When you're a busy mom like this pretty lady there isn't time to get a professional pedicure. You take things into your own hands......or mouth and hands.
This photo is of the Oculus transit hub in New York City. The facility cost more than $4 billion to construct, and had a budget overrun of more than $2 billion! Talk about not quite getting the cost estimates right!
I'm not sure what was going on here with this old Standard Vanguard perched somewhat precariously on this truck chassis! I did wonder what may have happened if I removed the block of wood that was acting as a brake from under the LHF wheel.....

UN NUOVO PROGETTO 1° parte

Di sicuro, questo viaggio a Cuba,
dette motivazioni importanti a mia moglie.
La "cura" fu così efficace che tornò piena di vigore e positività .
Il mio senso di colpa, era diventato d'improvviso sopportabile,
acquisendo una visione della vita molto diversa.
Da allora ribaltai le priorità .
Voglio vivere ogni attimo come un dono di Dio.
Lottare e condividere le giornate partendo dal sorriso del mattino.
Armonia e benessere interiore a fortificare un modo semplice e meraviglioso di percepire la bellezza del mondo.
Insomma, vivere.
Nemmeno il tempo di tornare che Anto si mise in testa di allestire un secondo negozio ben più grande e di livello.
La ghiotta occasione arrivò dopo pochi mesi.
A due passi da Piazza dei Miracoli scovammo un fondo antico e pieno di fascino.
Con al centro un bell'arco in pietra.
Un sogno di Antonella e lo confesso, anche mio.
Poter un giorno lavorare nei pressi di una delle piazze più ammirate al mondo.
Per la prima volta non avevamo grossi problemi di budget.
L'assicurazione aveva in parte risarcito le sofferenze d' Antonella.
E questo "dono" fu manna per uno "pseudo" arredatore d'interni.

A UK government minister used this expression in parliament last week and I was mystified by what he was on about. This is what I found:
"In the UK, 4.1 million tonnes of food is wasted in the grocery retail supply chain each year. The wasted food is safe, in-date and edible, but isn’t used by major retailers for a variety of reasons, such as faulty packaging and over-ordering.
‘Social supermarkets’ reduce this food waste by selling this ‘waste’ stock at low prices to local people on low incomes who are struggling with food poverty."
Anyway this is my dinner today. Not knowing what you will be able to buy each week makes for some creative cooking!
Bixby Creek Bridge, also known as Bixby Bridge, is a reinforced concrete open-spandrel arch bridge in Big Sur, California. The bridge is located 120 miles (190 km) south of San Francisco and 13 miles (21 km) south of Carmel in Monterey County along California Highway One. Prior to the opening of the bridge in 1932, residents of the Big Sur area were virtually cut off during winter due to the often impassable Old Coast Road that led 11 miles (18 km) inland. At its completion, the bridge was built under budget for $199,861 and was the longest concrete arch span at 320 feet (98 m) on the California State Highway System. It is one of the tallest single-span concrete bridges in the world and one of the most photographed bridges along the Pacific Coast due to its aesthetic design and location.

Mons
Nouvelle gare | New station
Située à proximité du centre de la ville de Mons, la gare fut mise en service en 1841 par les Chemins de fer de l'État belge et reconstruite à trois reprises depuis lors.
Le troisième bâtiment, qui datait de 1952, a été démoli en 2013 puis est progressivement remplacé par une nouvelle gare, conçue par l'architecte Santiago Calatrava ; le budget, prévu à 37 millions d'euros en 2006, atteint 480 millions en 2024 (en fin de chantier), soit 13 fois le montant initial.
En août 2023, la fin des travaux de la nouvelle gare (prévue à l'origine pour début 2015) est annoncée pour février 2024. En mai 2024, le chantier « touche à sa fin». La nouvelle gare a finalement été mise en service le 18 décembre 2024 et sera inaugurée le 31 janvier 2025.

---------------
Located near the centre of the city of Mons, the station was opened in 1841 by the Belgian State Railways and has been rebuilt three times since then.
The third building, which dated from 1952, was demolished in 2013 to be gradually replaced by a new station, designed by the Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava; the budget, planned at 37 million euros in 2006, reached 480 million in 2024 (at the end of the construction), i.e. 13 times the initial amount.
In August 2023, the end of the work on the new station (originally planned for early 2015) was announced for February 2024. In May 2024, the construction site "neared its end".
The new station was finally opened on 18 December 2024 and will be inaugurated on 31 January 2025.
