If you are all in lockdown, there may be less pollution in the air.

If you are all in lockdown, there may be less pollution in the air.

We are in a bizarre "State of Emergency" which gives the government powers to request really really nicely that people stay at home as much as possible (which I am following because I can and I had viral pneumonia once a long time ago and don't want to risk getting something similar while other people are hogging all the ventilators), but said structure is visible from a nearby park in normal conditions so I don't think it's that.

Has somebody cleaned the window?

Mrs Railsquid has finally given you the right sort of mushrooms to eat?

I'm with him above. Pollution levels are plummeting. We're fairly remote from major population centres, and even we think the airs cleaner than it's been in a long time.

It won't last.

Easter + fine and warm weather = BBQ's + burnt bangers and burgers = pollution back up to normal toxic levels by Monday night.

@railsquid is the colour changing somehow advising of the lock down or does it always do that?
I see a 1/700 scale model is available, you could always get one for the layout and light it up with LEDs

Never did get up that Skytree on my trip. But I didn't get to Tokyo Disneyland, either 

Did get up the Kyoto one on a nice clear day though.

The cold light of day reveals why I never noticed the damn thing before, amongst all the other visible vertical distractions:



It's also in a direction I don't normally look in (blinds usually down on those windows at night) and the normal illuminations don't really stand out at this distance.

Photo was taken in the afternoon, when the sky is a bit hazier and the sun not the best angle, it was a bit clearer in the morning.

I'll take your word for it.... all I can see is sky, but no tree!

Get a grip, man. There's a huge red arrow directly above it, how much more of a clue do you need? 

[Trainfish]

You beat me to it, I was just about to say the same thing. It's not often you see a big red arrow in the sky so surely you looked below it previously? Obviously not

Yiippee 

I've got a new job and I've handed in my notice today. I currently work for Capit as a Field Service Engineer looking after the Control Room systems and Communications for the Emergency Services and on the 1st June I start with South Western Ambulance Service Trust as a Radio & Data Systems Engineer.

I've been with Capita/Sungard/Vivista for 12 1/2 years, but now is the right time to move on to pastures new and when you get told "Apply for the job & it's pretty much yours" by the person who's going to be my new Boss, well it'd be rude not to take it on 

Only downside is I lose my Company Car and have to now buy my own, which means for the 1st time in 12 1/2 years I've got to Tax, Insure and put my own fuel into a car. Ahh well can't have everything.

Just thought I'd share that 

Regards

Neal.

Well done that man.  Hopefully you will be earning a bit extra so that you can afford a car.
