Me and Mrs Smiffy took a trip up to Lancaster on Sunday to see eldest boy and lady in their new abode - took 'em out for Sunday lunch - a good old fashioned roast beef dinner with a mega-Yorkshire Pud involved ! Twas at the "Plough" in Galgate (just outside Lancaster), and then we "walked it off" with a trundle up the Lancaster Canal - some babycam pix ...
It looks like Hurricane Bernard (or whatever) appears to have hit Mossley and the surrounding areas - very very windy last night (tipped over the "top patio table and brolly" amongst other stuff) and very very windy today out in the postal jungle that is Oldham ... and believe it or not still very very windy when I got back to Mossley - a post-work "lemonade shandy" in an adjacent hostelry saw me watching the new floodlights at Seel Park "rocking a bit" (and wishing I had babycam to video same - don't take it to work - it's a weight thing !!) and praying that they'll still be upright tomorrow night for the game against Radcliffe Borough ...
Oh yes - the exclusive - you may (or may not) remember that last Friday we were off to Longsight for "free meal and natter" - well whilst driving down - in fact on the Denton roundabout above the M60 - I spotted this lorry with a strange payload - excuse the crap quality of the pic but:
a) I was driving at the time ...
b) I had to get babycam out of pocket, turn it on and zoom in a bit ...
c) ... whilst still driving at the time
Yes it's our local "rocketeer", Steve Bennett from Starchaser - I believe this is the "Skybolt" rocket (there's better pix on the website), but anyway ... it must have been going somewhere ...
Different eh ??
Still windy - and wet too - so work might be fun tomorrow - and football too !!
