How do you pinch lots of 25ton stones without someone noticing?

They were the smaller 1or 2 ton ones, the blue stones and not the Sarsen stones. The big ones came from Marlborough way, about 18 miles which is still a long way to shift 25 to 30 tons each !

I don't think apathy had been invented in those days !

I have a working oven = hot dinners.

Two new skills learnt; how to replace an oven fan and repair an oven hinge.

If my university ever work out I've been faking my ability to teach marketing for the past 20 years there might be a second career here.

Just got my vaccine invite via my medical practice. Monday afternoon it is then. At 63, I ddidnt think I fell into the latest age group to be called (65 to 69) so maybe its the TB thing that's brought it forward.

It is amazing to think how much effort they put into things in those days.

It's amazing how much money in the form of grants/funding scholars can get their hands on to pursue their hobby, oops sorry serious scientific exploration.

What I was talking about was our ancestors.

You wouldn't get people doing that these days.

I'm all excited . A Scalextric Lotus 49 body that I bought has arrived . When I compared the body with the one I carved from a piece of wood they look pretty much the same . I carved the body using some model plans from the 60's.

Todays excitement was a trip to the green grocers and the butcher. 15 minute wait in a queue outside the butchers ! Yikes.

-16C here, and a little snow. Snow this dry can be moved with a broom or leaf blower.

Just to keep you in loop I'm making a roasted garlic soup. It's my first go at it.

Wish me luck.

Even so, if you can't even leave your 2 ton bluestone for five minutes around without some opportunist sneaking over with 150 of their mates, 74 tree trunks, and sixteen oxen; and pilfering them, what is the world coming to?
