don't blink
I did not realise that the angel in the picture yesterday was a “weeping angel” (an alien life form capable of time travel). How was I supposed to know—the eyes were not covered?
Anyway my brother-in-law Laurence blinked and suddenly he was transported into the future. Luckily Laurence got a message to me by posting it in my blog in the future and backdating it so we can see it (see his message in yesterday’s comments).
So today’s post is for Laurence: Hey Laurence there is a message in today’s photo from “the doctor.” So all you have to do is find a metal weeping angel and blink – then you will be in the past. Of course you will probably not wind up on today’s date but will overshoot and wind up several years earlier, but all you have to do is hang around enough years until yesterday comes around again then find yourself and shout “don’t blink” at the right moment and that should then fix things.
If that works I will see you shortly, and you will see me in a few years

closed when in transit

I like this shade of black and texture so I took the picture. It is a tap or release valve on a train carriage that carries some kind of chemical. The instruction to "keep closed while in transit" is likely because air rushing past an open valve on an empty tank would likely cause a vacuum to increase and decrease inside in relation to the speed of the train. Apart from being noisy (like a church organ) it might also expel chemical residue. Well that is my hypothesis anyway.
old train
tank!

On the lead up to remembrance day I thought I would post this shot I took in the Imperial War Museum (Duxford) last year.

jolly nice day

So today James and I were towing the boat through the back streets of Hamilton on the way to winter storage, and all of a sudden lots of police cars and police motorcycles came rushing from the opposite direction. So of course I grabbed my camera and fired off a few shots – and what would you know – Prince Charles!
