The all new, slap bang up to date photo of the day 2023
Here we go - prompted by Matt's comment. Any chance we could pin this please Mr Admin sir?
Just to get us started, a picture of a roofless shed, a lurcher, and one of the chaps who took away the asbestos roof. https://i.imgur.com/cEZQmHi.jpg |
Re: The all new, slap bang up to date photo of the day 2023
Even with all the PPE, asbestos removal is not a job I'd fancy ....

I do like a Victorian pumping station - those enormous beam engines are just amazing.

From your earlier post, am I correct thinking that this is Claymills pumping station? Since I don't live all that far away from it, I really ought to visit, preferably when it's in steam! |
Re: The all new, slap bang up to date photo of the day 2023
I visited Crossness Pumping Station on the South Bank of the Thames a few years ago on an open day. Part of Joseph Bazalgette's remarkable Victorian transformation of the capital's sewage system. Such an ornate and remarkable building. I'll have to hunt out a few pics...

The volunteers are really knowledgable & love to chat about the renovations & how the place works. They are steaming sometime this month they told us |

We have a Victorian pumping station in Shrewsbury at Coleham. Again run by volunteers and opens several times a year to visitors.

Not the sharpest pic, I know, but I watched in rapt fascination as this female sparrowhawk took a leisurely 90-minute lunch on a pigeon in our garden today.

It was interesting to see what the hawk had eaten after it finally flew off and left the corpse.
It had had a little nibble at the breast under one of the pigeon's wings, but the main part of the meal was the pigeon's neck: from the skull to the start of the breastbone was picked clean right down to the spine, barely a scrap of muscle or skin left. It had even eaten most of the contents of the pigeon's crop (seeds etc). A while back we watched a falconry display and chatting to the falconer afterwards, I asked if raptors had any tastebuds. He replied that they didn't, and whatever they preyed on or found as carrion was simply fuel to be bolted as fast as possible, or taken back to the next for their brood. |

I visited a bike show in Winstanslow on Sunday. I got there a bit late so didn't see as much as I'd like.

Had a ride into Welshpool to do a few errands. Parked at Tesco and this pulled in beside me. Had a good chat with the owner who has only had it a few days but is very happy with it so far. This is really quite small, no bigger than my old 70s T140V.
Very pretty bike. https://i.imgur.com/ewY4Fo7.jpg |

Had a little shot of this while my bike was in for a service today.
https://i.imgur.com/We9C1N8.jpg I can understand the appeal, not really my kind of thing though. https://i.imgur.com/NDCbLgz.jpg I don't know how they only got 64bhp from a 900. Seat and pegs are super low. I was scraping the bottom of my boots going around roundabouts. Brakes didn't feel up to the job. It did sound good though |
Re: The all new, slap bang up to date photo of the day 2023
Meant to share this a couple of weeks ago. Was walking round West Wycombe with Lady Poppy and nearly stepped on this little fella. Luckily I spotted it in time and stopped, and I had my Sony ILC with me with the wide angle on it. Don't think I've ever seen a slow worm before so it was lovely to get a few snaps of this one before it managed to get across the path and into the grass on the other side.
