Today I saw...

[proactive]

He's always out and about though I usually see him either on Radford Bank or the Isabel Trail. Carries all the kit, including a chainsaw, at times, on his bike.

Top chap.

Ah, you should be OK.

It's not like taking an MP40 up the Chase for a photo-shoot....

Hey come on, you can see some pretty weird shit up the Chase. I'm convinced from my camping days there's some kind of Velociraptor roaming about in Sherbrook Valley.

I was lucky enough to get a pair of love birds in the fire sale

They were delicious

2 blokes in a large-ish pick up, partition off a bit of the car park across the way here. Wonder how long the yobs will leave it alone?

I'm sure a country that would dismember a neighbour in the year 2000 for a gallon of unleaded petrol will take all this in its stride

More roadworks appearing on the Doxey road. Town entrance.

[Thehooperman]

A lift with three doors and each floor opening on a different side. To add to the confusion the lift call buttons on the outside for floors 1 and 2 only have down buttons but the lift buttons inside will let you also go up.

My room is along a very convoluted route with many turns and steps to negotiate.

Not a bad room for a Spoons though.

Could be fun trying to find my room later.

 

[Gramaisc]

At least you'll be in the same building...

 

[BobClay]

That reminds a bit of a Canadian Sci-Fi horror film from a few years ago called 'Cube.' It was about some people trapped inside a cube that was part of a giant Rubik like maze machine, some filled with deadly booby traps, which shuffled about. Quite good as I remember it.

...this book, in the Hospice Warehouse.

I had a good look around, but I couldn't find @Trumpet anywhere.

 

[Trumpet]

Did you flip the flaps?

 

[Thehooperman]

A sign in the car park of the Co-op funeralcare place on the corner of Stone Road and Holmcroft Road and it read "resident parking only".

I'd expect the residents would be a bit beyond driving, wouldn't you?

 

[BobClay]

…. and I bet the car park is pretty full … (with cars going back to a Model T Ford I should think.)

As a former Met Office employee, and having spent many hundreds of hours sending Weather Obs on a Morse key all over the world, I feel obliged to give you a series of highly technical meteorological observations being experienced right now.

It's pissing down.
It's starting to blow a hooley.
The arse has fell out of the barometer.

Battening down the hatches as I speak.

It's currently a very pleasant 29 degrees here.

Sun and high twenties, low 30s forecast for the foreseeable.

Happy days.

998, long way to go yet

 

[BobClay]

Not the pressure itself … the trend that's important. Perhaps I should have said the barograph, but mine is fairly crude, but the line is like the down side of a cliff.
