My deepest condolences, Liana. There's do getting around, or over grief. You just get through it in your own time and in your own way. Sending strengthening thoughts to help sustain you on your journey.

The nearest Costco is 95 miles away. OTC hearing aids are available at a couple of the pharmacies in the area and at Walmart, and they can work for some patients with mild to moderate hearing loss. I have profound hearing loss, requiring professionally fitted and tuned prescription hearing aids...

I have to change the domes and the wax filters every couple of weeks, and I brush dust out of the receivers and microphones daily, mostly as a precaution. My audiologist can make most adjustments remotely, using the manufacturer's app. Since her office is 30 miles from my home, that's very useful.

Can you put the video back up? With replies from those of us in the deaf community, it's a vehicle for helping the Summerwine community become more aware of deaf and hard-of-hearing people. I may well be the only one sufficiently gobby to reply, but if that can raise awareness just a notch, it's...

Not a real problem, it just reminded me of all the horrible things that can happen if one fails to self-identify as deaf, or sometimes, even if one does so, and just how invisible deafness is to the hearing world. This happened last September...

That's much too close to an accurate depiction of a deaf/hard-of-hearing person's comprehension of speech to be funny. I watched it in horror, like not being able to look away from a train wreck. I have some hope of improvement when I try a better hearing aid technology with a speech-in-noise...

The logo is opposite the handle, but otherwise it's identical to the limited edition version. Since this is a close as I'll ever get, I'm happy with it.

Perhaps I'm obsessive, but I don's skip any episodes, or any parts of episodes, and I always view them in the order in which they were broadcast. As far as Tony Melody's dubbing of John Comer's voice was concerned, I didn't realize that the voice was dubbed until I read about it much later. At...

My Shinyglow mug was delivered yesterday. I didn't notice any "Shinyglow get up and go" from using it for my favorite beverage, but I like it, anyway!

Thanks for the heads up!

Last of the Summer Wine was never strong on continuity, so I expected very little continuity between that and First of ...

I just ordered one from Redbubble, but chose the straight-sided design. Except for the shape, it's identical to most of the others shown here. Seeing it on the table at Leigh's side in his video memorializing Alan Bell reminded me that I've been intending to hunt one up for quite a while. It...

High tide there tonight is at 20:33, in about an hour. Waves are breaking over the wall, but not too badly. Trains are still running.

I hope you enjoy your visit to Holmfirth!

Thanks for the illumination. The news reports at the time probably got it wrong. The June 1973 flood in my area was described as a "hundred-year" flood, but I seriously doubt it. We haven't been flooded since then, but some of the valleys feeding into this watershed have been, so I expect it...
