Roadworks in Dingwall Road have buses on diversion and Arriva's T167 is seen heading for New Addington on the 64.
Although just a few yards from, and parallel to, Princes Street, George Street in Edinburgh always had a more staid and sober demeanour than its commercialised near neighbour. Onced again showing an assortment of local authority crests, LRT's 359's restrained livery complements the grey stone buildings.
Vehicles of this batch first entered service at about the time of the 1970 Commonwealth Games in Edinburgh, and many were initially used for athletes' transport between the Games Village (which became Edinburgh University's Pollock Halls of Residence) and the games venues. I recall long queues of these buses outside Meadowbank stadium.
Rhododendron x ‘George Tabor’ is a hybrid azalea used in landscaping throughout the southern US. This bush was blooming at the Hilo Airport on the Island of Hawai'i.
The Place Georges Pompidou in front of the museum is noted for the presence of street performers, such as mimes and jugglers. In the spring, miniature carnivals are installed temporarily into the place in front with a wide variety of attractions: bands, caricature and sketch artists, tables set up for evening dining, and even skateboarding competitions.
RIP George. We had to make the devastating decision to put our 7 year old cocker spaniel to sleep yesterday evening. Our hearts are broken.
He was bouncing around in the back garden only two weeks ago. We then noticed that he was limping and after a few days took him to the vets, who thought that he had hurt himself somehow and painkillers were prescribed. A few days later and things got worse, he took to his bed and then refused to eat. Another trip to the vets and a decision to have an x-ray which revealed an abnormality near his humerus / shoulder bone.
I feared the worst but some cell samples were taken and sent off for analysis. We had a quiet weekend at home but he progressively got worse. It was clearly cancer and it had spread to his lungs as he could no longer breathe properly. The painkillers only seemed to take the edge off the pain but no more.
On Monday, we took him back to the vets. The results of the biopsy hadn’t come back and we were assured they would be back on Tuesday. Yesterday they weren’t back but the oncologist said he was certain it was cancer. George was not going to make a miraculous recovery and to see him in such pain, it was pointless to await the outcome of some test which would only prove what we already knew.
He was put to sleep with the OH and KP stroking him. I, being the ultimate coward, was at home crying buckets ... To the end he was trying to wag his tail ...
Meet George my Mom's old family stray she took in when she was a teenager. George seems to be in a holiday mood.

A old CDV from London England. No photographers info on the back. On the front is written a name. I can only make out the first name of George.
This mug shot comes from a police identification book believed to be from the 1930s. It was originally found in a junk shop by a member of the public and subsequently donated to Tyne & Wear Archives & Museums. No information is available to confirm which police force compiled it but evidence suggests it's from the Newcastle upon Tyne area.

We find ourselves in County Tyrone, with a view down a very busy Georges Street, in contrast the modern street views show a street that is a shadow of the image we see from over 100 years ago,
Thanks for all the comments - If you have the time I suggest that you read through them all.

St George, Bradfield St George, Suffolk
The church was open daily before covid, but is locked now. Or, at least, the sign says it is. But as I approached I could see that the south doorway was open and the church security alarm was going off. A van with 'Historic Building Restorations' on the side in the churchyard explained what had happened - the workmen had set it off. Soon after, the churchwarden came to turn it off.
The workmen are obviously working on the church's drainage system, because two 17th Century headstones that had for many years lain flat, partly covered with earth, have been resurrected to clear a path for the drain. They now stand against the churchyard wall. Both appear to have different mason's marks at the base, and the date on the one with a legible inscription appears to be 1675, an early date for such a grand headstone in Suffolk.

I took George for a walk and deliberately went a different way to avoid this muddy puddle. Needless to say the cheeky monkey found it anyway and when I got to him he was happily sitting in it. By that time there was little point in telling him to get out so I thought I'd take a photo instead :-)
Across the road from LIme Street station is the superb St Georges hall. Many seem to walk by it as they head for Albert dock and other attractions. There is a lot to see and admire

