My local bus stop

I think the aliens know what they're doing when it comes to seeding grass. There's only 3 which I can see in that picture so I guess they're from quality control and all the workers have gone home. Good result too. Do you think I could get them to Devizes to do my back garden?

No bus stop pics today. Mrs Bealman went for a walk over the seacliff bridge for her birthday. Bit more scenic than the bus stop!

You spoil her! My wife would be sceptical if I sent or took her to a bridge on her birthday. She prefers flowers.

Happy Birthday to Mrs. B'. (Bit of a cheap present though - a walk on a bridge  ).

It may be just my mind but I also think that a walk across a bridge would sound better than over it. Especially when you say "over the seacliff".

Ahhh. Memories of the rides down to Clifton pub on the weekend, and the magnificent back verandah view over the ocean. Those were the days (1976(bona fide traveller), well before the bridge))!

Just my 2cents worth, but that part of the NSW coast is one of the nicest places you could find yourself.

It certainly looks like a lovely stretch of coastline. So why have they ruined the view by building that concrete monstrosity along it??

He replies, ignoring above post. 

Even though I've lived here a long time now, I am constantly amazed at the ability of the Australian climate to cause things to grow so quickly.

This is the same green from a few days ago:

Surely that's a brown? 

Talking of socks, Mrs. Railsquid was most delighted with the pack of Spongebob Squarepants socks I spontaneously bought her recently.

Thanks for the socks reminder! Spongebob Squarepants, eh? Cool!

Well, as threatened, here's me other pair of Queen happy socks:

Couldn't happen. She had bodyguards with her in the form of Bealettes 1 and 3, Bealette 3 having become very proficient at martial arts after her 18 months in Japan

Expensive lunch afterwards at the pub at the end of the bridge

Sounds like superb stocking fillers

Simples. The sandstone cliffs in this area are very susceptible to crumbling and rock falls are very common. The old road (which can just be made out in the photos) hugged the cliffs, was extremely tortuous to drive, and would often be blocked, and I believe there were fatalities.

Anyway, I don't reckon that the bridge looks bad at all - quite a graceful piece of engineering, I feel.

they use that bridge in a lot of tourism ads, always thought about driving round the coast from Melbourne to Brisbane, stopping a few nights here and there along the way. Congratulations to the missus on her birthday.

Bealman was woken up this morning by a lot of noise. It turned out they were removing a super-tall gumtree from a house down the hill.

All I can say is that the guy up the tree has no fear, no fear at all.

Bloody Spiderman.
