Warm September days and being paired with some chilly nights. It'll be subzero before I know it
That is very pretty . . . the flowers, not the Stalinist Worker's Paradise painting . . . with the Mountain Dew sign over it
Attachment 75727What did he invent that has saved countless lives?
^ pre-nuptial agreements
No, I am one of a handful of people who know where he is buried. Unmarked grave and deserves a mausoleum.Quote:

His grave is unmarked. This is a scabby, cheap stone plaque that the local council deemed sufficient to honour his memory. It is situated near the main entrance to the cemetery and is set in a plot set aside for cremation memorials. His grave is situated in just about the only area of grass in the cemetery and is found by grid reference. No other gravestones within a hundred feet of him.

I will revisit and provide the GPS coordinates.Quote:

The picture above showing a policeman carrying a child dates from 1966. It was the Aberfan Disaster when 144 people died, 112 of them children. I had attended Pantglas school as a child, my father being the village policeman. The policeman in the picture is Vic Jones, he was the man who got me interested in angling with his stories of salmon poaching. He was great to me and the last time I spoke to him he had eaten a huge jar of pickled onions that my mother had made. He could not eat chips as he was diabetic and this was the eventual cause of his death. He was my father's best man.
And the bloke in the headscarf far right.

Went hiking on Sunday, Mongolia was particularly photogenic
No more lockdowns then?
Not for the time being, hoping it stays that way. If there is I'll probably get on a plane to either Turkey or Dubai and work from there remotely but with less restrictions.
Oh Panzer IV how I admire thee let me count the ways over a bottle of British Bulldog beer.
Is there no end to the reinventions of the Panzer IV that the barmy boxheads can come up with...
In another variation for the wehrmacht heer armoured division this is a Panzer IV/70(A) Self Propelled Anti-Tank Gun which has a much longer L/70 version of the regular 75mm L/40 armament

The prospects of getting a similar position in the oil industry looked slim, so my thoughts turned to buying a pub. I chose to do course with Moorlands Brewery in Abingdon, Oxfordshire (brewers of "Old Speckled Hen", and gain British Institute of Innkeeping creditation. First time that I'd been in Abingdon since doing my para course at RAF Abingdon in 1970.Quote:
