    "Electric recliner"? What luxury!

    2 Front Doors ??

    The owner of the Wrinkled Stocking reported that when one of her staff entered the spare dining room, they had found Bill Owen leaning out the window preparing to take part in his opening dialog with Kathy Staff.

    2 Front Doors ??

    When Compo brought his bicycle out, he described the storage space as a wash house. If it had been that, it probably would have been shared among the three houses. The outside toilet was in the small shed in the yard. In one episode we heard it flush, then Wally came out holding his newspaper...

    2 Front Doors ??

    I've always assumed that we were meant to interpret the door to Alvin's left as leading into an empty flat, the one that Gloria moved out of in "Who's That Dancing With Nora Batty Then?". So Alvin was increasing his outdoor space by trespassing on that space. In fact, it's one of two entrances...

    Here after all these years.

    Thanks for the info about Holmfirth Blue Plaques. I have a copy of the Blue Plaque Trail in book form that travels with me whenever I go to Holmfirth. It's nearly worn out!

    If that's a camp stove, is the episode Hail Smiling Morn or Thereabouts?

    Another Quiz.

    Using Google for questions that it's likely to answer reliably sure beats running to the library to dig out the answer in a hard-copy book! There are some questions, though, for which I wouldn't touch it with a barge pole.

    Another Quiz.

    Richard Lumsden (Foggy). His ex-sister-in-law is Emma Thompson. She played Professor Sybill Trelawney in Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban. (Thank you Google. I haven't seen any of the Harry Potter movies, although I've read all of the books.)

    Am I really that decrepit?

    Many years ago, a friend and I boarded the London Tube and a couple of gentlemen offered their seats. Edie and I were in our 60s at the time, but I was dressed "old" in a loose-fitting dress because it was a very hot day, orthopedic-looking sandals, with an Air Cast on the ankle that tends to...

    A Personal Update

    If it wasn't a major break, and if they just X-rayed the arm, but didn't do a nuclear medicine scan, they could have easily missed it. I once had a stress fracture in one of the metatarsals that didn't show up on X-ray but that was clearly visible on a nuc med scan.

    A Personal Update

    With the damaged, but weight-bearing knee, is she able to keep her balance well enough to walk without a frame, or a hemi-walker, or a cane? If so, that should make it possible to rehab all but the arms and shoulders.

    Odd experience?

    Several years ago I was working with an occupational therapist who tried to engage my interest with a game of Scrabble, in order to test how long I could stand upright. I have always been a complete dud at any word games, so I probably appeared illiterate. She said that because I read so much...

    Odd experience?

    Often, when reading fiction, the description of a character's appearance or personality will cause me to visualize a character from LOTSW. For instance, in the mystery I'm currently reading, A Murder Too Many, by E.X. Ferrars, the character Kenneth Marriott was introduced and described as short...

    If you're interested in where Foggy comes from...

    And even more different from when my favorite novelist, Barbara Pym, was growing up there. Worth a visit for its own historical sake, as well as for actual and imaginary nostalgia.

    Help!!

    It's an extremely conservative think tank. The current US Federal administration slavishly adheres to its doctrines.

    Name the episode #7

    I recall Howard using a consultation with Clegg, as a former military person, on polishing brass, as an excuse for knocking on Clegg's door. All of that was in case Pearl caught him at Clegg's. (Or did I dream that?) Can't remember the episode title, but perhaps this will jog someone else's memory.

    Come Back, Jack Harry Teasdale? One of my favorites.

    Everything is going up.. or is it?

    Last time the electric company applied for a rate increase, I replied with a question as to why they were trying to drive their customers off the grid. Of course, I got no reply, but I'm still seriously considering adding more solar panels and possibly a Windspire, then installing storage...
