I know it is nature but I don't like to see animals/fish get killed and there was a bit too much of that for me.
On saying that I wonder how much it would cost to get to French Polynesia

I don't normally have a problem with nature red in tooth and claw, but I watched a documentary recently about a group of male lions, brothers, and till then I hadn't realized exactly how vicious they are, it was a bit much even for me who's not usually fazed by such things.

That was to the SSE sort of direction but I was using an app that seem to indicate it was behind the trees even when I walked to the edge of the park to get a better distance. Then I thought I had better go home and eat my porridge

Sorry it looked as though you were looking towards the Moon as we first did this morning.

Where was the moon this morning....? Weirdly looking at another photo that I took from home that the moon was SE? But both images are wide angle making it harder to say.

I've bought a window cleaning extension pole with a squeegee and blade attached, for 6 quid,reduced from £15. I'm going to clean my own windows,seeing as the window cleaner round here charges £1 a window. That's means a fiver a month to do mine. Which means 60 quid a year. Not only that but he isn't as good as i was at cleaning windows(he leaves them streaky and doesn't clean the frames) So why not do it myself and save a few quid i ask?
I know some might think it's sad but i'm actually looking forward to using it!

@Accy cyclist , cleaning windows well is an underappreciated talent. I always had a little guy come round and do our store windows, finally the shopping center contracted to have him do them all. Why? Because he was just better at it. Enjoy the window cleaning.

Happy to report that the entire street now knows that I punched the wrong code into the house alarm a few minutes ago....

We recently changed the code and I mispunched it

Yes. I think it would have been way over to lower left corner. It could be that it was too bright and so they weren't visible as I found later as I tried pointing them out to my wife.
When we first went out we were staring up at the Moon not knowing what we were looking for. It was only when I saw it on the TV that I thought. "Oh that!" "I just saw that over there!"

I have now unvolunteered to play bass and sing backing vocals in a "scratch" band for our programme's go-live party.

Have you noticed it appears to be all men of a certain age or children?

It usually is. Before I worked, I had time for model railroading, once I started working, I just joined a club, didn't care to work on my own layout. Then I got more into photographing full sized trains, which sort of ended the direct involvement with models. I may get back into it when I have a lot of free time, so long as cycling and photography have time in my schedule.

The brakes on my car are making a high pitched noise as if metal is grinding on metal. I have booked it into the garage. It won't be fixed tomorrow as they don't carry spares, but they will be able to tell me whats wrong with it, tell me how much it will cost me, and book it in to be fixed.
