Very sad that we have lost one of our Guardians Mark @zolthar Thanks to Frank for posting a link to the announcement

Here's one of Mark's photos from this time last year

Happy Tuesday Guardians and Head Guardian, Jack.

Lost quotes again. These are some of them I can remember:

@strokednbored - What a sweet little girl. Her eyes show a lot of personality in there. Also, I dare say it's obvious how much she likes her apples...(and owner)

Prester John - Being a carpenter, it's only fitting I should have a hammer collection, right? I have a pile of them and you've given me the idea to start taking some Lambsfoot/hammer photos.

Jack Black & donn - enjoy your Lancashire day celebrations tomorrow, friends!

Crazy Canuck - well done! That's a pile of goodies! I look forward to hearing your thoughts on them, Jack after you've had some time to get to know them.

JohnDF - Sorry to hear of the remodeling woes and hope you can get them rectified in time for Thanksgiving.

@mitch4ging - Good to 'see' you Dennis.


Apologies to anyone my faded memory has missed.

 

[Crazy Canuck]

Sad news indeed, Jack. Appreciate you reposting the link.

Morning Guardians. Almost time to head out to work. Snowed a bit last night, and the radio's saying the roads are a bit of a mess. Google traffic says my commute time is about the same as usual though, around 30 minutes.

Love this watch, but the 4 (IIII vs IV) really bugs me... How did they get 9 right, and not 4?!

I know Jack mentioned it too, but I thought Lancashire Day was the 27th, on Wednesday. It's still Monday the 25th here, and only 4:13 am on the 26th in England right now. Or is it a two-day feast, like Purim?

I blame Jack and Rachel... Kidding

Sorry to hear that John, I have had some bad tradesmen myself in the past Sorry again for getting the day wrong for Lancashire Day, I knew the date, I just got the day wrong!

Nothing wrong with celebrating a little early.
I mean, they start celebrating Christmas in October, right?

I thought I was the only one... It smells so good!

Sorry to hear of the remodeling woes and hope you can get them rectified in time for Thanksgiving.

Thanks, it was a little frustrating.
Obviously they pulled some guys off another job to finish up our little complaints and they did a rushed job.
Everything they did for two months was top-notch... but everything they did on the last day was crap.

Happy Tuesday Guardians and Head Guardian, Jack.

Many thanks Mark, that's a great pic Hope you have a good day

So annoying what that happens! Thanks Mark, my confusion has meant that the Lancashire flag gets to fly on my kitchen counter for an extra day! I better make sure it doesn't get spotted here in Yorkshire or I'll be getting lynched!

Yes indeed Mike, such a young guy too Hope you have a safe commute my friend, love that pic That's bizarre about the 4 My everyday watch is an Orient, and I have been very pleased with it (the strap is a bit of a let-down mechanically). I didn't know they made pocket-watches

Thanks for understanding John, though I think the blame is all mine

I do miss all the smells you got in the past, from the bakeries, the breweries, the coffee roasters, they would spread for miles, but I only encounter them rarely now. Yet, every time I've gone into the local supermarket for the past 10 years, I've been greeted by the smell of butter-rich cookies - even though they don't even bake anything there!

Well Guardians, as David donn noted at the weekend, tomorrow is Lancashire Day, when those born in my neighbouring Northern county of Lancashire celebrate all-things Lancashire In the spirit of solidarity with those poor souls unlucky enough to have not been born in Yorkshire, I will be genning up on Lancashire this evening, and hoping to celebrate with them tomorrow, perhaps having a pie and/or a chip butty, and most definitely an Eccles cake. I'll also see if I can get hold of a Lancashire-brewed pint to toast my Northern brothers and sisters and wish them a very Happy Lancashire Day

Edit - Sincere apologies Guardians! This Yorkshire pudding got it wrong! Lancashire Day is not until Wednesday! Very sorry for the confusion Thanks to Vince Prester John for spotting my mistake

Happy Lancashire Day, Guardians!

