Not much lack of cold, even less atmospheric movement, quite
a lot of drizzly skywater and sod all solar stuff at the Castle this morn, back
again for a quickie: the old elbow is a whimsy better, the new painkillers are
doing their job, but it has taken a few days to “adjust”, no post tomorrow as I
have to go up to the Aldershot centre for Elfs to have a fasting blood test so I
want to sleep as late as possible because if I don’t have my morning coffee I
can get a bit “touchy”.
The garden is going through a blue period:
There are some Bluebells

Some blue globey things
Even more forget-me-nots

And just to bugger it up some immigrant Pinkbells.
To the place that is plain; Wiltshire police have defended
using a convoy of patrol cars to escort a community support officer riding a
mobility scooter.
Apparently the scooter was being driven to a nearby police
station in Salisbury following the arrest of a man on suspicion of theft and
assault.
Police decided the easiest way of getting the scooter to the
police station was to ask a PCSO to ride it there, escorted by two marked
patrol cars.
Does that mean that every mobility scooter has to have a
police escort?
The Millionaires Club Coalition is close to a divorce over
the In-Out EU thingy, U-Turn Cam is allegedly going to publish “draft
legislation” which would write into law the pledge made by the Prime Minister
earlier this year.
Apparently the development, which emerged in Washington last night, came
after Bollock Obama effectively backed Dave’s attempts to renegotiate Britain’s
relationship with the EU before ordering a referendum. The president called for the Prime Monster to be given time to “fix” the EU, as he warned that Britain would lose influence if it ever left the single market.
Har-fucking-har; what influence.......
And up a lot; On Friday, an airborne car crashed near
Ellison Elementary School in Vernon, B.C., after the parachute it uses to stay
afloat collapsed.
The pilot and a passenger were taken to hospital
with non-life threatening injuries, the RCMP told Global News.
The Maverick LSA
Flying Car was made in the Florida by I-TEC and is certified by the U.S.
Federal Aviation Administration.
On its site, I-TEC
says the powered parachute's "design has been developed as an
easy-to-operate – air, land, and snow craft. It is intuitive and safe to fly,
drive and maintain by people in frontier areas of the world enabling them to
use this unique vehicle in missions and humanitarian applications."
Or not as the case may be.....
A female council boss has been suspended over allegations
she bit the bum of the only male employee within her department.
The man, in his early 20s, bled through his underwear and
had to be taken to hospital for a tetanus jab following the alleged incident at
Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council, in South Wales.
An internal investigation is now being carried out into the bizarre
incident, which is believed to be the culmination of a series of office pranks
that spectacularly backfired.
The council has suspended the department manager, who has
not been named but is in her 40s, pending the outcome.
Junior female work colleagues, who witnessed the alleged
attack, are due to be interviewed.
A council spokesman said: "Following a complaint, we have suspended an employee as a neutral act, as is standard procedure whilst an investigation is carried out. Therefore we are unable to comment any further."
Unable to comment my arse.....
And finally:
The SS Ayrfield (originally launched as SS Corrimal), was a
collier ship built in England in 1911 and used by the Commonwealth
Government during World War II to transport supplies to American troops in
the Pacific. It was sold in 1950 and operated as a collier on the
sixty-mile run between Newcastle and Sydney, until 1972 when the ship’s
registration was cancelled and it was sent to its final resting place, Homebush
Bay before the 2000 Olympic Games.
The SS Ayrfield, which locals often refer to as the Floating
Forest has a bunch of full-grown mangrove trees growing on it now calling this
rusty partly-submerged piece of metal home, creating a new and unique
attraction that draws in photographers from all over the world.
Wood you believe that?
That’s it: I’m orf to buy a hard
hat-just in case
And today’s thought:
Education, education, education....
