Broughton St Mary's church, where the hustings were held. Photo taken a couple of months before the event, at dawn.
Not sure who the winners or losers were at the @spurtle.bsky.social hustings last night. But 120 people turned up (plus candidates and Spurtle volunteers). Expect a write up from our editor soon-ish.
We wiz there.
A well-run event @spurtle.bsky.social !

Dread dinger.
SPURTLE HUSTINGS, DREAD DINGER & ALL.—This Thursday in Broughton St Mary's Parish Church, Bellevue Cres. If you can't attend, or if you want to help set priorities for the meeting, send your question in advance to spurtle@hotmail.co.uk. More details at www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/speaker...
There's a long snagging period for Out of the Blue to identify problems before signing the lease: www.broughtonspurtle.org.uk/news/progres... Hopefully, they'll catch this one before it starts dropping acorns on passers-by.

A section of a white paint blob which might, possibly, look a bit like a cockatoo. There's an almond shaped black area which looks like an eye, some wrinkles in front of that which could maybe be interpreted as a beak, both within a rounded area topped by a squiggle and another splatter which could, if one was being imaginative, resemble the head and head feathers of a cockatoo. Lower down, across the wider "body" of the bird, there are some black areas which are kind of in a line, so I chose to see them as a branch that was intermittently being covered by the bird's feathers as it sat on the branch.
I could only get a rather cartoonish cockatoo (sitting on a branch, and flanked by blobs) out of that splatter.

It took that long to repair it?
A long tail cargo bike with a tuba in the saddlebag. It's big and barely fits.
I am once again reminding cargo bike families that the clarinet is a really nice instrument that your kid should learn to play instead of the tuba.

Just been to McDonald Road Library, where the wifi is down. They've been without wifi for ***3 weeks*** and have no idea when it will be fixed.
This is a really crucial resource for local people

General disquiet.
What are they venting?
It's better than in Glasgow - heavy slushy snow. Not a great time to discover that one of my boots has a leak...
