If someone had lost their four wheeled trolley near Pompeii ? I think they may have just found it !

I don't understand why no one has anything nice to say about New York, l have nothing but good memories of the place.
Mind you l was being very well paid to be there. I even got invited to a birthday party for Frank Sinatra ! Mind you he had been dead for some time. I can explain if anyone would like to know

It's a place I want to visit, but I'm not expecting to like it, I hate London & it appears to be a London on speed.

Didn't realise they were still digging this out, must have been 50 years ago when I was taught about Pompeii. always sort of assumed all excavations had been completed.

We visited a few years ago, Pompeii is more tourist attraction than Archeological site, but theres still a lot that hasn't been excavated yet. Herculaneum was a better place to visit, most of that is still under ash, our mistake was to visit both in the same day, we didn't see enough of Pompeii.

Believe me , New York is nothing like London . One example the Staten Island ferry ,it's about a half hour ride , you get great views of Statue of Liberty, Ellis island and lower Manhattan and to cap it all the ride is FREE !
If you like a bar with real atmosphere try McSorley's Old Ale House, Irish bar.
I can go on but it would be a bit daft, anyway there would be no point going until the plague has been defeated

I like Chicago better than New York, more manageable. I even like St.Louis a bit more, I know that is a hateful thing to say, but it is Monday, and I'm a bitter old man.

I like Chicago, I love looking out of the hotel room from the 20th floor & seeing the toy trains, like a big Hornby set

I know l am biased but New York is special for personal reasons. it kind of marked a high point in my working life as a designer and maker of furniture and Bloomingdales bought a major "group" as they liked to call it ! All was rosy in the garden until 911 and the country went into physical and mental lockdown . I have never seen peoples confidence and optimism undermined so completely . End of a chapter big time

Grey, occasionally sunny and with a bit of a chilly breeze.

I have determined that this is a cold, and not an allergy thing. I did sleep well though, and I am finally starting to de-snot. There's no terribly elegant way of doing that, I'm afraid.

The big news is, I have finished the brake drums for the rear axle and glued the axle spindles to them. That's turned four fairly small parts into two bigger, but still fairly small parts.

It is almost lunchtime, then this afternoon I am meeting up with a friend to go for a nice long walk with her dogs. I could do with a bit of fresh air, exercise and good company.

Ah. That's where my cat show trolley went to.

I had been wondering...

You should have looked after it! Looks like it needs a damned good clean too.

So I've come home from work (I had only been there an hour when the notification came in)
Spare bedroom stripped out, bedding laundered, some cables to the PC refixed and tidied up, hoovered in all the nooks and crannies and had a real good general sort out.
