Day 145 of 365
This one was taken mainly for Leslie (aka dogfaceboy). She has, on several occasions, picked on my choice of day to day "drinkin" beer (along with several others who apparently don't have an appreciation for the cheaper things in life). In order to protect myself I had to place my "go to drinkin" beer in Witness Protection. Just for safety's sake.
Tee hee hee!

River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the last week of September 2012, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed.
In preparation for the river-bank strengthening/protection along this stretch of the river, a 2nd channel was created -- with the intention of diverting the river.
Having endured a similar flooding only days earlier, another heavy fall of rain caused the channels to fill up again.
It meant starting all over again - draining this road/bank side channel, cutting a release channel near the bridge to release the volume, and activating pumps to assist with the repeated drainage.
Matters were never helped by the overflow pipe which siphoned run-off from the adjacent motorway!
Always quite amazing to see how water levels could drain away within a few days.
The question would always be -- how much work could be completed before the (inevitable) next run of water?
As we can see, one or two day's intense rain could produce rapid flooding of channels, swamping on-going works, and causing temporary vehicle access paths to have to be repaired.
And these access ramps were proving difficult to navigate for the fully-laden dumpers/trucks.
The A250 Volvo truck are now bringing soil down to the riverside, to continue the repair work on the river bank/shelf.
One hell of a wet and messy place to be working, especially for the guys on foot.
River Dargle Flood Defence Scheme.
These images were taken during the second week of July 2013, tracking the on-going river bank alterations and excavation of the river bed.
Activity in this Slang area has been drastically curtailed in recent months.
Minimal landscaping work on the riverbank top area.
What work being carried on seemed to involve endless shifting, and 'turning' of top spoil. With a couple of dry days, the top level would quickly dry out. It would be necessary to use a tractor/sprayer to siphon water from the river, and 'dampen down' the dust-laden streets, and site access ramps.
The protection work continues along the river bank, beyond the temporary access bridge. The guys were involved also in the creation of a 'debris entrapment' pit adjacent to this section.

For years they protected us, and now they have to be protected.
Holding them together is the secret. And there will be a favourite whom you will hide from everybody, hoping that he/she will be with you always,............. not realising the fact they will be first one to be forgotten.
So, I bought a large 12x12' tent/ sun cover to put under the tree where I work and relax, don't want any surprises of snakes dangling from the tree branches

I took this a couple of weeks ago whilst I was waiting for the people I needed to photograph to turn up.
I was watching 'V for Vendetta' last night, and it reminded me of this pic. It reflects how in real life every erosion of civil liberty comes with the caveat "this is for your protection".
Since Dunblane schools have been turned into virtual fortresses during the day. It's all a bit daft as almost all schools are wide open for half an hour at the start and end of each day.
I see the need for it, but I'm not sure I like it.
