It's been a busy year. Alarmed in July to find my weight and numbers had ballooned. Dr talked about increasing three of the medications. Asked for a reprieve. After Italy, realised I needed to stick around for the family. Fericious diet courtesy of Dr Mark Porter (which isn't as dire as expected) and last Saturday the nurse taking the bloods told me I had shed 1 stone 8 lbs. For the first time in years I am no longer clinically obese, merely overweight. Nine more lbs and I will be classed as normal (a real first, that, in many ways). So, Christmas will be enjoyed via the antics of the girls. T

Here’s to wishing you all a very happy Christmas and an extremely peaceful new year.

G'morning Y'all. Just wanted to wish all my friends at NS a very happy Christmas and a blessed new year. It's cowd here. A'int fit ta turn a dawg aht. As we used to say. Keep warm. Dave, Mrs L, and the boys

Good to get the shortest day over. It seems to get more important every year. After my visit to A&E on the 11th, I've been basically poorly since. Stomach bug and an ear issue causing vertigo etc. At least I got to see my GP. Something of a miracle. First time I've seen her for years. She thinks I'm 'fighting some sort of virus'. Losing so far... .. It's certainly dragging on. Finally can face food.. but still losing weight daily.. 9 pounds in 22 days. Maybe better tomorrow. Need to get back to exercises, swimming, walking etc. But..as you know I don't like to complai

Loved Mablethorpe plantfit went there often in the 60s always stopped in at the Book In Hand and stayed at a b&b on Victoria rd.

So the house names were in the Directory entry I posted two days ago. https://nottstalgia.com/forums/topic/23794-lucknow-avenue-and-the-goodall-family/?tab=comments#comment-698008 I assumed Glenthorne and Wingfield were the surnames of occupants. And the next house along is/was East Claydon. And the Goodall house didn't have any name.

Spending the day recovering from having my photo taken at hospital yesterday. After a weeks starvation diet I am finding it hard to eat, but looking on the positive side I am going to try and eat my share tomorrow with my son and his family , its been six months since I have seen my grandson. A scan to look forward to very soon. May I wish all Nottstalgians a merry Christmas and may you all have a have a joyful and happy New Year.

Loppy, hubby has a friend in Athens GA and said, he knew it would get cold but not this cold!

Newark on Trent this morning, got there early 08.15 expecting the place to be crowded instead not many folks about market was about half of what it usually is so got the fruit and veg, had a walk around then made our way back to the car for 10.00, the car park was nearly empty so everyone must have done their shopping yesterday, anyway back home for a coffee then set to in the shed for a couple of hours to start cleaning down a small compressor someone gave me, a good look inside with the aid of a torch and small mirror on a stick and it's pretty clean inside so a good spray with GT85 and all

My wife went into the village church this morning and found a baby in the crib that wasn’t there yesterday. Not a real one - a stuffed one. She’s not remotely religious but is roped into all sorts of village things including the church opening rota. Could this be an omen of the second coming?

Same to you DJ hope the New Year will sort things out.

Merry Christmas and a Happy and Healthy New Year to all Nottstalgians and Familys. xx

Merry Christmas all. Have an amazing time and stay safe!

Merry Christmas Beekay and Family and all other nottstalgians where ever you are.

Lest I forget, Happy Christmas to all...

The £10 Christmas Bonus didn’t go far to filling my trolley today. I thought I’d got on top of the food shopping a couple of days ago but needed to get more ‘perishables’ when I worked out how many hungry gannets will be landing on us over the next few days. Wish I’d stayed at home, I’ve never seen so many empty shelves in Sainsburys, with folk wandering around with bewildered expressions on their faces, wondering what they’re going to eat for the 2 days of Christmas! Anyway, I’ve compromised and bought what I could and I’m definitely not going in a supermarket again til next year. Merr

Great Northern Basin, Langley Mill this morning. It was raining a bit

Leawood pump station on the Cromford canal, the engine is a beam engine and it lifts water from th river Derwent up to the canal above at the rate of four tons per stroke, it is in steam at odd times but if you get the chance to see it running it is well worth it Rog

How me day? Paid a carpenter to build us a bespoke double bed, found out he’s done a bunk, It’s just one thing on top of another.
