Note the flaw in the paper on the head that looks like a cute little dimple.

Happy Last Week in July,

Hard to believe we're nearly 7/12ths done with 2015. Speaking of time flying, while at dinner at my folks' place this week, Nana trotted out a box of Lego I played with as a kid. Seeing toys I loved, 30 years later, left me with a wide smile. I instantly started piecing together familiar, but forgotten bricks. Watching the boys enjoy the toys widened my grin. Was nice to see that circle close. Thank you Nana for giving me the same great gift a second time.

If you'll remember my mail from last week... We killed Ellie, the boys' goldfish, in less than 24 hours. Naturally, we endeavor to teach our kids the power of persistence in the face of adversity. So, to that end, this week, we acquired 7 new goldfish and a second goldfish bowl. New fish. New equipment. Same result. 7 dead gold fish, and another gold fish funeral, in less than 48 hours. #BestParentsEver We're going to take a little gold fish break over here.

Was time this week for my annual jam batch. Pluot on Monday and Mango Habanero on Sunday. Both were might tasty if I do say so myself. Come on by and I'll happily share.

Saturday was soccer day. The boys had their customary morning practice, which preceded a very special treat. I was given a gift of four tickets to see Manchester United play Futbol Club Barcelona at Levi's Stadium in the afternoon. As one friend said: "You're setting the bar pretty high there, Mike." ManU and Futbol Club Barcelona are two of the world's most prestigious soccer teams. For the boys get to experience this as their first game was a unique opportunity indeed. The twins had a great time, left it all on the field, and crashed on the train ride home. I was particularly proud of the thank you notes they wrote to their benefactor.

Happy, lucky, and thankful. It's a great way to live.

Have a wonderful week.

Mike

This is the way a "note" used to be sent. This is part of a collection of old correspondence, christmas cards, post cards and valentine cards that I've had for years.

It seems I am sooo behind that I lost track of the deadline dates! lol Well I can't post it to the challenge but I can share with my contacts! Maybe I should make a "note" of challange deadline dates!

This photograph was published in the Illustrated Chronicle on the 22nd of January 1916.

During the Great War the Illustrated Chronicle published photographs of soldiers and sailors from Newcastle and the North East of England, which had been in the news. The photographs were sent in by relatives and give us a glimpse into the past.

The physical collection held by Newcastle Libraries comprises bound volumes of the newspaper from 1910 to 1925. We are keen to find out more about the people in the photographs. If you recognise anyone in the images and have any stories or information to add please comment below.

Copies of this photograph may be ordered from us, for more information see: www.newcastle.gov.uk/tlt Please make a note of the image reference number above to help speed up your order.

note: Looking at this model, I wonder if it is in fact a SANO product, as Excelsior used various manufacturers and this cabinet and knob design doesn't closely resemble any other SANO amps.
