Blue Bora on Black

It may have a big flappy thing hanging off the underside, a shot ball joint and only 3 hubcaps, but seen from the right angle and in the right light, it's not a bad car at all.

The three male cats were on the garden wall looking at the goings on in this particular French village.

Then Brioche decided to pay Ginger a visit. Despite his aggressive swagger, they are great friends. He was just changing position to get a better view of what as passing by.

Meanwhile Flappy was happy in his own little world further down the wall.

Down at the wharf, a SR Q1 ‘Austerity’ 0-6-0 collapsible goods locomotive simmers next to an overhead water tank, which as usual in the land of the inch high is unlikely to contain water.

These engines are clever that when out of use, they fold right back in on themselves like a compressed furnace bellows or folding camera to save space. Then when fired, up they slowly expand to full working length as the boiler pressure increases. I’m not quite sure how it works with the inner gubbins and wheels, I’m no engineer, but that Oliver Bulleid is a very clever designer indeed.

Waving Willy jokingly waves to camera whilst shouting out “you’ve left the lens cap on”. Meanwhile Bob Geeza Cat is trying to charm his new fancy Mystic Mog, who with her psychic feline abilities knows exactly what Bob has planned for her, but her skills probably aren’t required for such 🐾

Former champion boxer, wrestler and all round cheeky chappie Driver Gaylord Grip leans on the engine buffer beam with his usual ‘hello darlin’ fancy comin’ darn the boozer for a Babysham or two’ pose. It’s such a habit he even does this when are aren’t any ladies around, or ‘bit of skirt’ as he calls the fairer sex.

And finally, Freddy the Flag is keeping an eye on operational activities, making sure that railway things only move when he flaps his flappy red flag.

1 - something glass (not a drinking glass)

2 - cloth

3 - cross-processed

I bought a poncho. I liked the fabrics and colours, and it was 30% off, so I bought it though I don't know if I'll ever dare wear it in public, it's quite large and flappy and needs taming with buttons or tapes or hooks and eyes. But it does look nice draped over the back of a chair. On the photo you see both right (foreground) and wrong (background) sides.

I drove by this fence a few times during driving practice, and always saw this row of seagulls lined up there having a loud, flappy, wild, messy, get-together.

I thought it would by fun to catch on camera, so I walked out there today and brought my legacy Minolta MD Tokina RMC 80-200mm F4.0 (160-400mm effective) zoom lens.

What you see are just a quarter of the birds, the rest flew away when I approached. I took a bunch of shots, but it wasn't until I switched to high-speed shooting that I was able to catch one mid-air on camera.

I wanted a shot of all of them taking off simultaneously as well, but made a fool of myself when I loudly yelled in an attempt to startle them to leave. They ignored it completely... Perhaps seagulls are deaf?

Anyways, I like this shot. The light worked out well, and for a manual focus lens I think I nailed it with an F4.0 setting on a moving object several meters away.

Me being halfnaked, with some sort of natural lightsource and wearing a petticoat: the usual stuff ;)

Still like it though, do have plans for other sort of pictures, don't worry :P

Haven't done anything for school yet, I'm a bit hungover I think :s I need to read a stupid book for school and I just don't want to start!! Well I'm going to buy myself some junkfood now for dinner.... my arms look so.. idk, flappy, should probably not eat junkfood.. sigh, oh well!

How awesome would this picture be if I still had white hair.. :(

OK - it is dorky, but Flappy was very happy with the game today vs. Rutgers.

Wednesday afternoon...

The bird that made Nate think he was having a cardiac arrhythmia.

While we were hiking at Sleeping Giant Provincial Park today, @enmicdee began to notice a periodic, rhythmic thrumming sound. The sound was so deep it seemed like he could feel it in his chest. So, being an anxious healthcare professional, he decided he must be having some sort of abnormal heart rhythm and didn’t mention it to me.

Only later, when I made some reference to the sound, he responded with, “Oh, thank god you can hear it too!”

Anyway, we initially suspected that the sound might be from some sort of machinery, but later we learned the source of the mysterious noise was…these big brown birds we kept seeing. Flapping their wings. They are called ruffed grouse and if you look up a video of them making their wing flappy noise, it looks very silly.

So Flappy has had such a great year...In Winter - he had kidney stones. Last month, a urinary tract infection and this month, surgery to remove a lump on his left front paw. He is two ailments away from a free visit! Meanwhile - the cats continue their string of never needing the vet for anything!

The Black-necked Stilts were such a distraction to me that this guy felt he had to go the extra mile to get my attention.

Feel better now Mr. Flappy?

I'm only happy when it rains

I'm only happy when its complicated

And though I know you cant appreciate it

I'm only happy when it rains

Pour some misery down on me...

♫♪♫ Garbage

Shirley Ann Manson (Edimburgo, 26 agosto 1966) è una cantante, chitarrista, modella e attrice scozzese, famosa come frontwoman del gruppo statunitense dei Garbage. A scuola è fatta oggetto di episodi di bullismo, viene infatti presa in giro per i suoi capelli rossi e per i suoi occhi giudicati troppo grandi. Questo la getta in una profonda depressione (ricordata in "Only happy when it rains") e la spinge a forme di autolesionismo.

