Da Nang dragon bridge & Under the knife

Great pics of the Illuminated Dragon Bridge in Da Nang in Vietnam which has become a tourist attraction and helping some locals make a living





A far cry from the hideous helpings of pics from the US - Vietnam war! - - -








Not something I would pay to do but some of the pics in this story are fascinating.  Swimming with whales off the North East coast of Sri Lanka  -  - These Sperm whales are huge and i would imagine you would need a pretty good camera and very clear water or most of your pics would just be full of grey shapes - - -






Pushing the boundaries of Phone/Camera - - - Camera/Phone is the new Panasonic Lumix Camera Phone
The whole story revolves around the camera rather than the Phone - - - I think we are losing the plot really on some of these technology innovations


The great YES or NO vote looms closer and the Express devotes some of its front page to express "Outrage" at the "Bribes" being offered to Scots to stay in the Union









Where as the Mail highlights the nastier side of Scottish Nationalism - - - Its one of these "things" that a lot of English people don't realise go's on.  The amount of hatred against England/English is something to see and hear. - - - fingers crossed!?  - - -









Closer to Home
One of my filter pumps gave up the ghost the other day, it would run if you fiddled with it but only for 10 minutes at a time.  I ordered another on the net and as befits the usual efficient "supply chain" nowadays it arrived the day after i ordered it.
It pumps 2500 litres an hour which is not a great amount for filter pumps and i was surprised how small it was to begin with
So with it fitted, commissioned and with the fish swimming around it we decided to take advantage of the pleasant sunshine
We sat around chewing the fat on one of the pergola features.  We had "official confirmation" yesterday about recent forced modifications to the other pergola after our "transgression" with the planning man, so that's a concern out of the way.
We intend to "follow closely" at how long it takes the planning man to persuade our neighbour to modify his "transgression!"

Off to Derby today to be "under the knife" for my hand Op - - - lots of hanging around i guess but at least that will resolve one more issue! - - -

Enjoy the day
