Week 21 in 52 Weeks for Dogs
This is a 'make do' shot as I couldn't get what I wanted, but I have to say I really like it! I love the sunlight coming in from the left through our front door, I love her pose and how she somehow reminds me of a little wolf.
There's a little bit off camera flash helping to light her face, the speedlight is positioned to come on a diagonal line from back right to front left (looking at the photo).

The early TPs are nearly done, only thirteen years after entering service (actually a little longer than some of the later models and contemporaries with other companies!)
Even though the Metrobuses that these Plaxton President-bodied 9.9m Tridents replaced were utterly exhausted, it didn't take long for Holloway to run the TPs into the ground in the same matter - to be fair, the territory the 17, 43 and 134 run through is as passenger-intensive as you can get. But the TPs just weren't particularly great buses - they were awkwardly laid-out, extremely noisy and their seats were so poor that I would avoid them if one appeared on the 134 if I had to take it - an hour on one of those bolt-upright rock-hard monstrosities and you'd need the wheelchair these things were designed to accommodate. Obliquely connected, I threw up in a TP once after a rough night of vile boxed wine that I never should have touched - the speckled floor hid it pretty well!
Still, they could be found on all HT's routes sooner or later, during which time they underwent three livery changes - just managing to sidestep MTL's drear red by being taken into stock by Metroline, their red and blue became dumbed-down red and blue (as here), then came a flirtation with the hideous pastel blue skirt of ComfortDelgro (isn't that some sort of fabric softener?) and finally to lifeless all-red. The registration blocks were a total mess, but vastly entertaining if you didn't have to identify them by sight (TP 23 being T73 KLD because you couldn't get 23, which unfortunately meant TA 73 having to take T43 KLD - confused?). Back when even low-floor buses had useful blinds and proper central staircases, TP 23 is heading south on the 134.

Taken 16/02/19 during rail replacement work whilst rail services were suspended between Eastleigh and Brockenhurst due to improvements to the access to Southampton Docks.
No. 553 was previously Metroline No. TP23 (T73KLD)
According to Wikipedia "... Xelabus was founded in November 2010 by bus enthusiast Gareth Blair, son of well-known bus enthusiast Philip Blair. It originally operated seven bus routes which were mainly supermarket routes for Asda and Tesco. Since then nine more routes have commenced including an Open Top Tour "Sea the city" and some more supermarket services. Vehicles are painted in a green livery similar to that of the former Hants & Dorset company. A free service in Eastleigh was the first route to be introduced."

Sometimes I get to feelin'
I was back in the old days - long ago
When we were kids, when we were young
Things seemed so perfect - you know ?
The days were endless, we were crazy - we were young
The sun was always shinin' - we just lived for fun

The Duple and Plaxton bodied Leyland Tigers became the mainstay of the Green Line network in the 1980's. New in 12/1983, this Amersham based Tiger is seen at it's home depot in late May 1986.
The film was a Boots Colouslide which has sadly faded. The camera being a Praktica MTL3.

Week 42 in 52 Weeks for Dogs
Today we met up with several other lapphund owners and their assorted lappies for a 4 mile walk on Greenham Common (a former airforce base and notorious for The Womens' Peace Camp)
Tasku lived up to her nickname and made another conquest, the handsome Kuura was besotted with her and followed her for most of the walk. All the dogs had a wonderful time, lots of puddles to race through :o)
It was overcast and not good for action shots but with a bit of processing I think this one's just about ok.
