"It will be clearer in eastern Scotland and southern England for the second half of the night." BBC weather forecaster Billy Payne said Tuesday night will see "good clear skies" in Scotland and Northern Ireland please log in to view this image
I was hoping to see some, but too much cloud cover here in Consett. Might give it half an hour and have another look. I find the night sky fascinating, especially when you can identity some of the stars and realise how far away they are. The distances involved are mind boggling really.
Home and away shirt as birthday gifts from parents and wife respectively. Couldn’t ask for better presents or family. I’m a lucky lad and just ending a lush day sat in the garden with Mrs MBC with our gas burner on keeping us warm.
Wouldn't care had a bloody good day at work as well. Had an unannounced internal food safety audit and got top marks, really in depth audit so was made up with it. We've got a bbq on Saturday for the patients and the maintenance lads made this ice cream trolley to wheel round to the patients garden. The freezer plugs in to the garden power supply to keep it frozen as well, it looks mint. I was going in as a volunteer on Saturday to help out, gutted I won't be able to go in now.
If anyone plays golf and is after some clubs I’m selling mine as I’m not playing anymore. Got some brand new (ish) and some more used. Pop me a message and we can discuss
I think @Somebodys pinched my sombrero is after some new ones. This is him on the 10th at Castle Eden
Just returned to work on Monday after having had a hip replacement. 10 weeks off work and I'm struggling at times. Came back too early I reckon.
Luv it. We made a little train for outside reception at our care home. Stuck a few plants in and it looks good. A few more embellishments and it will look the bees knees. I will try n remember to take a photo or two and upload them on here next week.
Apparently it's a real thing, and it's today . . . . Happy Black Cats Appreciation Day please log in to view this image https://www.bing.com/ck/a?!&&p=2258...YXQrYXBwcmVjaWF0aW9uK2RheSZGT1JNPUVXUkU&ntb=1
Walked down Fawcett Street this afternoon, couple of things caught my eye. Anyone know what's happening with the Lloyds Bank building? That's some pretty elaborate scaffolding they've erected around and above it. Second thing was a bus passed by with the old yellow Sunderland Busways livery. Arriva or Stagecoach done it as a promo / stunt?
They done a train a couple of years ago and put it in the patients garden at Christmas, looked absolutely brilliant. Makes a big difference.
