We have taken the looney dog on the pier for the last time

He just goes berserk...guess its rats

@gonzoany decent chippies for takeaway 

I know its cock, but its a tradition isnt it

Break the mould mate.

Well, I won't miss the bastard wasps.

Loads of them about on Sunday.

They can go to sleep now.

If you are around late enough its the fireworks championships too. Indias turn this week. It gets absolutely packed. Starts at 8:30pm. Its ace.

If you're Bispham end, the best chippy is Bentleys (formerly middle chippy). It's 5 mins walk down Red Bank Rd away from the promenade opposite Sainsburys. Or you can just go for Bispham Kitchen & Top Chippy. More expensive and a tourist trap but its handy all the same.

 

If you are town end, The Yorkshire Fishery on Topping Street is the best by a mile. Again its a bit of a walk inland towards the train station. If you want it easier theres a new all singing and dancing Papas and of course my namesakes, plus a variety of walk by street ones.

Bellamys not Bentleys *

Been beautiful on Anglesey today. Clear blue skies and sun. Not that I've seen much of it. Supposed to piss down tomorrow when I have the chance to enjoy some fresh air. Cunt.

This 20mph speed limit malarkey will take some getting used to for the locals. Good news for us kerb crawlers though. Far less conspicuous.

Was a stunning autumn day today.

Some decent weather after tomorrow though.

Quality. 

Bloody love days like today, blew the cobwebs away with a nice walk with the family and pooch up round Anglezark and Rivi.

Was busy though and too many folk with dogs off the lead that shouldn't be as they clearly weren't under control no matter how friendly they supposedly are.

parked up at cleveleys yesterday

lovely late afternoon

couple of hours with the pooch pretending to be a pup and he didnt realise the water level can drop sharpish when chasing gulls in the pools

there's seemingly fortunes being spent on the roads up there @gonzo and not a turd to be seen

loads spent on the prom too

even the wind farm doesnt look too bad

that artworks a bit dodgy tho, with a lump sticking out at head height!

loaded the doggo up and drove into blackpool to see the lights

 

20 mins was enough

looks great all lit up, but the folk, its not for me

 

Currently in Teesdale. Gets wet later in the week, but it's bright, cold and crisp.

Frost on the car other morning, feeling it now

Glad you had a goodn. So nice up there isnt it. Well worth the 138 year wait for it to be finished

Dont tell anyone how nice it is, we dont want that riff raff from further down

I like the word goodn 

I’m adding that to my newspeak dictionary 

This is where I collectively hate the people who moaned about the heat we get for about 2 weeks a year for a good few days.

Im not sure if the tide goes out any further but i bet there were 30 humans, inc me in that, 20 dogs and mile upon mile of sand

Cinema looks a bit lost and the pub on the front, cleveleys beer festival, looked desolate

Sadly, it needs the riff raff to find out

 

Is rossall just a bit further up?

Yeah its further up on the way to Fleetwood. That's my gym next door to that cinema.  

That pub has had various attempts but all seem to fail. Longest standing was when it was Harvesters. Its just fucked in the winter, nobody is going up there for a pint in 50mph wind and rain. God knows what they'll try next.

I never get bored of that beach and front. So good for the lungs and soul. Tide goes miles out and comes all way back in twice a day, very roughly an hour later each time.

Took them a few years to sort that section near Anchorsholme Park but it’s a belting ride now on the bike from Fleetwood all the way to St Anne’s and back

Dad always parked us up at rossall

Mustve been for a year or 2 before he started taking me to the match

It really is a cracking spot

Youre lucky having it

Bit moist in Scotland.

The Wild swimmers will still be complaining of CSO spills tomorrow 

Venturing to the Tees shortly. 

Its wet and warm - the garden is loving it, best it's looked all year - candytuffs and marigolds going crazy in the wildflower lawn.

Bulb planting at the weekend.

Greater Manchester rain/snow shield still holding

Croal and t’irwell are a bit high but nothing of concern.

Sacked off our walk along the Tees- River not particularly high, although rising, but there are plenty of pieces of tree all over. 

Discretion perhaps required as there are some massive trees around here and it's blowing a hooley.

29 degrees but a bit patchy on the cloud front today in Costa Teguise.
