I've been looking at the competition, but I've decided to stick with what I know and get a Pro account.
Can't be doing with the new year stuff, so here is yesterday again, now with pictures. Got to dash, daughter wants laptop and I'm a few drinks behind!
Coal not Dole

Woke up to one of those slushy days that are generally bad news for snowmen.
Decided on an outing to Snibston Discovery Park, the principal discovery we anticipated being the question of whether or not it had changed since the days when our older two were younger. Change it has - a bit. On the plus side there are child-friendly bits of kit such as lego, dressing up boxes and drawing stations among the more grown up exhibits. On the down side it took them 45 minutes to produce a baked potato - presumably the process involved uprooting and cleaning it as well as the more traditonal "baking"
The essence of the experience can be surmised from the location of the place: Coalville.
One of the new exhibits demonstrates 100 major technological innovations and invites us to ecide on the most significant. Those of you of the view that the modern world has a warped value system may care to look away now:
Other highlights:
The six wheel AEC Renown which nevers fails to excite me. Reasons for this are complex; don't be so keen to judge!
Also found several attractive young women in the fashion section. Judge all you want on this one; it's clearly reprehensible behaviour.
Happy New Year everyone. I for one won't be reeling around the fountain, but enjoy it if you are.
PS Just finished Peel biography, Margarve of the Marshes. Recommended.
Icecream, anyone?
