They are digging up our road and laying Purple Pipes, backfilling as they go. Should be fun in about an hour as the SUV brigade collect their children from the school around the corner and try to navigate the pinch points.

Purple is usually used for data on the motorways, unless it's for telecomms, which I thought was black.

No one's stolen the bike.

It’s definitely Purple and quite large bore ( about 150mm ) going along our short road and around the corner into the estate.
There’s also rolls of smaller bore ( about 10mm). What’s strange is that they trenched and backfilled, but assuming the smaller bore stuff is for individual properties, I can’t see how they plan to access the fibre ( although there’s a small bore that’s been attached to the side of the Telegraph Pole a few metres from our house )

Lovely moon lit dog walk this morning , clear sky over night left a hoarfrost a few sections got a bit dicey.
The dog however looked to be trying to break the Westie land speed record. No wonder he's gone back to bed.

We got as far as the end of the road before she turned her piteous look on me. I said "do you want to go home" and she was off. Just about a mile covered.

It stopped raining just as I finished my walk

Starting to freeze though. This is where the fun starts as people get caught out by black ice.

I completed my commute along the hall in safety

Demand management so some twerp reached his target.
I understand your pain.
Very similar story to yours. Total **** wits. Replace the stars with a word of your choice the reflects your level of frustration with the system.

It was interesting how, because of COVID, they abandoned the block booking & all seemed to run well. They now seem to have reverted to their bad old ways.

Orange colour sunrise this morning and temp 0.4C and I notice much delay while cars getting defrosted .
My neighbour seems to have left his engine running to get the ice off the windscreen while he goes back inside for a while.
My memory for names has gone awol and I had to search a local directory to find the surname of somebody I know well. Not that important but not knowing was annoying me for ages.
Inevitably it began with a W so I had to search the whole alphabetical directory before finding it.
Fortunately it is not a very big directory and now a bit out of date.

They might be using dropwire/fibre rather than underground to each house. I've seen a few extra poles put up around here.

They back fill it so they can then dig it up again when they need to connect things up .

Morning .
Frosty here but we have bright sunshine and clear skies .
Feeling carp today . Woke up with a burning pain in my chest. Taking things easy today . Might just be the sausages in onion gravy fighting back .
