I tried that again with colours I prefer, but don't actually like it any better.
So YAY, the best part of a painting slump is that I know I'm one dab closer to some sort of something or other that I'll really like.
In the last couple of years, Cardiff Bus appeared to have switched to Alexander Dennis for new vehicles, having already received 10 E20D MMCs and a similar number of 'classic style' E20Ds earlier this year. However, a repeat order was placed for 10 Mercedes Benz Citaro 0295s and these have recently arrived as 131-40, following on sequentially from the 30 Citaros delivered in 2013 and 2015.
All carry branding for Service 27 (Thornhill), which sees competition from New Adventure Travel's X8, and as a representative of the batch, 133 is emerging from Park Street, with the Principality Stadium forming the backdrop, in late August 2017.

It's been some time coming, but finally the replacements for the FJ08 batch of Volvo B9TL's with Yorkshire Coastliner are arriving, and on December 8 2016 the new buses were launched at an event outside York Minster. As a repeat of history back from 2003, the Coastliner order is a tag-on to an order made for Harrogate and District's route 36 - however an improvement from 2003-4 is that the Coastliner buses are specified to just as high a standard if not better.
The vehicles used for the launch event are BT66 MVO and BT66 MVP which are Volvo B5TL Wright Eclipse Gemini 3's - oddly these have been given 36xx fleetnumbers, the reason I've been given is simply because these 'follow on' from the Harrogate order, but for clarity I have included the *correct* fleetnumbers in brackets for the photo titles. As it stands, only these two vehicles have currently been delivered - though two more are due late next week whilst the rest are still either in Northern Ireland or at Heysham; the two buses seen here will see their first day of service on December 12 with a new timetable in effect at the same time (the timetable conveniently shows which journeys will be run by the new buses). This order of B5TL's consists of ten vehicles to fully replace 411-420, and the order is worth just over £2.3Million; the engines comply to Euro 6 standard which means these buses emit less pollution in terms of particulate matter than a small diesel hatchback car (and studies have proven this). Each bus has a gross vehicle weight of 18t and is 11.5m long and 4.4m heigh.
In famous Transdev style, the plan for 411-420 has changed at the 11th hour and 59th minute: rather than going to keighley the company has decided not to renew the lease and so those will leave the group as a whole.
Interior specification for these is amlost identical to those used for Harrogate and District's route 36, however the seats have the Creating Desire moquette trim instead of leather (probably better for long journeys to the coast anyway, less sweaty bums!). Upstairs has high-backed coach seating with individual USB charging sockets, the seats themselves are wider than normal bus seats for greater comfort. Upstairs has two seating groups arranged around a table, and an improvement over the H&D 36 buses is that each table has a wireless induction charger for mobile phones; each table is also finished with a unique vinyl which is patterned for something associated with the coastliner route (likewise the interior panel of the staircase). The upper deck has a double-glazed panoramic sunlight going the length of the bus to allow better views and more light into the bus, whilst the aisles upstairs and downstairs is finished in wood effect. The seats have blue LED lights underneath to better illuminate the aisle and provide delineation between aisle and seats. The glazing panel inside for the staircase has been finished with an etched new-style Coastliner logo which is then edge-lit by blue LED's. At the rear of the lower deck the usual group of 5 forward-facing seats have been replaced by 4 wider seats to allow passengers more room, and the seats are also provided with a table complete with USB sockets, a footrest underneath and a space for bags (and in one photo is demonstrated by fellow enthusiast Frank). The bus has full CCTV coverage in addition to audio 'next stop' announcements controlled by GPS and the Mobitech destination equipment. The destinations also follow a new innovation being rolled out with new Transdev buses in that it can count down time until the bus departs its first stop.
Externally the buses have been given an entirely new livery in the current Transdev style as also seen in York on the Cityzap and Little Explorers buses, along with a new logo and the motto "Yorkshire's Amazing Day Out", as everything is amazing apparently. Each bus is given a unique rear advertisement to promote somewhere along the route, taking up the space previously used for the route map which has now been shifted to the side panels above the lower deck windows (seen in one photo where I seem to have caught Scott Poole by surprise). And the buses have crystal white LED destinations.

