I went shopping today for red pipe cleaners and yellow felt. Any guesses which Disney character we might be creating for Maddie's school mufti day?

In a lovely location for the work conference we're running this week, just outside of Paris in Gressy.
I seem to possess quite a lot of photos of seals from some reason. This one is from the seal sanctuary in Gweek. Seals are very dull creatures, and not even amazingly cute in adult form, but I do like this abstracty photo taken through the curved underwater viewing window.
It says something about how exciting seals really are when the most interesting things at a seal sanctuary are the penguins and the otters.
ODC-2 "Humanity"
When I saw the challenge for today, I knew immediatly what I was going to do! I just wasn't sure how to depict it without people in the photos. I got a lot of great shots; but most had a human in them. Here is a cropped, condensed version of the ceremony....
Today was the groundbreaking for the new Farmington Regional Animal Shelter! I was to be there
regardless of the topic for today. This is a project near and dear to my heart. This new, larger and modern facility will enable us to keep animals longer; therefore increasing their chances for adoption. There is also an adjacent low cost spay/neuter facility, and a facility for larger animals, and exotic pets. Hopefully this will get us close to ZERO kill!
PLEASE spay/neuter your pets, and adopt from a shelter or rescue rather than support puppy/cat mills!!!

It's been so long since I posted anything to Flickr, sorry! I've got sucked into blogging. This is a close-up of the sole landmark @ Stanpit Marsh: a rusty old boat.
If you drop by my blog tomorrow (Sunday), I'll be hosting a meme called Sunday Self, which is encouraging bloggers to post something about themselves on a Sunday. However I'm not limiting it to bloggers, so if you'd like to link to something on Flickr, please do. It can be a selfie if you like.
The post with linky list will be posted at midnight GMT.
Our Daily Challenge ~ "Come on In!!"
You all would be proud of me! I only "caught" my finger once setting this up!
Maddie and Ankeeta made some homemade Fluffy Slime, out of baking soda, shaving cream, food colour, contact lens solution and glue!
Since I gave this teapot to Richard for his birthday two weeks ago, we have consumed our body weight in Gunpowder Green tea from Fortnum & Mason.
Saw the light striking the 400k volt lines as I travelled past these pylons which are on the outskirts of our village. They have been with us since 1971 carrying electricity from the Wylfa Nuclear Power Station to the Pentir Sub Station before being fed into the National Grid. News this week is that National Grid want to push on with a complete new set of pylons from the new Wylfa station which will be built and due to be online by about 2022 if I understand correctly. There was a great deal of objection to new pylons with many objectors demanding that the new supply be under grounded due to the environmental impact they have. The additional cost of under grounding was substantial and believed to be in the region of five times overhead. Stand by for protests and the like when the time comes for erection!! (of the pylons that is). Unfortunately we live in such a power hungry World that we cannot live without the power that they carry.

Well, the weather outside is frightful, (80% chance of *something*
(probably snow) and B&W Saturday didn't appeal to me. So I got out my favorite 2 things... The EF 100mm Macro Lens, and my 4" crystal ball. Then went looking for props. This is what happened!
The new Caernarfon Station seen under construction on 14th May 2018 in Caernarfon on St Helen's Road.
We went down to have a look at the old Caernarfon Station on the Welsh Highland Railway.
Unfortunately on the day of our visit (14th May 2018) there was no trains running that day!
The new station is close to the car park that we parked in near Caernarfon Castle.
Caernarfon's train station is taking shape with new planned opening date. The new station is due to be finished sometime in summer 2018.
Didn't look quite finished when I saw it!
It replaces a temporary Caernarfon Station that opened in 1997

Caernarfon Castle (Welsh: Castell Caernarfon), often anglicized as Carnarvon Castle, is a medieval fortress in Caernarfon, Gwynedd, north-west Wales cared for by Cadw, the Welsh Government's historic environment service. There was a motte-and-bailey castle in the town of Caernarfon from the late 11th century until 1283 when King Edward I of England began replacing it with the current stone structure. The Edwardian town and castle acted as the administrative centre of north Wales and as a result the defences were built on a grand scale. There was a deliberate link with Caernarfon's Roman past and the Roman fort of Segontium is nearby.
While the castle was under construction, town walls were built around Caernarfon. The work cost between £20,000 and £25,000 from the start until the end of work in 1330. Despite Caernarfon Castle's external appearance of being mostly complete, the interior buildings no longer survive and many of the building plans were never finished. The town and castle were sacked in 1294 when Madog ap Llywelyn led a rebellion against the English. Caernarfon was recaptured the following year. During the Glyndŵr Rising of 1400–1415, the castle was besieged. When the Tudor dynasty ascended to the English throne in 1485, tensions between the Welsh and English began to diminish and castles were considered less important. As a result, Caernarfon Castle was allowed to fall into a state of disrepair. Despite its dilapidated condition, during the English Civil War Caernarfon Castle was held by Royalists, and was besieged three times by Parliamentarian forces. This was the last time the castle was used in war. Caernarfon Castle was neglected until the 19th century when the state funded repairs. In 1911, Caernarfon Castle was used for the investiture of the Prince of Wales, and again in 1969. It is part of the World Heritage Site "Castles and Town Walls of King Edward in Gwynedd".

