Hannah was a breech baby.I had a C Section with her and also James.

Don't know the star, but the moon was very large tonight. As we drove back from Towcester getting our Chinese the moon was right over Blisworth. We all said together "LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT MOON"

The Chinese was as good as always. BEST WE HAVE LOCALLY. I had a soup and Curry with rice, Lewis and Ros had Crispy duck with pancakes and trimmings. Lewis's main was Sweet and sour chicking H K style. Ros had her Beef black bean and green peppers. we also were given a bag of Prawn Crackers. Which Ros and Lewis are eating as I type.

Had a good chat to Mel this afternoon. We were both almost Neighbours in as much, she lived where I lioved and had relatives in the Village where I was born. Her uncle served me with fish and chips when I was a very young boy, also Wet fish. Remember she is SO YOUNG compared to me.

Jane the best Lamb Shanks I have had are from ALD# loads of meat and gravy.

Your G F was a glutton for punishment David. three times married. Twice is enough for me. !!!

I suppose when I think about it. My mother had a lot of weight with us twins. I was 7 lb 4oz and my sister was just under 7 lb. And there is only one hour between us.

I will look at that site now Pat, and see the sky tonight ???? Yes I think it could be Jupiter looking at it's postion.

Good night if anyones around.

Show a leg....Another old naval expression



Learned recently that my GF died in Purdysburn Hospital Belfast 1/3/1940
What with data protection etc I wonder is it still possible to learn the cause of death?

Don\t know why but I was thinking og that out break of foot and mouth a few years ago.

The beasts were buried too near to a water course so they had to be all dug up and re located at Tow Law.Must the worst thing for a farmer.

Morning All and Evening Kim,

Sun and showers this morning and it waited till I let the bantams out and then it rained.


We had heavy rain in the night as I could hear it thundering down.

Hope everyone is ok this morning.

David the film they showed on the news of the pile of cows burning was just up the road to me. They also dug a HUGE pit all lined with butyl liner as big as a reservior a few miles the other way.
