As the fire brigade are on strike.
Excuse the flippancy but they get paid an awful lot more than me.
Did I mention their pension that I pay for that I haven't got.
A fireman mate of mine drives a new jag he's retired.
Had it one year bought a new one.

Will you know where your children are during the school holidays?

My mum never knew where I would be.
From our Sandycroft home I could be on the river bank, Mancot, Hawarden, Queenserry, Shotton, Connah's Quay, Saltney, Broughton. In any of the countryside between the above.
Used to wade across the River Dee to the other side.
From 14 onwards I was usually on Hawarden golf course.
Always turned up for tea
Drinking and drugs not. A swig out of a bottle of whiskey or gin revealed it to be very bad stuff.
Drugs? Didn't know what they were.
Signs of drugs can be seen in Penyffordd. Apparently there is the odd spliff to be seen in the road gutters. This I have not seen myself but have been told by a person who has a lot to do with our paths and roadways.

Penymynydd Roundabout Traffic
I see the above appeared on the Penyffordd Community Council July agenda. This is an area I try to steer well clear of at busy times such as first thing and tea time. The roundabout has two lanes entry at some junctions. The roundabout is not designed for two vehicles side by side even if some sillies try it.
Cllr David Williams wants the roundabout decorated with plants and trees. I think is should be shrunk to allow two cars to go around at the same time in safety.
The roundabout is a outdated, a bottleneck
A further option is to knock Tom's house ( Penyffordd Headquarters) down and make the roundabout bigger and make the section of road between Penymynydd and Dobshill a dual carriage way. ( I joke)
postscript: Also an issue is the Hope turning at Hope which should be made three lanes. This affects Penyffordd residents but is not in our parish

Road safety
Flintshire County Council are going to introduce advisory 20mph speed limits outside all schools. A step in the right direction. Our lollypop man Colin has nearly been knocked down twice since he started.
Last week he was standing in Penymynydd Rd with his lollypop escorting children across the road. A motorist who thought lollypop was loitering in the road carried on moving. This was while two further children were crossing the road. The motorist had not seen the children.......
I think license removal for a few months might concentrate the minds of some.

Close to Home
Having just been in the Maelor for two weeks with pneumonia I have a special interest in the following issue. The PM bless him is calling for new antibiotics to deal with illnesses that currently defy treatment. C. Difficile, MRSA and other virus and bacteria are modifying so that antibiotics will not kill them.
Antibiotics are in our food. Meat and dairy I think.
Doctors hand them out for lots of stuff, although they are trying to cut down
Problem is Prime Minister the baddies alter all the time.
ps I'm currently on 14 antibiotic pills a day, good job they are working.
Think most of them are finishing tomorrow inc the steroids.

Neighbours
I get on fine with the China's. Jimmy is my favourite. Other neighbours are fine excepting 2.
One has never spoken in 10 years, not sure what the issue is there, their problem.
Another neighbour is friendly sometime and hostile other times. Had about 5 arguments there
over the years. Currently no speak, don't know why.
Won't acknowledge my existence when talking to some people.
Again their problem
I'll talk to anyone, life is too short.

Bathing in micro waves
A perfect day in Penyffordd, warm and sunny.
I have a 100 jobs......................
Or is it 200.
Here I am in my little quiet office previously unaware that the BT wifi box is spewing out microwaves. Just like sitting next to the box in the kitchen that's on all the time.
If you don't need wifi some can be disabled.
Another way is to block the microwaves by giving the box a tin foil coat using aluminium foil from the kitchen. I suppose you have to leave it part open. My mobile uses One Drive and loads photos up to the cloud when I have new photos. This is a good function that gets rid of the need to use cables
Will put some links on later

Internet has been down this morning in places
A couple of hours
Couldn't access our shops mainly in USA
Step forward BT
The Daily Post say

Step forward BT
The Daily Post say
News: BT has apologised after "many" users in the UK experienced problems recently connecting to the internet, but says the issue has now been resolved.
Internet users complained they were unable to connect to some websites - including eBay, Twitter and Facebook - as a result of the problems.
BT said it was unable to say how many customers had been hit, but issues were reported in various parts of the UK.
The firm, which has about seven million broadband subscribers in the UK, said it was still investigating the incident.
Residents meet Dwr Cymru over Chester Rd flooding this morning
The fact is the water comes down Penymynydd Rd in the underground pipeway, the pressure builds up as the pipes can't take it. Then the inspection grid lifts and 1000's of gallons of water spew across Chester Rd and down Ken's and next door's drive.
I see it every time we have a downpour
I've spoken to a civil engineer they know the problem. They were going to put a camera down the pipes.
Previous blog explains what might be the issue ie. narrowed pipe work.

Why all the blogs?
Penyffordd blog material can be hard to find.
I have a robot set up that helps.
I'm currently on presnelone a steroid.
16 tablets when I started now down to 4
Makes you creative, hyper and gives you the munchies.
They give you sleeping tablets to sleep.
Great for cramming for university just for a few days
In hospital I would buy The Times and read it from cover to cover
Even the horse racing news section.
They also make you loose weight a stone in 12 days.
Can I keep the stone off!
End of course next week.
Not recommended for more than 3 weeks as they are addictive.
Wikipedia side effects considerable.................

Penyffordd First World War
As the anniversary of a Duke who got assassinated in some far off country arrives.
In the Institute are the names of those who fell in the war. Dan Snow tries to communicate the sheer horror. With some he struggles.

Chester Rd Closed for resurfacing
The yellow sign says open to residents only. This I think should be a policy aim for the village.
Through traffic to use the bypass.
The proposed road alteration at the junction of Chester Rd / Hawarden Rd will make it more difficult for commercial traffic

Penyffordd Monsoon
Half an hour of full pelt rain. Coming in places here I've never seen before. Cue buckets.
In Penymynydd Rd the ditch was piped years ago. It runs under Chester Rd then down into the stream.
At the moment there are 1000's of gallons pouring out the manhole for the drainage. Its running across Chester Rd and into Ken's garden.
Spoke to a utility man some time ago who opined that before the pipe goes into the ditch the pipe diameter reduces there by causing a back pressure up to Penymynydd Rd
Any reduction of pipe diameter shouldnt have been allowed if it has happened.
Usual nutters on the road who dont see the need to slow down.

CCTV Surveillance Creep
I tend to look up lamp posts. Its a habit I developed after finding a cctv camera looking my house. Flintshire County Council didnt know it was there. They own the lamp post...........
The reason eventually given after an FOI I don't buy
Anyway if you drive from Penymynydd towards Dobshill look at the lamposts on the right you will see what looks a sophisticated wireless camera pointing at you.
The cameras do ANPR they take your registration plate and store it somewhere. These cameras are also in Newbridge, Abermoddu, Marchwiel and elsewhere..
The State Machine continues its relentless to spy on its subjects . It needs stopping.
