friendly They work hard to get the most out of your insurance coverage I recommend CK Chiropractic Jen S Dr Siegel is amazing He is so gentle that hes the first chiropractor Ive seen that was able to adjust my neck He addresses all my issues in a caring and professional manner I feel so comfortable with him and hes always able to give me at least some immediate relief from my pain I have recieved both graston and extend Trac treatments at Dr Siegels office and have to say that both worked extremely well Thank you Dr Siegel for taking such good care of me and my family Ann M Dr Siegel gave me immediate relief from my neck pain that I had for many years He addressed my issue in a professional manner and gave me easy exercises to use His equipment and knowledge is the best out there Erin B Dr Siegel is thorough no nonsense and totally focused on results My arm and hand were going numb at night and Dr Siegel treated me and gave me exercises and great advice He doesnt insist on ongoing treatments like some chiropractors so I just return when the symptoms return and it can be many months in between treatments He also treated my back so that I could sleep on my back for the first time in decades That wasnt even why I sought him out but my casual comment about it led to what to me was a life sleep Barbara B Ive had lower back pain for two years now It was getting so bad that my quality of life was not good I used ice and heat to help relieve the pain Xrays showed nothing My GP asked me to see a Chiropractor I didnt know which one to see but I was crying when I called and spoke to Genie on the phone She got me in right away and I picked up my xrays and cscans After examining me he found my problems After one visit I was 75 better It is a miracle that after two years Gail B Ive had back pain off and on for at least 40 years due to two separate injuries It took me at least 30 to find a good Chiropractor in Arizona so I was worried about finding a competent one here after moving a few months ago I had put off going because of that and ended up with a very bad pinched nerve as a result I could barely walk two weeks ago couldnt sleep struggled to get out of bed but through the treatments and exercises Dr Siegel gave me Im almost pain free after only 5 appointments Hes Barb W I came in with some bad lower back pain because I had pinched nerves and I left with almost no more pain from only two times of being adjusted Its a nice office and they fit me in with no notice because they knew I was in pain They also give a military special rate hard to beat that Great place and I see myself going back anytime I need an adjustment Ryan R The first time I visited Dr Scott was when my chiropractor wasnt available after adjusting me the day before Dr Scott is just down the sidewalk from where I work so he is very convenient He was able to get me in that day and was able to take care of my problem With in a week of seeing him every few days I was so much better He has great equipment and takes his time with his patients He is the bomb Thanks so much Clarissa N Great chiropractor fixed my lower back also has spinal decompression machine that works miracles on disk degeneration or sciatic problems due to lower back issues Professional caring and knowledgeable best Chiro in town Dom D I have seen Chiropractors for over 30 years in California and Washington Dr Siegel is definitely one of the best He is very caring and always cognizant of my pain sensitivities Youll get his undivided attention to any back or neck problems youre experiencing

back and neck Dr Siegel is a wonderful find in a field that is about how fast can i get you in and out finally a chiropractor that takes the time to help instead of collect a payment Rob B Submit your

in L Chaos Chaos Vehicles Leman Russ Tank English Share What I can not crush with words I will crush with the tanks of the Imperial Guard Lord Solar Macharius A Leman Russ battle tank creeps across a bridge during an urban battle The Leman Russ is the main battle tank of the Astra Militarum and is also the most widely deployed tank in the Imperium The tank is named after the Space Wolves Primarch Leman Russ Far from a sophisticated vehicle the Leman Russ was designed and built with reliability and versatility in mind It can survive the worst the galaxy can throw at it and can run on almost any combustible liquid fuel Though slow its frontal armour is strong enough to withstand the multitude of weaponry wielded by the enemies of the Emperor of Mankind Its side and rear armour remains thinner to reduce the strain on the tanks engines This characteristic does make the Leman Russ vulnerable to assault from these angles requiring infantry support other tanks or very careful operation to protect the vehicle The Leman Russ can only perform to its optimum capabilities when all of these elements are combined during an Imperial armoured advance The Leman Russ main battle tank is an ironclad declaration of might made manifest They are the mainstay of the Astra Militarums armoured forces lumbering slabs of armour and intolerance whose inexorable advance has ground a billion foes of the Imperium to bloody ruin What the Leman Russ lacks in speed it more than makes up for in brute force and survivability Enemy fire patters from its inchesthick armour like dust on the wind Between its sponsons hull and turret the Russ carries enough firepower to pound almost any foe into submission The tanks rugged simplicity and ease of manufacture ensures that the Imperium can field whole companies of Leman Russ with ease burying the outnumbered foe beneath waves of irresistible armoured fury Dedicated Leman Russ tank companies play a key role in Imperial strategy and the greatest Imperial tank offensives will see armoured formations many Terran miles in breadth sweep all before them in a rumbling tide However it is common to see armoured companies broken into squadrons to support infantry and artillery elements in the field The presence of even one Leman Russ can provide an enormous boost to the fighting strength and morale of Imperial Guard infantry while a whole squadron of such armoured brutes wields serious destructive power Leman Russ squadrons can be deployed to spearhead an allout offensive reduce an enemy breakthrough to a tangle of bloodsoaked wreckage or safeguard the thundering guns of an artillery company from attack With its many common variants the Leman Russ is a versatile and deadly tool in the arsenal of any Imperial Guard commander The Leman Russ is crewed by a minimum of four crewmen including a commander gunner loader and driver Side sponson weapons may be added each of which requires an additional crew member to operate The Leman Russ is simple to operate but very loud and uncomfortable for its crew Due to the noise intravehicle communication is only viable by an enclosed intercom system with the commander having access to an external Voxcaster Contents show History A Leman Russ Tank in fierce night combat The Leman Russ battle tank was first developed some time during the Great Crusade in the late 30th Millennium but most of the information about the vehicle from that ancient time is missing or nonexistent The Leman Russ battle tank proved to be a reliable and proven armoured vehicle named after the Primarch of the Legiones Astartes Space Wolves in honour of his savage ferocity in war Numerous subpatterns mounted a wide array of weapons in service of the elite Solar Auxilia were often enhanced to the Solar pattern fitted with supplementary survival and exploration systems Leman Russ tanks in Auxilia strike squadrons were fitted with extended fuel reserves and their engines enhanced with forced induction chargers These combined to increase the tanks speed and operational range substantially allowing them to make wide flanking advances in order to engage an enemy at the moment the infantry sections launched their own attack Leman Russ Assault squadrons consisted of heavily armoured variants of the Solar pattern reconfigured for direct assault against fortified enemies They lacked the speed of the strike Russ squadrons but were formidably durable Their main weapons were comparatively short ranged in relation to the artillery batteries but they were used in a direct assault role or in close support of the Infantry Tercios in particular those mounted in Dracosan Armoured Carriers The Plasma Destroyer mounted on the Executioner and the volkite demiculverin with which the Incinerator was armed were rare and highly prized weapons more commonly seen on the war machines of the Legiones Astartes and they had to be painstakingly calibrated and intensively ministered to by TechPriests assigned to the cohort to ensure their continued operation In the 41st Millennium the Leman Russ tank is the mainstay of most Imperial Guard armoured regiments and is produced by the millions in Forge Worlds and Hive World manufactorums across the galaxy The tank is also used by many other Imperial forces such as Planetary Defence Forces and the Adeptus Arbites Capabilities Two Leman Russ battle tanks make their way across nomansland during the Siege of Vraks The Leman Russ seems to be a crude slow and poorly designed tank but it is an excellent benchmark for the abilities and advanced nature of Imperial technology Despite being famed for its simplicity and reliability the Leman Russ is an extremely complex and advanced main battle tank The tanks frontal armour is 150 millimetres thick meaning it can withstand all but the most dedicated antitank weaponry yet its side armour is much thinner With a range of 105 miles on just 360 gallons of fuel a feature the later Land Raider would also possess the Leman Russ can accept almost any sort of combustible fuel Though its top speed is a mere 29 kilometreshour this is mostly because of extremely heavy governing of the tanks engine as a properly tuned Leman Russ can reach speeds in excess of 70 kilometreshour The Leman Russ is also noted for its ability to turn on a dime and its ability to reverse direction in only seconds remains a signature move for the vehicle The Russ is equipped with a variety of hightech scanners and Auspex systems plus inertial dampening technology designed to provide better stability for the firing of the tanks main weapon Armament A Leman Russ in support of an infantry regiment during an urban war The basic