A Combination Of The Two
Introduction This is going to reference two pieces, one from Vocal Resources about Filters and one of mine about building a simple Vocal Network. At the end of this piece I will link the two stories and all the people I am aware of who have joined in with the Vocal Network that I suggested. I actually thought that Vocal would add it as a resource as they did comment favourably about it and it does bring Vocal members a little closer together, but we shall see if it ever gets picked up by Vocal.

The Stripe
Introduction Just over a year ago my dad came up to visit us and his great-granddaughter Alexis Leia. We were going out for a meal and he fell and managed to shatter his knee. Below is a picture of him, me and Alexis-Leia while waiting for the ambulance.

Valentines Day Is Over
Introduction This is just a general thing about how Valentine’s Day fifty years ago was so much creepier than the current corporate “romance” fest that it has become today. I am not been curmudgeonly about this but if you go into a card shop there are cards for loads of made-up occasions, one for every family member and lots more as well as genuine occasions like birthdays, religious occasions and such. Cards are nice to receive but the plethora we have now is ridiculous and often I just get a blank card for an occasion, although someone was recently shocked that I actually bought, wrote and hand-delivered a card to a close friend.

The Amazing Formations At Brimham Rocks
Introduction I am a little worried about posting this because I am not a geologist (the only person I know who is, is my good friend Les) and all the technical bits will have to be taken from other web pages, but I will credit the borrowed text and link to the page that they come from. The description below is from the Wikipedia entry. I do hope that this is not seen as plagiarism, I have put it together because I love sharing interesting things with my friends on Vocal and elsewhere.

Telstar - The Mad Genius Of Joe Meek
Joe Meek Introduction Apparently, the first song that I ever liked according to my uncle Trevor was "Hound Dog" by Elvis Presley, I was three at the time and a picture was taken of me with curly blonde hair but I have not been able to track it down, though my sister Yvonne has all our old photographs which I have scanned, but that one is sadly missing.

Walking In A Feline Flurry
Introduction People have remarked that I go out to take pictures of cats, but actually, that is just a residual extra to my walking. On my Google Pixel 4XL, I have the Google Fit application that is available from the Google Play Store, and set myself a target of seven thousand steps a day which is about three miles. I used to do eleven thousand steps a day but that meant that I had to go out both before and after work, and now that I work from home that became not impossible but just a chore.
