No thanks. I prefer my large Shinyglow Products mug for my morning coffee, and my equally large Banned Books mug from the Unemployed Philosophers Guild for my tea. The only disappointment is that the coffee mug doesn't deliver any "Shinyglow get up and go." My get up and go seems to have got up...

The knocker-upper was a paid occupation. Here's a story from the BBC, with photos and film. Please ignore the political stories in the sidebar. https://www.bbc.com/news/uk-england-35840393

Is the ground rent still at the peppercorn level?

With about 60 frequently-used tabs open, divided among 6 windows, my primary problem with the PC is that it's slooooow! And the frequent restarts are annoying. On the other hand, my brain is still fried from sepsis, and probably will be for at least another year, if it recovers at all, so if I...

In today's terms, 25p would be merely a peppercorn rent. I wonder how much the ground rent will be when the current lease runs out in 2921! Most of Welwyn Garden City still appears very pleasant in Google Earth Street View, but that region is terribly flat, so I'd find it uncomfortable. I'm used...

Speaking of Linux, is switching to it from Windows 10 as easy as this article implies: https://www.zdnet.com/article/thinking-about-switching-to-linux-things-you-need-to-know/

Imagine her trying to put a positive spin on the outcome!

My "garden" would have long ago become a forest, and the neighbors would have been complaining. The Nature Conservancy calculator shows 3 tons of CO2 for that round trip. While I had full use of my legs, I made that trip annually, starting in 1993. Between 31 and 46 trees are needed to offset 1...

By 9 AM, my flight would already have landed at MAN, if it was a the ELM to DTW to JFK to MAN. Otherwise, it would have been ELM to DTW to AMS to MAN, arriving a bit later. Then rail to Manchester Piccadilly and shanks mare to the Premier Inn Manchester City, around the corner on Dale Street...

The only thing that saved the show for me was that she always got her comeuppance at the end of each episode.

That looks like the side facing Hollowgate. The scene in the episode is the side facing Huddersfield Road.

States that include religious slogans don't give us a choice about it. Nor does the Federal government about the religious slogan on US currency.

Not to mention buildings that are designed and built with a 30-year life span in mind! Then they begin to physically disintegrate.

Getting serious here. Pay off the mortgage and the Home Equity Line of Credit. Invest the remainder in stocks, bonds, the money market - whatever is earning the most. Spend those earnings on travel, mostly to West Yorkshire.

Not only worth a read, but worth re-reading. I read through the entire series for the second time right after reading Christopher Fowler's obituary in the Guardian.

Not I. Just the idea of early morning makes me drowsy and crabby. I don't do mornings!

When they're cut in half, they look like a disgusting quantity of congealed fat, and very little meat. Yuck!

Granville's mother. ??

The interior curved stone wall/ceiling looks as though it could be Beattie's. So does the view out the window in photo #5, with the bars on the outside and the glimpse of the long flight of stairs between the side of the Deli and the church.
