Spring Back

Spring Onions.

How upsetting for the owners @nonnaBnot just the fact of intrusion of their personal space but to go around totally wrecking the place. I can’t imagine how distraught they will be feeling now, it’s awful.

My son has some Scandinavian customers who have bought a house not far from us. They come here every summer and about 2 weeks ago they came down to tidy up for the summer. They’d been broken into. He has video surveillance and all sorts of alarms. The thieves couldn’t get through the usual channels so they managed to break a window and get in through the cantina. Once in they practically demolished everything. Doors , windows , furniture and whatever they could damage they did. The relief was that his daughter should have gone with some friends for her birthday party and they would have been

It seems the weather is really taking of with the wind behind it. This time of the year we “should” be enjoying some good weather . Yes we are having some very warm weather in fact every day for the last week we’ve been sitting sunbathing with 30 c Well it didn’t last long the wind blew and we have snow…. not quite but almost. It’s turned icy cold 7c . We stopped the CH but have put it on again. But we only have it on a couple of hours in the morning and again in the evening. The few plants we have in pots have all got new leaves and are quite forward. Figs have been forming since January an

Sorry thought I read peacocks. Having said that I remember thinking they weren’t quite the right shape

Fried Rice.

Fried egg

Apparently half of it is close for a refurb or sommat so didn't bother, might go when it's all finished though always a good day out there, there is a lot of groundworks going on at the station too Rog

No visit to the Railway Museum PF?

. From Nottinghtransport,com: "It’s great to see such positive feedback from the community! The bridge is part of the Transforming Cities initiative and aims to enhance pedestrian and cyclist connectivity across the River Trent". They pat themselves on the back and boast 83% approved the idea. But... There were 1198 responses. 83% of that is only 991, this means they based their decision on the opinion of less than 0.3% of Nottingham's residents. More than 400, almost half of those that approved the idea, thought the location was in the wrong place. Look

Had a lovely day out in York today, checked the weather forecast before setting off and it looks like being a nice day but rain coming in about 14.30 so off we went, bit of traffic on the A1 for some bridge repairs north of Barnsley but other than that it was a nice drive, used the park and ride at Askham Bar, £2.40 for the two of us which was nice, first off we went for a cuppa at the Castle tea rooms plus scrambled eggs on toast just under a tenner for both of us, then a walk around all the tourist routes including a walk around the wall and a riverside walk looking at the pleasure boats, ni

That's my point Col. Someone has been digging in the mire, politics and politicians are getting desperate, nasty and personal. The Tories can't convince us their policies are working, thus we have the attack on Rayner in the hope it damages Labour by association. Despite the weasel words Labour really have not presented a single itemised or realistic costed argument. I've said it so any times, they are totally bereft of any clear and communicable ideas. Now Menzies has given them a bone to chew. And so both parties are now resorting to scrabbling in the dirt of th

They've approved it. https://westbridgfordwire.com/waterside-bridge-for-river-trent-gets-unanimous-support-from-councillors/

As with Rayner.. we'll have to wait and see. However, it seems his party has known of 'allegations' for months and only now taken action. I think that's the fourth Tory MP to lose the whip recently. To quote Lady Bracknell: 'For one MP to lose the whip may be deemed unfortunate, but for FOUR to lose the whip smacks of carelessness'

So now it's Starmers turn to demand a police investigation - tit for tat anyone? I've no idea what Menzies has been up to, but although it all seems rather unsavoury, was it criminal?

And to make it on-topic the opening picture of the video, shows Dave Rowberry (2nd from right) who took over keyboard after Alan Price left the band. Dave was my elder brother's school pal at Henry Mellish and they formed a skiffle band from there. He either lived on Roseleigh Ave or Fernleigh Ave, Mapperley can't remember which.

I remember that, but it's not one which comes to mind when anyone mentions The Animals.

Egg Custard.

Talking of San Francisco who remembers this from the Animals https://youtu.be/8hv0M5etXFA

Happy 60s.....Dance...Dance.... Dance Duck? Maybe later You might be missing out I'LL take my chances......

People of a certain age might remember "Let's Go to San Francisco' by the Flowerpot Men in 1967, who were just a group of session musicians. They recorded a few other songs but none were successful. One was 'In a Moment of Madness'...which was later released by White Plains...although it was the same people. I'd forgotten how good it was.
