Yesterday afternoon, Worcestershire decided to invade Warwickshire with a Saab 45 Dracken.

I think they should have warned me that they were going to fly so low over these hills.

You certain it was a Saab Draken?

As we have since we've had dogs on nice sunny days we put a bowl of water out by the back door. As they tend to be outside most of the time. Every time Charlie wants a drink he walks right past his normal bowl and go's outside for a drink.

Someone on the local facebook page identified it as that. They could be wrong, of course. It was a "swept back" is that delta? fighter jet.

Anything like this?

Or the one intended to be the one Clint knocked in Firefox, but the Swedish government said "No".

I suppose I had better go and wash my jars...

Is that a euphemism? 🤔

We passed a roadsign pointing to Notterbridge!
Do the locals tell people? "Best not go down there as Notterbridge is there!"
Is it some flimsy structure or a vast chasm?

More likely to be "Notter Bridge is in that direction if you're wanting Notter."

Cat has been fed. I can't feed me until the marmalade passes the set test.

Nice sixty miles cycled today, taking in a few new roads for me and a trip across the county border and time spent wandering around the ruins of a linen mill which was once a magnificent building. There is a sort of museum about it now which was the reason for my visit but it was closed despite their Facebook page saying they opened Sundays.

On the plus side, I found a fiver around the back of the mill so went to the shop and had a free snack.

A job for Fred Dibna to bring this down as I can't see it having any other future.

It was travelling at some considerable speed. I think it was grey.

The dumbed down camouflage.
Shame on the person who identified it as Saab 45. That's an anti submarine torpedo, made by Saab.

Ooops my apologies!

I should have typed 35, does that make a difference?

Can I go onto Flightradar, and choose to look at planes flying yesterday afternoon? I am guessing that it was headed for the Midland Air show at Ragley Hall, Warwickshire.

Other side of the fence and then, after dinner, the accessible parts of the shed stain treated. The rest of shed is onstructed by water butts so those parts of the shed will have to wait for them to be emptied.
Washing brought in and found a lengthy bird dropping down a white t-shirt; binned.

I have been on, or is it in, a Swedish submarine. That was at the Maritime History Museum in Goteborg. https://www.maritiman.se/fartygsflottan/ubaten-nordkaparen
