WHAT ATTRACTED YOUR ATTENTION TODAY?

[Marilyn]

Are you sure...hmmmm.
02022020
I thought it had to have ONE central number, but I shall eagerly stand corrected...for example 4321234.
( I whimper as I say that...I am bound to be wrong...and will likely cop the wrath of many. Please spare me. I am but a peasant!)

[Stanley]

You could be in a minority here Maz....

[Marilyn]

So be it. We need a verdict..
I cannot live with “ifs and buts”. ( I have slight OCD tendencies and need clarification)

[Big Kev]

Dictionary definition says it just has to read the same in both directions...

[plaques]

I agree with Kev. The number 1111 is a palindrome. (four digits) otherwise in your system there could only be an odd number of digits in the sequence to make a palindrome.

[Tizer]

You have to wait for 21 12 2112 for the next one.

[Tripps]

I call two of my grandaughters 'my little palindromes' since both their names are such.

[Stanley]

If they are both called Such how do you distinguish between them?

[Cathy]

Stanley, was that a Dad Joke?

[Stanley]

Could be Cathy but I am genuinely puzzled. Perhaps David will elucidate.

[Wendyf]

I'm guessing at Anna and Eve.

[Stanley]

That sounds like an answer!

[Tripps]

If they are both called Such how do you distinguish between them?

Left myself open to that didn't I?

Wendyf is correct. (as usual). And in the correct order too.

[Stanley]

You did David...
The fact I managed 6 hours sleep. A miracle.

Pairs of photos showing before and after scenes...
`The changing industrial landscape of Britain' LINK
`John Davies is an influential British landscape photographer who has been photographing Britain's industrial heritage since the early 1980s. Davies has documented both rural and urban locations associated with industries such as coal mining, textiles, shipping and steel. Working in black and white and from an elevated viewpoint, his images reveal the infrastructure of railways, roads, canals and rivers which the industries relied on...'.

Wonderful link Tiz. The power of the before and after pic in monochrome. No distractions, just straight comparison.
I've sent the link to Daniel.

[Tizer]

The cloudscapes are very impressive in monochrome.

[Stanley]

Daniel says he knows the work and sends John a Xmas card every year. He gets one back and it is always a hand print of one of his pics so he has quite a collection now!
You're right about B&W pics. No colour to distract the eye and confuse you.

[Big Kev]

Demolition has started on the old vicarage/Masonic lodge, there's uproar in Facebook land.

Everyone is saying it shouldn't be knocked down and 'someone else' should pay to renovate it, I'm not sure who this 'someone else' is. The place is riddled with damp and rot, I don't think there's much else they could have done.

[Stanley]

I wonder if they will find any trace of the garden railway and its well.

[Stanley]

Philip Schofield... Does anybody care? Did his wife agree to let him mention her in those terms? Sorry, cringe-making.

[Stanley]

Stair rod rain and high wind. That's going to be today's story!
A bit later... A tiny noise alerted me to the fact that I had water leaking in above my kitchen window. First time in almost 30 years! The wind is driving the heavy rain on to the back wall of the house and water is running down the exterior of the wall in sheets. There must be a crack in the pointing of the window head. (Cracks Tiz! Spooky!) Not serious and when we have better weather I'll get my men in to re-point the joint above the lintel. Demonstrates how exceptional this rain is.

[Tizer]

Thank goodness the company repaired the seals on our porch door a few weeks ago. We'd have had a porch full of water now!

`Your pictures on the theme of 'paths'' LINK
I particularly like the Offa's Dyke and Cape Verde photos.

[Cathy]

Here’s something you don’t want to find after heavy rains. Found by a customer in a Brisbane supermarket after a night of heavy rain.
She opted for a basket instead.