Thanks chaps; though you had me a little confused then.
I hope you enjoyed the Eccles cake Jack. I'm going to have to grab myself some of them to.

We're just past midnight here, so here’s to Eccles cakes, Ventile, Alfred Wainwright, steak and kidney pudding, Tony Wilson, Meccano, the Jam Butty Mines, Wigan Casino, Eric Morecambe, Marbles Brewery (with a really stupid website), George Formby, the Peterloo martyrs, Albert Finney, Morecambe Sands, Peter Kay, Fishermen’s Friends, Fred Dibnah, Lancashire hotpot, and the Red Rose of Lancashire Have a good one David (Edit - On Wednesday! Doh! )

That's quite a list of achievements their Jack. And here's me thinking that all us Lancastrian's had ever really done was annoy Yorkshire.
And I'm going to have to look at Marbles website now.

It's not a two day feast; Lancastrians will just eat as normal. A couple of bacon buttys for breakfast, 3 or 4 sausage rolls for lunch with maybe a pasty or three after. Then some cake or a tart. Couple of packs of crisps (chips) and a chocolate bar or two. Then half a pack of biscuits with a brew mid-afternoon with an extra large curry or fish n chips for tea. Washed down with half-a-dozen cans of cheap lager or a few pints down the pub. So just a light diet really

I mean, they start celebrating Christmas in October, right?

October? August over here.

Sorry for the confusion David I haven't had my Eccles cake yet, but I'll be sure to have at least one tomorrow. I'm hoping to get a chip butty in, at least one sausage roll, a pie, and a pint of one of Marbles beers. That sounds like the Eddie Yeats diet!

I was making some soup earlier, mainly butter-nut squash, but I made it hot and spicy, lot of smoked paprika, ginger, turmeric, etc

Had the big 'un out today to make a snack for my apple-eating buddy. Every night at 8:45 she starts eyeballing me to let me know its time. You could set your watch to that dog.

Enjoyed this pic very much, the expression on her eyes is priceless

Hello Guardians
The snow is almost totally gone ... but it will be falling again shortly I am sure

I enjoyed the Braggot immensely. The brewery that makes it over here has a number of variations but only had a few available when I visited the pub that they were present at. The Red was delicious, the IPA tasted like an IPA... and the other offering they had was a Farmhouse Saison. I don't like Saisons so I skipped that one. They have a Stout I'd like to try and a Blonde as well.

Thank you! And the only holder I have for it presently is my hand so I have to drink up before I can get anything else done . That said, I've been meaning to at least make a tabletop holder of sorts, should make for a simple project.


I have this Lambsfoot close at hand today, as it usually is.

That sounds like an enjoyable range of braggots then. I like my stouts; I don't think I've ever had a saison though.
I don't know if you've seen something like this but here's how this company get their drinking horns to stand up.
Nice picture.

That sounds a great soup. Just don't dip your Eccles cake in it.

I've not done much today other than throw money down the drain...

Is it Lancaster Day, yet? I've never had an Eccles cake, but we'll have lots of kolache Thursday on Thanksgiving!

 

[Half/Stop]

Indeed a beautiful knife, Ron!
Looked like a great final adventure for Linus and Ron!!

Thank you Dennis!

Looks like Linus is developing a personal relationship with each of your other lambs foots, Ron!

That Linus was a very friendly Lambsfoot. What I’ve found typical of the breed is the more of them you have the happier you..... oops I mean, the happier they will be!

Hello Guardians! I just realized that I forgot to post my carry for today.

It's snowing. It's like this here at the house but I copied this traffic cam just down the road from us. Oh joy!!!

Just a couple of hours to go, then all the Lancastrians will be hitting each other with black puddings and clog dancing and what-not! That looks good Rachel, hope you and your family have a wonderful Thanksgiving

Hello Guardians! I just realized that I forgot to post my carry for today.

Nice shot of your WCLF Ron
