WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

Looks like you guys had fun David, love the oldskool bike

In Gosport we have the Royal Naval Hospital  - Royal Haslar.  Well we did, it opened in 1753 and closed down about 4 years ago. Today we were lucky enough to be shown around (unfortunately, just the outside).  Architecturally it is stunning, most of the bricks it is made from were made from clay dug out when they made the cellars.  So they dug the clay, shaped the bricks, sent them off to be fired and then built the hospital effectively from the ground it stands on.

It is forlorn and we are hoping that the plans they have to make it into residential accommodation come to fruition and pump some much needed love and blood into the buildings.  Of course, Gosport Council have been sitting around with their fingers up their arses for 2 years (because any decision is too hard), thereby allowing the fabric to disintegrate further.

Not much commentary, just pics….

Estimates vary but between and 8,000 and 60,000 bodies are reputed to be buried in this paddock…

This is one of the TB wards…

since i´m the only one at home who´s able to built shit with my hands (got 2 brothers (18 and 30) who doesn´t know how to hold a hammer the right way!) and since i still have way too much time on hand i thought that today was the perfect day to get back to building the new fence!

we had an old cyclone fence surrounding the lot, but it wasn´t doing it anymore, looked like shit and we always had people throw their garbage into the garden and also it was way too translucent, which isn´t too good living close to the main road!…

this right here is the part i already installed before winter kicked in:

so today i took down the remaining wooden parts!…

the old door, guess it´s like 15+years old (as you can see!):

and the other part of the fence:

after about an hour i was done with the new one:

cuz i didn´t had all the right parts to attach the hinges to the concrete pier, i still need to do the door tomorrow and then it´s back to painting the rest…

missing door:

…well that´s actually all i did today! ^^

Back home again after a 3 or so hour data center server/chassis migration. After 100% success whilst waiting, managed to get some free-play in! Not such a bad data center that has free games onsite.

Fucking hell I'm glad I don't have to deal with that/ those… I hate flying insects... Small planes as well...

[twin]

Seal this will be three times for me to deal with the 17 year cicadas. Thay make a lot of noise all day long.  ::)

[georgeel]

Nothing special. Taking bad pictures of my monitor.

[Snowy]

Really interesting in cicadas. We get them every year down here, some worse than others, but yearly. Was interesting reading to know that it's only every 17 years (their cycle) up there, and that there's 30 different groups/broods. This year is Brood_II http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brood_II
