Are ants flying ? It's just that I can see a load of gulls circling in a small area .

If they are circling in a tight area they are probably riding thermals to gain altitude to save energy when flying so that they can glide.

Or they have spotted food on the ground.

More random circle, catching insects.

I was thinking along this line, vehiclewise

Try the Osh Kosh LCTV, a bit higher quality.

Rushing in and out. Back from work, and now getting ready to catch the Bus, train; train; train; tram; and bus again.

This journey is much less stressful when I have a bike with me.

On the other hand, I get to see Beautiful Daughter and I'll be returning with the Xtracycle, so I can carry the overambitious projects I've got planned I mean the shopping more easily from next week...

Warm, humid and intermittently sunny here chez Casa Reynard.

The lightbulb change on the car didn't go entirely to plan. Did the sidelight on the driver side, but when doing the low beam on the passenger side, and hampered by the tiny, cramped space you're given to work in thanks to the battery and plumbing, the bulb squirted out of my fingers and into the bowels of the engine bay, never to be seen again.

I will have to go to the garage after lunch for another one.

Today's theme in the photography challenge is "Creativity"

Some lockdown art (you may recognise the odd one in there) and the WIP of the Tyrrell.

When I had my KA I was in Halfords getting a bulb changed, I'd managed to change the first bulb that went and wasn't going to attempt to change the second one, but I heard the Halfords fella tell the driver of a 4 wheel drive he would have to go to the dealer to get his bulb changed as it needed too much dismantling for Halfords to do it.

I did need to take the battery cover off, but that's easy. But even with that off, there's only a couple of inches of clearance to get your hands in there. But note to self. I shall be using a dust sheet to plug the hole down which the first bulb fell. And all the other nearby holes as well.

On the flip side, the bulb in question from the garage is half the price of what I paid in the spares place t'other day.

Yes. They had a list of ones which said do not attempt. It was a shame they told me about the list afterwards . Working on a Vauxhall Astra the bulb slipped out of my fingers and into the headlight . Halfords paid a garage to complete the job .
It was surprising despite the number of tools Halfords sold we didn't have the tools to get us out of a jam .
Some welding wire and something sticky would have retrieved the bulb .

It sounds like Halfords are as good with cars as they are with bikes. With the first bulb that blew on my old KA I changed the bulb but discovered that my hands were too big, finished the job with multiple lumps out of my knuckles, after that I decided to leave the fitting to someone else.

Anyways, off on Wiggy #2 to the garage.

I'm just leaving Blackburn hospital after having an X-ray on my right hip/leg. From parking up to now leaving it's only taken 25 minutes!! That's got to be a record for my shortest hospital appointment!!👍
