Verse:
Come closer let me show you how it works,
Come on and hurry up but don't get nervous,
I will not charge you up, and consider it a free service,
look closely because this is what they call it skill,
Pure talent I never asked to pay bills,
We started from the bottom, and now we are up the hill,
I don't begin with a scratch, all I do is build,
Look again, you will see my home address,
Talent Street, Bldg. 96 Full blessed,
Wasn't born with and it didn't come with a package of success,
Don't be tried to say what you want to express,
Many things in my life will make sleep depressed,
But I am still standing here cashing checks,
It's always a good day out watching the coaches arrive at Wembley, especially when the less regular teams from outside the London area play.
If you haven't been since Covid then you'll be in for a shock! The new Pink and Green dedicated coach parks are almost entirely undercover which makes photography a challenge. Nevertheless, decent shots can still be obtained with good planning.
Here's a reminder of some of the visitors to Wembley Stadium seen in 2022.
Seen here in Leeds working route 310 for National Express.
Skill are now running 12 coaches on the network

A remarkable survivor on the NEC car park shuttle services, this Dart is rapidly approaching 20 years old!!
As we'd parked in the East car park zone, we made use of this bus after the show, which was a first for me, I've never sampled a dual door Dart before!!

Here’s the same location at Chilwell Olympia again, just stood at the roadside rather than on the bridge. On this occasion I’d gone for the CT4N Omnidekka again and missed it, but as a consolation I got a Levante in Skills livery, which I’d only previously seen as a National Express.

Playing around with the new set of skills I recently picked up using with Photoshop on an image that has a brother and sister hanging around at this site as well, one of which made front page explore a year ago… but it looked like a watercolor painting to me, and that bugged me to no end. That said, I took some of the new tricks I've learned and tried them out and think I have achieved a far more realistic representation of what I saw.
This was the last shot I took before heading back to my car to pick up a stronger magnification lens, but I didn't realize what is plainly seen here… the twister was beginning to rope out. This was to be my last view of the funnel before faded into nothingness below the mothership cloud mass.

The intention of the day wasn’t to go finding different coaches belonging to Skills, yet I came away with three! They were all different types and all different colours too; when I was at the A52 in Bramcote executive black liveried SIL 7948 came by, apparently off to the Cavern Club, Liverpool and Mersey Ferry?!

Beyond skill, the surfer's focus is apparent as he negotiates the breaking wave. Look at his hand. The cold Pacific water at Huntington Beach, California has drained much of the color from it.
No, I'm not in the water. The photo was taken from the pier at 200 mm and cropped heavily.

Mark’s pipetting skills are through the roof! Well not literally. It’s crazy how being an astronaut makes you learn and do so many different things. Mark was working on NASA's Celestial immunity experiment, that requires astronauts to be adept at the laboratory skills... in microgravity! The experiment designers do everything they can to make it as easy as possible as we are not experienced lab workers, but we do what is required, and this is why we spend so much time training for our flights.
Les compétences de Mark avec une pipette sont impressionnantes. Je suis toujours étonné de voir la quantité de choses qu'on apprend à faire quand on devient astronaute : de nouvelles langues, de la mécanique, des techniques de laboratoire, comment utiliser un appareil photo, à piloter des vaisseaux spatiaux, à lancer des nanosatellites... mais ça explique pourquoi notre formation est si longue !