and most common armament of the Leman Russ tank is a turretmounted Battle Cannon and a hullmounted Heavy Bolter Alternatively a Lascannon can be mounted on the tanks hull instead of the Heavy Bolter The Leman Russ can be equipped with two sponson mounts one on each side The most common configuration for the sponsonmount is 2 Heavy Bolters or 2 Heavy Flamers Leman Russ tanks that are a part of a wellequipped armoured regiment sometimes have 2 MultiMeltas or 2 Plasma Cannons as their sponson weapons The tank can also be equipped with Camouflage Netting Extra Armour Plating a HunterKiller Missile Launcher improved communications equipment a mine sweeper a Pintlemounted Heavy Stubber or Storm Bolter a Searchlight track guards rough terrain modifications a Dozer Blade and Smoke Launchers Known Formations Emperors Fist Tank Company An Emperors Fist Tank Company is an armoured formation consisting of three squadrons of Leman Russ main battle tanks of any type and a single Formation Leader The three squadrons must consist of three Leman Russ tanks of any type This powerful phalanx of armour makes the perfect hammer for the Imperiums forge of war Known Users of the Leman Russ Tank Solar Auxilia The Leman Russ was the mainstay of the elite Solar Auxilia during the Great Crusade and Horus Heresy eras in the 30th and early 31st Millennium Imperial Guard The Leman Russ is the basic and most common battle tank of the Imperial Guard and is the mainstay of nearly all Imperial armoured regiments and companies Planetary Defence Forces The Leman Russ is used by many Planetary Defence Forces stationed on Imperial worlds Adeptus Arbites The Precincts of the Adeptus Arbites will sometimes have a small number of Leman Russ tanks at their disposal though these vehicles are usually ancient and rarely if ever see any action The Lost and the Damned The Lost and the Damned is the name collectively given to the multitude of beings that have turned to Chaos over the millennia the vast majority of whom are the ordinary mortals who fight for Chaos They are not a single coherent force but rather a diverse and infinite collection of warbands and hosts under the leadership of Chaos Champions These forces take their weapons and vehicles with them and as many of them were former members of the Imperial Guard or Planetary Defence Forces they make use of an uncountable number of Leman Russ tanks 17th Tallarn Regiment Fought during the Taros

Tank Hunter Tank Hunter Thunderer Siege Tank Shortrange Artillery Atlas Recovery Tank Bombard Heavy Shortrange Artillery Patterns There are several different Leman Russ patterns used by the Imperium Many of these differences between them are only cosmetic but several offer increased interior room better performance or increased armour Mars Alpha The MarsAlpha Pattern Leman Russ has a slightly larger chassis interior than any other pattern The MarsAlpha Pattern is commonly used for Leman Russ tanks that serve as squadron or regimental command vehicles as the extra space allows for the installation of more powerful communications equipment and provides more room for a command staff Phaeton Ryza Solar An ancient variant pattern the Solar pattern was primarily utilised by the elite Solar Auxilia Cohorts of the Imperialis Auxilia These Leman Russ tanks were retrofitted with supplementary survival and exploration systems Sometimes they were fitted with extended fuel reserves and their engines were enhanced with forced induction chargers for increased operational range Gryphonne IV Stygies VII Variants The Leman Russ tank can exchange its main weapon for a different weapon which changes the tanks designation and battlefield role These variants include Annihilator A Leman Russ Annihilator The uncommon Leman Russ Annihilator variant replaces the standard tanks Battle Cannon with a pair of Twinlinked Lascannons This is similar to the identicallydesignated Predator Annihilator tank of the Space Marines from which this variant of the Leman Russ takes its name This change requires the addition of extra powercells inside the tank but these use the space saved by the fact that the Battle Cannons ammunition no longer needs to be stored The Annihilators twin Lascannons turn this variant into a true tankhunter and it is in this role that the tank excels Of course such sophisticated tactical planning is not regarded as important by the Death Korps of Krieg Imperial Guard regiments that have been the most common users of this variant of the Leman Russ As such where other regiments would regard this tankhunter as a defensive weapon the Death Korps uses them as offensive weapons to be thrown into the open assault across nomans land during a planetary siege Conqueror Leman Russ Conqueror One of the less common Leman Russ variants the Leman Russ Conqueror is only produced in any significant quantities on the Forge World of Gryphonne IV where the Standard Template Construct plans for the design were originally rediscovered Armed with the Conqueror Cannon as opposed to the standard Battle Cannon the Conqueror sacrifices outright destructive power in exchange for improved mobility and accuracy whilst firing on the move The Leman Russ Conqueror comes