The nights are setting in at the bus stop.

Which is good, because hopefully it'll be nice Spring weather for my upcoming UK adventure!

jealous, would love to be on the York part of your adventures, still shouldn't complain I did get to TINGS last year.

We can compare notes, Graham.  :thumbsup:

Had to laugh just then. Bloke I know at club was putting his helmet on and going out to his pushbike.

I told him that it was raining, and he replied:

"I know, I can deal with it, not like you Poms"

Can't help but love Oz!  :beers:

Yep, nights setting in at the bus stop.

Our clocks change this coming weekend. Had to laugh on NPN's thread when @Malc said that the clock on his cooker would be the right time!  ;D

Meanwhile, in Sydney...

My daughter informs me that Woodpecker Railways in Pendle Hill had a visitor yesterday:

Great to see them with smiles on their dials.

Been my local model shop for more than 30 years....they never asked for a photo with me!

But did the 25 year old (as he still believes he is) customer buy anything and did they tell him to do his shirt up before entering the shop?

GrandBealmanly duties.

Bealman in a situation typical of each day lately.... daycare closed for school holidays, so it's Granddaddy daycare.

At least there's a beer on the table  :D

By the light of a MacDonalds moon...

Will that same moon shine on York, I wonder  ;)

The other night I got a message from an ex-student who now has kids of his own, asking me to solve a physics problem.

Being at the club at the time, I said I'd have a go at it.

Here is the pathetic attempt on a coaster with an empty beer glass. For a starters, that mg force is wrong -  tonnes are not SI units. I should have multiplied the acceleration due to gravity, g, by 6000, not 6!  :worried:

Beers and physics don't mix.  :no:

Agreed!  Please may I stay with the beer.  Still it's very nice to be contacted by an ex-student.

Best wishes
