Friday.
And its cold.
And bin day.
So, after coffee, on with the shoes and coat to take the bins up in the pre-dawn light, turning round I saw this sight, and I know I used this for a shot of the day last year, but the house looks so welcoming with the lights on, and steam from the central heating boiler floating to the sky.
Jools didn't do yoga as her wrist still aches, but is getting better, and on top of that the cold/cough we have been suffering seem to have taken up squatters rights on our chests, so we bark through the night.
That being said, I am feeling better, and Jools noticed my sense of humour has returned, though not sure if that is a good thing or not.
And so to work, with the unusual situation of being up to date, travel expenses submitted and approved, so just mails to monitor and arses to kick in a couple of meetings.
The morning slips by quickly, and with an afternoon of chores to do, I wrap up, go up for a shower and shave ready to head off into the bright lights of Dover once Jools had returned.
I had new glasses to pick up, and then a dental inspection. So, two hours in town, maybe with time to do something else or have a pint.
I parked up and walked to Vision Express, my glasses were ready and fitted after some adjustments.
I came out of the shop and had sixty five minutes to kill.
I walked past one barbers with an empty chair, pondered whether to go back, then came across another, so went in and told the guy what I wanted.
It was a Turkish place, not much different other than they use wadding, immersed in some spirit to literally burn the fluff and hairs from customer's ears.
There is no warning of this, just dipping this wadding, setting it alight, then wave near the side of your face and the room fills with the smell of burnt hairs.
It was OK and I had no burns, so they must know what they're doing, but probably their insurance company doesn't know.
I walked back to the car as the sun sets, the castle is lit in a warm golden light, so I take a shot from the car park and then again looking up Castle Street.
Then up the stairs to the torture chamber to the dentist.
In fact, he's a brilliant dentist, and is always interested in our adventures, so I told him about our visit to the tombs of Henry II and Richard the Lionheart.
Despite going against what Pam Ayres advised, I have good teeth, jammed in so there is little room for food to get caught, so I have no fillings once again.
I say thanks and leave, find Jools waiting in the car, so I climb in and drive us back home up Jubilee Way as dusk fell.
Skater on a bright cold Saturday morning on Norrviken ("North Lake") near Stockholm. A lap around is about 21 kilometers. This is great exercise. The ice appeared about as thick as big sofa cushion.
The following 14 photos—10 actually inside the exhibit and four more around the hotel prior to me retrieving my DSLR—were taken by Jeff with his camera. I chose not to bring mine in, not knowing how 9° air would affect it. I would have loved lots more photos and we had plenty of opportunities to take them. As I feared, though, the cold pretty much zapped the life out of Jeff's batteries. We were lucky to squeeze off the shots we got.
The Minot, N.D., Civil Defense Office had a supply of emergency commode plastic bags and deodorizer for the use of citizens of the city. This page contains the instructions for using the plastic bags and gives sound advice as to conserving toilet paper.
The Cold River in northwestern Massachusetts travels through the Mohawk Trail State Forest whose 6,457 acres along with the adjoining 10,500 acre Savoy State Forest, form the largest tract of open space in western Massachusetts. It is considered one of the most scenic woodland areas of the state. In the woods here, you can find a 488 year old Eastern Hemlock. The Cold River area is one of four areas in Massachusetts that has old growth forests with trees over 400 years old.
For part of its way, the Cold River runs along side Route 2, which is also known as the Mohawk Trail. The road follows, for much of its way, a much traveled old Native American footpath across the Berkshire Mountains, which connected the Atlantic tribes with those in upstate New York, which was the home of the Mohawk Indians, the easternmost of the five Iroquois nations. Long before white men came to this area, the trail was used by at least five Native American tribes for trade, hunting, social interactions, and war between various tribes. The Trail's name is derived from both branches of the Mohawk race that traversed its length, one branch using it in its raids against other Indians, and the other for attacks with the French upon the English. The Mohawks had a fierce reputation as warriors, and were the first tribe to acquire firearms from the Dutch traders coming up the Hudson River. Other tribes had little chance against the armed Mohawks, and by 1626, they were the largest, and most powerful tribe of the Iroquois nation, almost wiping out some of the other tribes. However, because of the close contact with the Europeans, they also suffered a number of epidemics from smallpox, measles, and other diseases which they had no immunity against. In a ten year period, they lost two-thirds of their tribe to disease.
The trail was later used by missionaries, hunters, traders, and soon turned into a regular wagon and stagecoach route. It continues on into New York state following the Mohawk River, and was the sole route through the Appalachians for the thousands of settlers making their way from the Atlantic coast to what was then, the frontiers of the Midwest.
In 1914, the Mohawk Trail, was designated the first scenic road in New England.
It was a cold day in...Eugene, Oregon when the Devils came to play the Ducks in a 3 game tilt at beautiful PK Park!
Took a short walk when the sun was setting. The weather is windy and cold. -13 degrees and wind makes it unpleasant to be outdoors.

Cold Knap beach, stretches for miles away to the west of Barry, and is a popular alternative to the noise and bustle of Barry Island.
We awoke to a still day that somehow just looked cold. There is a sort of paleness in the light as the weather gets colder. I checked the thermometer, minus 23°C. That’s cold, not spectacularly cold but pretty chilly.
(Blippers 300 km north of here, and in Finland, have reported temperatures under -30° C - that really is cold!)
We dressed in layers, with one more layer than yesterday, and went off for our walk. The air is very dry, and with no wind and the sun shining it felt fine, though we took it easy going up the hill because breathing deeply didn’t feel too good.
The new snow makes the world very beautiful and there is more on the way!
So, I have been slacking hardcore on updating my Flickr.
My laptop's hard drive crashed the other night. I'm hoping that my cousin can restore all of my files because I have more than five months worth of photographs that I hadn't transfered over to my external drive yet. And a lot of them were some of my favourite photographs that I've taken. I'll be really bummed if they're gone forever.
By the way, this is a new edit of an older photo because I'm desperate to edit something! Plus, my hair is no longer this colour! I need to take some photos of my new ginger locks!
A chilly scene by the Swansea Marina as First Cymru's 44579 sits empty at the final bus stop before turning around and heading back for the city bus station.
This bus was in its final few days in South Wales at the time of the photo, with it moving over to Worcestershire not long after.
Route 7 runs eight times a day Mon-Sat between 10am and 5pm, and it takes just 15 minutes to complete before turning back to the bus station.
Operator: First Cymru

Cold Porcelain/ porcelana fria creation made this morning from a batch knocked up the other day. Wow I love this stuff.
Tough Mudder Austin 2011
The Electroshock Therapy hurt but it only lasted a few seconds. Swimming in the lake and diving under the barrels took 60 times longer and the hurt didn't go away until you got running and warmed back up. I would say the water was much tougher than the Shock Therapy.
But not cold enough for a picture.
Anyways, this was shot right after the Asleigh Stake promos. By the way, keep an eye out. Asleigh Stake is a brand new band starring the amazing Erik Kirk, Kyle Paul Turner, Ej Carr, and yours truly :)
Promos should be up soon, so keep Kirk on your RSS! :)
Have a grand New Years, Lads~
