    Stafford Traffic.

    I 'discussed' them with Highways and Tarmac (or however it is) in the early days and was, essentially, told to piss off, as it was none of my business.

    Stafford Traffic.

    There is an A-road in Wales that has had roadworks continuously since 2002, scheduled to end around now. The Beaconside lights have been there far longer than the entire time it took to start and finish WW2. It is just short of the number of days between Kennedy saying "We're going to the...

    What I Did This Weekend - In Pictures!

    I wanted to do this on Friday, but Thursday had been a very long day, so I did it yesterday. The difference was clear, far more people and lots of very noisy southern accents, to the point that I altered my intended route to get a bit of quiet. Sad, really, it was impossible to avoid hearing...

    Stafford Traffic.

    The 'temporary' lights at Parkside arrived in July 2017... There are places on this planet where the tectonic plate movements are faster.

    Mundane facts about your day: Part Deux.

    I knew someone in Eccleshall who never took the keys out of the ignition for the whole time she had a car, in case she lost them.

    Astonfields Balancing Lakes.

    Yeah, it surprised me that there was no report last year, but I think it was so associated with the flooding that it got put into the Lake Sandon thread.

    Astonfields Balancing Lakes.

    I see that a new memorial bench has appeared by the Upper Lake. It was solid enough to get right out into the middle of the Lower Lake for these. The flush of spring growth freshens the place up at this time of year.

    Cars.

    I saw this, somewhere near Winchester yesterday. And in a RHD form, too.

    Does anyone know..?......Just ask a question.

    Trouble swallowing - is that the issue? If so, and if the penicillin is in hard tablet form, then crushing it into small pieces will help greatly. Keep an eye on their skin for red marks and peeling. I had a dreadful dose of this in the 90s and couldn't get it taken seriously until the initial...

    Lake Sandon.

    There was a group of people in 'smart-looking business wear' staring down into the brook just now. There was still water in the road from the 5mm of rain we had yesterday.

    What I Did This Weekend - In Pictures!

    In an attempt to not let my recent fitness gains relapse and to check matters against a 'known route' that I've often done in the past, I ventured up to the Manifold Valley yesterday. It was originally intended to be today, for the better weather, but it became clear that things had reversed in...

    Cats.

    As mentioned elsewhere, I am currently geographically unable to meet 'my' cats requirements. So, despite not actually having a cat, I have had to get staff in for her. The replacement was slightly late in attending today and she was met with a disapproving look.

    @Glam And for hanging onto it for me until now - again.

    Today I Found...

    ... a lime kiln. This one came as quite a shock to me - I have been recording any that I come across, as an appendix to the ongoing record of roadside water pumps that has been going on for a few years now. Lime kilns are a good bit rarer than pumps, but I currently have fourteen now, in the...

    What are we watching on TV?

    The Lads finished last night, with the Christmas Special. Truly a classic sit-com. Always well worth seeing again. Probably nothing regular for a few weeks now - a lot to do for the immediate future. Maybe the odd film occasionally. The Beiderbecke Trilogy has become a Nov-Dec tradition in...

    Cars.

    Perhaps not a 'car', but a form of carriage, surely?

    No non-nationals in there today. Well, there was a German, but she's gone fully feral.
