She got two small bottles of these drops, four times a day for four weeks, she does say they sting like you say Jill and i do feel for her but the discomfort only lasts a few seconds, I have found though If I hold the small bottle in my hand for about fifteen minutes before use it does warm the contents slightly so the drops aren't so much of a shock when they meet with her eye, i don't know whether that helps or just a psychological effect Rog

The Ladies Humber sport is a 1934 model, Raleigh took Humber over in 1932 but this one could possibly have been built at the Beeston works, the headtube badge says "By appointment to the king" and is a genuine Humber transfer, I took the picture at the Lineside working weekend vintage show near Swineshead Lincolnshire last year and the bike is mine Rog

Putting this picture here but it could also go in the my bikeride thread A lovely pair of Humbers Rog

She's doing ok, don't like the eye drops but the alternative would be worse Rog

Showers on and off today so no bike riding but did get a bit of work done in the shed, helped Mrs P with a spot of house cleaning and had a walk to Bassingham (next village) to the shop for some milk and butter, watched half a DVD in the shed "Cab ride from Marseille to Paris on a TGV set, speeds upto 320Kph, cooked dinner for us and washed the pots, now time for a shower and a sit down in front of the telly for a time before Mrs P's eye drops need to be administered again, four times a day for four weeks poor lass but it's better than her getting an eye infection, anyway hope you've all had

Lizzie, Great Grimsby (to give it it's full title) is a nice place with some great people living there, a lot of maritime history especially in the fishing industry not forgetting Cleethorpes just up the road has just been accepted as a major rail terminal with link to London via the new Azuma service trains Rog

In some cases "Banter" could offend the wokies and snowflakes of which I'm sure neither are members on this site Rog

It's the only way to travel mate, in fact the little chap in the middle could be holding my Penny Farthing cycle Rog

ADMIN, CAN WE HAVE THIS PERSONS POLITICAL RANTINGS PUT IN THE POLITCAL SECTION PLEASE? I have blocked this persons comments but they still come through when someone uses the "Quote", for what it's worth lestsavagoo I agree with you Rog

The experiment with the oval chainrings continue, today in the post was a new 38 teeth oval chainring, the oval is much more pronounced with having two more teeth than the last one, now what I did find out when turning the crank was the amount of oval yet the rear mech (changer) doesn't move as I expected it stay in the same position, the crank spindle is in the same plane the oval chainwheel has about an inch deviation from centre so you expect the rear mech arm to move back and forth with the chainwheel, I think I need to do some more investigating Rog

That's the word I was looking for "Arrogance" yes the people on the other end of the phone are just that, they give you the impression THEY are doing YOU a favour yet in reality they are just carrying out the instructions an employer has given them, (bloody jobsworths) Rog

On order Rog

I did sometime wear a hard hat and a woolly hat at the same time Rog

I agree Jill, Boyes in Newark the same although I only sit outside on Bridge street while MrsP goes into the store I can see some of the stuff people bring out Rog

I always wear a baseball cap, I've got a couple of flat caps but don't wear them, country folk wear them and I'm just a ragamuffin who grew up down the meadows so a baseball caps fits in well, still never thought about wearing a hoodie, Rog

Now there's the thing, if I did that the council would pick it up double quick and like you say save me the £37.00 problem is the countryside is at the end of the close where I live so I would be dumping it on my own doorstep, plus with the curtain twitchers in the close I don't think I would get ot out of the gate before someone asks "where you going with that Rog?" end of the day though £37.00 is not the end of world (mind suppose it is if you only got "£36.99p Rog

Councils don't want to do anything these days for the customer, what they don't seem to be able to grasp is WE pay their wages so really WE are their employers, bring back the old days when the bin men would fetch the bin from your garden and take it back again I say Rog

Well I hope when Mrs P's eyes are back to how they should be she will be able to see what a catch I am Rog

Anyone heard from peveril peril (Terry) and radford red (Nick) lately? Rog

I certainly will pass on everyones wishes and thankyou all, very thoughtful and kind of you Rog

Now you two have got me worried, I think while she's in Lincoln tomorrow I'll have to sort a lot of stuff out and hide it away in the sheds, plus the new walking shoes and cycling shoes, hopefully the postman will arrive early tomorrow with my new chainwheel, oh heck I can see me not getting much sleep tonight now Rog

Mrs P's cataracts sorted yesterday at Louth hospital, not a very good night for her but much easier today after I put the drops in her eye, that seem to ease a lot of the discomfort, things still a bit blurred she said but getting better, four weeks of eye drops four times a day then an appointment at the opticians in four weeks time followed by a check up back at Louth hospital. really pleased she got the cataracts sorted, the only downside if that's what you could call it is she can now see how many cycles I've got in my sheds (joking) Made a phone call today to the NK council to come

stuff like this would finish a layout off perfectly, railways or trams and motor cars and lorries,buses and cycles (never thought of those) could be something to lookout for in the future, I don't do much modelling in spring summer autumn but winter in the shed with the gas fire on and music playing through the dvd/cd and telly what more can you ask for Rog

The question should be "Can any high street shop survive" with high business rates, cost of parking, car parks well away from the centres, plus the ease of on line shopping and the councils don't seem to be interested in attracting people to the towns, sign of the times I suppose but such a shame, I feel sorry for the people who will lose their jobs Rog

That's the one Barrie, the one I saw the centre or the road was covered with paper and painted the same as the road that allowed the magnetism to connect to the cars little magnet, I forgot all about the magnets, yes it's a great system and the one I saw working worked very well, thanks for the picture it was a great memory jog for me Rog
