...we can now go over to Halifax and see our son and partner in their garden!!:lol: No chance of doing anything like that in the Lubbyman household. We're in total isolation pending Mrs L having an operation in a couple of days time. Any breach of isolation and the op is off. Surprisingly, it's clos...

Thank you for your kind words, folks. I'm pleased to report that Mrs L's op took place today without mishap :D. We are both extremely relieved, as a first attempt early last year had gone seriously wrong. She is now back home with strict instructions not to do anything for a couple of days then take...

For some reason we still mess around with clocks at this time of the year. By moving back an hour we actualy loose 2 houirs of daylight!:shock: It doesn't make sense in the modern era!:(

It beats me why we make life so difficult. Difficult, for about thirty years I did clock changes in County Durham and North Yorks. It took Friday, Monday and part of Sunday. This one was the busiest, as the master clocks had to be stopped and restarted. They were done in groups and timed to get fro...

Our obsession with time accuracy started in the 19c with the introduction of railways apparently as timetables needed to be coordinated across the country. I learned this back in the days when Radio 4 had interesting programmes.

Why, when a parcel comes by royal mail, does the foot postie leave it in a safe place but a van driver takes it back to the depot? 2 parcels this week, both tracked, the first left behind the bins in the store and the second, this morning, taken back! I now have to trail into Braford to collec...

There are some huge pot holes on the country lanes of The Lake District. I hit most of them on a visit to Ennerdale this week. So I'm just back from the garage to have a new exhaust fitted

We have been back in semi lockdown for a while now. The shops remain open, as they did last time, and pubs and restaurants can do take away or delivery. The numbers have slowed, this weekend is crucial to see if we get more draconian measures. The Dutch Dashboard as a signal value on it, whe actio...

Grrrr... just got a film back that I had set to ISO 80 on the camera but turns out it was ISO 400! How very annoying. [Rollei Retro 80S v. Rollei Retro 400S]

I bought three lenses: A 24/2.8 M 120/2.8 M 35/2 All three have issues. The A 24 has balsam separation, the M 120 has fungus and the 35/2 has a stiff focus ring and something wrong with the aperture ring. I get the feeling people are taking the chance to clear their lofts and they're find...

It Happens Rob, I just ordered a pair of pedals for my old bike only to find a spare set at the back of the hut!:roll: Talking of bikes, the pedal type, we had a nice ride into Leeds along the canal this morning. Once we reached Granary Wharf it was bacon buttie and coffe time before riding back....

Stupid, stupid, stupid! That's how I am feeling after my old Dyson hand vac battery died and on impulse ordered a Gtec equivalent in the Black Friday sale. A replacement Dyson compatible battery on Amazon is 31 quid, why didn't I think of that earlier? What a dope. Anyone fancy a debate about the me...

I'm not complaining about it. Not at all. Quite looking forward to a locked down Christmas really. Got used to not going anywhere or doing much outside the home now. I'm not actually sure I want to go back to "normal" tbh. I miss my kids, and the chance to see my brothers, though sometimes I won...
