TUESDAY 21st October

Another damp and chilly morning here in Ulverston.  Some windy weather is on its way too, so do wrap up warmly nd  be careful when you are out and about.

Prince Andrew is in the news yet again, and he is likely to be in the news for some time yet!   

There is some wonderful news this morning.  A lady who has been blind for many years has had an operation where a surgeon has implanted a microchip in her eye and, using special spectacles, she can see again!  Now that is magic!  Miracles never cease?

Stay Safe!  Stay Alert!  Stay Calm!  BE NICE TO EACH OTHER AND SHOW COMPASSION.  And a littel love?

 

20th Oct 2025Monday 20th October A rather wet and miserable day, weather-wise, in Ulverston today But the sun always shines in my world! O was busy on Saturday till midday then attended the Kings Head Bowling Club to watch the Singles Final in the William Kitson Memorial Trophy. A very close match won by Paul Wilkin 21-19. I then caught up on the Royal Ascot Champions Day racing on tv. A fantastic meeting as always but tehre were a couple of shocks. One winner came in at 200/1 and another at 100.1. TThis is Champions Day and that sort of result it totally unexpected! Sunday dawned clear and bright, despite the dire warnings of heavy and persistent rain ( it did come later ). Did some more bits and pieces in my new "Snug". uite pleased with the result. Out for cocktails@5 and then home for a nice tea and a bit of tv before having an early night. Revelations about Prince Andrew! Lots more to come out now! Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay Calm! BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND SHOW COMPASSION. And a little love?

SATURDAY 18th October

A lovely crisp and dry morning here in Ulverston.

It is teh Singles Final at the Kings Head Bowling Club at 1.30 between Paul Wilkin and Colin Reece at 1.30pm.   It should be  a very good match.

There was sme,   continued,   traffic hold-ups at the  Shell Garage again yesterday.  Some very frustrated drivers.  In BOTH directions!  Any blockade on such a narrow section of road always has this effect,  and there seems little that can be done about it.   It is just frustrating for many of the drivers being held up,  but the real danger is the obstruction of any emergency service vehicles trying to reach their destinations.   What is the solution?

It is Champions Day today at Royal Ascot,  so I will be glued to teh tv this afternoon!

The weather is set to change to wet and aindy over the weekend and likely to persist for a week or so.

On that cheery note,  I wish you have a lovely weekend!

Stay Safe!  Stay Alert!  Stay Calm!  BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER AND SHOW COMPASSION.  And a little love?
