My wife and children were travelling back, but have thankfully only been delayed. As you say, thoughts with those harmed and impacted.

My local village green feels sadly insufficient…
A large remembrance poppy sprayed onto the grass on a local village green. It is approximately 5 metres high (16 feet for old people).

Dammit, 1 ring circuit for sockets per level… and additional circuits for the heavy draws such as oven, electric showers, EV charging and so forth.

Breaker? This was back in the 1980s when we still used thin bits of wire instead of RCDs to protect circuits. Also, most UK houses (even mine built in 2011) have 1 ring circuits for sockets, ground floor, 1st floor etc. with additional heavy load circuits for oven etc. Parents house is 1 level.

Not me, but when I was living in Leicester, one of my mates found my target pistol on my dining table where I’d been cleaning it and decided to see if it would hurt if he shot his leg.
Unsurprisingly, the answer was yes. Think the bruise lasted months. I still have said pistol and still laugh.

My PhD owner of a brother did this and wondered why the house went dark…

Very true, but we really should. I definitely want to walk up the grand staircase and take my time just marvelling.

#GlutenFree you say? It would be rude not to. GF strawberry slice for breakfast dessert.

Yes, #dessert after breakfast is a thing.
A delightful looking Gluten Free strawberry slice. It is made up of 4 layers starting from the bottom, sponge, cream, sponge, strawberry jelly. On top of the jelly are two piped cream stars topped with fresh strawberries. I’m going to stop now as my mouth is watering and I want to eat it…

Looks like a shitty Las Vegas hotel now. Was much better with the green tiling, and more likely to be period appropriate considering my 18/19th Century school buildings.

Normally, you can stop on double yellows to let someone out or in etc, but clearways override those rules to ensure clear flow of traffic. Safe rule is see double yellows, don’t park. It’s weird and wonderful but I had to remind myself of rules for a holiday let during the summer for this reason!

No, that’s a clearway sign, so no stopping to let someone out or in, no disabled parking, no loading or unloading. Usual double lines apply outside those limits. There may be perpendicular lines on the pavement as well.

I know, I’m just amused imagining Pope Leo having been presented with a vampire bat (well, it is black)…

Alan @bikesnfoodnbeer.bsky.social · 2d
I’m upset that the Alt text didn’t say what kind of bat. Horseshoe, vampire, cricket?
