I used to jokingly say 'my body is a temple' only these days it more resembles a cathedral.
Mine's getting to be more like the Taj Mahal in Westbourne...

That's another thing with my old laptop, the battery lasts about 15 minutes. I know you can get replacement ones, I have had 3 over the years so that shows how old the laptop is. With every update from windows it gets even slower.

I was thinking more like Lincoln Cathedral, braced, ready to slide down hill fast, but clinging on somehow.Tintern abbey?
Postman does not like this film at all.
When I open the Amazon app on my phone it always suggests the "Deal of the Day". This is usually a hideously overpriced electric toothbrush, reduced from being obscenely overpriced. A few days ago my gob was truly smacked at the ingenuity of the marketing bods at Gillette.
Still shaving with a regular razor? pah! We've seen the increase in blade count which seemed to top out at five blades per cartridge, now they have designed a heated razor, it's " like having your face swathed in a hot towel" or some such gumph. The razor is a cartridge style, but you plug the body into a charging station to charge up the internal battery which then heats up the blade cartridge. Reassuringly expensive replacement cartridges are of course available to order.
As my mouse pointer was hovering over the "Buy Now" button ( a real bargain at a special introductory price of £150, plus a regular supply of custom cartridges ) I had a thought. I wonder if running some hot water into the hand basin and immersing the head of my usual disposable razor would achieve the same effect and save me £150? I tried it during this mornings ablutions and can report that it does work. 😀😉

Never knew there were films based on Pratchett's work.
I rather like his adult books [he also wrote a lot of children's books] as they are full of sly asides and comments on modern life.
He had been a press officer for the Atomic Energy Authority and said his fiction paled into insignificance compared to what happened in that organisation.
Tintern abbey?
Tis! It says so on that sign there... ( old brummie joke )
I have a photo somewhere of a much younger me running over the cobbles outside Lincoln Cathedral. It was taken by a professional sports photographer who was covering a race that I was competing in and is one of my favourites. Before the event I was under the impression that Lincolnshire is flat, I found it a tad lumpy, especially the approach to the Cathedral.

I replaced the battery in my wife's laptop before we passed it on to our daughter. It was a 2014 MacBook Air. The replacement battery was about £60 and of excellent quality. The gradual improvement in battery chemistry over the years meant that the replacement had about 20% greater capacity than the original had when new. Having said that, my new laptop gives me well over 14 hours of use.
Very clever I like that.Tintern abbey?
Mine is like Kirstall Abbey a ruin.

Thank you
So Postman is back from his walk.Today just happens to be my mates 93rd birthday.So I went walking on one of my old delivery routes.Street Lane Leeds 17,then on the way back I got on to the Highmoors the walk old Ernie did for many years,for in those days you stayed in a section of two,rotating weekly,so as I walked along High Moor Crescent I rang Ernie at his home near the coast and wished him happy birthday.He sounds great for a 93 year old and there are no worries about going in to a home.
