SHORT BACK AND SIDES...
The farmer has been out trimming the hedgerow on The High Lane over the past few days.
NEAT!
BLOCKY THERAPY...
I love these big building block kits for their cleanliness, their ingenuity, and the fact that you can put them down and pick them up again at any point.
LET'S A-GO!
NICK PARK'S MARK...
And Gromit's paw print.
Sold out everywhere, I bought a copy via eBay. Described three times in the listing as SIGNED, it turned up UNSIGNED. Return initiated, negative feedback forthcoming.
Attempt #2 with a different seller was successful.
CRACKING!
NARY A RIPPLE...
On the surface of the sea tonight at Machynys.
I was not so calm after I had spent 45 minutes trying to catch Colin because he didn't want to go home.
GRRRRRRR...
AUTUMNAL SCARY TREE...
During High Lane WALKIES earlier.
It's cold and dry here tonight for those celebrating Bonfire Night.

Forget all the huge supermarkets and their mawkish Christmas adverts, this was the best Christmas advert - Enniskillen pub Charlie's put out this advert back in 2023. It’s brilliant.
DOCTOR IN THE HOUSE...
Not to point the finger, but the miscreant who is the reason why I bought this carpet cleaning machine is clearly visible in the picture.
BLESS HIM! 😁

Trump will REMAIN President, but what he CAN'T do now:
1. *Can't pass any law:*
Needs Parliament. With Democrats at 90, all his bills will be blocked.
2. *Can't get money:*
Parliament controls the budget. No funding for his MAGA projects, Wall etc.
3. *Faces Impeachment Risk:* Democrats can start investigations and even move impeachment.
4. *Can't appoint Judges/Officials freely:* Senate will block his picks.
5. *Can't do big foreign deals:*
Trade deals, war funding needs Parliament nod.
In short: He will stay in the White House, sign Executive Orders, but Parliament and Courts can overturn them.
He becomes a *Lame Duck President* - President in name, powerless in reality.

THE INSPIRATION FOR THE D.M.D.C. (Duncan's Mini Detectorists Characters).
I'm re-watching 'Life on Mars' and I've got to E5 of S 2 which opens with an homage to the 1970's children's stop-motion series 'Camberwick Green'. Sam Tyler, Gene Hunt and a bad guy are puppets!
1/3
When I first saw this many years ago it inspired me to make copies of the puppets because I loved the concept so much.
Then thought "If 'Life on Mars' live action characters can be represented by cute little puppets, then why not 'detectorists' characters?".

SHEPHERD'S DELIGHT...
Over Llanelli tonight.
We're having a run of really lovely sunsets at the moment.
SLIP SLIDIN' AWAY...
Or at least Virgil would be if I had built the entire chute system and a puppet-scale Thunderbird 2 for him to slip into.
As it is, he'll have to be content with being propped up by the rocket painting from the Tracy lounge.
COMMISSION COMPLETED.
ARNIE-DALEK...
Just when you thought that the T-800 Terminator couldn't get any more terrifying!
Sections 91 to 94 of the Hachette 1:2 scale partworks Dalek now complete.
😁
