A damp and chilly morning here in Ulverston. And the forecast ois for intermittent rain for the rest of the day too.
It is the Kings Head Bowling Club Annual Dinner and Presentation Night, this evening at the STan Laurel pub. It will certainly be a very pleasant evening and I am very much looking forward to it.
As it is the last Friday before Christmas, it is known locally as "Black Eye Friday"so If you are kintening to venture into town this evening do, plese, take care! The Demon Drink?
The town is looking so good with all teh lights on and plenty Christmas Trees on all tehe shops. Ulverston does it well! The Farmers pub is exceptional this year, not only inside the pub but the outside really does look quite magnificent.
I have just heard that VAL MILLER has passed away. Val was a former Mayor of Ulverston, as was her husband Dave., and a good friend to many. She worked so very hard for Ulverston. R.I.P. Val Miller.

It is a colder morning, but nice and dry. Is it beginning to feel a bit more like Christmas?
Strange goings on in France with that lady being drugged so she was unconscious and then her husband inviting lots of men to take advantage of her? Some weird people in this world I reckon.
The Government seems determined to offend folk in all walks of life. Despite the recommendation of teh Ombudsman the WASPI ladies are not to receive any backdated pension money. "A woman scorned"? Beware!
Some good news however, in that the Hospices are to receive some extra funding to cope with the rise in costs that teh Hospices are facing, both in materials and employment costs. I understand that they normally just receive about one-third of their costs from the Government and the rest is gained through supporters and charitable donations.

It is a rather damp and dismal morning here in Ulverston. But the sun always shines in my particular world!!
I saw that those vile characters who have been found guilty of murdering their little daughter have been given Life Sentences with minimum terms of 40 years for him and 33 years for his partner.. I do not consider myself to be a vindictive person but I dofeel that these sentences are well justified. Their lives "inside" will be dreadful,. to say the least.They tortured that little girl over a long period. How awful.
I met up with a friend for coffee n the afternoon and caught up on a number of things then later met another old friend, this time for a couple of pints of Guinness! Shocking news that they are forecasting a shortage of Guinness over the Festive Season! Shocking!
Stay Safe! Stay Alert! Stay Calm! BE NICE TO ONE ANOTHER!
