♫ DLR Band - Weekend With The Babysitter ♫
When you wish upon a star
Well, wish no more 'cause here I are
So you think that I got no respect
She's a no limits kind of creature
So let's hope that mom and daddy
Are at a triple feature
Suddenly occurs to me
Maybe I need therapy, yeah
'Cause I'm also hot for teacher
Telephone
Her voice is steady she knows
Little Elvis is combat ready
All right
Weekend with the babysitter
Weekend with the babysitter
I found this statue outside a school and it reminds me of the teacher from Pink Floyds "The wall". I simply could not resist taking a picture of it.
Taken with Yashica Minister D and Ilford Pan f Plus 50 at ISO 25. Developed in Fomadon Excel.
Not the best of shot, was a bit rushed for time, need to go back here with a stand and the proper gear, including gloves, it was freezing!
Legendary Devon crabber Excel DH17 in Dartmouth Harbour, Devon on 6th June 2023. Built by J Hinks & Son of Appledore in North Devon, construction of the Excel was one of the fastest on record for a vessel of its size. The wooden fishing boat was launched in 1971 to take part in a lobster boom.
Just giving a little life-sign, this is done in Excel and then just used the aquarell-filter in Photoshop ^^
I'm very bussy this week, gonna reply on comments and stuff next week.
Shortly before withdrawal from the fleet, Express Motors Optare Excel EXI 790 exits Caernarfon on route 88 to Llanberis via Llanrug & Cwm-y-Glo. As X964 BPA this bus was new to Reading Buses where it was numbered 964.
Having climbed out of the Minnesota River valley, our eastbound train on the Minnesota Prairie Line continues to trundle along east of Franklin. The large equipment on the left is evidence of some recent maintenance work on the Excel Energy transmission lines overhead.
It's our 19th anniversary today and Terry bought me some flowers and this lovely rose was among them :)
This is a photograph of the ExCel center by the Royal Victoria Docks in Newham, London. It is, apparently, the only international convention center in London.
I waited for quite a while before getting this shot without anyone in it. Taken during my favourite blue hour.

Developed during World War II for the U.S. Navy, the Douglas AD Skyraider almost disappeared before having the chance to excel during the Vietnam War, where the aircraft proved well suited for close air support (CAS) to ground forces.
Nevertheless support of search and rescue (SAR) missions had been the Skyraider’s crowning achievement during the conflict. In fact it became dramatically apparent early in the war that lone helicopters were too vulnerable to conduct combat search and rescue (CSAR) missions. For this reason in 1965 a SAR task force decided that rescue helicopters would work in pairs, and that Skyraiders would provide rescue escort.
The callsign “Sandy” was founded in late 1965 by Capt. J.W. “Doc” George during an A-1 replacement flight to one of the several A-1 groups that rotated through Udorn. Actually it was George’s Bine Hoa departure callsign. After having landed at Udorn he was asked what call sign he would like to use while there. George answer was “Sandy.” Not only the callsign was retained by George’s replacement, but also became the callsign of any Skyraider assigned the SAR mission.
This Skyraider was built in California in 1951 with the c/n 7802 and after the US Navy serial number 127002.
In 1961, he was first assigned to the 3/20 "Oranie" Fighter Squadron with the callsign 20-FP then to the 1/21 Support Aircraft Squadron with the callsign 21-LN and finally to EAA 2/21 “Oranie” with callsign 21-ZH.

Seen at AMRTM, Aldridge is preserved former West Midlands Optare Excel S693YOL.
This vehicle spent its entire service life based at Wolverhmapton's Park Lane garage.
I always had a soft spot for these 2+2 coupés that lived in the shadow of the Esprit. Sold from 1982 to 1992, eventually dropping the 'Eclat' name, all of them had carburettor fed engines. 2.0 and then 2.2 litres iirc.
Optare built over 600 examples of the Excel between 1995 and 2004 (inc), sandwiched between the Sigma on 'step entrance' Dennis Lance chassis and the Tempo.
Reading Buses was a major customer, taking 48 (numbered 901-45 & 961-3) between 1997 and 2000, split over several batches. The first 45 were 11.5m examples, whilst the final three were 11.8m. When the batch of seven delivered in Autumn 1998 (925-31) came up for withdrawal and sale in late 2009, five found their way to South Wales operators. New Adventure Travel purchased S925/9/31 LBL and South Wales Transport received S926/30 LBL.
Those with New Adventure Travel entered service in early 2010 at Pontypridd depot on Service 102 (Glyncoch-Pontypridd-Rhydyfelin), for which they received branding, though lasted for less than two years.
S929 LBL was one of several vehicles in the fleet to carry registration H2 KFJ over time, as illustrated in this November 2010 shot taken on Bridge Street in the town centre when heading for Rhydyfelin. It would seem that she ended her days with the company.
