Out on the streets protesting yesterday....bong ching -
The Great Friends Meeting House in Newport held the annual meeting for all the Quakers in New England between 1699 and the early 1900s. It was big enough to hold several hundred people. The photo shows the meeting house as it looks now and how it probably looked about 200 years ago in the early 1800s. Around 1700, fifty percent of Newport's population belonged to the Society of Friends. The original 1699 meeting house was square with a hipped roof and a tower.Originally posted by eighthobstruction View PostComment

Looks lie a great day weather wise but unfortunately we will probably have to say goodbye to our cat. Who is ten years old and not very well. His recurring condition has reared it's ugly head again, and it just not fair to see him suffer. Ok I know with medication, he will recover, but it seems to recur at an alarmingly increased regularity.Don’t cry for me

It's chilly today - just 4° when I went out shopping, a nasty NE wind and still under 8° now, yesterday was beautifullly warm and sunny, but perhaps it'll improve as the day progresses. Rain tomorrow seems less than originally forecast. Yesterday I went to Church for the Good Friday Passion, wonderful choir (nearly all members of the choral society) but was surprised at low attendance, whereas the Catholics (who chucked out at the same time) seemed to have had a full house. Just back from shopping when Jehovah's Witnesses turned up on the doorstep, haven't seen any of them for years (marthe's Quaker meeting house looks lovely) Just having a coffee and a hot cross bun so I am in full Easter mode!!
mangerton, thanks for the continued offer of a fish supper, it makes a change from "You'll have had your tea then?"
Calum's second earthquake made the R4 6 o'clock news!!! Let's hope things do not come in threes ........
BBM, so sorry about Shearer, I've had to do the final trip to the Vet too often, hence I no longer have a cat, it's heartbreaking having to make that decision.Comment

That's good news about Shearer BBM,we get so attached to our pets don't we.Originally posted by Brassbandmaestro View Post

BBM, I'm so glad to hear that Shearer is on the mend. The HH and I are so attached to our two cats that we go gaga over them (as HH says). We've lost 3 in the past 15 years so I understand the anguish of losing a furry friend.
Eigth, did you mention Bradford curry houses a few posts back? I've never been to one but the HH frequented a few while he was at uni in Bradford...a place called the Kash comes to mind.Comment

Don't we just marthe!! IMO, I think our vets go into panic mode as well, when our cat needs an appointment(If you remember her had kidney problems etc...)! Thankfully, not so bad and thankfully for pet insurance!!Don’t cry for me

Dismal day yesterday, woke to low rain clouds and chill wind but it stayed dry until after lunch, rain not particularly heavy until around 7pm when it closed in, nil visibility and there was a downpour. Watched the Pope's Urbi et Orbi which meant I got a plenary indulgence (always handy), was treated to traditional Easter roast lamb and best of all, a beautiful rich creamy old-fashioned homemade rice pudding, heavy on the nutmeg and lemon zest.
All this spring cleaning and decorating means I've finally sorted and pruned cds, ditto cupboards, found stuff I'd completely forgotten I had. All packed ready for charity shop. Today dawned bright, sunny, seems to be set fair until late afternoon then heavy rain, thereafter showers for majority of the week I think, but not cold.Comment