4.30 pm Browns Bay beach.

lowish tide making nice reflections, dog walkers as expected with a notable exception of a young great dane running about as a silly thing with his tongue flapping around like a flappy thing,

pretty, like really pretty, clouds moving quickly,

a young (early teens) chubby-ish (?), slightly awkward anyway , girl alone, with a ball , practicing something looking like volleyball hit to me, watching her for a bit confirms - yes she's trying spike hit - my high school failed volleyball career left me with indelible memory of volleyball hits and how elegant they can be and how unable I was to ever be any elegant at them, it is totally uncommon to see anyone doing anything volleyball here let alone chubby-ish girl fine tuning volleyball spike hit with dedication for at least half an hour,

I want to come over to her and offer my help to serve the ball, and what the hell maybe even try the spike hit,

I don't.

leaving the bench/observation point/beach watching post - two early teenage girls dressed up as some kind of fairy creatures with wings and things , taking selfies while making faces and pouting (?) lips ...

Some dogs work hard all week - just to relax on the weekend.

Greylag geese ( Anser anser) arriving in immense flocks are a very common sight here in late autumn. Hundreds of thousands of geese spend the winter here in the Northern Provinces of Friesland & Groningen, most numerous among them are Canada-, Greylag-, Barnacle- and Greater White-fronted Geese

Poor Flappy - hopefully he will get his stitches out tomorrow and get to be done with that cone. Even though it is the Comfy Cone - it is still a cone.

"The Ferrari Enzo marked the point in which supercars became like modern fighting jets - demanding complicated electronics to keep it under control.

It's the computers that keep the 6-liter, 660 HP V12 and the flappy-paddle gearshift on speaking therms."

Jeremy Clarkson on the Enzo.

These guys are active hunters, and aren't shy about beating feet to get to their next meal. And I'd swear they'd run between your legs if that was the shortest distance to where the fish are.

You may have noticed that I said "run between your legs",

'cause with a 29" inseam there's not a whole lotta critters

that will be running between my legs!

Today I made a Blythe version of the kitty flappy helmet, I made for the Latis a while ago. I´m not sure somehow... I have a super self-critical day today :( What do you think? Cosima likes it!

this picture is from 1997

it is rather strange sine I look Like a giant and really butch and sane too...

while Jennie (who actually is shorter than me and Thomas is squatting in a way that makes me look like a giant, almost like socialist realism or one of those JW covers, where I am the savior or leader...

Still it is just an illusion on this very picture... might it be my short period of lumberjack butch dressing style that I had in the mid 90´s?

Café Frequenters episode 245

--------------------------------------------

(1999, Malmö, Sweden)

Fikrets story:

...then I met him at the club, my girlfriend wanted his friends boyfriend and we composed a small plan to make it happen... He was dressed in a cheap poly kitsch white wedding dress and had a black latex mask with a far to huge flappy nose, which made him look like a turkey with amber colored eyes or where they blue? anyhow his nose was like a flaccid organ, he had friendly but nutty voice a bit like a child, giddy and happy and full of loving spite in a friendly way...

When we were mingling to get our planned mission to an end, the chain my girlfriend had me leached in got him and me mixed up from time to time, especially since I wasn´t use to walk in stilettoes so I came quite close to him, me smelled out of old beer and cigarettes, but not in a bad way, it sounds strange... and also he smelled a bit like old clothing too, I guess it was his wedding outfit? the latex.mask didn´t smell much at all??? weird!

This is what really happened to Flappy Bird.

My new wheels, and my first hot hatchback, following three and a half years of sensible, but boring diesel motoring behind the wheel of my old 130,000 mile plus Kia Rio. The vRS had 27,000 miles from new when I got it, and is in immaculate condition for its age.

Likes:

- Performance (obviously), 180bhp from this 1.4 TSI, turbocharged and supercharged engine

- Engine sound

- 7 Speed DSG Auto with flappy paddles on the steering wheel (It's the gearbox of choice for modern sports and supercars). I don't miss manuals at all in daily driving.

- Styling (Only in vRS form, have you seen how dowdy the normal Fabia looks?)

- vRS bucket seats

- Interior space (headroom, legroom front & rear, boot space all good)

- Handling

- Fuel economy (Yes I rate 37mpg pretty good on mixed conditions, mid 40s on longer runs)

- A great car for all types of driving; comfortable when driven carefully, a lot of fun when you aren't

- Visibility all round. Skoda are known for being generous with glass coverage, this is great for a modern car.

- I'm a Skoda owner, that's something I never thought would happen.

Dislikes:

- Trade off of good handling is bumpy ride, but it's not nearly as bad as many of its rivals

- Concerns about car park dings and other drivers

- Slightly behind the times technologically speaking; no DAB radio, bluetooth, satnav, or cruise control (These can all be retro fitted by main dealers if you wanted)

- Oil consumption - well documented with these engines, also used in the VW Polo GTI and SEAT Ibiza Cupra Bocanegra, which use a litre of oil every 600 miles. (Luckily I don't have oil cost worries where I work, so not a problem, but I don't think this is acceptable for a modern engine)

- The most expensive car I've ever bought, and possibly the most risky reliability wise (but for the latter; I have a Skoda extended warranty)

- Depreciation concerns

- Very difficult to keep clean

This is the newest and third car in my collection, added to my '86 Porsche 924S & '88 Rover 213. A diverse range of motoring choices there I'm sure you'll agree, which I still absolutely love.

Am I crazy? Probably, yes.

Pictured at Stratford County Raceway, the day after I got it, after driving 3 laps in a Lamborghini Gallardo around a track. Behind, one of several derelict old war planes dotted around the site.

this was taken at some of my favorite trails in MT. he obliged me here, the flappy ears were a big bonus.
