January the longest most pointless month continues to drag. Life has been quiet and maybe not so cosy as we try to reduce our fuel demands, we are warm enough we have enough, no complaints.
So I thought I’d brighten the day by telling you about MrFF’s experience yesterday. Not the part where he left home before 7 to meet up with his walking group, walked down to the station, got onboard and bought his ticket online to discover the train wasn’t leaving the station as there were problems on the tracks. He walked back home to collect the car and got there in time but his eco efforts and plans for a relaxing journey were thwarted.
Anyway the group were walking through the pretty suburbs of Leeds when this passed them
What fun, a great saving for the environment and a solution for those not so mobile who might suddenly be out of milk. It opens up new possibilities although we are not sure if the little starship could climb the steep hill up to our building, fortunately for now at least we can.
I heard about these on the radio, apparently you can book your favourite song which plays once you open the lid. What next we ask!
ReplyDeleteI have seen these on TV. A nice idea but I wonder how vandal or theft proof they are.
ReplyDeleteI try very hard to enjoy January and February because otherwise it's one sixth of each year wasted. It's the only time of year when I would have been content to be back at work, where the weather doesn't matter too much. Except for having to dig the car out in order to get there in the snow of course
January used to be a big birthday month in my family (just my girl's now) so cause for much celebration. Call me odd but but must admit, I also love the cold dark months of the year. Doubt we'll see those robots here as anything that moves (or doesn't) gets nicked. Or trashed.
ReplyDeleteApparently they require assistance at Pelican crossings - they can't reach to press the button!
