What a holiday weekend

The weather here in Manchester was nothing to write home about but the news on the sports front was fantastic. The test cricket from Trent Bridge, where the sun was shining, was really exciting. Cricket had been losing favour but this game has put it back on the agenda. That last day had us gripped to our TV's wondering would we win or could we lose it at that late stage. The relief could could be sinsed everywhere whan that last four was knocked and we had won.
For we United fans there was also that great victouy at Newcastle. What a hood start to the season three straight wins and not a goal scored against us. Long nay it carry on.

LET US REMEMBER

This is avery special day and anniversary for on August 15th 1945 World War 2 came to an end. This had truely been a world wide war in which people from every quarter of the world had been involved. The dropping of the dropping of the two antom bombs on Japan had brought the war to an end. The worlds worst period of devastation, inhumanity and killing was over and the world was never going to be the same again.
So let us spend a couple of moments in thought.

They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old
age shall not weary them nor the years condem
at the going down of the sin and in the morning we shall
remember them.

When you go home tell them of us,
and say,
For your tomorrow we gave our today.

There are no flowers on a sailor's grave
no lilies lay upon the waves
just the sound of the seagulls aweep
and the tear that runs down the loved ones cheek.

Default font and font size in Word

When Microsoft Word is installed, the values the default font and font size are set to Times New Roman 12pt. To change these:

1. From the Format menu, select Font.
2. In the Font dialog box, make any changes you want to the font and font size.
3. At the bottom-left hand corner of the dialog box click the default button.
4. A message box appears, asking you whether you want to change the default font. Click Yes.

In my not very humble opinion, Times New Roman is not very readable. It was designed for use in newspaper columns, and so the letters are narrow. Here are some suggestions for an alternative:

• For a serif font ( one that has little feet at the end of strokes ), try Georgia and Century Schoolbook.
• For a sans-serif font ( without little feet ), try Arial and Verdana.

Visit to Imperial War Museum 04.08.05

We had a lively visit to the War Musuem last Thursday and with the help of miniature models of the building handed to us by Thomas the Curator, we were able to get a much better understanding of the structure which we were told was of revolutionary design.
Every effort had been made to ensure that we had as much light and description as possible in each area we visited.
I personally found the big picture show difficult to see, but the dialogue was excellent and it was possible to follow events quite easily.
The very nice escort with Ken and I took a number of what I thought would really be a good record of our visit. Dave will add them to our Bloggers as soon as Irene brings the photos into Henshaws.
