Yes, sat out on the school field for the festivities and i got stung by a wasp

Schools break up on Friday here. Daughter, on her bloody expensive full-time degree course, finished for the year at Easter 🤷‍♂️

Our boat came with a Talamex 16kg French Anchor (which i believe is a danforth-style) Currently resides at home in the cellar, whilst i keep forgetting to acquire a similar weight of ballast to put back in the bow locker to replace it.

Don't remember much of 1976 as i was only just 4yrs old. Can tell you on the 13th July my Dad was taken ill, on the 17th he was taken to hospital, and on the 31st he died of a brain tumour.

So that's what Ken Barlow is up to these days

Nearest we got to water in '95 was paddling in the Thames at Reading Festival Biggest recollection (apart from some bands and duststorms of dry parched grass) was J getting up at about 6am to visit the kamikhazi's as the pump truck had just been and finding a dealers stash on the path, a few hundred quid wrapped around some packets of unknown powder. Binned the drugs, spent the cash, free weekend!! Was also the last hurrah of my VW Scirocco GTi

They not making you do the long trek to Halifax then? Although friend from up the village recently had to go for a heart monitor fitting at the new facility that's been built where the old sports centre was, very swish.

Not only in Victorian times my friend. When myself & J were getting wed, we used our local parish church. Figured we'd better show up at least once for the banns being read because how bad could it be. On the assumption it would be like the parish church where i grew up, service was about 30mins all in. How wrong we were, 1h45m of torturous seating and a good long hellfire and brimstone sermon about the wages of sin in modern society Can't tell you how thankful we were when at the last minute it turned out the vicar was double-booked and we managed to get my old vicar out of retirement to hold the service for us

Did it not originally have a stop lock at Marston though? It could therefore be dug to a different level to the Coventry and six inches when well watered is neither here nor there but more problematic when overall levels drop? I could, of course, be massively wrong
