A new group for people with Parkinson's and their support workers/family is being set up.
Still in it's early stages the groups committee are looking for premises where meetings could be held.#
I'll update once a venue and date/time has been sorted out.

If I have to watch a cookery programme, then it is Rick Stein, who goes to some great places to cook, and he isn't one of those over-enthusiastic wannabe gobby celebs...

James Martin has been in the news recently not just about his cancer scares but it appears he has been taking his frustrations out on the crew that film his touring shows and his Saturday morning kitchen show.
It would appear that on the Sat morn shows at one point his house became flooded, apparently this was the fault of the crew, and he "lost his rag". This is what comes of turning your home into a virtual film set, Anthony Worrall Thompson did the same thing when he did the show as apparently you get more money if you use your own house, therefore {because of greed} there is a certain amount of risk involved.

I used to look forward to J.M. cookery shows but I've gone off him as his "recipes" seem to cater for the more affluent in our community and I have it on good authority by someone who met him he's a bit of a miserable sod.
Obviously a real fine dining cook {I call them all cooks as you don't chef food you cook it}

Give me Jamie Oliver every time, plain simple recipes plain simple food, no faffing about............

Every time they put the stamp prices up it's another nail on the R.M.'s coffin.

Lets face it the vast % of what drops on your doormat is junk nowadays, but good or bad this is what is helping keep them afloat.
I was a latecomer to technology {computers mobiles and the like} not till I was in my 60's and I still haven't fully grasped all it has to offer, this is why I still insist on hard copies of my bills etc. by post, even though I can usually look it up on line. There are some companies I deal with that tell me they will charge me for a postal bill, for example EE charges £3:80 per posted bill and it probably costs them 50p tops to send it out, but I work on the principal of while ever I need a posted bill delivering there's a need for a postman/woman.


I had to learn the techie thig of using laptops for my work years ago. Did two courses and yes they helped as prior to that I couldn't even switched a laptop on!!
I print a lot of my own paperwork these days and use external drives for storage.
Rubbish at putting posters together though  :))  I know a man that can and he's pretty good bless him. :)

I have missed Curry's the most as I get my ink cartridges from there since Tesco stopped selling them.
I've been ordering online but prefer local shops.
If I can buy electrical goods from Euronic ( Marshalls in Clay Cross) I will but Curry's is my next port of call  if not


I always get mine on line from the Cartridge people, never been disappointed yet and reasonably priced.
It's one of the very rare occasions I order online although I usually get my daughter to order them as her company deals with them and she just puts my address in for the ones I want and I give her the money when I see her.
