bluekarin Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Oh I agree with you, but it's an end of an era Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stoice Posted July 4, 2011 Share Posted July 4, 2011 Talking of end of an era. My old school had an open day for all it's past pupils... ...because it's going to be torn down. It's going to be an academy of sport and science. The towns sports centre is also going to be demolished and re-built on the old school tennis courts and car park. The new academy building has been built on the site of the old playing field so a complete re-shuffle. Was quite odd looking through my old classrooms one last time.

Old Speckled Hen Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 The clouds over here have been beautiful! Not a type I have seen much before & they had a lovely pink tint; so much so that the Neighbours From Hell rang me to tell me to look out for them! Almost like a DNA string, sideways! A bit like this? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 That's a brilliant photo Dani, looks a bit like vapour trails dragged in the wind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Old Speckled Hen Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Yes, it's one of mine. I took it in January at dawn. DH was driving us to London, we'd just left home and I made him stop. I thought it looked like a DNA strand and the colours were amazing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pips_pekins Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 (edited) Impressed with our dustbin men. Some people had foolishly left their bin bags out and the foxes had scattered the rubbish everywhere. The bin men cleared it all up off the road and pavement. Good blokes. The guys who do our bins are really good too. If they see me struggling to drag the bin up the drive ~(it's not long but is on a bit of an incline), they help me out and then bring it back . And no, I don't do this on purpose now I don't have anything new that's interesting to add today. Sorry! Edited July 5, 2011 by Guest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsylabrador Posted July 5, 2011 Author Share Posted July 5, 2011 The death of Highlander Scott Mclaren yesterday was horrible & brought back my main terror when ES was in Afghanistan. I hope I could have dealt with the worst news but the thought of him being captured, that horror, I don't know. We talked about it & he said it was something they thought about & made arrangements amongst themselves. I accepted that but it's awful. My thoughts are very much with the soldier's family. What a nightmare of a day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sadietoo Posted July 5, 2011 Share Posted July 5, 2011 Just caught up with this thread..Wow OSH...that photo is spectacular. We have just got back from a fabby perfomance of the Ukelele Orchestra of Great Britain in Chichester Cathedral.. they went down a storm, (mostly) although sadly "Chichester" (it's a condition, which affects a certain type of person around here and involves them being both shallow and pretentious at the same time) was present tonight in some of the audience and I think some of the people tonight hadn't read the programme properly and were disappointed that it wasn't a proper orchestra ....

ali-s Posted July 6, 2011 Share Posted July 6, 2011 Oh my goodness, I have just watched Ollie Cat being chased up our drive by a Hare Ollie jumped up onto the wheelie bin, ears flat, big wide eyes and a bushy tail. I was standing at the porch door. The Hare just carried on past me and headed towards the end of the garden and the veg garden, it had better stay away from my Caulis and Cabbages Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
patsylabrador Posted July 6, 2011 Author Share Posted July 6, 2011 Menfolk are all out tonight so I have a date with my daughter, to eat rubbishy food on our laps while watching romance or roseanne or both & share a bottle of wine or maybe cider.

I was about ED's age (nearly 18) when I wrote a lot of them doing uni visits ets, quite weird Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