standard with coaxial mounted Storm Bolters and searchlights removing the need to expose a crew member to fend off oncoming enemy infantry The back of the turret houses an armoured ammunition access hatch making rearming the tank quick and easy This hatch is also used to dispose of spent Conqueror Cannon shells Demolisher Leman Russ Demolisher One of the most common Leman Russ variants the Leman Russ Demolisher is equipped with the Demolisher Cannon and is designed as a shortrange bombardment and linebreaker tank The extreme power of this weapon is hampered by its short effective range Demolishers are valued as close heavy fire support vehicles by the Imperial Guards infantry units and it is the most common variant of the Leman Russ that is equipped with Plasma Cannons and MultiMeltas on its sponson mounts in order to make them more effective against heavily armoured units Executioner Leman Russ Executioner A variant now produced only on the Forge World of Ryza the Leman Russ Executioner is armed with the Plasma Destroyer a slightly more powerful version of the Plasma Cannon A poorly understood and temperamental weapon the Plasma Destroyer is often criticised for its high power requirements limiting the tanks effectiveness in extended engagements The turret features emergency vents heat shielding and coolant to both protect the crew and the weapon itself from damage should a plasma containment field failure occur However due to bad design the coolant feed lines run outside the turret and are prone to damage rendering the emergency systems less than reliable Crews dislike being made to work in the Executioner and are prone to bailing out at the first sign of trouble Crews who willingly command these tanks are often seen as foolhardy extremely brave or insane However those crews who do stick to their tanks are among the best tankkillers in the Imperium able to take out even the most heavily armoured tanks and buildings due to their powerful main gun When the tank takes too much damage the plasma containment field for the main gun can short out releasing an expanding shockwave of energy that can incinerate any infantry close to the vehicle Eradicator A Leman Russ Eradicator A simple destructive vehicle the Leman Russ Eradicator was instrumental in the urban conflict on KhaiZhan Its main weapon the Eradicator Nova Cannon gained a fearsome reputation as a powerful antiinfantry weapon The weapons heavy highcalibre ballistic shells are capable of destroying both enemy barricades and any infantry sheltering behind them with a highly volatile subatomic charge This makes the Eradicator extremely effective in cities jungles or other dense terrain With a blast radius close to that of the Demolisher Cannon but possessed of a longer range the Eradicator Nova Cannon can effectively clear buildings of enemy infantry before they can even get a shot off Exterminator A Leman Russ Exterminator The infrequently seen Leman Russ Exterminator variant is armed with turretmounted Twinlinked Autocannons and is generally deployed in an antiinfantry role Sometimes the Exterminator is also utilised as a stopgap measure for antiair defence due to its rapid firing speed It is especially effective against lightly armoured horde armies such as the Orks or Tyranids and when the tank is equipped with all antiinfantry weaponry such as Heavy Bolters it is capable of laying down a withering hail of ballistic fire While the Twinlinked Autocannons have recoil dampeners they lack a muzzle brake or flash suppressor The Exterminator is unique in that it is also used in small numbers by the Space Wolves making it the only Leman Russ variant fielded by any Space Marine Chapter Huntsman The Huntsman is a local variant of the Leman Russ exclusively used by the Planetary Defence Militia of the Knight World of Adrastapol Amongst the Household armies of House Draconis and House Minotos the Huntsman was primarily used as a mean to flush out the local macropredators known as gurghols from the undergrowth on the Knights many great hunts It has since found its way into Adrastapols armed forces The typical Huntsman eschews its turretmounted Battle Cannon for the Inferno Cannon usually found on Imperial Hellhounds Many a scientist has described the Huntsman as an attempt to retroengineer the ancient Leman Russ Incinerator Incinerator A Solar Auxilia Leman Russ Incinerator Almost unheard of in the 41st Millennium the Leman Russ Incinerator used to be one of the most devastating variants of the Leman Russ accessible to the regiments of the Imperial Army during Mankinds conquest of the galaxy In particular elite formations such as Solar Auxilia Cohorts fielded the Incinerator in large quantities as infantry support or to accompany armourborne thrusts The Incinerator fields a terrifying twinlinked Volkite DemiCulverine a weapon system more commonly seen on Legiones Astartes vehicles Like all Volkite Weapons it produces a deflagrating attack in which subsonic combustion caused by a beam of thermal energy is propagated through the target by thermodynamic heat transfer so that hot burning material heats the next layer of cold material and ignites it In this regard the Incinerators