I appreciate why they are moving, the old site is no longer ideal for lots of reasons. I am going to miss the cranes though, especially when they are lit up at Christmas.
So if any #DrWho fans want to get a selfie at this iconic location (from the safety of the public footpath) you have until 2022 to do it! That should give us long enough WTIAO.
Important additional information for #DrWho fans who also like @WimpyUK *. The cranes are about a mile from a Wimpy (and there is a pretty walking path). Your day out dinner is sorted!
Just make sure you go before 2022!
I heard in the ether that there was a Facebook group called "Christans Against Dinosaurs". So, I searched for it out of morbid curiosity. Please join me on a tour of the oryctodromeus hole I fell down. First, what I understand is the OG group.🧵 1/15
In response to the Christian threat the Dinosaurs have formed their own Facebook Group. Apparently the Dinosaurs outnumber the Christians 4:1. I am concerned that there may not be enough Christians to feed all the Dinosaurs. Hopefully, most of them are herbivores. 2/15
The Battle Royale is now in progress! Move over lions. The Christians have a new adversary entering the arena! The Raptor Resistance. 3/15
This has reminded me of a tale, passed down through three generations of my family, about a weapons test that went humorously wrong. (Although not as spectacularly as the Panjandrum.)
My Grandfather Graham Lee was one of the scientists working on the Bouncing Bomb with Barnes Wallis (whatever the film might suggest, Wallis didn't do it all himself). He was a chemist specialising in explosives and furzes.
Here he is with my Grandma, Dad and Auntie Ann.
During the time when they were testing & training at Ladybower Reservoir in Derbyshire, they had to ensure each dummy bomb was confirmed at the bottom of the reservoir or recovered at dawn. This was to ensure enemy espionage did not get wind of the design or the plan of attack.
As we once more restrict our movement to help save lives, here is a reminder of the deities in the Idol Scribblings pantheon who can help us get through this.
A worshipper of Sloth can flick through all 999 television channels like a Catholic prays their way around the rosary. idolscribblings.blog/2020/03/29/slo…

(I am always impressed that Buttercup pushes The Man in Black off Carl Wark so hard that he lands nine miles away in Cave Dale. That's a good angry shove you've got there girl.)
Anyway back to the holiday.
Played a bit of Historic Graveyard Bingo in Castleton.
I scored for, "The stonemason accidentally ran out of space".
