Reluctantly selling my 1959 HMV stereo record player. It's on ebay if you want to search for it. I suspect it's the only one, and certainly in the best condition.

Hanging the washing out is my favourite job, as it means good weather. This is our son's clothing, so a lot of joggers. He can't manage belts, zips. or buttons. The wood pile is the fence which blew down in January. We'll be warm next winter.

Steam on the East Lancashire Railway today. While my wife was shopping at Tesco, my son and I were next door watching these engines coming in to Rawtenstall Station.

Oh no, RDP is a nice protocol, and as fast over the network as VNC. Luckily it won't affect my local NT4 Terminal Server, which I mainly use to run Office 97, and IE6 which is the latest browser my camera will work with.

If you find people with this lack of empathy, do everything you can to disadvantage them; don't employ them, don't vote for them, don't help them, and for goodness sake don't breed with them.

Bad luck, Neil. First thing is not a great time to be washing shit off your foot and carpet. Meanwhile in Pendle where the witches live...

A lot of history on a walk yesterday. An old railway line, a waterwheel that once hauled coal from 200' underground up an incline, and an abandoned farmhouse. "Workhouse Farm."

Miserable weather here all week. Dark, cold, damp, with a cold easterly wind. I'm keeping the fire going to cheer us up and save money. No shortage of wood, with all the trees and fences blown down on 24th January.
