That’s the thing 2.5

After months of relentless cold and damp weather, it’s started to get warmer in the UK. The Acer leaves are starting to unfurl, revealing bright red leaves but of course because its the UK the next week there is going to be sleet and some snow at higher levels.

DJT appears to be talking to himself according to the remaining leaders of Iran so despite him stating that a deal is imminent Iran say that they have had no such discussions; if he does talk to himself there must be some terrible arguments and possible self harm.

There appears to have been a massive increase in oil sales fifteen minutes before DJT announced a possible end the the war in Iran and someone made a fortune out of it, wonder who that might be. The following day Trump confirmed that he had ordered diamond encrusted shanderleas for the new ballroom in the White House. Wait a minute, it cant be possible that there is a connection. No its just fake news.

A few weeks ago one of our friends died aged 83. Brian Nattress was a lovely man with the same type of humour as myself, and the same taste in music which was mainly sixties. His obituary stated that if he found anything that was round he could become become excellent at that type of sport, Golf, football, rugby, tennis. We met when we were in Create on holiday and I remember sitting in a cafe with his wife Linda, and my wife Chris and he looked at me and then looked at a shrub close to his wife’s head and on it was large stick insect and we both grinned and never said anything. Funny how somethings remain in your memory when most don’t.

Trying to write a short story called ‘Different’ It may take a while. I wonder if I have a while left?

The Bridgeport milling machine was possibly the greatest basic machine to use in a toolroom in the world and even now they can be found in nearly every part of the world. They were made in the UK and the manufacturer went into Liquidation many years ago. The UK Governments had and still have no idea how important manufacturing can be. There is no direct funding for new innovative ideas, websites are out of date, but like DJT they talk the talk. but cant walk the walk.

Ever milled a block of steel, No, what comes off it is called swarf, and to cool the cutter a liquid called suds is used. it has the most unusual smell. Walk into a factory sometime and you may smell it. Its not quite Channel, but…

Wonder if I start being nice to DJT he will fund my Innovative designs for fasteners, let me have a think about his best qualities. ……Can you come back later.

But if he solves the problem of Iran I may grovel, its one of my best atributes, honed after many years of marrage.
