I’m in a pub, enjoying a safe pint of Abbot and discussing OS benchmarks. It’s all @RichardMortime2 ‘s fault.

@AffinityWater Hello. I’m trying to report what appears to be a sub-surface road leak, but the online form consistently fails to submit. Any other way? Thanks.

[Phil Tobitt 🇪🇺 @v8giraffe]

@neilmcrae Like a boss! Hope it goes well.

[Phil Tobitt 🇪🇺 @v8giraffe]

@neilmcrae Nice setup Neil, I must get down sometime and take a look at that kit!

Should anyone be involved in groups or societies which host experienced public speakers I'm open to offers to natter either online or in-person 😁

More details (inc. portfolio of subjects) in the link, but if historic buildings are your thing lets talk 🙂

@RichardMortime2 Yes, I think it did. The house seems to be being renovated at the moment.

@Grindrod I used to go to car boot sales in the 90s on the wasteland there after the site was razed, interesting to see it as it was before.

Treated to a visitation by a box tree moth this evening. Never seen one before. Luckily there is no box growing near us, so I could just enjoy looking at it. #moths #lepidoptary (Seen here caught under a glass.)

@PranilRaja Good work!

[Phil Tobitt 🇪🇺 @v8giraffe]

@FvdE @LUDENClassics Well, I guess every day is a school day, but I fear we may run out of usable words soon.

[Phil Tobitt 🇪🇺 @v8giraffe]

@FvdE @LUDENClassics Blimey, think I will retreat to my non-existent garage and close the door. Crazy.

🏊🏻‍♂️Do you want to help re-open this spectacular, grade II listed, 1932 saltwater lido?

@savegrangelido are organising a #CrossBayWalk on Sat 12 August, venturing over the vast sands of Morecambe Bay to raise funds for their restoration project.

@RichardMortime2 Richard, I’ve been meaning to take a picture of this little scene for you for a while now. ‘Road Furniture and door, Audley End House.’ Some bricks in the wall are recycled from the original house.
