Ah the good old days! & A magpie mine walk

Ah the good old days!  anyone who remembers milk being delivered to the door in glass milk bottles will immediately regale you with fond memories of the milkman.  So here's mine! back in the 50's and early 60's the milkman had a horse and cart and looking out the front room window you would see the milkman darting in and out of almost every garden to pop the bottles on the step.  The horse would plod really slowly never stopping all the way down the street. At the bottom of the street without any command it would turn the cart round and plod back up the street with the milman repeating the exercise - - - ah the good old days - - -


Interesting story from the wilds of china "rioters"as they are described blow themselves up or are shot by police as the death toll reaches 50.  The region is home to the "Uighur" community who are muslims and large scale immigration of Han Chinese is threatening the Uighur's culture - - -


The iphone 6s bendgate  saga rumbles on with more people claiming that their handset is damaged.  woerth a look if only for the amusing pics - - - its a very thin phone - - - live with it - - -







"All aboard the skylark" or "Here we go again" maybe appropriate as we look set to go back into Iraq to have a go at the IS forces.  Bombing i dear is only the opener it will eventually take ground troops to make a significant difference - - - as usual - - -








Closer to home
Little man joins us in the garden and enjoys the afternoon sun on one of our cooler days.  He hides under our chairs when its too hot
The sun was out yesterday so we decided to visit the Magpie Mine walk as we set off the sun was shining.
"Sods law" played its part though and 20 minutes later the blue sky was clouded over! - - -

Enjoy the day
