Thanks, I have a whole list of symptoms which medical science cannot explain. 😆

Thanks, they are going to attach something to me so they can monitor what happens when I am asleep tonight. My wife thinks I might have sleep apnoea.

Wow! You definitely should have been awarded the Nobel Peace Prize for that suggestion. Stable geniuses are never recognised in their own lifetime.

Thanks for confirming what I expected would be the case. I don't swear much in everyday conversation but one of my Bluesky friends taught me the abbreviation JFC, which seems appropriate here. I am off to Broadgreen soon, that's my priority today! I am OK though. 😄

Hi Rachel, Sorry but I won't be on here much today. I have to go to the hospital for another scan. I only received the letter telling me about this appointment yesterday lunchtime. I feel fine but they want to investigate all the possible causes of my symptoms. See you later, Steve

I never had a rod which was strong enough for pike. My brother did. We ate one of the pike he caught once. It tasted of all the mud at the bottom of the river/lake where he had caught it!

I dunno but he posts that picture every time he wants a bit of sympathy. I am beginning to think he is being sponsored by Lemsip.

Thanks, it must be 50 years since the last time I saw a perch! Our canal is the Leeds-Liverpool canal. 🙂

It is a good thing to do. There is nowhere to go fishing here. A few people go down to the sea wall to fish. The beach was mostly destroyed by the currents which changed when the entrance to the port of Liverpool was made deeper to accomodate bigger ships in the 50s (?) There is a canal near Bootle

I should be coming back soon, to visit my mother.I have no other relatives left in Norwich now - just an aunt and uncle who live near Diss and some of my mother's cousins who live the wilds of East Norfolk.

I meant "you" in a general sense. You are single-handedly keeping the coarse fishing industry of North Norfolk and the neighbouring counties afloat!

Oh yes, I have not lived in Norfolk for nearly 40 years. I can't remember them all! 😆

It used to be one of my favourite beaches in Norfolk; the other one being Hemsby. I think they have both suffered from coastal erosion now, though?

Not far from Stiffkey, Costessey, Wyndmondam and Tacolneston. Norfolk is not for the likes of you; it is for local people!

Decisions, decisions. I have just been tidying up so far. It had to be done before I go out to work in the garden.

Morning, Kaci. Have you had your morning coffee yet? I haven't seen the picture!

The days of saying, "I agree with Nick," seem a lifetime ago now, don't they?

Thank you for posting this yesterday. It inspired me to go out and continue restoring my garden. It was neglected for a long time while I had health problems. I feel better now!
