  1. Previous events wouldn't put me off buying the house (I only got my house in Ipswich because a young couple split up in the early 2000s not long after getting it and the parents/inlaws wanted to sell it off cheap)

    what would put me off is that its nearly a million quid *and* in #Mersea - I've been there (by mistake, after going on a drive to #Colchester without using a satnav and taking a wrong turning) and found it to be an insular and unfriendly place (full of gammons as well), not surprising they end up murdering each other

    I’ve walked here regularly for the past 8 years or so, never have I seen such a contrast in the colour of the landscape.

    #AbsoluteUnit of float valve (about 2m long), from a plumbers merchant just outside #Colchester (I had to go there earlier in the year to help install some loudspeakers and PA amplifier for in store music, spent several hours up in a ceiling grid moving tiles and hauling cables with damp rockwool raining down on my head)

  4. Work to reinstate the car park at #Colchester railway station is due to begin later this month after design work was completed. Upgrades already underway include improvements to the power supply, drainage and preparations for a new lift. The scheme will provide more accessible parking bays, new pedestrian routes, improved lighting and CCTV, plus additional cycle and motorcycle parking. Delivered by Greater #Anglia as part of GBR Anglia, the project will reopen parking spaces in phases as work progresses. The car park closed in July 2024 after a structural survey found deterioration in the decked section, which was later demolished. Other areas of the station car park remain open, with temporary access roads and a new pedestrian walkway in place. Greater Anglia said it would keep disruption to a minimum and thanked customers for their patience.

  5. Impressive bit of #bicycle commuting from #Colchester to #Stowmarket (not without some personal safety risks - I've ridden the #Suffolk part of that journey myself on various occasions).

    Metric first distance in the newspaper confirms he's used to #cycling and outdoor activity (its not uncommon in UK for cyclists to use metric on their navi apps/speed displays)

    its quite an achievement (in another interview to GB News which I'm not going to link here he also suggests it was a way of getting over poor lifestyle choices and addictions after leaving the Army), but does also have a worrying overtone of dour #austerity
