Yesterday
Newbury fire station open day
All sorts of fire equipment on display, including: hydraulic platform, heavy rescue, water & animal rescue, couple of historic appliances.
Supported by police & PCSOs, lowland search and others.
West Berkshire Community First Responders there to give basic life support info, CPR and using defibrillators. Great that loads of kids wanted to learn CPR, although often not heavy enough to do compressions. An opportunity, too, to encourage adults to ensure their kids can call for help if needed.

Bought loads of new clothes for my holiday. I didn't want them as my current lot doesn't have sell by dates, but apparently we need new stuff to go on holiday with!

Mrs Dodgy and myself were at a loose end today, so thought we'd go to a riot, plenty to choose from and not too far away. So off to our local city we went. Someone had kindly kicked a wall down and had created the perfect missile stash to throw at whoever we fancied.
Full size bricks were a bit heavy, so I went for the half brick x 3. I recognised 2 or 3 heads who I weren't too fond of and with my cap and covid mask in place, I gave it my best. Miraculously, I hit my targets.
I later heard on the drive home listening to BBC radio, that Kier Starmer, Rishi Sunak and Ed Davey were all in need of medical attention, following a missile attact, thrown from an angry minority in one of our city centres on Saturday afternoon.
A good day was had.
Frogs up I hope

Careful now. There's rules about sledgehammer porn.
I've got one and a couple of 'wood grenades' if anyone has any pics to trade. No pickaxes thanks.

It actually needs to be heard on a hefty sound system. The bass propels the song along relentlessly.

Good old Tony Levin. The man is a groove machine.

Painted a second coat on the spare room ceiling and a mist cost on the virgin plaster wall.
No sledgehammers or slipped discs were involved, thankfully

Famously (to those in the industry, anyway), edited on a Quantel system (probably a 'Harry') - that I'd been involved (cough with a few hundred other people) designing and building.

Would be easier if you had the hat.
