The depression hits home?

Well it looks like even the super strong line of work that I am in is also starting to become affected by the slow economy over here. Last friday we had only one job, and today on monday we had only one job. It looks like this may continue for a while as well. I do hoiwever think that it is not so much the economy but rather more like bad press and people no longer wanting to get their houses insulated in the cavities. Oh well, looks like it will be minimum wage for a little while.

It was a nice and warm afternoon so I know went for a bike ride along the taff trail. When I got back I got went to the park and watched this nice sunset. Well as the saying goes, 'red at night...' it looks like it may be another nice day tomorow.

We'll smoke em out.


Yesterday there was a bit of excitement. As i was driving down the motorway we were nearly home when all hell broke loose. Something happened to the van. Something broke, then the van started to rev to the red line and beyond. After a couple of seconds of this i turned the van off. Nothing happened , it was possessed. I coasted it to a stop then got out and watched the enormous amounts of smoke that was pouring from the van. It took about 5 min for the turbo to burn up all the engine oil and that is when the engine finally siezed and cooked out. And that is how you get one dead engine.

Banksy


The street artist banksy has just opened an exhibition in the bristol museum. He snuck in and secretly changed most of the museum. So today we decided to go and have a look. Turns out so did everybody else in the uk. So faced with am hour wait we decided not to check it out. The trip was not a complete waste as when we were walking back through bristol we saw This piece of banksy art on the side of a three storey building. I think that that was the best one as it was out on the street where if became famous in the first place.
