Aurora Borealis over the UK tonight.  Might still be about if you're lucky.  If you stick your phone on a three second exposure (or more) and point North, you may get something.  I'm near Dover with fairly poor seeing, so if you're up much further North and it's clear, you may have got a full, spectacular visual display.

We had a good view here in Bg,managed to sleep through it tho....

So completely under the radar, 30,000 people in South Hampshire lost their water on Thursday night and it never came back until Sunday. We're told we may well have more outages.

But because we don't have lots of MPs living in our area and being the scumbags that we are, it barely got a mention on the news, unlike a few thousand folk who lost theirs in leafy Surrey for 24 hours and suddenly it's a "Major Incident".

Anyhow, we turned that into a benefit. To avoid the outage, we booked a last minute holiday to a holiday park on the other side of the New Forest (who did have water). Was dirt cheap and turned out to be made up of brand new static caravans that were very clean.

And the best bit is that it turns out we get £30 compensation for every 12 hours we're without. As that was 6 of those, we'll get the holiday paid for too!

No and calling them bullet trains is oh so wrong. It is like calling all buses with a platform a Routemaster. The express train services in Spain are called AVE (it is on the side it is on the website) AVE is Alta Velocidad Española. In Spanish Ave is a bird. It is a play on words.

The train in the image is a S102 and built by Talgo or Bombardier. I give you the link from the WIKI in Spanish because it is more informative than the English one. https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serie_102_de_Renfe

could be worse I had a good friend of mine call a Leyland Titan (as in the 1980's type) a Routemaster, like how! they dont even look vaugely similar, still baffles to me to this very day

and to make matters worse he knows what a Routemaster is/looks like too (though knowing me/some open top ones he saw where he lives in Canada)

 

it was pretty much at this point I figuratively speaking disowned him LOL

They have 2 high speed trains here , one looks like this , one more traditional looking , the website I researched them on called it a bullet train , presumably to differentiate it from the standard trains 

It was about 20 minutes late getting in to cordoba , walking up the platform I saw an access panel at the front missing , whether it'd come off at speed or there'd been a problem I don't know

Don’t the Japanese call the one that looks like that the “Platypus”?

Did you not make your train reservations on the RENFE website.? They are called AVE there.

Been out in the cold doing groundwork all week for a granny flat house build so feeling pretty broken. Came home to a greeting of my cars making (another) funny noise. Here we go two three four. Took it for spin this morning and yeah the drive shaft is still grumbling though thats not the noise shes on about that gains with speed. Come home het the jack out all tight apart from said shaft. 

Whats this though

Bumper repair worn down and doing the impression of a raleigh griffter with a playing card taped to the fork leg. 

I like repairs like this. Driveshaft can wait till i'm less broken.

I always wondered how to get rid of my dildo packaging when I’m away on business trips, I now know that the answer is go to reception and announce ‘I found this under the bed!’.