weaponsystem only proved inferior to the mighty Volkite Carronade mounted on Glaive SuperHeavy Special Weapons Tanks of the Legiones Astartes but it still remained more then capable enough for burning entire squads of enemy infantry to ashes in a blink of an eye Due to its painstaking calibrationprocess and intensive need in maintenance the Leman Russ Incinerator has progressively vanished the technological knowhow and expertise required to maintenance its complicated and delicate weaponsystem becoming ever rarer In the armies of the 41st Millennium the role of the Leman Russ Incinerator has since been taken over by the more versatile Hellhound and only a very few venerable regiments must still maintain a couple of these rare but vastly powerful relic machines Punisher A Leman Russ Punisher The Leman Russ Punisher is the most potent antiinfantry vehicle in the Astra Militarum and amongst the best antiinfantry vehicles in the galaxy Armed with the Punisher Gatling Cannon a large multibarrelled ballistic weapon it is known as one of the fastestfiring slug throwers in the Imperiums arsenal The Punisher can shred even the heaviest of infantry units with punitive ease however the Punisher can be outmatched by enemy tanks in a headtohead fight and commonly only works with other Leman Russ tank variants to make up for the loss of antitank firepower The crews of Punishers have reputations for being very gungho and extremely trigger happy Vanquisher Leman Russ Vanquisher A rarer and more advanced variant of the standard Leman Russ the longbarrelled Vanquisher Cannon mounted on the Leman Russ Vanquisher is capable of firing powerful antitank shells In addition a Storm Bolter is mounted coaxially to the main cannon However Vanquishers are becoming increasingly rare in Imperial service due to the actions of the Ork Warlord Arrgard the Defiler who scoured the Forge World Tigrus in the 35th Millennium destroying the only existing template for constructing the Vanquisher Cannon in the process Ork Looted Leman Russ A Looted Leman Russ tank now used by an Ork mob Orks have also seen the usefulness of the Leman Russ and almost always loot one or more from a battlefield where they have faced the Asra Militarum should the chance arise However the Orks incompetence with ranged weaponry has drastically decreased the effectiveness of the tanks main weapons Looted Leman Russ tanks and just about any other tank or vehicle are very popular with the Death Skulls tribe of Orks who are very good at liberating enemy vehicles The Death Skulls like to loot a vehicle repair it and then use it against the enemy during the same battle Sometimes the Orks will enhance their looted vehicles with more weapons armour and garish paint jobs which match their unique aesthetic style Adeptus Mechanicus Technical Specifications Mars

The Weaver of Grass Welcome to life in the Yorkshire Dales Tuesday 20 November 2018 A wet day An understatement It is 340 and almost dark This will have to be a short post so that I can get in Tesss walk before darkness descends It has poured with rain on and off all day A strong east wind is blowing and I can not think of a single nice adjective to put in front of today however hard I try This morning I bought myself a new cordless vacuum cleaner which I needed because my cleaner had broken down Then I bought myself a new toaster and matching kettle not because either had broken down but because they were old and I thought red ones would be cheery in my kitchen They are This necessitated another trip to the Council Tip my second trip this week Once with all the flower boxes from my birthday and today with three electrical appliances Shedding detritus is so liberating But that is not the only reason I enjoy going to the tip The men who work there are a joy whatever the weather The rain was pouring down They were all in their hut keeping dry and warm But the moment I stopped out they came smiling and helpful and emptied my boot for me making me sit back in my car in the dry A Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 0747 17 comments Sunday 18 November 2018 A Garden Post After thick early morning fog it is now a lovely clear sunny day But Tess and I just nipped up to our Council Tip with the flattened cardboard flower boxes that my Birthday flowers came in the garage is now neat and tidy once more and there only a mile away it is still thick fog My fence looks splendid and it is perfect in that Tess is now free to roam the garden at will and is unable to escape She has no road sense at all having grown up roaming the fields with the farmer and rarely venturing on to the lane The lady next door is so impressed that she is having various bits added in her garden and the fencer is working there today And the lady who lives the other side of my bungalow is also so impressed that she has asked him to do some for her too Sorry about my shadow but at least it shows you just how sunny it is My garden is of course beginning to die back but if anyone could hazard a guess at what tree that is in bloom I would be grateful It was a large tree but my gardener pruned it back This years growth hasnt flowered but there are plenty of blooms coming