Bulwell did have a modicum of culture some years ago when it housed the Henry Mellish grammar school. It became a comprehensive, then a ‘sports college’. It went further downhill and was put into special measures. Sadly the fine building was demolished and the last time I passed by it looked like a bomb site.

Bulwell was the birthplace of one of Nottm's most famous authors, Stanley Middleton, who was also a man of impeccable taste, since he chose to teach me both English Language and Literature at High Pavement. :laugh:

Meanwhile, today, I made a supreme effort and cut the grass, front and back.  But.. as I tried to apply my Strimmer to the untidy edges of the front grass, it exploded.. launching lumps of orange plastic across the road.  The missiles missed my neighbour and his car, bouncing instead off a steel lamp post with a loud ringing sound... which was interesting..

 

So. I'm off to Amazon now to find replacement bits....

I admit I'd forgotten I ever did that........I took it off a couple of weeks ago, when I decided that things in general were looking a bit better than they had been in previous months.

 

And to make it even more topical, I'm having my booster on Wednesday.

Did you know a Pete Hornby at High Pavement, Col? He must have been in your year, or perhaps one above.

 

Can't say I recall the name Affer..but I struggle to recall my own these days...

DJ I know what you mean about forgetting names , I found the best way when meeting people whose name I have forgotten is to introduce myself, they then give me their name and it solves the problem. Often or not they are in the same situation and have forgotten names, its an age thing. lol

Today I is mostly peed off.

 

Finally saw a doctor after a three week wait who informs me both my ear drums seem to have gone walk about and I must make a appointment to see a specialist. Not only does the chemist not have the items on the prescription but the online appointment site informs there is a 45 week wait for treatment and will not accept bookings.

Today I have completed 'er indoors' list of birthday presents.

She is now the proud owner of a brand new kettle, and, and, a really out of the box battery operated tin opener.

Spoiling her or what?

Think I'll get her a puncture outfit for Christmas.
