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. Thanks to all involved.
Mrs Caldicott's Cabbage War was very resonant. Old age has arrived.
Thanks for reading.
Tuesday 11th November 2025.
OK Bob's decision to pack up blogging didn't last long did it? Pressure from regular readers!
As we all know today is Remembrance Day and at 11 o'clock a short service at The Cobham Tilt Memorial Stone was attended by G G Father and Mother with their wheels. A cherry tree on The Tilt remembers all those from Cobham who never came back. Respects were paid to George Bush who they didn't know but they knew his Father, Mother and family so thanks to George. 'We will remember them'.

The news from Epsom Hospital about OK Bob's pregnant leg is that it is definitely pregnant but they won't be doing anything about it because he is too bloody old. Phew!
About 80 years ago Great Gran was given a doll called Snuggles. Snuggles was largely responsible for G Gran's love of babies and finding her vocation. Snuggles is now in a bit of a state so OK Bob has applied to the BBC's Repair Shop to restore it. Watch this space. G Grandad would normally mend it in his shed but his nails are rusty, his elastic band is perished, he can't see and he wobbles. It happens!
If you feeling a bit off, cheesed off with the news or simply feel like dreaming I make no apology for recommending Angel Radio (again) click HERE to dream.

To enjoy Angel Radio you have to have a million memories and rhythm.

You'll forgive OK Bob dreaming about Vera Lynn but she will be featuring in his chat to the children of Year 6 next week about his war experiences in Oxshott. He's got another invite from his old school. He's rehearsing! #We'll meet again #Dum dum dee #Dum dum day! It's being so cheerful etc etc. It's a Foxtrot. Very sad!
