Came across an accident on Friday lunchtime, a mk 4 golf had failed to make the turn at 449 lights into the estate opposite Castle golf course. Not sure how the car finished up there but it was on the wrong side of the road and had hit a vehicle waiting for the lights. To make matters worse...

I have been fettling my dome clock today after it stopped last week. I have some clock oil and thought it might just need a bit of lubrication but on closer inspection there was a deposit of black oil on the escape mechanism so cleaned that at the same time. After running it without the...

Perhaps try the higher grade petrol, the type with detergents in to keep engine internals clean. The amount used in a lawn mower would not cost a lot more to use than standard petrol.

Missed that display, I did see similar a few years ago. There is a new adaptation of The War of the Worlds coming to bbc. Damien Timmer, Executive Producer of Mammoth Screen, says: "Here we are, making the original and best alien invasion story for the BBC One audience - it doesn't get...

No sign of the Moon here either.

If you are finding the night's a bit warm for sleeping :zzz: here's a classic film to watch.

Noctilucent cloud display, quite a good one. Along the northern horizon.

Nice colour.

My bin day changed from Friday to Tuesday. I checked on the website to see if a last collection might be done on Friday but it was not shown as such so I did not put the bin out. Friday morning at 8:30 a bin wagon arrived and started emptying the green bins. :hmm: Except mine. :grr:

I have had an automated phone call this afternoon saying the same.

Arise Sir Barry

Tarmac melted on the road outside the house this afternoon, not a good thing when you have gravel on your car parking space. My wheels are now about 24 inches diameter. I would not have ventured out but had something to pick up from town,I am now the appreciative owner of a portable air con...

My first go at driving was in a Maxi, well sort of. Dad managed to break his left hand while changing a power press tool so, aged about 13, I was nominated as chief gear changer.

Something to look forward to later this year.
