mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 As mentioned in another thread the cheque is in the post :mrhappy: I took these shots on my way to the post office this morning (Yes, we still have one!) A bit of commentary included First stop the South Pond I woke these guys up! A view over to the Palace Ruin, doesn't look so good here as I'm shooting into the sun. This one is quite simply called "Fag Butt" this sort of thing annoys me because a) obviously it was discarded with no attempt to extinguish it and :sad: I don't smoke /RANT! This is some excavation the council are carrying out to take the flood waters away from the pond and into the river. Approaching the "Palace" Not that way, it's a nice walk down there though. Checking the address (I hope posty can read this!) Another look into the grounds of the Palace. Into the town square What else would it be called! Check out the time Martin I expect you're still snoring! My destination. My purpose! Back over the North pond Ok point taken Don't do it Swan, it can't be that bad! You've heard of a DA well this is a SA ! I took a movie of him too! I talked him around, now he can cope with being a Swan The bit that doesn't feature in the towns advertising. For every one big house they knock down they can shoehorn in 30 apartments. The old railway branch line, another nice walk. Local vets, I was walking up hill which is why it looks a bit strange. This is the road next to mine, ironic really Looking out from the end of our road. The bowling green, I can hear the clop clop of the bowls when sat in my garden on a nice day! Just look at the pollen on the bonnet of my car. Well there you are back home and up to my PC to post these. Hope you enjoyed and Martin as you saw the letter was being collected at 11 am it would be interesting to know when it arrives!. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
mulletman 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 What a fantastic place to live! Maybe you could start a trend here...post pictures of your local surroundings? Love the name of the road next to yours. Kind of scary really! :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Thanks Fred! These were the better views, I forgot about the name of that road until I walked past it! If anyone wants to add a picture of where you live to this post, feel free :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 As Fred said (that rhymes) what an fantastic place you live Mut, I am jealous living in the city. :mrhappy: Excuse my ignorance, but what was that ruined palace? And guess what, I was awake when you posted it, Dan and I were delivering Katy's papers, she's to lazy so we end up doing it and giving her the money. I must be bonkers, but to be honest, she's such a pain when she does it we are better off on our own. :sad: I may be a city boy but I do have a whopping pond opposite my house you know. I'll try and take some pics in a bit. P.S. Hope you don’t suffer from hay fever with all that pollen around. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Martin, I was reaching for the allergy relief when I got home hence the comment! Don't normally suffer too much but the tree pollen does it for me, specially Silver Birch :mrhappy: It is nice here but I guess we just get used to where we live and forget how it may look to someone else. More information on the Ruined Palace here Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Looks like a beautiful place to live - if the climate was a little more to my taste it'd be an awesome holiday destination! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Too hot for you Joe ? :mrhappy: It's been in the middle 20's for the past week, not bad for April. Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Hehe, not quite! Let me know what temperature it reaches in July! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 They reckon it will reach 38+ this year. That's not to say we get that every day but I guess around 28 would be average in summer where I live. Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Interesting - I had no idea it got around those temps. We usually get into the high 30s and low 40s - and humidity doesn't help! Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 Well I live on the South coast where a lot of our weather can come from Europe or even jetsteam in from Northern Africa. Further up north in the "Black country" where Uncle Martin lives it barely gets above freezing, that's what I've heard. :mrhappy: I few years ago I'm sure I never used to get so hot, perhaps it's my age, Uncle Martin will be able to tell you about that. Like you say it's the humidity that is a killer, we have three fine days and a thunderstorm then summer's over! Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
JoeEllwood 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 If only we had the thunderstorm side of it. We tend to get a cloudy day which follows the humid and hot ones but no rain. The other day we took a trip up to one of Canberra's water supply dams - it's honestly very sad to see how much water is in there. Aussies here so much about the drought we are going through but it's only when you drive through the country or have a look at a dam and you see for yourself how bad it is. Anyway, apologies for getting off topic! Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted April 22, 2007 Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 38+ this year. Where did you hear that Mut? Reminds me of 1976, do you remember the temperatures on the centre court at Wimbledon? Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 22, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 22, 2007 They reckon this summer will be hotter then last beating the highest recorder temperature. I will try and find out where I saw that :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 "Black country" where Uncle Martin lives it barely gets above freezing, that's what I've heard. :mrhappy: Just spotted that. How many times do I have to tell you, I'm posh!!! Don't believe a word of the high temperature thing Mut. How can they predict something as chaotic as weather that far in advance. It's another one of the predictions we bet every year, rarely right. Link to post Share on other sites
mutley 4,498 Posted April 23, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 He he, I didn't say I believed it. But sometimes they say we are going to get unseasonal temperatures like recently, giving you the exact temperature and they are usually spot on. How does that work then? Lets have have a review in the Autumn and see what really happened :mrhappy: Link to post Share on other sites
MartinW 0 Posted April 23, 2007 Report Share Posted April 23, 2007 Yes but you said '38+ this year' that implies well in advance. When they predict un-seasonal temps it's usually sooner. Not saying it's wrong, but just can't see how they can predict well into the summer. All it takes is for Mutley's wind to stir up and he lets go an almighty fart and the weather changes globally, even hurricanes tornados and cyclones, probably earthquakes as well. :rofl Wouldn't be surprised if it were hot though with global warming.