The Blues Festival in the little village of Thredbo, in the Australian Snowy Mountains is always a blast.
Indoors in the Schuss Bar, the Repeat Offenders, a new line-up of old musical favourites pound out some seriously swampy southern soul with Gary Lothian on guitar, Rosscoe Clark on drums, Dave Green on bass, and Sally King on vocals.

Some of our Iris have started to bloom again and are adding an extra welcomed splash of color to our garden.
Not sure if all the rain we've have lately has anything to do with it, or if we just happen to have Iris that bloom in late winter and then again in late spring but whatever the reason I'll take it.
WEEK 14 – Closing the Gap (III)
Out in the parking lot now, here's a shot of the exterior – from a straight-on perspective, and not an angle taken while on the sidewalk, as we saw yesterday :P December 20th is a bit too long ago for me to remember the weather now, but the image seems to point to a pretty similar scenario as what's playing out this weekend: cold and wet! I shouldn't complain, because next thing I know, it'll be 97° XD

These places are public so these photos are too, but just as I tell where they came from, I'd appreciate if you'd say who :)
I've seen it all, I have seen the trees,
I've seen the willow leaves dancing in the breeze
I've seen a friend killed by a friend,
And lives that were over before they were spent.
I've seen what I was - I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!
You haven't seen elephants, kings or Peru!
I'm happy to say I had better to do
What about China? Have you seen the Great Wall?
All walls are great, if the roof doesn't fall!
And the man you will marry?
The home you will share?
To be honest, I really don't care...
You've never been to Niagara Falls?
I have seen water, its water, that's all...
The Eiffel Tower, the Empire State?
My pulse was as high on my very first date!
Your grandson's hand as he plays with your hair?
To be honest, I really don't care...
I've seen it all, I've seen the dark
I've seen the brightness in one little spark.
I've seen what I chose and I've seen what I need,
And that is enough, to want more would be greed.
I've seen what I was and I know what I'll be
I've seen it all - there is no more to see!
You've seen it all and all you have seen
You can always review on your own little screen
The light and the dark, the big and the small
Just keep in mind - you need no more at all
You've seen what you were and know what you'll be
You've seen it all - there is no more to see!

An odd 'chain' of flowers connected to a succulent plant has progressively risen out of the pot for over a month now. The full growth is around 3 feet and counting. I wonder how much taller it will get!
"I think that some silence may do us good today as we pause to look upon her and repeat to her the words of that other loving son:
Simply looking at you, O Mother, / having eyes only for you, / looking upon you without saying anything, / telling you everything, wordlessly and reverently. / Do not perturb the air before you; / only cradle my stolen solitude / in your loving Motherly eyes, / in the nest of your clear ground. / Hours tumble by, / and with much commotion, / the wastage of life and death / sinks its teeth into foolish men. Having eyes for you, O Mother, simply contemplating you / with a heart / quieted in your tenderness / that silence of yours, / chaste as the lilies.
And in the silence, and in this looking at her, we will hear what she says to us once more, “What, my most precious little one, saddens your heart?” (Nican Mopohua, 107). “Yet am I not here with you, who have the honour of being your mother?” (ibid., 119)."
– Pope Francis.

Mercedes Benz has received a repeat order from Cardiff Bus for 10 Citaros, following the 20 that arrived just under two years ago and the batch of 10 Alexander Dennis Enviro200s delivered last November. These are the 'new generation' C2 model and can be distinguished by their protruding destination boxes and rear roof panels, and more pronounced wheelarch mouldings. They are mostly replacing W- and Y-registration Super Pointer-bodied Darts.
Their registration marks follow the block allocated to recently delivered Alexander Dennis Enviro400 MMCs 301-10, and the ones carried by 121-7 replicate those that were allocated to Stagecoach's MANs 22789-95. As a consequence, 123 carries 'ABO', which is very fitting given that 'BO' was a former Cardiff mark under the former registration system.
