TIDAL STREAM ENERGY
Saturday 1st November 2025.
If you thought Page 65 was too much scrolling I can tell you it is 21,300 pixels long, it could have been 60,000 pixels so be 'appy.
Between now and Christmas we will find out if Old Bob's leg is pregnant, if his eyesight fails, if he packs up driving, if his amazing idea for tidal stream energy has got any legs (pregnant or not!), if he becomes artificially intelligent, if great gran makes a miraculous recovery or if he wins bigtime on the lottery. So, lots to look forward to. In the mean time we'll get great granddaughter little Rosa's reaction to great grandfather's jokes.

It can't be that funny surely. Can you imagine what it must be like to be 'born again'? Lets hope she learns to read a map and know where North, South, East and West are and not follow Google Maps religiously. Sorry Ivan!
Back at the ranch a Red Kite is circling lazily in the evening sun, I bet he or she doesn't follow Google Maps!
You will have deduced that OK Bob doesn't have much to blog about today but tomorrow will be a different story. In the mean time have a pleasant evening, relax, imagine you are in a hot air balloon, listen to Radio 3 Unwind and don't forget to breath.

Not easy to describe OK Bob's state of mind at the moment. Following a TEAMS meeting with the students at The Advanced Engineering Centre at The University of Brighton to discuss his 'game changing idea', 'over the moon' would go someway towards describing it so lets celebrate. A long way to go but a great start to a 'game changing' future for the planet, no less.

How does Old and Very Knackered Bob feel today? Feeling much better than a ride in a hot air balloon! You made it happen.

Back in the day November 5th used to be bonfire night, fireworks, mulled wine, music, dancing, hot dogs and sparklers. I expect it still is somewhere. Dreaming again!
Somewhere up there, there is a Beaver Super Moon tonight. Moonset 7.01am. 🌕 Click or touch the moon and dream. Would you like to dance?

Somebody was having a good time last night, found a few burnt out rockets amongst the leaves in my back garden, but no mulled wine! Super moon last night was really super. Switched to Windows 11 which seems seamless, at the moment. Mike's article on the history of Brown's and their shop in the latest Fedora Mag (Page 22), (also see Blog 64) and The Oxshott Village Sign on the front cover of the latest Parish Mag Also two Professor's now on the team to sort out OK Bob's revolutionary idea for clean energy. Wot's not to like? You made it happen.

Old Bob's Dad's birthday today, happy 115th birthday Dad.
Sold Great Gran's picture on Gumtree yesterday, sorry about that. She brought it back from Israel in 1962. Recommend Gumtree. Went to church today and then The Running Mare, no comment!

If you ask Alexa to shuffle songs by Elvis Presley we could have a shuffle or a jive or a smooch! Well it is Saturday night isn't it?

Remembrance Sunday in St Andrew's Church, Cobham was very moving. Thank to all involved.
Mrs Caldicott's Cabbage War was very resonant. Old age has arrived.
Thanks for reading.