Glad it's Friday. This pretty much sums up what is going on here tonight! I have no clue if this is a good wine. It was given to us. I see it's from Australia. I'll let you know CB!

Competition Act 1998 my a**e.
For the record - much as I am loath to agree* with T***o or Mor***ons about anything, I don't support the plan either, but talk about the pot stereotyping the kettle! On the other hand I can't get too het-up about the specifics of the supermarket, which might at least give the other two a well-deserved kick where it hurts. I would say "and start (with a prevailing tailwind) a trend towards favourable conditions for smaller businesses", but in my heart I fear it is probably too late for that.
* Regular viewers may be entertaining concerns about whether I am starting to make a habit of endorsing my ideaological opposites. Don't worry, there is no Damascus trip planned.

Beware of the dog...drool on camera equipment! I don't know why animals find lenses so tasty!
Wrexham Lager is a brewery in Wrexham, north-east Wales, that has produced alcoholic drink for more than 120 years. It was founded in 1882 by German immigrants Ivan Levinstein and Otto Isler, who wanted to recreate the lager taste that they missed from home.
A new hi-tech brewery opened in 2011 in the heart of Wrexham, after the original closed in 2000. The original brewery was demolished between 2002 and 2003. This is the only the historic building in which brewing started which still remains because of its listed status (now offices).

The lager is still brewed at a micro brewery in the town after former MP for Clwyd South Martyn Jones bought the rights for the beverage from Carlsberg for £1.

STAFF at a train station had a shock when a man turned up and demanded to buy a ticket – for his pony.
And despite being told by Wrexham General’s ticket office worker that horses were not allowed on the train, he bundled the creature into a lift and led it onto the platform.
When the train arrived, the man attempted to board it with his four-legged friend, but was stopped by a concerned conductor.
An anonymous source told the Daily Post: “The man took the pony into the ticket office and asked for a ticket. He was refused and told that no horses were allowed on the train.
“But he said ‘I know the law’ and walked away. He got into a lift with the horse and walked it across the bridge and onto a platform.
“He waited for the train to arrive and then got on himself and was in the process of trying to pull the pony on after him when the conductor stopped him.
“Staff couldn’t believe it – most people thought it was a wind-up.”
The man is believed to have left the station – with the pony in tow – after a brief argument.

It was interesting to look at all the herbs but sad to see dried seahorses and shark fins. And yes, they did tell me to stop taking photos.

One interesting aspect of the raids on Merseyside during the war was the initial reluctance of even the local press to report what was happening to the city in detail. This example of a newspaper cutting comes from the Liverpool Daily Post of the 18th September 1940.
It talks about a recent raid on a "North Western coastal town" but provides very few clues as to where this might be, or full extent of the horror visited on the town that night. Some clues can be gained from reading the article however, we know that the raid took place on the 17th, on a day when three seperate raids took place, one of which must have occurred in the evening but whilst it was still light, which broadly speaking matches what we know about the raids on Liverpool for that date.
Further confirmation comes from the research of John Hughes in his excellent book "Port in a Storm" which deals with Liverpool during the May Blitz in great detail. He states that the city was often referred to by that vague title.
As John points out, this was partly because the press had been issued a Whitehall communique instructing them to not provide specific details that could be helpful to the enemy in assessing the impact of their raids. Part of this was an instruction to supress the names of towns that were attacked, but specifically stated that larger cities such as London and Liverpool were to be excluded from this rule.
By late September this problem had been corrected and Liverpool began to be mentioned regularly by name in both the national and local press, but for some the damage had already been done. Other less prominent targets such as Birkenhead, Wallasey and Crosby were not mentioned by name however.
This blackout of names, whether it be temporary in the case of Liverpool, or permanent in the case of the surrounding towns caused some resentment in the area. People were frustrated that their resilience was not being recognised. The press seemed full of articles about how Londoners could "take it" and their bravery, but sadly lacking in similar stories about places and people they knew.
It did not help either that press censorship and innacurate casualty estimates meant that some raids were reported with terms such as "but casualties were reported as remarkably light" when locals knew full well that they were not. That particular quote for example followed the raid of the 28th/29th November 1940, which witnessed what Churchill described as "the worst single incident of the entire war".
Coupled with the fact that the raids on Merseyside did not feature in any of the cinema newsreels of the time (unlike Manchester or Coventry) it left many locals feeling frustrated and ignored, a feeling that persisted after the war. It eventually transofrmed itself into a myth that the city was never mentioned by name in the press at the time. As we have seen this is untrue, but for the people of the towns I covered in my second book - Birkenhead, Wallasey, Bootle and Crosby it was all to painfully correct.
I went for a run around the lake by our new house, but then managed to hurt my back lifting something. Bad timing for our move tomorrow.