out on last years Here is the view from the back terrace so you can see what I hope will be the tulip border in the Spring Sorry the garden picture has come in the wrong place but you get the general idea Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 0240 26 comments Saturday 17 November 2018 Luck sends a good samaritan round Oh dear it pains me to tell Rachel and Derek that they were totally correct but they were This morning my fence being completely finished if the weather is suitable I will photograph it for you tomorrow I began the tulip bulb planting I divided the border into five sections and then scattered bulbs on the first section and planted them I went in to make a coffee and found that my back was aching I dare not do any more This afternoon my son came round with his wife and planted the rest in under half an hour raked the ground over and then put the forget me nots along the front of the border it may well be too late for these but worth a try as they were so cheap at the end of the season and they are very sturdy plants So now all is done and at a very reasonable cost in my opinion There is something very satisfying about fulfilling ones plans isnt there I am now going to relax and watch a programme on the friendship between Vaughan Williams and Gustav Holst When I think back to my childhood and the radio which as a family we listened to avidly this is Henry Hall and tonight is my guest night remember that arent we lucky to have such a huge selection Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 1240 14 comments Friday 16 November 2018 Friday My new fence is looking splendid and is almost finished I shall put a photograph on then The weather has really been first class for the job and my joinergardener has worked really hard on it Now all that remains is to finish the creosoting he came and started today when it was very foggy The fog thickened and by midafternoon had become fine rain so he abandoned the job and went home I was pleased as he has developed a terrible cold and I felt he should be at home with a few hot toddies and with his feet Meanwhile friends W and M and I all went out to our usual venue for lunch Delicious as always we had the same this week a starter of red onion beetroot a strong cheese sauce and a salad mix The next course was a chicken ham and leek pie with lovely roasted carrot and parsnip and a tub of chips Far too much but thats better than not enough Then we had a look round the items for sale tomorrow it is a Fine Art and Fine Furniture sale and the stuff in the sale was exquisite I got home and had only been in a short while when the furniture shop rang to say that my sitting room curtains were ready and could they bring them to hang What a pleasant surprise It is only a fortnight since my decorator left and I had been led to believe it might be Christmas before my curtains were ready Now they are up beautifully hung and drawn against a dismal I tipped all my tulip bulbs into a bucket gave them a good mix up and now they are ready for putting in A pleasant surprise was that when I unsnipped them from their bags I found I had totally miscalculated and had only bought 150 not 250 a much more realistic number to plant Divided into groups of five units that means only 30 bulbs per unit of ground One a day starting tomorrow means that they will all be in by Wednesday the day when the weather is destined to become wintry so hopefully I shall beat it What a busy week this has been And judging by my calendar next week is going to be just as busy particularly as I have a dear friend coming to stay the night on Tuesday so one thing is for sure there will be plenty of chat that night Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 1201 20 comments Thursday 15 November 2018 Thursday Retired for over thirty years widowed for eighteen months moved into a new bungalow a year ago that kind of history doesnt sound as though it generates much in the way of activity does it Well you would be wrong to think that because yesterday was a case in point Six times I switched on to write a post and six times an interruption either at the door or on the telephone delayed me and made me switch off the computer Finally when it got to eight in the evening I gave up as a bad job and watched Rick Today is another day The sky is a clear unbroken blue the sun is shining and it is a beautifully warm Autumn day Tess and I had our morning walk rather late as I slept in We met half a dozen dogwalkers and chatted and by the time we got home my fencer was here giving the completed fence a coat of creosote It looks splendid He has made such a good job of it Now all that will be left to do is for me to plant the tulip bulbs In the night when I couldnt sleep I devised a plan I shall divide the border into sections with bits of wood and plant one section of 50 bulbs each day leaving the wood in place for now so that there will not be a gap between plantings That way I shall not get overtired with bending down I hope Tomorrow may well be the day on which I begin after my usual Friday lunch out Derek may well be right when he says I shall go and cook my jacket potato and my stirfry now This afternoon is ukuleles with the Alzheimers patients and carers I love that and so do they It is a joyous afternoon Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 0339 25 comments Tuesday 13 November 2018 Gardening I now have a total of 250 tulip bulbs to put into my new border They really need to be in by December flowering March to Aprilbut I cant begin to put them in until the fencer has finished hopefully within the next day or two I also have several trays of Mysotis forget me not to edge the border with so quite a task He will do it for me if I ask him but as it is on the flat part of the garden I really want to try and do it myself and at present the weather I look at the dreadful wildfires in California I cant imagine anything more terrifying the tragedy of losing all ones precious possessions doesnt bear thinking about I suspect it is not the things which have cost the money which are missed so much as those little personal things the gifts from loved ones especially if they have left us and passed away the photographs the loved childrens toys that sort of thing Gayle at the Square Dogs would know all about that as I believe she has experienced it once My heart goes out to them all and also to Until tomorrow Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 1147 21 comments Monday 12 November 2018 Autumn Walk My afternoons walk today with Tess has convinced me of something I have known for a long time I was absolutely right to keep her when I moved It was rubbish to think I would not be able to cope with her she has kept me going She has made me get up in a morning to let her out She has made me do threealbeit fairly short walks a day for her sake And above all she has been the company I would have otherwise missed Life would have been very quiet and lonely Alright she doesnt answer back This morning we did our usual walk round the estate meeting our usual dogs having our usual chats to people and dog to dog After lunch we had a longer walk down our old farm lane Autumn leaves have almost disappeared from the trees and bushes and few hips and berries remain on the bushes I suspect the fieldfares and redwings and Winter thrushes have been around although I saw none of them just the evidence Now at twenty to four in the afternoon I am tired after my walk and I need a sit down Tess is patiently waiting for her four oclocks and I shall sit down with a cuppa I managed to find sixty tulip bulbs in town this morning to buy for my new border by my new fence not finished yet but I need at least as many more so I shall search again tomorrow Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 0744 32 comments Sunday 11 November 2018 Remembrance weekend This has been for me at any rate such a poignant reminder of war and of the sufferings of people throughout the world It seems it will never end The generation of my son who is sixty this year has at least been a generation when young men have not been conscripted into the armed forces at least in the Western world but I doubt there has been no time during those sixty years when there has not been fighting and killing somewhere And for what The ceremonies this weekend have caught my admiration for another reason too Is there anywhere in the world where events like this are organised with such precision such thought and such commitment To some this may not seem important but to me it is important that the whole thing goes off to perfection from start to finish and my goodness it has done At two minutes to eleven this morning with only those two minutes to go before Big Ben struck that important eleven oclock and silence fell over the battlefields of Europe and what a silence that must have been I couldnt believe that everyone would be in their place But of course they were with about twenty seconds to spare I read in the comments on someones post a while ago sorry I cant remember who it was that they had heard someone say it was time now that we forgot about it all For the sake of the millions who have died have been maimed for life have lost loved ones have been persecuted because of their race or their religion we must never ever forget Posted by The Weaver of Grass at 0840 30 comments Friday 9 November 2018 Friday Proper breakfast and proper lunch today and no ill effects seems I am over the worst and on the mend It is an absolutely awful day here today thick wet mist strong wind I know how can the two go together and cold to boot Friend W brought Tess home she has kindly had her there for the last two nights and taken her for a walk before she has brought her back each morning Not sure how keen Tess was to come back because both nights she has slept on the bed Last night W says she took up so much bed that in the middle of the night she had to push her further over And to add The man building my fence has been here all day in this horrible weather and has pushed on through it It is all looking very professional and will look brilliant when it is finished but I do wish he hadnt worked in such awful weather he is by no means a young man I would take a photograph but at a quarter to four it is almost dark so any photograph would be meaningless Heres hoping for better weather
