Karen and Terry were tonight’s only two council members to show up to a hastily put together meeting in the Tannahill centre to view the latest “Making Of Ferguslie Park” green regeneration project still under consideration.
Along with two labour mps and two council members who presented the project that should spans from the top to the bottom of Ferguslie park, will need allot of funding as well as luck when bids are put forward.
There was also talk about opening up the old burn that once run round the two sides of Craigalea School and under the old railway through the Inkerman fields. This idea was brought forward to reduce the flooding Blackstoun road has seen over the years.
All in all things moved well but as Karen said, Ill be dead before all of this is complete… Let`s hope not 😉 #

"In 1811, the landlord of the “Little Cot” wanted possession. The following year, forced by the end of his tenancy, and not helped by the onset of illness, Bewick reluctantly moved his family south across the Tyne to Mirk or Back(?) Lane, Gateshead, later known as West Street.
The final significant wood engraving of Bewick's life was Waiting for Death, not published until 1832; it shows an old horse reduced to skin and bone, standing bleakly and unsheltered in a rocky field; the prosperity of a country house is clearly seen in the distance.
In November 1828, Bewick died at his home in Gateshead, with his place secure in the history of British art and his name destined to be prominent in every history of his craft. He was buried at the church of St Mary in Ovingham." Newcastle City Guides

Effigy of Cardinal Henry Beaufort (c.1375-1447), half-brother to Henry IV, and Bishop of Winchester (1404-47).
Taken in Winchester Cathedral
This building is Winchester's second cathedral, the first (the Old Minster) was founded 642, becoming part of a monastic settlement in 971, and finally demolished after the consecration of the second cathedral. The second cathedral was begun in 1079 at the instigation of the first Norman Bishop, Walkelin, and was consecrated in 1093.
The original crossing tower collapsed in 1107, the replacement still stands. A retrochoir was added by Godfrey de Lucy in 1189; with the west front and nave rebuilt in the mid-fourteenth century. The monastic buildings were demolished following the Reformation.
From insightful lectures on Japanese pop music, manga, and cosplay to breathtaking live demonstrations of Ikebana and Aikido, the Asia Symposium was a fusion of tradition and modernity.
Hong Kong Transport - Buses | All types
The Hong Kong Bus Culture
The number of buses registered + licenced in Hong Kong seems to fluctuate between 18,000 - 22,000 vehicles and presumably new buses registered are offset by old buses being retired or sold over the border in China. (Source - The Transport Department, Hong Kong Government)
Bus services in Hong Kong have to be amongst the best of all major cities in the World.
All major Hong Kong Bus Companies invest heavily and are using mainly brand new double decker buses and all of them are testing and introducing single and double decker 100% electric buses and also hydrogen powered buses for future use.
☛Major Franchised Bus Companies in Hong Kong
Citybus | Cityflyer ✚ Kowloon Motor Bus | KMB ✚ Long Win Motor Bus | LWB ✚ New Lantao Bus | NLB ✚ HZMB ✚ Note : New World First Bus | NWFB merged with Citybus in 2022
☛Non - Franchised Public Bus Services using double decker and single decker buses (feeder services)
Mass Transit Railway | MTR ✚ DBTS - Lantau Island ✚ Park Island Transport Co. Ltd.
☛All Major Franchised Public Minibus Services (PLB) seating 16 or 19 people
Franchised and Non Franchised Public Light Bus Red Top ✚ Franchised Public Light Bus Green Top
☛Privately Owned Buses
Toyota seems to be the preferred brand for privately owned small and medium sized buses and are used for the following purposes
Public and Private Rehab Buses ✚ Commercial Building Buses ✚ Resident Services Buses ✚ Travel and Tour Buses ✚ Contract Hire ✚ School Buses ✚ Hotel Buses ✚ Misc. Buses for any type of charter | hire too numerous to mention including cross border buses.
One of the largest privately owned companies is Kwoon Chung Bus Company who also offer Non Franchised and Franchised Bus Services through it‛s subsidiary New Lantao Bus
☛Many Hong Kong Government Departments have a fleet of buses but for some reason also contract hire from Private Bus Companies on an “as needed” basis.
Any Government OWNED and operated vehicle in this section (such as Correctional Services Buses, Police Buses etc ) have a licence plate starting AM and any Chinese Military Vehicle has a licence plate starting ZG and naturally some of these vehicles have personalized licence plates which they buy at Government Auction!

The Acropolis of Athens is an ancient citadel located on a rocky outcrop above the city of Athens and contains the remains of several ancient buildings of great architectural and historical significance, the most famous being the Parthenon. The word acropolis is from the Greek words ἄκρον (akron, "highest point, extremity") and πόλις (polis, "city"). The term acropolis is generic and there are many other acropoleis in Greece. During ancient times the Acropolis of Athens was known also more properly as Cecropia, after the legendary serpent-man, Cecrops, the supposed first Athenian king.
Pyramid of the Sun.
The name Pyramid of the Sun comes from the Aztecs, who visited the city of Teotihuacán centuries after it was abandoned; the name given to the pyramid by the Teotihuacanos is unknown. It was constructed in two phases. The first construction stage, around 100 A.D., brought the pyramid to nearly the size it is today. The second round of construction resulted in its completed size of 733 feet (225 meters) across and 246 feet (75 meters) high, making it the third largest pyramid in the world, being slightly smaller than Great Pyramid of Giza (230 meters), but much smaller than the Great Pyramid of Cholula (450 meters). The second phase also saw the construction of an altar atop of the pyramid, which has not survived into modern times.
Fox squirrels on a damp day at the beginning of Winter Term 2023. Taken at the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor on Friday January 6th, 2023. I missed a few of the really tough mange cases on Wednesday, but luckily I saw my patients on Friday. I saw Max Power (by the Michigan League) and there is progress. I saw two very bald squirrels on the Diag - so they are named Hatcher (with the scab) and Harlin. Mange has been very bad this year - practically every squirrel has a patch or so. If there was a red mark on the skin - that meant they were scratching. I think I will make Wednesday my main medicine distribution day - so I do not give any of the squirrels too much Ivermectin. Hopefully we will get these squirrels on their way to healthy living soon. Many squirrels will share a nest and that is how mange will spread. I also saw a red squirrel over by Lorch - used my big lens for that little one! Wishing you joy, health and peace wherever you are.

On board the Royal Caribbean Navigator of the Seas for a short four night cruise from Los Angeles, California.
