I look quite sullen here. No very good reason why :)
If I'd known I was going to play lots of guitar hero this evening I would have tried to make the top half as more like the bottom half. Pink sweater's not very rock and roll.
Unable to hear the yelling of 3 people and a wookiee, Ted starts up one of the Death Star's trash compactors. He can't figure out why it stops a few minutes later.
Curious shop on Coldharbour Road, Bristol called Bijoux Gifts. The sign shows it sells home interiors and dollshouses. Not sure if the interior goods belong in the dollshouses, Maybe some items will be used in the property to let above.

The second generation of the Renault Kangoo models was built from 2007 until 2021. Part of the range is this Compact model. This model is often used by surveillance companies over here. It's seems to be a little too small for the owner of this one, seeing the additional box on the roof...

Locomotive History
Originally D3839 it was built at Crewe works and entered traffic in January 1960, allocated to Carnforth MPD. By 1962 it had transferred to the Birmingham area initially at Monument Lane MPD and then Bescot (where it would remain until withdrawn) when Monument Lane closed. 08672 acquired air brake equipment during a classified repair at Swindon in the spring of 1981. This was its last classified repair and its air brake equipment was not sufficient to avoid withdrawal in 1993. It was broken up by Gwent Demolition at Margam in January 1994.

Vide-grenier du 23 octobre 2022 à Cottance (Loire)
This compact car is strongly related to the Dodge Dart and the Chrysler Valiant.
Available with three different engines, this one has the 2790cc 6 cylinder engine.
Overall production Valiant: 1960-1976 over four generations.
This is the 2nd 1962-1966 generation.
In the back we see the body of a Peugeot 403, hopefully waiting to be restored.
Number seen: 1.

This is something a little different I only know of Willoughby and City of Sydney councils utilising for waste management, being chute systems coupled to waste compactors, which feed steel containers. Not really something you see in the modern buildings for waste disposal, but it was a popular idea in at least these two councils when the high rise residential buildings started going up in the 1990s and 2000s. Pretty simple how it works, residents drop their garbage into the chute from whichever level they’re at, rubbish falls into the hopper and eventually a blade packer will cycle multiple times to clear the material and load the bin. When full, the bin is changed over with one of a number of empty ones so the system can continuously operate. Benefits of this system compared to plastic bins are that you’re working with very durable containers having a long lifespan, fewer bins are required due to the greater holding capacity and a much smaller garbage room is needed. What does suck about these compactor bins is when they’re overloaded, sometimes becoming very difficult to move and an even greater pain in the arse to empty out when there’s a big dense brick of heavy rubbish stuck inside. Although when they’re filled up a rational amount and all equipment is utilised responsibly, these are no problem to service. Both of the pictured compactor rooms belong to buildings built in 2000 and 1999, with two different packer systems which do indeed pack well, sometimes bringing the gross weight of these bins to over a tonne. Given the nature of the job, these 1.5m bins are also fabricated with extra ribbed reinforcement to withstand the packing force and mass of the loads.
Although there aren't any real compact pickups still being sold in America, they were once a huge part of the pickup market, despite the fact that most of them faced a 25% import fee better known as the "chicken tax." in the 1970s, Datsun, Toyota, Mitsubishi, Mazda, and Isuzu all competed for buyers of these small pickups, although not always under their own names.
Seeing the popularity of these vehicles fairly early on and not having anything domestically-produced to compete with them, both Ford and General Motors worked with foreign partners - Mazda and Isuzu, respectively - to source competitors that could be sold as captive imports. Mazda sold trucks under its own name, including the very interesting Rotary Pickup, while Ford sold a variant of their pickup as the Courier. Later, Chrysler would import Mitsubishi pickups as the Plymouth Arrow pickup and Dodge Ram 50.
GM used the Isuzu Faster, a car-based pickup that was essentially the front half of an Isuzu Florian with a pickup bed. This truck debuted in 1972 as the Chevrolet LUV (Light Utility Vehicle), and was quite popular. GM also found a way to price it lower by getting around the "chicken tax" - they imported the trucks with only the cab and chassis installed, and then installed the beds in the United States, resulting in only a 4% import tariff.
The original LUV wasn't a bad truck but the Florian was aging even in 1972, and by 1980 the competition had moved on. So Isuzu redesigned the Faster and it arrived at U.S. Chevrolet dealers in late 1980 in a totally new form. Bang up to date, it was a much better truck, with more flexibility and more rugged underpinnings.
But by the early eighties GM and Ford were both working on small trucks of their own that were just a little bit bigger than the Japanese trucks. These domestically-produced designs would be hugely popular and have long production runs, and the first arrived in the fall of 1981 as the Chevrolet S-10, which debuted as a 1982 model. A year later, the Ford Ranger debuted.
The presence of the S-10 meant that Chevy no longer needed the LUV, and so the model was dropped in 1982. By then, Isuzu had started selling vehicles under it's own label in the United States and the pickup became the Isuzu P'up.
This mk2 LUV is fairly rare, as these trucks were only available for about 18 months. The Isuzu-branded version continued into 1987.
Much later, in 1996, Isuzu would begin selling a variant of the Chevy S-10 (by then in it's second generation, but basically still the same 1982 design under the skin) as the Isuzu Hombre.
The "BIO" added to the diesel badge on this one hints at an obvious and popular (nowadays) conversion. Another period small pickup, a Volkswagen Caddy, can be seen in the background.

abandoned near a construction site, whoever left this poor thing here tried (and failed) to protect it with a tarp.
The Silver Dollar City groundskeepers keep things blooming throughout the year. These Compact Innocence (Nemesia fruticans) blossoms are used all through the park.
Source: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandugo
The Sandugo was a blood compact, performed in the island of Bohol in the Philippines, between the Spanish explorer Miguel López de Legazpi and Datu Sikatuna the chieftain of Bohol on March 16, 1565, to seal their friendship as part of the tribal tradition. This is considered as the first treaty of friendship between the Spaniards and Filipinos. "Sandugo" is a Visayan word which means "one blood".
The Sandugo is depicted in both the provincial flag and the official seal of the government in Bohol. It also features the image of the blood compact. The top of the seal explains the history behind the Sandugo event that occurred in Bohol, the fleet and the location where the Spaniards anchored and the place where the treaty was conducted which was dated on March 16, 1565
