If i don't laugh i'll cry..............my morning in Bulwell was a total disaster....not been for over a week so was looking forward to it........
Anyway whilst driving there my 'Speaking Valve'' fell out...Turned out i'd put the wrong one in......so now i'm Voiceless...but eh-ho i'll get by with a few bits of sign language.......
I was really hungry so ordered a big breakfast in Jeromes'' using sign language in a fashion......was really enjoying it when my ''Essential Tremor kicked in...causing me problems using the fork..splashed the food around somewhat but persevered and finally managed to eat most of it....
Oh and just to round my magic morning off...my teeth fell-out half way thru Breakfast.......LOL

Only just seen this video...........Found it fascinating...and the reasons for the building of Aspley estate and Old Bestwood estate i find heart rending............people in ST Anns and such areas were living in what we today would call squalor.....and these new built Council Houses were a blessing from above when the people started moving in in the 1930s.....
Many people today knock our Council estates but never stop to think of their origins.....and the better lives it gave so many people...........
