Great photo Steve. Spalty rules

Thanks AW !

26?! It was just the four of us this year, and I still needed time to recover. That was mostly due to the fact that my wife had to work until noon, so it was me and the two hooligans all morning while I tried to get everything ready for Thanksgiving dinner.

I think I'd need time to recover after dealing with those two rascals Barrett!

Be careful, Jer!

The first time my mom's now-husband came to visit, he put an English muffin in our toaster oven on a paper plate...

I've really been slacking on knife photos (and forum participation) lately, so a recycled Lambsfoot photo will have to do. How about some Ebony?

It's great to see you here buddy, I love that pic

Senator Rose is out and about today.

Looks like she's having a nice day

Thank you Jack. Glad you had a good market day.

Thanks Dwight, I was surprisingly tired last night

Cool pic buddy

John that lamb is sitting pretty....thankfully all our leaves are gone.

We have quite a few still on the trees here

Nice photos Jack.

Thanks Todd

Evening Guardians! Jack glad you survived the cold at the market. 19 again today.

Many thanks David, glad you're enjoying your '19

The tortillas, I just wandered off and forgot about, and this thing has a twist timer so every setting is a crap shoot. The croissants I got to just seconds before they would have ignited. They would have been fine, but I left the machine on "toast" instead of switching it to "bake" at 250.

I have to stop reminding myself to ride herd on appliances and start doing it. Mindful eating, that's what I need.

Glad you're OK Jer

There have been a bunch of recalls on these things for units catching on fire or melting. You can easily look it up if interested. I think it was like 68 fires in the US and 36 from Canada. Buyer beware and unplug when not in use!

I think mine would be going in the bin! English or not!

Home late today but for a good reason. I volunteer for a non-profit which throws a two week Christmas festival. I do the security fence, charter transportation and parking. Best part is that once the festival kicks off, my work is mostly complete so I get to enjoy it.

Had a great time and now on the porch with some suds.

That's a long Christmas festival Pete. I have volunteered for that kind of work myself in the past, and run bars at big festivals (eg Glastonbury) for good causes. Hope you enjoy yourself buddy, I love that pic with the moon

Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone has had a decent week. I am off to meet my unreliable mate for coffee at Charlie's cafe shortly, and then head into town to get a bit of shopping for the weekend. Have a good day Guardians, I'm carrying Big Rose again Picked up the pin in the market yesterday

Working men's (or trades) clubs were once very popular here, particularly in the north of England, as a cheaper alternative to public houses, and existed in areas where local magistrates might not grant a license for a pub. Typically, they had a drinking room, a room for entertainment, and might have a snooker room. They organised trips to the seaside for local kids, and other community and sporting events. My grandfather was involved in setting up Hillfoot Working Men's Club, in Sheffield, in the 1930's I think, and I was enrolled as a member when I was 18. Unfortunately, they were a bit out of their time by then, and after the demolition of the neighbouring slum housing, where my grandparents had lived, the club closed a few years later. Hillfoot was just a few streets, next to Sheffield's River Don, but it is where John Barlow, Obadiah's grandson, who first registered the famous 'BARLOW' stamp, died. After John died, Samuel Barlow, (unrelated), who lived just across the river, in Neepsend, purchased the mark. Here endeth the lesson!

Big Rose is looking good Jack.
I always find the stories of different cultures interesting. Unfortunately, younger generations are only concerned with the here and now. So much of the richness of our past is being lost.
Enjoy your wanderings today Jack.

Glad you're OK Jer

Oh, yeah. Thanks. No harm done.

I think I'm the problem with this one, but I'll look it up. Thanks.

I'll take a picture in daylight, without the toaster oven, when I'm back from the knee therapy.
I had the other therapist last time, and she surprised me, when I didn't obey her fast enough, by seizing me and flopping me into position with her bare hands.
Good thing I have such deep reserves of gravitas.

Thanks Bob, me too, it's incredible how fast social history can be forgotten about, or completely misinterpreted. One of Sheffield's fondly remembered landmarks was known as 'The Hole in the Road' I doubt 1 in 10,000 Sheffielders is aware that the hole only existed because the city council ran out of money to pay for the great glass dome which was supposed to cover the hole

Oh, yeah. Thanks. No harm done.

I have to admit that I have similar accidents more often as I get older

She sounds like a bold one! I briefly had a yoga teacher like that once

Jack, I enjoyed reading about The Hole in the Road.

Thanks Steve, there's quite a lot online about It always surprises me that the dome never gets a mention, the artist's impression was even published in the local newspapers

 

[JohnDF]

Great Fall image, John.

Thank you, Harvey.
Fall is in full bloom around here now.

Monolithic Picture, my friend.
I'm glad you get some time to actually enjoy the fruits of your labor.

Cool pic buddy

Thank you, my friend.

Hope your buddy shows up this time.
If not, at least you picked a place you frequent.
That's a great pin, and I enjoyed the history lesson.

Thanks pal, he was only 10 minutes late I wasn't too bothered, as I was talking to another couple of folks in there. Going to Charlie's is really testing my language skills, as well as Yorkshire-English, I used Arabic, Spanish, and my very limited Italian. Then when I got home I bumped into my neighbour from the Ivory Coast, and had a fairly lengthy conversation in French! I spent some time in Rome in the 70's, but found the Italian spoken there impossibly fast. Speaking to other Italians, it seems much more manageable though, so maybe in the New Year, I'll try and learn a bit more, perhaps even book a holiday

Just having a cuppa and a jam doughnut

Is that a multivitamin Jack?

That was pretty cool even though unfinished! Pity that they filled it in.

Hi Jack, yes it’s fun to participate isn’t it?

Our festival is Thursday - Saturday, so it’s only 6 nights. Last year our attendance was a smidge over 80,000

LOL! Definitely Bob

After WW2, and the baby-boom, they talked about 'cities in the sky' here, and the same going down It was a fairly extensive network of tunnels There are loads of online stories about it

Definitely Pete, I'm a bit too old for them now, but I used to do several a year. Hard work, but a lot of fun too Six nights sounds plenty!

Fascinating story, Jack. Would have been a street photographer’s dream.

Missed several posts, tried to catch up but got a bunch of quotes from other threads all mixed up so I’m just jumping in right here.
Good morning Guardians. First can in our annual food drive here at school. We’re a little behind compared to last year so I hope to get a lot more in the next few weeks.

Thank you Harvey, it's too far to get a cab, so I might see if I can get my non-drinking friend to have a trip over, maybe take in one of the 'quality' 'tribute acts, MeatLoaf was there recently!

Fascinating story, Jack. Would have been a street photographer’s dream.

Thanks my friend, I reckon it would too, some real characters used to hang out there! Some I recall the names of were Mad Mulligan, Mexican Des, Jim The Busker, Axel Rose, Tikka, Eric The Red, James Bond, The Duke of Darnall, but there were a lot of them I never knew the name of (or have forgotten) At least it kept them in one place!
