...in summer-time, whether to my friends, or to the public." William Cowper, 1785 (Buckinghamshire) I saw cirrus clouds out my window tonight, and then a sundog, and I couldn't resist... A sign of good weather to come, I believe... Or maybe it's a sun god ? Study of guttering, with some clouds in the background... And then the last hoorah. Byslantedlight, 2009 (Cambs.)

... lots of good people and tutors seemed pleased. the pub was super depressing but by the end we all had a soft spot for it i think. taking it down tomorrow except fingers crossed ill be in cambs seeing morrissey. -must've been something else? things with lucia are really really good. i feel like we're really settling into something now which is really nice. might meet her mum later. and last night...

Transport stuff

... bus service. Ish. See, at the moment, Arriva The Shires run some journeys on the 90/91/92 (under contract to Herts CC) six days a week. From Hitchin, Letchworth, Baldock, Ashwell, crossing the Herts-Cambs boundary to Steeple Morden & Guilden Morden. It used to continue to Royston via Bassingbourn, but that bit is now covered by Allan’s 127 . I mentioned it’s up for tender, and the new service ...

Wootten’s first day of Tiger Line T1 (Monday 28th July) – Part Two, Sample The Tigers

Part two of a two-part series Yes, it’s been a while since I spent the day (well, a morning) sampling all vehicles on a new route – in fact, not since the launch of X-City Direct back in Dundee during October 2005. This was, however, a little different. As someone who remembers the buses (see part one) while up north, I felt old when they were rebodied. Now, of course, I feel totally bionic, ...

More transport randomness

8. Woottens of Chesham are to start their first venture in local buses a week on Monday, with the launch of Tiger Line T1 from Hemel Hempstead to Aylesbury via Chesham. The reason for the name? The company are to use a series of former Strathtay East Lancs Myllenium rebodied Leyland Tigers… 9. You lot should know by now that I like to get value for money when it comes to travelling, but ...

On the road

Now on the 590, and we've just changed coaches at Glasgow. Heading south to Milton Keynes on this coach, then changing there (if all goes well) to the X5 (plan is that I will get off at Madingley Road Park & Ride, and C will pick me up from there). I might try and catch up on some sleep, we shall see. Had my second dose of painkillers/paracetemol to try and keep this cold away (I cannot have any...

Our Saturday so far

After the post arrived (letter confirming that no more sick notes will be required after my medical exam last Wednesday… that helps administration I guess, but don’t write me off just yet!), the two of us went out to The Galleria at Hatfield once more, by car this time (£2.00 parking all day at the weekend, good idea when less buses are running!). Caroline had outspent me in the first few stores ...

Birthday so far

I’m having a good, if quiet, time of it today so far. So, time for a ten-pointer. 1. The post came, and I’ve had a fair handful of cards. Thanks to Paul H & Matt, Jayne A & Jim, my family (and the animals!) 2. Thanks to everyone who has sent online wishes and text messages – including Jenni A , who sent me a lovely online greeting! 3. Caroline came home for lunch, and cooked for me too! 4....
