Use the air fryer they cook in less time and make a great job of it; we have had one a few months and the wife only uses the oven for yorkshire puddings now. The one we have has three shelves in it so she is able to cook different items at the same time.

My wife and myself have the date for our booster and we still wear masks in crowded places. Since covid first arrived we had the jabs and wore masks, these restrictions worked, the wife has a chest disease and was regularly ill with infections. Her GP gives her antibiotics to keep at home, with the instructions to take them at the slightest sign of an infection as she would not survive a full-blown chest infection. Since having the jabs and wearing masks she has not had any problems at all, so for us the vaccine and masks work and despite other opinions we will carry on doing the same.

Get well soon, take things easy.

My wife is under the impression I am, as I spend long periods doing nothing with both hands.

Congratulations Mr and Mrs Beekay enjoy your day.

Happy birthday Lizzie.

From your tales on this Forum it appears you "scored" more times than your fair share.

Wow has the time flown, I can remember having a coffee ( and a cigarette or two) with you just before your op. With your character you do not let any body know you are feeling down, after all we are Bestwood boys. I still owe you for that coffee we will have to meet up some time, keep chatting with the ladies.

Clff Ton I always worked on that principle myself but the last year has not been too good. One thing after another breaking and other silly things going wrong, besides my health , but life seems to be testing me lately. As a friend said to me if I did not have bad luck I would not have any luck at all. But today is sunny and I am just about to go for a coffee in Hucknall and sit outside and watch the world go by and people watch, life is great, I think.

My days recently have not been to good , my shoulder is still giving me grief . Yesterday shakes from my shoulder and spilt my coffee , besides being rather hot on a delicate part of my body it covered my sound bar remote control. I have tried all ways to dry it out , the remote control, with no luck, so I have just ordered a new one £25 ,well thats sorted but the other injury is still trouble some. I keep telling myself tomorrow will be better, I hope.

Beekay I was sent on screens to work for a few weeks when I was a bad lad.

60 years ago in August 1962 as a 15 year old I started working at Bestwood pit as a 15 year old, as an apprentice electrician. One week at Hucknall training centre the next at Arnold and Carlton College , where have the years gone.

I am convinced that they have a list with each step to take, if one does not work move down to the next on the list and so on. Continue like this until it either works or the patient gives up and goes away and puts up with the problem. As the time for each patient is limited they do not appear to have much time to talk to the patient in any depth , that is of course if you are lucky enough to have a face to face appointment.

I also burn logs, but I use smokeless fuel most of the time . I start the fire with logs as it is faster to warm the rooms up , once warm enough coal is used for the rest of the day.

Thats it Ben I put my bad memory down to age.

Another name for you to remember sorry forgot his first name Mercer from Arnold road, he came from a small family of about 8 lads.

You just beat me to posting it Ben, I saw an immediately smiled and thought of you.

Is this the Beeston club where one of our members had many adventures in the 60s.

A magnificent building a credit to Nottingham.

DJ I had my 6 week follow up on Wednesday , arrived 1330 hrs and I have to wait for xray before seeing consultant , Wait wait and wait till Consultant comes and finds me and takes me to his room and examines me and tells me to keep doing physio and he will look at my xray Thursday, total time 5 mins. Go and wait for xray again, had enjoyable time talking with several different people , great place to meet new people. Finally had xray , time taken about 7 mins, so at last to the car park to go home, checked ticket £6 time in car park 3hrs 47 mins. I could have found better things to do on a ho

thats left for troggs to do, we are well known for it.

Beekay still wrestling with pain, unable to lay comfortably in bed , so spending most of the night in chairs. But things will become better so I am told, still waiting.

Great photo, as with Ben shows the area which I remember with great fondness. The bridge arrowed leads through to Andover road and Marsdens which we have been told a lot about. The Bridge was locally known as Marble Arch go through there from Bestwood Estate and onto the great wild world of Bulwell and Basford, great memories.

Things could not have been that bad there as Jill has told us many times about the tea rooms that were there. Run by pythagoras and recommended by her favourite maths teacher. Sorry Jill I had to write that.

NonnaB you are a very talented Lady, I enjoy looking at the work you do and I am fascinated by the characters you design, what I appreciate most is photos of the food you make, yes the main like of my life is food.
