Station!

Taken on the way to the knitting meet-up.

The Lavender Hill Mob

I dropped in at work to speak to my boss and coincidentally the new uniforms arrived. The lavender blouses/shirts seem a bit of an odd colour choice but actually it looks surpisingly good , at least on the one person who tried hers on - whether it'll look as good on the men remains to be seen though!

You ain't got a thing if you ain't got that zing

Zingy daffodil. Check out that blue sky! It was baltic in the shade though, a chilly wind.

Paperweight

The best kind of paperweight - the kind you can tinker with. Pipe'n'Slippers' midlife crisis continues.

An evening in with the Stig

He was adjusting the fit. Or something.

Dull even for knitters

The choice for photos today was 1) my knitting or 2) Monsieur Alky's motorcycle helmets (for he has several - okay, two). But as he used the helmets pic in his blog it'll have to be the knitting.

Towering Bin-ferno

Sorreeeeeee..

These are the new wheelie bins arriving - these are for the monthly glass collection. Until now we were part of a pilot scheme for glass collection - it was fortnightly and we had large bags to put the glass in. I think the wheelie bin will work out a bit better. Unstacking the bins, attaching wheels and distributing them seemed to be a job that required much SHOUTING of random things by the hi-vis-bedecked guys, but much respect to the driver of the lorry who, as this street is a cul de sac, had to reverse a very looong lorry up hill, round a tightish corner and avoiding parked cars. I was impressed. The kids enjoyed watching the whole process.
