John 2 – Hedgetrimmers 0

admin — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 12:22:14 +0000

Well I killed another one last week. There i was trimming the hedge when there was a blue flash of light, a Pssssht! and a dead hedgetrimmer.

Yes, I cut through another hedgetrimmer cable. When i mentioned to Trish it might be time to go for a petrol hedgetrimmer I think she went to check my life insurance.

End of an Era

My Scuba gear has gone – well most of it anyway. I sold my AP vision Rebreather and it was picked up on Sunday evening, so it will now be diving with a new owner…

Stolen!

I noticed this last weekend, and took a photo. It was growing in a patch of “jungle” out the front of the house, I am glad I took a photo as 2 days later it was gone, someone had taken the whole flower! It hadnt died, but was completely gone.

Given the name of the company I work for I hope it wasn’t an omen.

We have never planted anything in this patch of dirt – it seems to be just weed and creeper and this flower just popped up, never seen it before!

Faith – Restored (for now anyway!)

Last night I was standing next to the ticket machine, pondering that even though I had £3.80 in my hand, I still didnt have enough change for the carpark.

The Robber Barons (aka Windsor & Maidenhead Borough Council) wanted to take £4.30 from me to park for an hour and a half. from 7:30pm till 9 when the car park becomes free!

A lady who had just bought her ticket thrust some change in my hand and said “there you go” and wandered off.

Thanks whoever you are!

Frontal Lobotomy

Oh – Almost forgot, my bus is probably having it’s lobotomy today. It gets an elevating roof courtesy of Concept Multi Car in Kent.

I should get to pick it up on Saturday – I am getting a little excited

drivers in Windsor

I drive through Windsor every day and the other day a couple of things struck me.

Why did someone pull out of their drive, go 0.2 of a mile to their childs school to drop them off?

Why – when Windsor has a lot of Traffic Wardens and Police around, do so many people flaunt the no right turn into Thames Street from King Edward VII Avenue? Last time I was stopped at the lights, five cars pulled an illegal turn in the space of about a minute.

Our girl in the snow

I took this the other day…

But it is almost all gone now.

The Snow

Some things become clear when there is a little bit of adversity as per the recent snow.

Good Stuff

People – They oddly stop and talk to others, and in general seem to be in a better mood, which is very strange given the circumstances.

People also seem to stop and help others more readily.

Snowmen

It is quieter at work, even though it is Tax Return month

Bad Stuff

Dog owners who decide that they dont need to clear up their dogs poo when it snows

Windsor Great Park Road when it is snowing.

It will be busy at work when the snow is gone, after all it is Tax Return month!

The driver of ther Range Rover who thought it was cool to do 50mph on the wrong side of the road through the Great Park when everyone else was doing 20.

Bicycles in the clear bit of road forcing drivers to pull over and into oncoming traffic to get around them. If you use a bike, then in this weather you will get there just as quickly (and more safely) by walking.

The woman and bloke in Bracknell who also walked in the middle of the road, on the worst day of the year while pushing a buggy.

People clearing the shelves in Tescos and acting like the Armageddon was on the way by panic buying everything
