Well, there’s Flashback Friday [is there? – Ed.] and Throwback Thursday, so why not Memory Monday?
Easy way to slip a quota photo in while I’m out hunting swimming with dolphins in the Indian Ocean. And since I’m writing this on Father’s Day (dolphins having comprehensively failed to invent wifi yet), here’s one of of my dad.
A belated Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there.
And for more up to date photos, maybe check out my Instagram…
Tweeted yesterday, blogged here for longevity today.
Lovely stuff from Nike. And featuring Sheffield – as a typically grey, gritty, run-down Northern town – as well.
I enjoyed this.
Trouble is, it keeps happening to me. Every time I get to the top of my game, I seem to bang heads with someone really average and I have to start over again.
Still, my concussion loyalty card at the local A&E department is filling up nicely. Two more visits and I get a free MRI scan.
Dam level figures released today for Cape Town’s ‘Big 6’ indicate that we’re 0.4% worse off than we were this time last week, teetering once again just above the magical 30% ‘CRITICAL‘ level, below which nothing actually changes.
Oh then, to be in Sheffield (as I was a couple of weeks ago) where the dams are just about as full as they can be:
That total of 10,410,000,000 gallons is equal to 47,324,796,900 litres, in case you were wondering.
And what does a dam that’s 98% full look like? Like this.
And what does the other side of the wall look like when the dam is 100.1% full? Like this.
You know, I rather fancy that we are.
It’s taken a while, but it does seem that the photos from my Bergen/Sheffield trip are up on Flickr. There are a few from the actual concert (mainly taken by Mrs 6000’s S6 because I was was otherwise engrossed), a few more from the trip along the fjords, and one or two additional images of beautiful Bergen.
And then a few of Sheffield as well, perhaps without the drama of Norway, but where spring was springing and there were still decent shots to be had.
This one is one of those best viewed bigger and on black.
There are individual sets for each bit of the trip, but you can have a general look see on the May 2016 trip collection page on Flickr and go from there.
Time to head home. Seeing family and friends in Sheffield has been wonderful, but there is a wife, some kids and a damn beagle to tend to back in Cape Town.
It’s been an odd time. It seems to have flown by, packed with concerts, tourist stuff, appointments, tasks and pretty much no beagles. And yet it seems like an age since I left South Africa.
There was time to grab one last quick pic of a Sheffield institution in our way to the station.
Next time I’m over (whenever that may be) the old Hendos factory will have been sympathetically converted into a student pub, complete with Hendo’s inspired drinks.
I’ll obviously have to give it a go. Obviously.
