Looking back over my career in the transport industry I reckon that my time working as a driver for Rennies at Cairneyhill was the most fun. I was exclusively rostered to work route 6 which ran from the bus station in Dunfermline to Blairhall. My first vehicle was ex Tyne & Wear PTE MCW Metropolitan OTN 457R followed by former Brighton Atlantean JFG 361N and finally Atlantean TSD 611S from A1 Service. On days off overtime was regularly available and here is former Brighton JFG 360N about to leave the depot at Cairneyhill with me working a day in on the Abbeyview Circular.

In Flanders fields the poppies blow
Between the crosses, row on row,
That mark our place: and in the sky
The larks still bravely singing fly
Scarce heard amid the guns below.
We are the dead: Short days ago,
We lived, felt dawn, saw sunset glow,
Loved and were loved: and now we lie
In Flanders fields!
Take up our quarrel with the foe
To you, from failing hands, we throw
The torch: be yours to hold it high
If ye break faith with us who die,
We shall not sleep, though poppies grow
In Flanders fields

sorry that i haven't been keeping up with my 365, but i am going to try to do a 100 days of summer project since i'll have more time. i just find myself to be extremely busy during the school year.
i was testing out my new lense and tripod remote today and i think i'm in love. i like this picture. it has an eerie feel to it.
when we first came here we were cold and we were clear
with no colors in our skin we were light and paper thin
and when we first came here we were cold and we were clear
with no colors in our skin till we let the spectrum in
say my name and every color illuminates
we are shining and we will never be afraid again

Charles I of Austria or Charles IV of Hungary (Karl Franz Joseph Ludwig Hubert Georg Otto Marie; 17 August 1887 – 1 April 1922) was, among other titles, the last ruler of the Austro-Hungarian Empire. He was the last Emperor of Austria, the last King of Hungary,[1] and the last monarch of the House of Habsburg-Lorraine. He reigned from 1916 until 1918, when he "renounced participation" in state affairs, but did not abdicate. He spent the remaining years of his life attempting to restore the monarchy until his death in 1922. Following his beatification by the Catholic Church in 2004, he has become commonly known as Blessed Charles of Austria.

Svetozar Borojević von Bojna se za vrijeme Prvoga svjetskog rata istaknuo nizom uspjeha u obrambenom ratovanju. Zbog toga je dobio čin feldmaršala, čime je postao prvi i jedini nositelj tog čina u Austro-Ugarskoj koji nije bio njemačkog podrijetla.

Every time I come back to Russia, people ask me "Why? It's cold and grey here. Spain is much better". True: most of days are cloudy, people can be grumpy and rude (lack of sunlight, I guess), Moscow is overpopulated, dirty and extremly expensive.
How could I don't come back?
Because there is beauty in ugliness too. At least when that ugliness has been your home for seven years. Sometimes even without the ugly part.
Patriots Park in Voronezh: history and description
Voronezh - a significant Russian city, located in the European part of the country in 535 km from the capital. There are many places for cultural rest: museums, theaters, philharmonic society, scenic stages, sports complexes. In good weather, residents are pleased to visit the numerous parks and squares, where they walk along wide alleys and relax in the shade of trees from the city noise and dust. Among all the green oases, the Park of Patriots stands out . Voronezh is proud of him. Read more about this amazing place in the article.
History of creation
How did the Park of Patriots appear on the city map? Voronezh is famous for its glorious military history, for good reason it is called the cradle of the Russian Navy and the birthplace of the Airborne Forces. Even under Peter I the city became the center of shipbuilding, and during the Great Patriotic War it staunchly sustained fierce enemy attacks and in many ways contributed to the victory of the Soviet people over the fascist invaders.
In memory of the heroes of the Second World War - soldiers and civilians - in the 60 years of the last century in Voronezh, the Park of Patriots was laid. He is permeated with the spirit of patriotism and pride for his countrymen.
Local people love and appreciate the patriotic park. Voronezh is known for its green oases, and this park is one of the largest and most visited in the city. At its center is the Eternal Flame, which symbolizes the memory of the heroes of the war who fought in 1941-1945. For their homeland.
A little more to the left of the Eternal Flame stands a granite stele. It is stylized under the Doric order, its top is crowned with the coat of arms of Russia, and the pedestal is adorned with a cartouche, on which are placed the lines from the presidential decree that Voronezh is given the title of "City of Military Glory". A memorial sign was installed in the park in May 2010.
On the perimeter of the Patriots Park (Voronezh) there are military equipment - tanks, guns and antiaircraft guns, a truck with the famous "Katyusha", infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers, even a military helicopter MI-8T.
All the territory is crossed by avenues lined with trees, along the paths there are benches for rest.
Surprisingly, the park very often becomes a platform for wedding photo sessions.
This is one of the main attractions of the Patriots Park in Voronezh. The museum's photo is placed in the article. Under its roof is collected an impressive collection of exhibits dedicated to the period of the Patriotic War and the heroism of soldiers and civilians who defended their land. Also here are exhibited relics and artifacts, which tell of the glorious military past of Russia and the history of the Voronezh region. Draws attention to the gallery of portraits of famous military leaders of antiquity and our time.
The museum-diorama is rightly called "folk", as its funds are replenished by veterans, members of their families, private collectors. Among the exhibits are really rare and valuable specimens.
In the Park of Patriots (Voronezh), often held themed evenings, which are invited veterans of the Second World War, the Afghans. The purpose of these events is to educate the patriotic spirit of youth.
It is necessary to organize festivities on the City Day.
Since 2014 it has become a tradition to hold a family festival in the picnic format in the park. Dads, moms and kids participate in mass entertainment and have a great time.

