. We still have to decorate and recarpet/refloor throughout but we are no longer living out of crates and boxes. We are going to have to go through room by room and 'deep' clean but we feel as though we are starting to get our home back. We have survived by telling ourselves that it will be worth it in the end and it will 'all be over by Christmas'. I should be able to turn my thoughts to modelling again and the new loft layout soon. You don't realise how much you enjoy these things until you are forced to put them on the back burner.

........ and vice versa.

I don't want to upset you just when you are getting the hang of it Tony, but we stopped using them in 1971.

Nah - nothing as sinister - just a haircut...... ...... by the permanent wayve team. Or perhaps a Crewe cut. .......or in my case a wipe over with an oily rag.

A couple of pages too late.... ...... but another photo of a railhead treatment train.

....... he is not a Muse(d)

Well, I've just about recovered from my earlier than usual start and am now heading for the NRM outpost at Shildon for the Shildon MR Club's exhibition. I notice that we were down again earlier, when ERs are normally ERing. Is this some sort of conspiracy? I must have a look in the Grauniad to see if we appear in any secret official lists of undesirables.

Great to hear that, DD. Morning all .... and no, I haven't wet the bed, I'm up a little earlier than usual as i have taken son to work. I didn't offer to do this, I was instructed.

Just wait until the end of the season.
