Brave soldier story & Cl30 Flyby!!

The media circus continues at the Pistorious trial

With the headline of "Gasps in court" the Sky Report reports how  the pictures of Reeva's body are shown.
Surely!!!!! this is not for international consumption! - - -
Why let emotions get in the way of a grisly story though! - - -



On the other hand I like the exposure of this story

This guy is shot in the neck by a sniper in Afghanistan  and thinking he only has a couple of minutes to live because his artery may have been cut he continues to support his comrades with his machine gun.
It turns out the bullet misses the artery and voice box and he eventually has to be "ordered" to be casevace'd  - -  -respect!!!!

Hey! spring is around the corner but dont be fooled it could snow tomorrow!
But this story from BBC Nature  says it all

A series of pics showing our UK spring emerging is not displayed more than this long tailed tit gathering bits for its nest!!!!

Lovely pics






Closer to home
The "Sport relief" weekend is almost upon us and in "the shop" the trend "to attend" is rather overpowering so as is my "want" I have decided to ignore it!!!!!

Our new garden furniture had another test drive after my shift today and the view from the Northern pergola is pretty spectacular

Here's the view looking South with a wonderful looking sky

I heard the "familiar" drone of the C130 and jumped up to snap this one cruising down the valley as we sipped a cool glass of white wine - - - how cool is that!!!!!
Enjoy the day
