Spotted in the wild—looks like fresh additions to Bristol Library! @WeirdBristol https://t.co/1YH4oGr26d
@WeirdBristol Made me happy to see. Confirmed that they’re brand new in; they were on the desk to have the labels pasted in the front!

Bye bye, Boston Tea Party in Clifton Village. I wonder if one day I'll be able to sit upstairs again, in whatever business takes over, staring idly out of the window and watching the busy zebra crossing on Regent Street. https://t.co/tuhhFwcPHd
There is a fire hydrant running from a 100mm diameter water main three metres in front of this sign. #notalotofpeopleknowthat https://t.co/ewIiBLchQj
@stillawake Some are imperial, some are metric, so for example this one is for a three-inch diameter pipe, 45 feet in front of the sign. https://t.co/Lm62Ow5nnr

@stillawake Thanks!
@RobLogan3 @stillawake Welcome! (As I understand it, it's the diameter of the water main the hydrant attaches to, which is important information for the fire brigade—the hydrant connectors themselves are the same standard size across the UK, I *think*.)
@tsunimee This is not unreasonable, especially since they stopped (usually) being an actual pair of things like they were when that name evolved. https://t.co/XqSE1zyZ8z
@tsunimee Though I'm old, so my app is called "On the Scales". But its target audience is other old fogeys who still measure their weight in stones and pounds, so I don't think that's a bad thing... https://t.co/V7xdkmNGqK
@tsunimee Yes! Though I recently changed to measuring in metric to get away from some of the guilty feeling about how much I weigh and not be able to compare it to my weight in the past 😂
@tsunimee I just round up to the nearest foot.

@Thehappyfatgirl Yur. Though mostly I need some un-excitement at the moment. NEEEEED SEEEEEEEEPS.
@Mouse_House It is. It's all going marvellously, so far.
@liveindetail They're coming tomorrow. Hopefully. *crosses fingers*

So. Up at 5am to catch flight, back a couple of timezones, and my lounge clock tells me it's currently twenty past nine. I'm confused.
@ahnlak I think its batteries certainly are...
@ahnlak Oooh, changing the subject, can you send me a referry link to a good stock site, like we've talked about in the past?
@ahnlak ...I'm going to take some of these holiday photos and try to make a start on stock.
@KaveyF Can you remember what date it was?
@KaveyF Have mix of RAW and JPG; we used my little camera for the food, I think. Hang on a mo.
I am having a glass of red wine. This may come as a surprise to some people.
@KaveyF Four minutes and what I've got'll be up in a web gallery, and we'll see if I've got everything, at least.

@KaveyF Hang on, grabbing everything else I can find.
@hayles I don't have bagels so much any more. Used to live in Gants Hill, near the awesome Bagel Bakery. Probably long gone :(
@hayles It's only since I left it that I realised how many advantages I had growing up in one of the biggest Jewish communities in the UK!
@KaveyF Cool. Refresh that page in the morning and they should all be there (damn nearly all there now, in fact.)
@hayles Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.
@hayles I remember scrounging early morning cream cheese bagels from the Bagel Bakery when coming come from clubs at early o'clock. #nomnom
@hayles Hmm. I may have to find somewhere closer than Costco to sell me a bagel or two :)
@hayles That's a long way out of my way for a bagel!
@hayles Yeah, but I have no storage space. Costco seems best if you have room to buy in bulk & store loads of stuff.
@hayles I mean, apart from the chock-full-already ones in the kitchen, I don't actually have any cupboards. At all.
@Whatleydude Being arrested builds character :)
Dear me, way too much to do, and way too little time to do it in. And much of the resources I need seem to be missing. And is LJ down?
