I knew Lionfish were venomous even fatal.
After coming across one about 20 feet offshore I googled the number of fatalities they cause in a year.
Apparently the spines cause a really painful sting which is seldom fatal but the commonest incidents are with curious photographers who annoy them!
Judging by the way this one's spines have gone from being flat against its back to being fully erect I guess I was lucky!
A soldier under Russian command restrains a colleague after he fired his weapon into the air and screamed orders to turn back at an approaching group of over 100 unarmed Ukrainian troops at the Belbek airbase, which the Russian troops are occcupying, in Crimea on March 4, 2014 in Lubimovka, Ukraine. The Ukrainians are stationed at their garrison nearby, and after spending a tense night anticipating a Russian attack following the expiration of a Russian deadline to surrender, in which family members of troops spent the night at the garrison gate in support of the soldiers, their commander Colonel Yuli Mamchor announced his bold plan this morning to retake the airfield by confronting the Russian-lead soldiers unarmed. The Russian-lead troops fired their weapons into the air but then granted Mamchor the beginning of negotiations with their commander. Russian-lead troops have blockaded a number of Ukrainian military bases across Crimea.

The dull weather did sort of ruin things a bit, since a couple of hours earlier it looked lovely in the sunshine, yet under the miserable, colourless cloud it somehow looked more like winter had arrived.
Another thing that had arrived was the Grayscroft 12, which was a strange service that only ran Tues/Weds/Thurs, with about three journeys in each direction - I say 'about' as not all of the journeys covered the full length of the route. The use of past tense here is down to the fact it appears to be a holidays-only service, which last ran on the 8th of September. Here I've spotted it with only four more days left to operate, in its penultimate 'week', if you can even call it that when it only runs 3 days.
The typical Grayscroft vehicle is an Omnidekka such as this one, because they have seven of the things, plus two Omnicity deckers. They make up almost the whole fleet, with one Eclipse and a couple of coaches making up the rest. NBZ 1670 in particular is an ex-Metrobus example, previously registered YN54 AJU, and according to Bustimes this day on the 12 was the most recent time it's been in service.
Since it's there I might as well mention it, as alongside the typical Grayscroft bus we have the typical Stagecoach in Skegness bus (or at least a typical non-seasider Skegness bus), in the form of an InterConnect purple 57 plate ADL Enviro 400. 19209 has assumed its position in the layover bay at the exit to Skegness bus station on 31.8.22
The leaves under the kale are dying but what FABULOUS colours THEY are turning! Can't bear to throw them into the compost yet!!
The Birkdale Palace Hotel was a luxury hotel located in the Lancashire coastal resort of Birkdale, Southport, on the north-west coast of England. It was opened in 1866 and demolished in 1969. During the Second World War it was a rehabilitation centre for US airmen, and in the last two years of its existence was used as a film location. It was notorious as a haunted hotel.
Developed by the Southport Hotel Company (funded mainly by Manchester merchants), the Birkdale Palace Hotel was built on a 20-acre (8.1 ha) site at the end of Weld Road, fronting the Birkdale shore. The 200 ft (61 m) long luxurious hotel opened in 1866 at a cost of £60,000 and was a very grandiose building, having magnificent reception rooms and 75 bedrooms.
A long standing rumour was that the hotel had been built the wrong way round, so instead of the hotel front facing out to sea, it in fact faced inland. It was also said that the architect, William Mangnall then committed suicide by jumping off the roof of the building. There have been stories of how the architect's ghost was heard to travel up and down in the lifts and was heard walking along the second floor stone floors whilst the building was being demolished. Unfortunately for lovers of ghost stories, recent research has revealed that there is no evidence that the hotel was built the wrong way round and William Mangnall actually died of consumption at Lord Street, Southport, two years after the hotel was opened.
In 1919 the hotel introduced flights from Blackpool to the nearby aviation ground. In an official guide to Southport in 1939, the hotel boasted of billiards, croquet on the lawns, dancing, evening concerts, Sunday afternoon orchestral teas and tennis, to name but a few activities available. By this time, the hotel had become a successful holiday resort hotel and conference centre, with stars like Frank Sinatra and Clark Gable staying there. In 1962, the Beatles performed there. Its final owners, Heddon Hotels, went into liquidation and were wound up in 1967. In February of that year there were only two guests – an elderly permanent resident and the company controller's wife.
Its last use was in 1968/9 as a film production base for Tigon, a specialist in low budget exploitation films run by legendary British producer Tony Tenser. What's Good for the Goose, starring Norman Wisdom, and The Haunted House of Horror (which was also filmed at the nearby Bank Hall in Bretherton) were both filmed at the hotel, with most of the indoor scenes in What's Good for the Goose making use of the hotel's public areas. Mr. Tenser actually suggested to Southport Council that they jointly buy the empty hotel and operate it as a film production centre but the Council turned down the idea, on the grounds that they did not enter into commercial partnerships.The Hotel was demolished a few weeks later in 1969.
There is now a housing estate called Ascot Close on the site, although what was originally the coach house of the hotel survived demolition and is now the Fishermen's Rest pub. The coach house was used as a temporary mortuary for the bodies of 14 lifeboatmen drowned in the Southport and St Anne's lifeboats disaster on 9th December 1886, when the sailing ship Mexico was driven aground near Southport by a storm. The bodies were viewed there by the jury of the hastily-convened coroner's inquiry held at the Palace Hotel.
The pub was named in tribute to the local fishermen who gave their lives serving as volunteer lifeboatmen, and they are remembered there every year on the anniversary of the event by the reading of a commemorative poem and the observation of a minute's silence.
The story of the haunted lift at the Palace Hotel has entered into local folklore and was first reported in local newspaper The Southport Visiter on 6 May 1969, when a group of demolition workers reported that the lift at the old Palace Hotel in Birkdale was acting very strangely. Jos Smith, who was heading the demolition team, said: "Things began to happen soon after we started the job. First we were woken up by eerie voices and other strange noises in the middle of the night, then the lift suddenly began to work by itself."
Further investigation revealed that despite the fact that the lift's power had been cut and the brakes were on, the four ton box was quite merrily making its way between floors, just as it did before the hotel was closed. " That made the men really jittery ! " added Mr Smith.
In fact, the team of hardened demolition workers became so jittery that they cut the giant lift from its holdings, but still the lift didn't drop, the workmen hammered the top of the lift until this caused it to come crashing down from the third floor into the basement. The workmen also reported hearing voices, the sounds of arguments and a woman's stilettoes clattering through the foyer, although these may have been caused by courting couples who were often believed to make use of the hotel's empty bedrooms.The workers, from Rochdale, even locked themselves in their rooms on occasions.

I wish that I could push a button
And talk in the past and not the present tense
And watch this hurtin' feeling disappear
Like it was common sense
This is one i had up before , but it's one among the few i deleted in error...I took this photo on a November sundown in 1986. This farm country was once in rural Beaverton and close to my home...Today it no longer exists, and is paved over and covered with houses... I miss those earlier times, when i had this beautiful farmland too photograph.
