Nonna.....when you first posted this photo it didn't come out correctly, but I've fixed it.......CT

My 2 little cuddles

What you've just said, Brew, has just triggered one of my memories ......not of Sneinton (sorry). When I was 16 I went out with a lad who was 15 for a while. We broke up and I said he could ring me up when I was 30. Guess what. In 1973, my Mum told me that a man had phoned our house in Nottingham to ask if I still lived there. (I didn't) She asked his name and it was him! I was 30 years old by this time,and Mum told him that I had been happily married for 7 years and had 3 children. When Mum told me, I felt very weird.... nostalgic, sad, happy.... not sure really.

Yesterday

I got over you eventually Margie..............took a long time though......

This is Dr Laurel Rubel who said: “math is neutral because 2 + 2 = 4” trope “reeks of white supremacist patriarchy.” Ironically, associating mathematics and basic knowledge with white men actually undermines Marxists’ ostensible goal of empowering women and people of color." Another uni prof, Rochelle Gutierrez , jumped on the bandwagon and said: "claim that referring to the Pythagorean Theorem with that term involves “colonization and erasure. teaching maths perpetuates white privilege" I would like to know when their visa to visit Earth expires...

The question which has to be asked......who - or what - was Mac ?

@LizzieM I’m feeling for you xx

A very satisfying day for me today. Our fishing club are contemplating taking on about 3 miles of fishing on the upper Trent. It has not been fished for decades and has suffered several major pollution incidents. So 6 of us did a trial fish today. Amazing! We all caught several large fish each including a few trout up to 4 1/2lb and chub of a similar size. Some nice Grayling too. So, we will make an offer The Trent lives on

A miserable day indeed but I've just got into bed and it's great to pull the duvet over instead of laying on the top sweating!

And we've got the foto to prove itLizzie.

Margie, I'd find that a bit weird and unsettling that someone could remember to make a phone call like that after 15 years. It's a case of "haven't you got anything better to do?". Even if I remembered someone telling me something like that, I wouldn't dream of putting it into effect because there's no telling what can of worms might be opened.

Cricket in the entry on Kentwood Rd, three wheel bikes and scooter races down the slope from the Dale to the Blvd. Up the back alley on Jubilee St, over the wall and come out on Bleasby St. No idea why it was quicker to run round the corner... Piggle tar from the cobbles, it's lie that you can eat it! Climb the wall of the garages on Thurgaton St for a drink from the tap... Sob my heart out on the corner of Jubilee St when my little girl friend emigrated to Canada, we promise to meet there again when were 21... she never came.

Bolzano is in the Italian Alps. Gewurztraminer is a variety of grape grown in that area.

Anyone else noticed the Apple (was it Google as well?) track/trace app is being tested where the non-working one was tested, was it the Isle Of Wight, and one other place I can’t remember. Stable, horse and bolted comes to mind. Still better late than never. I am also somewhat confused why people coming back from France before 4am on saturday aren’t being told to quarantine only after that time and date. Somehow don’t think the virus will discriminate between them. I would have thought those going abroad would have realised this could happen?

Lovely day yesterday Cheers everyone, water and milk will not solve your problems but neither will wine but it does taste better.

Only just got this BK , you take it easy and I hope you're feeling lots better soon.

All of the boys at my school had haversacks - I remember one had Eric is God inscribed on it in biro. I lived on a council estate, went to Grammar school and had a satchel - was that allowed?!

My satchel, bought 59 years ago just before I started Grammar School, spoilt by my fair hand when I got interested in boys and pop groups. There’s lots of felt-tipping on the inside too. Just could never bring myself to throw it away .........

Now you’re making me feel guilty Beekay

On a very hot day, cool down & chill. Let me entertain you - Chris Farlowe (Rolling Stones), Steve Miller Band, Small Faces, Buffalo Springfield, David Bowie.

Neither have I and until I read about it on here I had never heard of it. What would be the nearest equivalent?
