I throw in a selection for best female singer, i am not necessarily saying she was the best performer, but she had one of the best voices i have ever heard, and i know she won't be everyone's cup of tea. " Connie Francis" . Her first hit, which she did not personally like, Who's Sorry now, shows how she could just hold a note. Have a great weekend.:)

I've always been a sucker for a female voice, and Connie Francis certainly had a good one :thumbsup:

Connie Francis is great. Guess my favourite is Billie Holliday. Especially the mature one.

(I think she likes the knife.)

Mine too, I think, Vince, and I have been listening to her since I was a baby :) She had a wonderful voice, which increased in richness and emotional depth over the years :) Cool pic :D :cool: :thumbsup:

Edit - Sorry for missing the link Vince, my connection must be slow today as it didn't load at first. I had to pause God Bless The Child to listen to it! :D :thumbsup:

I just noticed I missed this post! Sorry Dave :( Another good source of food-grade mineral oil :thumbsup: I have been struggling to buy that here too these past few years, but the shop I used to buy it from closed unfortunately. The business was founded in Leeds by Pietro Maturi in 1899. He was a cutler, and would cycle around the city sharpening knives. Over the years, it developed into selling high-end kitchen equipment. They had a beautiful old display board of knives inside, which I hope are still in the hands of Pietro's great grandson, also Pietro.

Conversion of your emergency generator to natural gas may seem to be a good idea until during your emergency, the utility company shuts off the natural gas. Have you looked into a dual fuel conversion kit?

Yes Ed, and thanks for the heads-up. :thumbsup: Actually the conversion kit is for a try-fuel setup. Gasoline, propane, and natural gas.:):):)

Good Morning Guardians, welcome to the weekend ;) Hope everyone has a good one :) No hike for me sadly, as I have work to do. Hoping I can at least get out to stretch my legs later. Thought I'd slip my AC in my pocket :thumbsup:

That looks to have been a very nice store Jack. It's so sad that such businesses are now relegated to history.

Thank you very much Bill, it is a cherry, just at the back of my house, I love the way they look in blossom :) There is one in my next door neighbour's garden at the front too :thumbsup:

Glad to hear you're getting some sunshine my friend. That's a very attractive photo :) This is usually Carnival weekend here, the oldest West Indian carnival in Europe, but it is cancelled this year. Last year, it was fantastic weather, and I was drinking rum cocktails in the street. This year, it's raining and unseasonably cold (the coldest on record for the time of year) :( :thumbsup:

It was a little pricey, but they sold good quality stuff Dave :) I used to shop there a lot, and miss it. I'm sure you would have liked it :) :thumbsup:

Great to see you here buddy, and your AC :) I thought that was some very interesting and attractive stag, almost like soup-bone! :D What's that tasty treat you have there? :) :thumbsup:

Been working hard here today, but found time to make a small blackberry crumble ;) Hope everyone is having a great Saturday :thumbsup:

Great photo and bit of history, that is the sort of shop that my dad would have been a regular at, and possibly would have had an account there, but i suspect they would have had the " Don't ask for credit as refusal may offend ", sign behind the counter.

Nothing wrong with that, i have food grade safe Orange oil that i also have in the house, i get it from a local furniture maker for all my wood furniture and chopping boards. I have found it to be the best knife oil, not to thick and does not gum up, i have some in a needle bottle applicator and it gets right into the knife joints, also can use it on blades, and great for horn and stag and bone scales. All the generations that went before us always used what they had at their disposal, they did not have the luxury of what we are able to purchase. And they were smart and knew what worked.:)

Here is one of the shops I used to frequent in Sheffield when I was a youngster :) So many knives you could barely get in the door, and Stan Shaw worked twilight shifts upstairs :thumbsup: I still see quite a few of those signs here :D :thumbsup:
