Amazing insight and knowledge Rob, as always. Gordy is music's Don King of boxing. I hope you're well and manging to relax a bit Robb my old friend. Best wishes Peter

A bit further north than Bestwood Simon. It's Sutton in Ashfield. Peter

I agree; it isn't fair. Some "mug", or unfortunate, enthusiasm filled individual will probably be parted with their cash. The issue is the sellers, not the unfortunate mug. Yes, people not in the know should check, but people are people. The seller should be reported. Peter

This looks quite interesting; a new observatory in north Notts, about forty minutes away from me. It might be of interest to other SS's, Steve? A five million pounds new resource should attract quite a few visitors I would have thought. Sherwood Observatory (sherwood-observatory.org.uk) Peter Pet

Hi Steve Things not so bad here thank you. I don't get back to Mablethorpe at all; it feels a bit sad (of me I guess), but I just moved on from there. I last went beck in 2018 I think, I was asked to speak at Dorothy Gray's funeral - the showman family who used to run the amusement fairground there. It was quite daunting but I did it. I'm still in touch with a couple of people from there. How about you and Boston? Sending you my best. Peter

Sounds like Barbara Mason to me. Peter

Hi Steve I hope all is well with you my old friend. Charly need to get their finger out. I hope that they refund you more promptly than they've dealt (or not dealt) with your order. Sending my very best wishes. Your friend. Peter

My four sunflowers are doing reasonably well, although the wind blew off the first bloom the other day. I'll exceed my previous height record (not that impressive) this year, with my best one standing at 13 feet and still growing. Peter

Do you live in a mansion?

That's a beautiful part of the country my friend. In my young, and much fitter days, I canoed the Severn River from Builth Wells down into the Severn Estuary. We took a selfie under the Severn Bridge to authenticate our trip - we were doing the trip for Guide Dogs for the Blind; just called Guide Dogs today I think. I can even remember the names of one of the puppies we sponsored - Guide Dog Hannah. One night we stayed in either Haye on Wye or Ross on Wye and ended up in a Funerals Directors place - it's a very funny story but I'll save that for a more appropriate thread. Keep the wildlife posts coming . Thank you. Peter

I live in West Bridgford Dylan. There have been sightings in North Notts too. But I'm not posh. Peter

On another note, I live in a suburb of Nottingham, and recently someone walked out of our local Morrison's supermarket and saw a Wallaby in the car park. There have been numerous sightings of them in other parts of Notts too. Peter

Mm, not sure I'm certain about the person in question, although I may know them. The person I'm thinking of also knows the Latin names of plants too...................... I'm sure they wouldn't mind being "outed" for their other interest.

Thanks for all the posts - I've run out of likes. Seems like us soul fans are all wildlife fans too. Happy watching. Peter

Well as autumn approaches there's been a summer of "no shows" in my garden. For example, I haven't seen a single wasp all summer, not one. I've also seen very few butterflies. Have you had any notable by their absence creatures this year? Worrying stuff as human kind continues to destroy the planet and everything on it. James Brown was raising concerns decades ago, as were other artists. Peter

Best wishes Mark; I hope you make a good recovery Wishing Karen lots of patience in her period of caring whilst being driven crackers. Peter

I was only thinking last night; I've not seen the moon for ages. Then went outside, late on, and saw the moon, it was very orange. Nice Cheers. Peter

Thanks Mike; noted. Peter

I've been scrolling, switching, channel hopping, clicking............................. I've not been able to find anything that has grabbed by interest despite my frustrating efforts above. Finally, I stumbled across Wanted on Netflix. I don't normally get on with Australian tv/films etc - one thing I don't appreciate too much is the Australian accent; but I got past that and have to say that I'm enjoying this. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt5193358/?ref_=ext_shr_lnk Anyone found anything else that may be of interest to me? Thank you. Peter

The Nolan Chance record.

Anyone had any decent supper recently? I took some courgettes, tomatoes and chillies from the garden last night and made a sauce for my spaghetti. Peter

I like that, good catch mate. Did you take a photograph of your supper by any chance? I hope all is well with you. Your friend. Peter

Good shout for Debbie Taylor. I may have missed it but I've not seen her name yet. Peter

Great stuff Karl Well done mate, thanks for the link, and thanks for putting the mix together. Listening to that now. Hoping all is well with you my friend. Peter
