SKILLS OF NOTTINGHAM
View allAll Photos Tagged Skills,
So this rocky headland at Terrigal, NSW is known as the Skillion. A skillion is by definition a towering rocky headline overlooking the ocean. Pretty well sums it up! It also doubles as a piece of training equipment judging by all the groups of youngsters running up and down it early in the morning. Crazies!
I hope everyone has an awesome Friday night & wonderful weekend 👋😀
Cheers
These guys who surf are amazingly skillful, at times I wonder how they stay upright for so long....they bring great entertainment to the beachgoers with their tricks and enjoyment of the sport....never a bored moment while they're on the ocean
Popped over to the The Skillion last week, a long time favourite spot of mine. It's a great place photography-wise. There is the Skillion itself you can see here. There are rockshelves to the north and south underneath. I've visited all of these many times over the years for taking photos at sunrise. There are surf beaches, protected harbours, pubs, cafes - a great seaside village vibe. We may have taken advantage of the pub for a delicious seafood gnocchi and cold beer afterwards. Several. Beers, not seafood gnocchis ;)
The Skillion itself is about 150m high and you can often spot sports teams, boot campers, and random masochists running up and down in an efort to kill themselves. It has some geologial signifigance beyond my understanding involving sedimentary rock, Middle Triassic thingies and Hawkesbury Sandstone.
So why we are on deep and meaningful thoughts - the hardness of the butter is proportional to the softness of the bread. Or these days I guess it's more like - the hardness of the olive oil spread is proportional to the softness of the eggplant discs.
Hope everyone is having a great week !

““Now what ?" asked the man in black.
"We face each other as intended," Knives said. "No tricks, no weapons, skill against skill alone."
"You mean you'll put down your Kunai and I'll put down my sword and we'll try to kill each other like civilized people, is that it?””

New year resolution: to clarify my vision and upgrade my PS skills
Yes, I changed the BG of the shot above.
My son. He kinda looks like me, sometimes ;-P
I should start uploading differently, original is much sharper...
I like the outtake below in comments too, but it does not completely express the resolution i.e. it gained a 2nd place. Anyhow, I adore those colours.
Since I couldn't resist, I then combined both to get the result in the 2nd comment and I have a feeling the last one will end up on his FB as the new profile pic ;-)
Day 001
1/1/11
Autumn is very much on the horizon now, and with it many changes occur - a new season, falling leaves and in this case, a new operator for the Medilink!
Skills have always had a strong presence in the Nottingham area's private hire and contract work so operating an "open doors" service, so to speak, is a new venture for this operator.
Taking over from previous operator CT4N, Skills have invested in a new fleet of diesel Enviro 400 MMC double deckers for the route. There are 6 of these machines, kitted out to a high specification, branded for the route in the rather attractive Skills emerald livery.
Two of these vehicles were delivered just in time for the start of the new contract on the 1st of September and as such, are registered on 75 plates - brand new, as seen here!
The other 4 have been in the fleet a little longer, being delivered in May 2025 as part of a batch of six 25 plates. The other pair in this batch are to be used on Skills other contracts, such as the extensive Bilborough College "R" series bus network and the usual private hires.
While a slight reduction in frequency from 5 to 4 buses an hour has taken place, the arrival of these new double deckers will mean an overall increase in capacity from the tired K9URs allocated under CT4N. I'm sure the new timing and fleet will help improve the reliability of this route, which passengers and drivers alike are bound to appreciate!
I haven't been taking pictures for a while as life always goes first, but I never stop learning new things and sharpening my skills. I still have to go through a few months of backlog just to make sure my profile is up to date. Hopefully I will have some time soon and I'll keep posting more.
Thanks for following me!.
Thank you all for your appreciation.

Teh Tarik or “pulled tea” is a strong, hot tea mixed with sweet and creamy condensed milk. It is made by repeatedly pouring and pulling the tea between two mugs until it becomes rich, smooth, and frothy.
This Medilink isn’t even an actual Medilink. At least two of the YX25s remain in standard Skills livery and can be differentiated by their higher spec with tinted windows and additional tree deflector on the offside... although OGN has already managed to lose its nearside one. I imagine these are the Medilink ‘spares’, that when not required can be used alongside the 17 plate MMC as regular double deck coaches.
OGO is the other high-spec YX25, although it isn’t on the ticket machine list on Bustimes, so does it actually get used on the Medilink? Also I haven’t seen the 17 plate on Bustimes either but surely it’s cleared to be used on the route? Well with all these MMCs at their disposal now, that’s pretty much dashed my hopes of Skills putting one of their ex-Lothian Presidents on it as a spare.
Being the “fancy” Medilink with tinted windows, YX25 OGN passes QMC Island with a Queens Drive-bound journey, about to call into QMC and perform a lap of the grounds, on 28.11.25

The raindrops were trying had to fall. I had to full in tow hours between scans to lit the Radiation Dye go around my body. They were looking for a brake in my leg..they did find a creak in my lower femur. I was in plaster for six weeks so no more walking around the city for a while.

Sitges, Garraf, Barcelona (Spain).
49 International Barcelona-Sitges Vintage Car Rally
The international Rally of vintage cars of Barcelona-Sitges, organized by Fomento de Turismo de Sitges uninterruptedly from year 1958, is sponsored at the present time by Audi and allows to see pieces of authentic museum in operation (previous to 1924) and with its passengers dressed in the clothing of the years in which the vehicle was created.
With the passage of the years the event has been rooting and at the moment it is considered as one of most traditional at European level. According to the organizing sources it would be the second more important encounter of vintage cars in Europe behind a classic one like London-Brighton.
Producing cars since late 1898, the Renault corporation was founded in 1899 as Société Renault Frères by Louis Renault, his brothers Marcel and Fernand, and his friend Thomas Evert. Louis was a bright, aspiring young engineer who had already designed and built several models before teaming up with his brothers, who had honed their business skills working for their father's textiles firm. While Louis handled design and production, Marcel and Fernand handled company management.
The first Renault car, the Renault Voiturette 1CV was sold to a friend of Louis' father after giving him a test ride on December 24, 1898. The client was so impressed with the way the tiny car ran and how it climbed the streets that he bought it.
The brothers immediately recognized the publicity that could be obtained for their vehicles by participation in motor racing and Renault made itself known through achieving instant success in the first city-to-city races held in Switzerland, resulting in rapid expansion for the company. Both Louis and Marcel Renault raced company vehicles, but Marcel was killed in an accident during the 1903 Paris-Madrid race. Although Louis Renault never raced again, his company remained very involved, including their Renault AK 90CV winning the first ever Grand Prix motor racing event in 1906. Louis was to take full control of the company as the only remaining brother in 1906 when Fernand retired for health reasons.
The Renault reputation for innovation was fostered from very early on. In 1899, Renault launched the first production sedan car as well as patenting the first turbocharger. At the time, cars were very much luxury items, and the price of the smallest Renaults available being 3000 francs reflected this; an amount it would take ten years for the average worker at the time to earn. As well as cars, Renault manufactured taxis, buses and commercial cargo vehicles in the pre-war years, and during World War I (1914 - 1918) branched out into ammunition, military airplanes and vehicles such as the revolutionary Renault FT-17 tank. Renault became the world's leading manufacturer of airplane engines, and the success of the company's military designs were such that Renault himself was honored by the Allies for his company's contributions to their victory. By the end of the war, Renault was the number one private manufacturer in France.
