Thank you kindly.Congrats on the coming addition to your family!
I had students at a major university in the 1980s who didn't know that there had been a Vietnam war. (I was just a teaching assistant.)he was entirely unaware that Greece had been involved in WW2 at all, so I gave him the book to read![]()
Good morning Guardians, I hope everyone's week is going OK. My mate Matt is trying to cut down on his drinking at the moment, so we drove to a nice pub, and caught up over a couple of pints (for me), and a pint of ale, followed by a pint of Coke, for himThat meant I got a lift home, so it worked out pretty well
No rest for the wicked here in Yorkshire though, unfortunately, and I have some work I need to do already, as well as all the other stuff I need to do
I'm hoping I can make a start on editing my holiday snaps later today. And do some housework!
I've been trying to retire for a few years now, but I think I may need to try harder!
I have my Hartshead Barlow in my pocket, and for once, it isn't raining!
Have a great day Guardians
The second book I took to Crete was this classic tale from WW2. I was talking to a feller, in his 30's, at the hotel, and he was entirely unaware that Greece had been involved in WW2 at all, so I gave him the book to read

How Crete changed the course of World War Two
The Cretan Resistance caused significant damage to German morale and is likely one of the reasons why Hitler’s invasion of the Soviet Union was unsuccessful.www.bbc.com
For a part time craftsman he has an amazing gift Steve.Amazing jigging !

I don't know why I am surprised JerI had students at a major university in the 1980s who didn't know that there had been a Vietnam war. (I was just a teaching assistant.)

I bought this compass for under five dollars. The seller can't have known either that it's a Hitler Youth compass. It makes me sad in a couple of ways.
Thanks Steve, I got the work done quicker than I had expected, and was on my way to a meeting when it was cancelled. By a happy coincidence, shortly after, I bumped into Wolfie, on a break from his job, and bought him coffee and a falafel sandwich for lunch. Plenty to do at home though, which is where I'm headed nextHave a good one Jack and don't over do it !
And you add to the sense of continuity my friendBack to the HHB... Everything is back to normal now.![]()
