Today I did some ironing. All I know is that last night on Disc I was warned that there would be weird messages posted all over AF this morning

Today it was 24C, but there was a breeze so it didn't feel so hot as it has been.

Sometimes when I'm looking round a museum I come across an exhibit which has a notice on it saying that it was used in some film or TV show and it is sort of cool to see the actual vehicle they used even if I've never seen or heard of the film or TV show.

The hovercraft museum is on the seafront at Lee-on-the-Solent and is situated in one of the iconic Type J hangars within “Seaplane Square”, an important part of the former HMS Daedalus Royal Naval air base. The Type J hangers are all Grade II listed buildings and provided essential storage and maintenance facilities for seaplanes in the early 20th century and also played an important role in the development of hovercraft which were invented by British engineer Christopher Cockerell in the 1950s and developed by Saunders Roe. The SR.N designation stands for Saunders Roe Nautical. It is the world's only hovercraft museum. It has a collection of over 50 hovercraft of varying types and sizes. The collection includes both military and civilian hovercraft. Among the hovercraft on display are two of the craft from the 2002 James Bond film "Die Another Day" Sizes range from small one man hovercraft to the mighty SR.N4 "The Princess Anne" the worlds largest civilian car carrying hovercraft which could carry 427 passengers and 60 cars in its cavernous car deck. SR.N4 hovercraft operated between Dover and Calais for 30 years. The service eventually ceased because not only was such a huge craft expensive to maintain and operate but also the opening of the channel tunnel meant they lost their competitive edge on journey times across the channel. Only one of these magnificent machines survives and sadly it is no longer operational. The mighty SR.N4 hovercraft "The Princess Anne". The car loading ramp on the SR.N4. The orange ladder you can see is the access ladder to the flight deck. Inside the cavernous car deck which could hold 60 cars. Part of the passenger compartment on the port side of the SR.N4. There was another one on the starboard side giving a total of 427 seats. The flight deck of the SR.N4 "Swift", and sadly all that remains of the Swift. The BH7 military hovercraft designed for strategic operations and rapid deployment. An SR.N6 twin prop 'Super 6'. This is one of the hovercraft used in the James Bond film "Die Another Day". Three one man hovercraft. One of the SR.N4's four propellers, each blade is 21 feet long. I hope you enjoyed reading my blog entry and found it interesting.

Has he invited you to his tea party ?

So @Sakura and @Soramee_ played OSRS together and then post a bunch of weird messages and they expect us to believe that nothing happened !!

I did some grocery shopping this morning and some laundry this afternoon.

It's been a bit cooler here still 20C, but with a light breeze so it doesn't feel as hot.

I know where you're coming from. A couple of years back I realised that I was spending so much time at railway galas taking pictures that I wasn't really seeing the trains, so now I make a definite effort to lower the camera and actually look at the trains.

I agree that you're never too old for anime. In my case it wasn't my choice to take a break from anime, my family circumstances for the few years before covid meant I had very little opportunity to watch anything or keep up with what was being released. Then my circumstances changed followed quite quickly by the covid lock-downs and I had time to reconnect with anime and start watching it again.

It's amazing how long 20 seconds is when you're waiting for something

That's impressive. There's so much detail in it.

While it's still hot and very muggy, the temperature was only 24C today.

That's amazingly beautiful, the quality of your artwork continues to reach new heights.
