And where were you at 15:22 UTC?

Probably swearing at this bike.

Traffic light failure in Oban at the road into the main shopping area with car parks. Chaos and gridlock for miles.
The Press and Journal newspaper runs this story illustrated with a photograph of a street with lots of cars. Where this was taken goodness knows but certainly not Oban.
I believe nothing in newspapers anyway. I was Press Officer for an local amenity group and some of the stories they invented from my press releases were fantastical. I always had copies of anything I sent out to demonstrate to other committee members that I was not the guilty party.

Now leaving Leeds station having travelled through yet more grey, damp & misty countryside from York.
Has someone designated grey as the official county colour of Yorkshire?

That'd be Pantone 300cc.
Something which is now in use on the latest Scottish Flag, with a white saltire.
Replace the "a" and you end up with Saltaire, which is a town in West Yorkshire.

Lovely supper of Turkish eggs, triple cooked chips and braised red cabbage.

My recycling bin hasn't been emptied. I put it out before heading off on Sunday morning and came back this afternoon to find it where I left it and still full. None of the neighbours' bins are still out so it's not a missed day and it was the recycling collection week - I've checked. Strong tutting in the general direction of East Suffolk council and their outsourced collection company.

I've never had a garden and I'm a pretty ignorant about trees but should this tree be blossoming now, before it's even dropped its autumn leaves?

Looks like the one we have, haven't a clue what it is, but it seems to bloom on & off most of the year.

It was under a fir originally, but really 'blossomed' when we had the fir down.

It's our official welcome for outsiders. We turn it to nice and sunny when you're not here

And if you're at the O2 in Leeds I'm based opposite you

Next Thursday - Yard Act.
Did see the University when I found the O2 and knew someone on here worked there but couldn't remember who.

Someone's been listening to me on my early morning dog walks.

Mine's just about to go out, after I've walked the dog.

I hate football, but someone else doesn't.

But at least she doesn't complain how bad I am.
