Taken a bit too literally i think, choosing between 1/2 a dozen of these at the end of the week will be difficult
Bit more effort required young man

With the weather forecast for the rest of the week including weekend, good choice of topic.

I managed to get this while looking for another shot which I didn't like as much

Nice shot Irv. Got my eye on a lonely bus stop under a street light but as Oldboy says the weather might scupper that. Got this as a back up for now.

Off to Sheffield tonight to check out the Uni tomorrow for my eldest. Poll will be up late tomorrow, unless some kind soul steps in & does it for me.
