Mundane News

I just remembered what I was going to say.
The Royal Scott steam engine went through yesterday evening. I was a little bit late getting to my viewing spot after driving my wife back from Swindon.
I think that a small helicopter was filming the train's journey as the noise of that masked that of the steam engine which took me totally by surprise so I didn't have my camera ready.

It's got nowt to do with me, not my trees.

Not your birds either, but that doesn't stop people wanting them to thrive.

The generator is the thing the size of the Fabbers & Wimpers caravan in the garden.

A digger is coming to take up some of the pavement and, with a bit of luck, run a new main into the house.

Is this the rest of the office bods setting up their own heating system....?

Perhaps you'd like to take the matter up with my next door neighbour.

 

[EltonFrog]

It would be a bit easier for you to do that, surely?

Of course it would but I won't.

Sounds like a plan. Tomorrow is my second birthday too.

Your second birthday?

Thanks. We are back home tomorrow and this week is the first time I have been back to Amsterdam for yonks!
Plan to return when I shall cast my net wider.

Have they finished all the excavations/building etc for the underground railway line that goes under the broad wide street in the centre of Amsterdam? When I was there they were in the middle of a massive "cut and cover" job, which should be finished now.

I was a regular visitor from 2008 until last year. It was an ever ongoing project for the last 5 years or so it seemed.

I am sat invigilating in an exam at the moment, more bored than a really bored person. I am having a bet with myself as to which student will finish first, put their head on the desk and go to sleep. As long as they don't snore it's not a problem.

The building works did not spoil my visit, but I would like to see Amsterdam again when they have finished. Leiden was a very quiet quaint town.

Do cats get Alzheimers? We heard Gwen yelling her head off again so I went upstairs to find out what the matter was. This time she was sat in front of the mirror yelling at some strange cat that refused to go away.
