Linda mentioned you were at Menwith Hill, Mark - were you in the airforce?
One of my nephews was based at RAF Leeming for a while and I spent a few New Years in the Family flat there with my family.
He is now in Lincolnshire at RAF Coningsby.

Menwith Hill had mostly civilians stationed there. It wasn’t a military base; it had those big “golf ball” listening dishes. I assume it’s the same now. I went there to help out with running their Girl Scouts.

My Mum was a civilian working for the MoD at what was technically an RAF base in Harrogate. My uncle was a helicopter engineer NCO in the RAF stationed variously at Barnstaple, Aden, Akrotiri, Anglesey, Linton on Ouse, ...

Good morning all. I have a lunch date today. A friend who has had a rough time since a car accident 18 months ago. She has had to have major surgery on torn muscles and it’s not over yet :(

On top of that, her husband went off with a much younger woman. It’s been a dreadfully hard time for her.

Hopefully we will have a giggle as usual though :)

Congratulations!!
What will you be doing there?
We need details!!
I'm working for their distribution center. Just starting out I will probably spend the majority of my day on a forklift loading and unloading trucks. Not the most glamorous of jobs, but it will pay the bills. The only thing that might take me a little while to get used to is working in a freezer.

I hope everyone has a great day today and gluck on your matches!

Be careful where you pick the wild dandies from - those near roads could be contaminated by fumes and you want to avoid places where they may spray to keep the weeds down. Some supermarkets sell bags of lamb lettuce or it is in packs of mixed leaves like florette Classic Crispy salad.
Lambs lettuce is a good and healthy tortoise food. Belgium endive too. My torts like both.

How hot is hot? I do remember a few heat waves when I lived near Knaresborough for a few years. Like 80 and near death! :) and no AC of course. Windows wide open and some fans.

  • Out in the USA west... Arizona, Southern California, New Mexico areas...supposed to all be at 110 or so for the next three days.
110 F ? I would die . Too much for me.:(
