Just looking in to see what is what. Blues, cats, cakes and photography and stuff. Might have spent 30 years in broadcast. Header pic Caban Coch Dam in the Elan Valley in Wales. Water topping the dam is normal when it is full.

No. Absolutely no. If they give him anything it denigrates everything from Nobel, past and future.

Yeah, that would be a no. Especially as the dumbo forgets the other countries here.

Jim Lovell, the Commander of Apollo 13, has died. Four times in space. A reminder of a time before the billionaires.

Apollo 13 in Real Time A real-time interactive journey through the third lunar landing attempt. Relive every moment as it occurred in 1970.

Heck. 97 though.
When the press were not bothered until suddenly they were. 55hrs 54 mins in you can see survival through training and determination. I just cant imagine it.

There is an opening here to prank the lot of them (safely of course, on the sea and all that). Cruise around on a rib or three and see who takes the bait.
Call it "Doing a Lowe" or something.

Two boats make a dash for it every year down the Thames, they need to be stopped. The TV even film it.

Marauding baa baa's can be an issue. When they are out it is slow anyway. Look after them.
We have a lot of mobile and static camera's, easier on an island. The Motorway have a lot as well. Some sections are average speed. You just get a letter in the post saying you been naughty and Β£60 please.

Not really an issue in built up. Doesn't really gain you a lot. Just down the road from me are national speed limits aplenty.

*Important Notice To My Customers In The USA*

Last week Donald Trump brought forward the end of the De Minimis exemption for goods under $800 to 29th August, much, much sooner than anyone anticipated and with no time for postal services on either side of the Atlantic to adapt to this change.

Four curved fossils, each resembling animal horns, are displayed against a plain white background. Their textures vary from smooth to ridged, in shades of grey and brown. A blue banner to the right reads: β€œMythical Creatures, 26 Jul 2025 – 22 Feb 2026.” The Colchester Castle logo is shown in the bottom left corner.

British folklore called these fossils Devil’s toenails: gnarly oyster shells up to 200 million years old. They might not belong to the Devil, but they’re still ancient, strange, and wonderful. Spot them in Mythical Creatures at Colchester Castle: colchester.cimuseums.org.uk/events/mythical-creatures

Loads on the beaches around here, sometimes loose but usually embedded, sometimes single, sometimes large groups. Often with friends. But always I have always called the devils toenails.

Funny how I manage to do it every day with no lack of concentration. Needle works just fine at 20 as it does at 30 or 60 etc.
I often see young L drivers in the 20 sections doing what they should and they manage it.
Maybe he needs refresher lessons.

A spoked wooden gun carriage wheel propped up against a wall, surrounded by items including a dagger, nit combs, shoes and a flagon. There is also a smaller solid wheel next to it.

These days you keep your spare wheel in the boot, on the Mary Rose they used the orlop deck!

The orlop deck, from the Dutch 'overlopen', or overlap, was the lowest deck of a ship, used to store everything from clothes to longbows, as well as spare parts for gun carriages!

I am bemused,anecdotal, heating allowance one biggy but expect socials and press have played their part well. Wales is supposed to be a nation that looks after people, Italian cafe's are a thing, now a few generations in but we have the demons getting bolder. Will people see No10 and Senedd separate

Is it #FindsFriday or #HillfortsFriday ? πŸ€”πŸ˜‰

This little slingshot has been lost among stones of a hillfort rampart for over 2000 years...

Nice to spot it yesterday, and bag it up with other finds from the excavations on this scheduled fort