Handsome and athletic Georges Marchal (1920-1997) was one of the main lead actors in the French cinema of the 1950s, together with Jean Marais. He starred in several costume dramas and Swashbucklers and later appeared in films of Luis Buñuel.
Georges Marchal was born as Georges Louis Lucot in Nancy, France, in 1920. In Paris, he followed secondary school, and then took classes in ballet and acrobatics. Many odd jobs followed, like courier, docker at the Les Halles market, assistant at the Medrano circus. He enrolled in the course of Ms. Calvi, and was hired at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal for the play 'Permission de détente' (Permission to relax) by Yves Mirande. At 20, he joined the Comédie-Française to play in 'Iphigénie et Psyché' (Iphigenia and Psyche). He soon also played in boulevard comedies. His film career started with the comedy Fausse alerte/The French Way (Jacques de Baroncelli, Bernard Dalban, 1940) starring Josephine Baker, which was only released in 1945. During the Occupation days, he was noted in Lumière d'été/Summer Light (Jean Grémillon, 1943) opposite Madeleine Renaud, Vautrin/Vautrin The Thief (Pierre Billon, 1943) with Michel Simon, and after the war, in Au grand balcon/The Grand Terrace (Henri Decoin, 1949) with Pierre Fresnay, about the heroic pilots who struggled, suffered and often died to carry the mail. He became the typical Jeune Premier of the French post-war cinema and posed as a rival of Jean Marais although he didn’t reach the same level. In 1951, he assumed the title role in Il naufrago del Pacifico/Robinson Crusoe (Jeff Musso, 1951), and for Sacha Guitry, he played the young Louis XIV in the star-studded Si Versailles m'était conté/Affairs of Versailles (Sacha Guitry, 1953). In 1951, he married actress Dany Robin. They were both young, beautiful, adored, and preserved their privacy in a house of Montfort l'Amaury. They made six films together, including La Voyageuse Inattendue/The Unexpected Voyager (Jean Stelli, 1949), based on an old script by Billy Wilder, and the comedy Jupiter (Gilles Grangier, 1952). Georges’ talent as a stuntman did wonders for his parts in costume films and swashbucklers such as Messalina (Carmine Gallone, 1952) with Maria Félix, Teodora, imperatrice di Bisanzio/Theodora, Slave Empress (Riccardo Freda, 1954) with Gianna Maria Cannale, and Les trois mousquetaires/The Three Musketeers (André Hunebelle, 1953) in which he featured as D'Artagnan.
The arrival of the Nouvelle Vague (New Wave) sounded like the death knell for Georges Marchal. He moved to Italy to continue his career. With his muscular body, he was an ideal hero for the Peplum films (the Italian sword and sandal epics). He appeared in a dozen of them, including Nel Segno Di Roma/Sheba and the Gladiator (Guido Brignone - and uncredited Riccardo Freda and Michelangelo Antonioni, 1958) with Anita Ekberg, Le Legioni di Cleopatra/Legions of the Nile (Vittorio Cottafavi, 1959) with Linda Cristal, and Sergio Leone's first solo directorial effort, Il colosso di Rodi/The Colossus of Rhodes (Sergio Leone, 1961) with Rory Calhoun. Marchal was a close friend of Luis Buñuel and also one of his preferred actors. Marchal starred in four of his films: Cela s'appelle l'aurore/That is the Dawn (1955) with Lucia Bosé, La mort en ce jardin/Death in the Garden (1956) with Simone Signoret, Belle de jour/Beauty of the Day (1967) with Catherine Deneuve, and La voie lactee/The Milky Way (1969) with Laurent Terzieff. Other interesting films he appeared in were the anthology film Guerre secrète/The Dirty Game (Terence Young, Christian Jaque, Carlo Lizzani, Werner Klinger, 1965) with Robert Ryan, the Romanian historical epic Dacii/The Dacians (Sergiu Nicolaescu, 1967) with Pierre Brice, Faustine et le bel été/Faustine and the Beautiful Summer (Nina Companeez, 1972) and Les Enfants du placard/The Closet Children (Benoît Jacquot, 1977) with Lou Castel. During the 1970s, he focussed on television and appeared in Quentin Durward (Gilles Grangier, 1971), as Philip IV the Fair in Les Rois maudits/The Accursed Kings (Claude Barma, 1972), Gaston Phébus (Bernard Borderie, 1977), and Les grandes familles/The Great Families (Edouard Molinaro, 1988) with Michel Piccoli. He played a seductive older man in three TV-films based on the legendary Claudine novels by Colette, Claudine à Paris/Claudine in Paris (1978), Claudine en ménage/Pauline Engaged (1978) and Claudine s'en va/Claudine Goes (1978), all starring Marie-Hélène Breillat and directed by Edouard Molinaro. He also played Claude Jade's father in the fine TV Mini-series L'Île aux trente cercueils/The Island of Thirty Coffins (Marcel Cravenne, 1979). He retired in 1989. His last film appearance had been as General Keller in L'Honneur d'un capitaine/A Captain’s Honour (Pierre Schoendoerffer, 1982) about the French army's behaviour in Algeria. Georges Marchal died in 1997 in Maurens, France, following a long illness. He was married with Dany Robin from 1951 till their much publicised divorce in 1969. He remarried in 1983 with Michele Heyberger.
