The Dream of Mrs L.L. Nicholson from Oakland, California (1924)
post.
In 1924 California’s Tribune-American newspaper ran a competition for
its readers to write in with their most unusual dreams and the winning
entry was made into a short film.
This is Mrs L.L. Nicholson from
Oakland’s dream of losing her baby, rowing across San Francisco Bay,
picking up some fish, and eventually discovering her lost child in a
most unusual place and in trouble with the law. .............

the view from inside the Hebden Bridge Trades Club today |
(As is usually the case) I will keep adding/taking away stuff in this post over the next few days.
I will also attempt the tricky task of trying to translate the post into Kentuckyanese but I'm really not promising anything on that !
At the moment I will pop a few Joan Shelley videos below.These i may replace eventually with my photos/ video from Sunday's gig

among these dark satanic mills
Gentrifying The Grimy Republic It's a dirty job ,but someone has to do it.....
was worth the money? All I can say is, I was surprised today how good it looks.
Me & Cath go next week to the opening of the new Halifax Library which is just next door to The Piece Hall.

REST IN PEACE My longtime Blogspot buddy Andrew Keogh here is his obituary in The Guardian. he died of lung cancer aged 66, and was a barrister, blogger, writer and political activist. He was born in Leeds.An avid Leeds United.Gratful Dead & Coffee fan.....(n.b.we also had a mutual friend in Clive A.
They went to the L.S.E.in the early 70's)
here is a link to "White Rabbit" to Andrew's blogspot.Go on sweetly,dear legal man......

A bit of a dilemma for me this weekend .So what to do? Should I take the capitalist shilling which goes against the spirit of what i do here? On the other hand , what google would give me would more than pay for my smugmug photo album subscription each month.

sell your cleverness and buy bewilderment
Me and Cathy with friends. |
2nd left:My Aunty Brenda. |
This week's sepia saturday
is around sepia ladies 'working out' in The Olden Days.
A fairly easy one for me this week.My Aunty Brenda travelled from
Scotland to Essex in the early 1900's.
It was a Ladies College.She was training in Podiatry.
And this is how she did it.......
it looks like she had her some fun.
This must have been a quite liberating experience for a late-Victorian lass.......
From someone at the start of a career...to someone at it's end.
I retired on Wednesday...... I went out into Hebden Bridge at 4pm this afternoon for a few nice drinks with some of the lassies from work.
On Friday 1st September (kick off 7.30pm) I will be having drinks in The White Lion in Hebden Bridge . All Welcome
