Leaking Taps Well Caredig are here to fix dripping tap, they don't change washers any more, they change the taps! What a wasteful world we live in. I said to the chap why not change just the washer? seems a waste not to, so he went to see if he had just a washer and he would Job done, and the taps were changed

 SA RADIO LIVE is coming! From 30th September 2024 at 7am, Swansea's TRULLY local radio station will be SA RADIO LIVE. The station will feature ex-Swansea Sound and The Wave presenters, along with some of the current Radio Tircoed presentation team. Join Shaun Tilley for Breakfast and Steve Dewitt mid-mornings from 30th September.  Other voices from the past include Griff Harries, Siany, Leighton Jones, Mark Powell, Matthew Morrissey, James Lewis, Smithy, Mike Menner, Chris Harper, Karl Burtonshaw and more! You can also continue to hear Dave Hixson, Dave O'Rourke, Serious Jones, Mike Lewis and others currently on Radio Tircoed. I will also continue to host In The Groove on a Saturday Night, in a new time slot of 10pm until 1am. I will also be cropping up at other times of the week as I fill in for those who need time off from their shows! There have been some test transmissions for SA RADIO LIVE which you can listen again - just follow these links TEST 1 https://philipphilengl...

So after months of having Karl Burtonshaw trying to get me to start back at Swansea's only community radio station he has succeded! I'm back!  Karl is a very  persistant chap! I startted back on 20th April with my show, In The Groove , which airs on a Saturday evening between 6pm and 8pm, LIVE. If you have followed me for a while you will know what the show is all about, it remains that but with added extras, such as local content. Also on board at the station is Shaun Tilley, ex-Swansea Sound & The Wave plus BBC and other stations. He is a radio legend and someone I have been following the career of over time. He has big plans for the station, which, at time of typing this blog, is not public knowledge, so won't be put here until it is. I've been made part of the management team going forward, which is a massive honor for me, and shows that someone who is in the know in the radio world has faith in me. I've been a big part of Radio Tircoed's past. I was the...

After going to 3 Toby 's in the past week...  Monday: https:// www.tobycarvery.co.uk /restaurants/midlands/ quintonbirmingham #/ Wednesday:   https:// www.tobycarvery.co.uk /restaurants/wales/ thecockleshellswansea #/ Friday:   https:// www.tobycarvery.co.uk /restaurants/wales/ whitchurchcardiff #/   I decided to try to recreate something.... Just put together a vegetable bake. Part boiled some sliced potatoes and carrots, then into a creamy mushroom sauce added grated garlic and English mustard, shook it up.  Layered up the carrots and potatoes and put some of the sauce, put in a small tin of sweetcorn, more sauce, then the rest of the carrots and potatoes and the rest of the sauce. It's in the oven ready to bake later  It would go well with smoked haddock, smoked cod or the cheaper smoked white fish  Oh yes, Saturday Kitchen is on BBC One at 10am on Saturday! Photo will be here later! What dish have you tried to recreate from a restaurant? 

  In to the fifth month of the year , still getting tired a lot, my blood pressure seems to be improving, and my diabetic blood sugar levels seem to be within a good range. Eye wise, I am due some laser zapping again to clear up as one specialist called it, frosting behind the lens that was put in, after that my vision should be ok, so am now on a waiting list for that!   5 th May 2023: Woke up by great pain in my right arm, right shoulder, top of my back and neck, feeling sick with the pain again too. Pain is at 9 out of 10 I would say.   8 th May 2023: Well, it’s my 48 th birthday today, kind of a quiet one, uneventful, but that’s ok. Pain at a capable level, felt a little queasy this morning but not sick though.   9 th May 2023: Managed to venture out today with Neil. Had a little walk along the beach foot path, got some good fresh sea air and some moody photos, here is one of them.... photo © Philip (Phil) England MMXX!!! 16th May 2023: Last...
