Tales of Home [3]

what? we're partying with the seniors, like last year in high school..

Just make sure there is no drunk driving Norc- dont get in if theyve had a few!
I hate drunk drivers and there is no excuse for it at all ever.

Even more reason a Mustang is cool ! Norc

Oooh those kind of seniors. My bad.

Carry on.

just got home. no drunk drivers.  though a lot happened..

oh. and happy birthday Eldo. something will come up here later today, although.. i am gonna sleep for some hours  you'll just have to wait.

A long, hard night of partying, I see.

Thanks, Norc! You're the first person to wish me a happy birthday today without me having to go say hi to them first (i.e., my family).

wee!!  first

Not a bad walk to the paper shop of a morning this I have to admit, even I find it hard to be crabbit on mornings like this (but I try anyway)







Although I cant just avoid the Who, this is on the noticeboard on the shore-front-

Got to hate stuff that gets in the way of crabbitness!

Thursday was the start of Eastbourne Airbourne, lousy weather this year, grey, overcast & chilly, Autumns definitely on its way ! I can hear the planes going over my place, its a fantastic roar ! makes you realise how it must have sounded during the war when they all took off etc. Its held along the seafront, but I dont go as Im not keen on crowds !

Cool. Can you at least see them from your garden (Im a bit the same with crowds above about 100 folk)

I saw one or two planes, couldnt identify them tho, The sky was so grey & overcast & drizzly that you could only really hear them ! AND the Red Arrows had to change their air display plans cos of the low clouds etc, so not much fun for the 100s that DID turn up. You have to hang around, bored to tears, waiting for anything to fly past at the best of times, & thats when you get sucked into paying out dosh you really havnt got on crap you dont want or need just to pass the time ! & the teas,coffees & food cost a wad, let alone all the shitty merchandise !  

This is why I dont understand why the Enlish didnt evolve proper crabbit- I mean you have all the same crap. But no, you went for disapproval.  

Azriel - same has happened with Southend Airshow, although that was cancelled this year. The flying display used to be great and there were all sorts of things along the seafront for people to do. These days it is overpriced junk food and double glazing salesman. That is why I don't bother with things like that much any more.... go to some proper airshows instead.

Your right Lance !   One of these days I will, Everyone looks forward to the Lancaster Bomber but I dont even know if it even turned up this year ?
Next, theres a Medieval Jousting "do" to look forward to. One near me is at Michelham Priory, its cheaper to get in but no less fun, the atmosphere is great, & the Priory is a soothing,relaxing place to be, hard to leave it ! So much goes on, everyone dresses Medieval style, the stalls are interesting & the people KNOW their trade whether its tanning hides or silver smith etc, & are happy to talk & tell you interesting things, & then the big guys dress up in armour & fights ensue ! Even bring out the horses in their banners & flags ! I luvs it I do !

Rain!!!

Lots and lots of rain!!

Got cars submerged and abandoned, roads closed and still it rains!!!

Yeah, we've got bucket loads of rain also !

Some pampas grass, today-



A woodland path and some accompanying trees, today-







An ornament with light falling on it through blinds (sadly my cheap camera isnt very good so its a bit blurred annoyingly)



A boat, today-



Heading home-



The white building on the right here, which is now flats, used to be a coach house and inn- its still called The Coach Houses-

In the Shadow of the Tyrant!!

Cool pics But palms?

  There have been palms in pics before- here's two pics I put up before from Rothesay-





Its a combination of the gulf stream and rainfall making the west coast of Scotland incredibly lush- and Victorians experimenting with strains.
