During the first lockdown the local bypass was almost silent, nearly no vehicle noise when sitting in the garden or walking the dog round the adjacent fields. Unfortunately, the noise is back again :(. On a positive note, my wife is now having weekly home deliveries from Tesco rather than me havi...

Just back from a short camping stay in North Yorks.. ,,washing machine's on, awning's airing and I'm now off upstairs to sort out the sparebedroom to get it all away. And that all follows an early delivery of groceries that Mrs HG is putting away.. Ah, good times...:wink:

2004. 65. Just retired. Had some TLC to do to the house. Kitchen. New fittings and new cooker. Needed new hob. Salesman said "have you heard of the new Induction hobs?". It is brand new technology says he. It maybe in the kitchen says I but I was using induction technology in the year 1955 as a 16 y...

Had to fill up yesterday as the 4x4 tank was low and as I'm travelling more & more I thought do it now. Queued for 30 mins and took 75Lts of diesel (I did pay). Back out today to fill up both bikes and no queues! I can't remember ever riding both bikes on the same day.....

Filled up on Thursday for a drive to Yorkshire on Friday. Will fill up again next Thursday for the drive back home on Friday. Buying, but not panicing. Just getting what's needed when it's needed. Anyway, John Denver's 'Grandma's feather bed' is playing so life is good. Thank goodness there's mor...

I have a brand spanking 'new' spare wheel and tyre in the back of my Skoda Octavia. It comes out now and then to check the pressure. Given that it has been there for twelve years how safe would it be to actually use it?

Maybe you need a conkbrella? Think of me, week off work, plans to get into the Brecon Beacons and shoot some mountains and this morning my PCR test came back positive and I have to self isolate for the whole week off. If that wasn't gutting enough - I'll be home with my twin 10 year old boys who ...

Battered - but not like cod. I hope you are recovering by now Gareth. I am coming back slowly. We were on holiday last month near Whitby. One day I was pottering about the village with camera, binoculars and other clobber. I planned to look out for my wife, doing the rounds of friends, so I he...

Yikes Martin, you certainly are in the wars :( Here's to a speedy full recovery for you. I just read the comments, I'm feeling a lot better now all 8) I get fatigued easy but I'm finding the longer it goes on the less I become but sleep comes very easy to me at the mo which I'm not knocking! A...

Good to see you back in circulation, Gareth. Take it easy (if the kids will let you!), one step at a time, an occasional bit of light photographic therapy, listen to what your body is telling you, etc. etc. And like any sensible man, pay attention to what the lady in your life says - they're usua...

Thanks both. Certainly feel a lot better John and more positive but I think it's going to be a while till I'm back to full strength and feel more stronger. Steve - that did make me laugh re SWMBO! When she found out I was trying to do housework etc when she was out and then felt 10 times worse t...

I hope you'll both (Taffy and Gareth) back to full working order soon.... ...and everyone else, keep safe - we're at risk of becoming conditioned to accept the number of Covid cases (and unfortunately deaths), and as Gareth has demonstrated it hasn't gone away and won't anytime soon - as individ...

Schools are pretty much back to normal now with no masks or bubbles so it can be easy to forget how dangerous the virus still is.

It must be a day for achievements, although this might not be in the same leaugue. The process having eldued me, Sue solved the age old dilemma of how to fold a Uni-Loc tripod so it will go back in its bag. :shock:

It is in their interest just as much as yours that any outstanding issues are dealt with promptly, and the case closed. One last comment, the IR inspector told the accountant during my case that they fail to recover money from clever individuals so to get payment from someone like me, even if it isn...

During an attic clear out I found loads of colour slides I thought lost, of a camping trip to Norway as a callow student in the 1970s and accompanied by a female friend. We parted ways on our return home and never saw each other again; someone said the past is another country but sometimes I wish I ...

We feel your loss. Plenty of photographs I am sure, which in turn will bring back memories of happy times together. Regards John
