Hooray - a man after my own heart

Why put nice old cars on a ramp going up a wall ?

The redheaded hoover even commented on the stupidity of railing off a car , but opening its back door when you couldn't actually see inside because it was too dark !!

Now when a 16yr old says that - it says a lot.

It's taken the best part of 30 years to get the Moulton on display - so why put them where you can't see them . AND the floor plan shows a velodrome - it doesn't say it's 20 feet in the air !!

OOOOOOOH I'm going to enjoy filling in the comments form

taken today - and I'm disappointed

I'll go back another time and try and get better pics.

I do need the tripod I suspect for some of them

1) the photographer caught unawares

2) the Pederson bike

Matt - total agreement .

Our transport museum used to be child friendly - but for pities sake - why hang bikes from a rail from the ceiling and call it a Velodrome ??

Grrrh

Still he enjoyed tonight's meal and the Wine that went with it

Oh I'm enjoying educating him about booze

well - we got to the much publicised Riverside Museum - still to look at the pics

It's a flipping disaster

The floor plans show a velodrome for the bikes - but what they don't say is that said Velodrome is suspended from the roof and waaaaaaay above your head and the bikes are upside down , or at silly angles as if they were being ridden round the track

Not only that, there's no way to identify these bikes [ there's a Pedersen there as well as 3 Moultons ] but if you didn't know what they are you wouldn't know as there's no ID at ground level.

I did want a pic of the Hoover's Mother's and Aunt's bike [ they both learned on it ] and the label saying given by xxxxxxx

BAH - still beer has now been consumed

The ' hoover ' is on weed removal detail - he's done really really well so far .

After this we are heading for Tesco and a little alcohol education - the variety of 'what to avoid'

Then I'll put a new card in the P70 for him [ he has an iTouch with a camera ] and we'll go and get a look at the Riverside Museum [ hopefully everyone else will be going to look at the Tall Ships ]

Could be

He's now headed into Glasgow to have a chance to orientate himself . His bus ticket for a week has cost me the grand sum of £5 !! So I'll make sure he makes good use of it

Weeding is being done rapidly and pretty thoroughly - 3/4 of the front garden is done - great improvement

The labourer is worthy of his hire

So far all the fridge has lost [ apart from meal type food ] is some bread , butter Orange juice and a can of coke !!

I'm a bit worried - this seems out of character for a teenager .

He's now hard at work on the weeds

Well at least it's dry again - I'm off to get the 16yr old red headed fridge hoover.

No SMSs from him to say they are running late so he's either

1) on time

or

2) didn't open my email so he hasn't got my phone number

Take that back - just got an SMS saying they have just passed the Border - going to be a bit late I think

I've been stunned at the difference I get using RAW and Aperture - don't know if it's because I'm a better 'shooter' now, or it really is because I now shoot RAW.

Yes I do 'tweak' them - but my piccies are no longer flat - they have more life in them .

All I can say is - have a go , you may find you've gained a lot , but unless you try it you won't know

Now you can get Aperture from the App store it's no longer the nasty shock it was - the trial may well convince you - so go on - you know you want to - have a go