By age 15 a girl in South Sudan is more likely to have died in childbirth than to have completed secondary education.
50 years of war and poverty has disrupted the learning of entire generations in the world’s newest country. Today 2 in 3 South Sudanese girls do not go to school at all, with girls only half as likely to be literate as boys. Of the girls who do go to school, most drop out at around 10 years old, because of the pressures of home life, domestic work, and early marriage and pregnancy.
At RISING 15 three inspiring South Sudanese women joined a trustee of Friends of Ibba Girls School to take on the question of education in their home country, exploring the challenge of girls education and the practical steps that are being taken along this very hard road to hope.
They showed how changing the lives of girl students supports whole communities in South Sudan, with inspiring examples from Ibba Girls School.
평양술.
Produced in an brewery which was founded during the Japanese occupation in today's Songyo District, Pyongyang, this liquor is made from spring water, rice, and maize. The translation "vodka" is a bit misleading - this is traditional Korean soju. Unlike the artificial stuff sold as soju in South Korea which is made from waste ethanol mixed with water and chemical flavouring, this is real soju distilled from grain with a decent alcohol content of 40 per cent. Despite its rather humble design, this is one of the best drinks made in North Korea and quite difficult to obtain.
Here we see Joni dancing away in the newly "psychedelicized" dance floor in the Savoy Lounge. (To borrow a term from an old Chambers Brothers' song.). . . .
It is to be noted that this dance video was recorded on March 5, 2026, a mere 5 days after trump launched his sneak attack in conjunction with Israel against Iran. This "brief excursion", as trump called it at the time, got off to a great start as the initial assaults killed Iran's chief mullah Khomeini and virtually decapitated almost all of the upper echelon of the Iranian government's leadership. trump and Israel were hell bent on achieving a regime change in Iran by destroying the fanatical ruling Islamic Republic and replacing it with some type of democracy that was favorable to the interests of the United States and accepting of Israel's continuing survival. Not to condone Israel's participation in the attack, and Joni doesn't, but it must at least be recognized that Israel does have a very fundamental and existential problem with Iran, a nation which is dedicated to the proposition that Israel must be wiped off the map. As for the United States, whatever its fears and concerns about Iran might be, and however unacceptable and distressing the occasional and random Iranian-sponsored terrorist attacks may be, none of it amounts to an existential crisis.
To be sure, the USA does share Israel's concerns about Iran's ability to develop any kind of a nuclear weapon. . . However, according to trump, Iran's nuclear program had been completely destroyed by America's precision air and missile strikes last summer. Surely, trump didn't lie about that too, did he?? So one had to wonder what was the urgency for the March 1 sneak attack??
Regardless of the issue of urgency, there was no cause for alarm, as America's king of ignorance assured the nation that the USA had already won "trump war II" in the first hour of the conflict, thanks to a "perfectly executed" war plan; albeit one devoid of strategic concerns. There remained only a routine "clean up operation" that wouldn't take more than three weeks. So trump and his fox news' Weekend Update war-mongering Secretary of Defense Hogshit took multiple victory laps to the bewildered applause of his maga base, only some of whom seemed to recall a trump campaign promise that trump's Amerika would not become engaged in any foreign wars, but I guess if one read the fine print, that promise apparently only applied to the Ukraine's war of aggression against Russia.
Fortunately, Joni is not a graduate of Hillsdale College, that bastion of Christian Nationalism and high brow maga intellectaulism, so Joni wasn't buying any of the spin foaming from the mouth inside the Oval Office. Fully cognizant of the truism that everything trump touches eventually turns to shit, Joni confidently waited for "Operation Epic Fury" to morph into "Operation Epic Futility." It turned out it didn't take long at all before the Iranians, despite being mercilessly bombed by the USA, were able to gain the upper hand by simply shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, thereby cutting off more than 20% of the world's oil imports and more, thereby holding the entire world-wide economy hostage in the process.
The rest has been history as trump keeps issuing pathetic statements about how the Iranians are desperate to make a deal to restore peace, or risk biblical annihilation, when in fact, it is he who is the desperate party, and he keeps hinting that the end of the war he started was/is imminent, while the original three week war drags on without any resolution. The war is now more than three months old with no end in sight. Three years would be a more realistic, if not optimistic, timeline, as the Iranians prefer to play the long game . Recall that the Iranians refused to deal with Jimmy Carter during the Hostage Crisis, but rather waited until Reagan was inaugurated, who promptly gave them what they wanted, and like magic, the hostages were freed. . . It should be noted that the Iranians early on stated a clear preference for negotiating with v.p. vance as opposed to trump. vance, unlike trump, has actually met face to face with Iranian representatives, and Allah only knows what they discussed in private. Perhaps the Iranians know something about a regime change in Washington, D.C, that most Americans don't?? Being first in the line of succession to Amerika's throne, would it be beneath that ambitious hillbilly vance to stab trump in the back by beseeching the cabinet members to invoke the 25th Amendment thereby making himself POTUS??. . . . "Et tu, jd?"
Frankly, none of this comes as a surprise to Joni, nor should it come as a surprise to anyone else who has not been maga brainwashed. trump is completely delusional and totally unhinged, as his recent conduct and statements clearly document. Overlooking the fact that trump should have been serving a life sentence all along for the treachery, he orchestrated on January 6, 2021, he now clearly belongs in a strait jacket in an institution for the criminally insane. If you saw his recent interview this past weekend on "Meet the Press", as well as his recent comments about inflation and the economy, then you know what I mean. . . . In the later stages of World War II, the Nazi generals finally realized that Hitler had become unglued when he started to order them to activate 'reserve" armies and Panzer divisions and move them forward to the front lines. The only problem being that the units in question had already surrendered or had been previously annihilated, or never even existed. trump, in his own way, has come to the same delusional fantasy land that even his most loyal sycophants in the cabinet can't ignore. . . . Okay, maybe "Little Marco" Rubio can, but even he should agree that trump should no longer have access to the nuclear codes!!
It's a truly pathetic situation, but what is it that a woman like Joni is supposed to do?? . . . Well, Joni decided to maintain her sanity and dress up en femme and go out somewhere in Orlando on a Wednesday night. . . . You know, somewhere she "could forget all her troubles and forget all her cares, and go downtown" to the Savoy Lounge!! Joni's loyal followers may recall that Joni had initially planned to visit the Savoy Lounge on the previous Saturday evening, only to walk away when confronted by an overflow crowd and a $15.00 cover charge. Now a Wednesday night might not seem like an ideal night for a girl who likes to dance, but the admission was free, and wonder of wonders, Joni discovered that the house DJ was on duty and the dance floor was open! Even more amazing, Joni discovered that the Savoy Lounge had upgraded and "psychedelized" the dance floor since her last visit nearly a year ago. Not only were there more lights and lazers, but a large screen had been added upon which mind-blowing images were projected that generally defy description, but left one with the sense that they were on an LSD trip, not that Joni would know. The concert footage in this video was very tame compared to some of the other stuff that was projected on other videos that Joni recorded, although it was fun to have a simulated audience while dancing. Unfortunately, those other videos remain on Joni's cell phone, but she hasn't been able to successfully transfer them to her computer yet, but maybe someday. . . .
In any event, while trump and the rest of the world is going to hell in a hand basket, Joni chooses to remain above the fray by enjoying her feminine moments and dancing the night away! Really, what else can a T-Girl do???

