Picture(s) of the day....

[CitroJim]

A great picture Neil And a gorgeous car All the better for being in yellow!

Maybe just my eyes, it seems to have hints of Jensen Interceptor about it... And is that MK II Cortina front indicators and sidelights I see?

Here's a coincidence I saw one today, in poo brown, driving near the A-M heritage works

Neil

[Stickyfinger]

Squint at it !

[myglaren]

Stolen from autoshite, taken in Byker, Newcastle, about eight miles from me.
They look like Swedish number plates.

[bobins]

Rather astonishingly - it was still working like that
It was powering a little 1970s Briggs 3hp single cylinder

Even the Haynes BOL don't show them this bad ! - own work

I had another look in my cupboard of memories today to uncover these little chaps:

We used to race these for money!!

Cherry blossom appearing. It's a wonder as the pigeons have been feasting on the buds.

There's a Magnolia coming into flower too but just out of range for my lazy out of the window photography and I am too idle to go a hundred yards to get a proper picture. Maybe later.

[myglaren]

More cherry blossom.
Had to take this from inside the tunnel due to the sun*

Tunnel

Window

This is 'odd' This one is a dual pink/white but there doesn't appear to be any white.
All the trees around here have a little numbered plate on them. An arborist came around a couple of years ago identifying them and making a map and a note of their condition. Some need severe trimming to remove dead and diseased branches and some need hoiking out of the ground altogether. There are millions of trees in this area so will probably take years to complete.

An arborist, tree surgeon, or (less commonly) arboriculturist, is a professional in the practice of arboriculture, which is the cultivation, management, and study of individual trees, shrubs, vines, and other perennial woody plants in dendrology and horticulture.

*Sun. The thing that blinds you when taking photo's and lures you into a false sense of security until the washing machine is on its final spin, then makes way for the deluge.

My flowering cherry has gone past the blossom time now, not so much this year because I had all my trees pruned late in the autumn. my fruiting cherry they polled and I have a feeling it's not going to recover. Some blossom on the pear tree.

[mickthemaverick]

Don't fork out for expensive tree pruning, wait for this year's general election and then take them to the Polling Station

[myglaren]

The magnolia from over the green.
Fake magnolia, it's the wrong colour.

First cut of the year - made a slight error..

My Tandy calculator which must be best part of forty years old finally stopped working this morning, took the battery out popped to the shops got a card of 30 assorted batteries for a quid. All back up and running, that's the first time its had a new battery so there's a lot of spares going to be sitting in a drawer forever.

[Peter.N.]

I bought a card of this miscellaneous batteries from Trago Mills about 25 years ago and most of them still work!
