I think I've already mentioned the street at work I thought was named after some Arab geezer. Benledi Street. Turns out there should be a space in there that got missed out, it's named after somewhere in Scotland called Ben Ledi.

How's this?

They look promising. How long do you reckon before they go outside, is it months or years? I'd give it a few more weeks before you start building the tree house though.

An old lady in a tapered black top hat made my son jump when she suddenly popped out of the cottage near the castle. She was the worst Windy Miller impersonator I have ever seen.

Bister, went there once for work purposes. Like Worcester (Wooster). How about the name Beauchamp (Beecham)

I always said Larn because I thought that's what I heard others saying, to be fair they were Brummies living nearby.

I was looking at maps of my weekend route and this cracking name for a small wood leapt off the page at me.

Oooh, that reminds me, must go and turn the indoor valve off on my outside tap, thank you Pete.

Showing off with your proper length springs I see.

Rode home from work (brrr). Filled up my fuel tank and then actually hosed my bike down when I got home. First time ever, Just to get all the white shit off the thing (salt city)!! I thought best to hose it in the afternoon as if I wait my new neighbour will be home from work and he is always standing at his open door or in his garage with the door open. He's a smoker and I think the real house owner has forbidden him to smoke indoors. He always seems to be there when ever I step out my front door, even late at night and I can't stand an audience all the time. On the plus side his parking is excellent and I can get my bike in and out of the garage at any time without moving my car. Next time I ride the bike (Friday) I am off to Norfolk for the weekend via B roads. Shame it's winter, won't be able to check out toe numbers on the locals.

Too lathey to swap stuff about. I'm here all week.........

And I'll bet the dog got the blame.

It's the farting and filthy habits of Lamb plus his total don't give a monkey's attitude, kept me laughing. I reckon getting the ex Dracula actor to play him was a good idea. A good read. The sequel is looking to be as good.

I have finished the first book and am well into the second at the moment. At some point I may cough up to watch it on the box.

And anti-glare nylon.

That's cos they explode when in direct sunlight.

My AutoCAD planet wrapped in a jpeg of a rusty bit of metal.

Betelguese waiting to go bang at the top there I think, if that's Orion's belt at the bottom.

To be fair they were probably a bit grumpy already when they got handed the cards.

On my way home I stopped to put my gloves on and wrap up properly for the motorway. I had pulled into a little dead end by the Ragged School Museum just as the rubbish barge went past on the canal. That's a little Oompah Loomper marine dustman balancing on top.

I forgot to post this the other day as I was being ill but in a manly way. As I walked past one of my windows I saw a large group of people standing across the road. Must be school chucking out time I thought, living very close to one, twice a day is usually pretty busy, usually with parents in cars that are too big for them to perform basic driving manoeuvres. Then I noticed one of the people had a top hat on with a veil hanging at the back, then it occurred to me that the rest were dressed pretty smartly. THEN I thought I was seeing things, but no, my picture shows it was so.....Delboy has diversified! They popped a coffin in the back and off the van went with a black limo following.

Eire as well I heard, despite them still being in the EU. Not been shopping since Monday night when I got a bad case of the man-sniffle/shiver and shakes, so have stayed indoors. All the veg I saw on show there has probably been snatched by the hoarders now, to put with their 3 years supply of toilet roll. Although I did actually buy some tomatoes, my nose had started running on Monday afternoon at work, so I always buy tomatos and oranges to give myself a vitamin C boost.

If you can afford it, pound coins are thicker, there's easily a good 20 quid needed though.