Woman with Flowers in Her Hair
Vignette
The twilight hour weaves its tender shroud across the decaying streets as the last remnants of day’s warmth surrender to the cool breath of evening. She stands in the dim glow of lanterns flickering like dying embers, a melancholic and wild vision. Her hair, crowned with roses and entwined vines, blooms defiantly against the weary, withering city that crumbles around her.
Beneath the flowers rests a serene yet haunted face, as if sorrow’s soft whispers have painted shadows beneath her eyes. The world stirs in echoes of forgotten grandeur, and she, like some mythic sentinel of the earth, is at once the bearer of life’s vibrant colour and the solemn mourner of its inevitable decay, a living embodiment of the cycle of life and death.
Here, amidst the ruins, she is both the flower and the tombstone, standing silent as the day’s final breath collapses into night. Yet, there is something eternal in her stillness, as if in her fragile bloom lies the pulse of creation itself, defying the darkened world to wither her bloom.
Description
She emerges in a city where dusk falls like a velvet curtain—an ethereal vision crowned with vivid blooms. The vibrant roses in her hair stand in stark contrast to the decaying urban streets around her, a symbol of beauty and resilience amidst chaos. Capturing the spirit of strength and serenity, this haunting image evokes the timeless balance between nature’s grace and humanity’s ruins. Just like the fleeting twilight, she is a fleeting yet unforgettable presence. 🍂🌹 #UrbanElegance #CityOfContrasts
