Anybody Remember this story

A young man, the soul survivor of an attack on a wagon train to the west is transformed into a copy of a dying young woman to care for her baby by an alien device. Later found by the woman’s young son and husband. He is persuaded to continue west with them to care for the boy and baby. Gradually falling for her new family.

I had the story saved on a now dead kindle as a document and cannot find it on my laptop.

Watching the Cycling World Road Championships Women's Road Race in Belgium at the moment

Watching the Cycling World Road Championships Women's Road Race in Belgium at the moment. And while keeping my fingers crossed for Lizzie. It’s daft I know, but I still have half an ear open to hear where Jenny or Gaby Bond is! All your fault Madeline Anafrid

Has this happened to anyone else?

Twenty years ago (I had to check, it's that long), I got the DVD Silverado, A film I've always wanted to watch. But every time I've put it by the player to watch. Something has happened and I've never got to watch it.
This Christmas it was on the tv, so I decided I'll watch on broadcast. What happened, three phone calls and a neighbour knocking on the door with a problem and could I help. I did get to see about tens minutes worth spread about over the film so to be pointless.

You are caught in a snow blizzard

You are caught in a snow blizzard and take refuge in a Coaching Inn.
The landlord shows you to a table for the evening meal and you find you are sharing a table with…

Well for me it would be the late Sir Terry Pratchett. Author of my favourite book, ‘Night Watch’. I will regret all my life I never had the chance to meet him.

But who would you choose to share that meal with, be they dead or alive?

Anon Allsop’s ‘A Love So Bold’ & the journey west

A Love So Bold by Anon Allsop is one of my favourite stories here on BC. But being English and in England and although having lived in Australia when young, you do not really appreciate the distance that waggon train that Hannah and Gideon travelled with covered to reach the Willamette Valley at the end of the story.

You think you do, but in modern times with air travel and maybe an hour long television documentary cannot really give the feel of the time or distance it took Hannah and Gideon’s little family to make the journey across America.

Have a Train ride on Gaby’s Zug (Train)

If you would like to see the train ride (Zug) that Maddy Bells Gaby, Connie and the gang use to go to school when it is too cold to cycle (& see the cycle track they use as well!). Or the ride on to Remagen where they go swimming or Bonn where they shop. Then these three YouTube videos are for you.

The first video one starts at Ahrbruck (end of the line) to Ahrweiler. Stopping at Altenahr, Mayschob, Rech, Dernau. (20mins 37sec)

Help Please re-Windows10

I had to roll back to the previous version of windows 10 after the last update added cortina.

The result was my laptop slowed down so much that at times what should have taken brief seconds froze the screen for minutes and looking at the task manager (again minutes to load) showed the cpu was working at 100 percent.

Penny's World will be a little late this week

Sorry, Penny's World will be a little late on account I have not written it this week.
This is entirely Karin Bishop's fault for writing Port of Arrival and then setting it free from her pc. I am completely blameless.
Real life got in the way as well, but it is mainly Karin Bishop's fault.
I will start writing and stop reading now!

I'm With the Band by Melanie Brown

Have just read Melanie Brown's 19 part story 'I'm With the Band'. It is a good story and if like me you only joined BC in the last couple of years you may have missed it.

It is well worth reading and she has plenty more stories to read in her story listings. Thank-you Melanie for the good reading.
