Another day, another …day. yeah.
Hi folks. Thanks to the five of you who commented on my last post. Your thoughts were appreciated.


This week has been pointless and not worth talking about in so much as the fact I have done NOTHING.


So I'm gonna talk to you about my splendid little holiday in Weymouth instead. So there.


a nice clear sunny freezing your balls off day

Weymouth is a small little beach town on the south coast of England. There wasn’t a huge amount to do there, but the idea of the holiday was a little R and R, so that’s what we did…

As you may have seen a few posts ago, we stayed in this sweet place called Old Beams. This is the interior…

The living room was huge! All five of us could be in there and you could still feel like you were alone…
mans best friend…the TV
kitchen with enough room for several of us to make lunch without getting in each others way
the other part of the kitchen really, with a nice big table.
the first staircase. And my mum. With luggage. Hi mum!
up the first flight of stairs, down there was my older brothers room and my parents room
second flight of stairs
and a third set!
finally! My room. And my little bro’s was across the stair way

My room was at the top so I got some killer views of Weymouth

well, by killer, I mean lots of roofs.
and Brewers Quay, which doesn’t have a brewery anymore…

To get into Weymouth we had to walk down the quay a little way and cross the bridge:

just gotta cross the bridge
…nani?
HEY!
sigh. Guess we gotta wait…

Well, it is a harbour after all… ^^;

yay for the RNLI!!

The Royal National Lifeboat Institution is operated by trained volunteers and is a registered charity, and relies on donations and fundraising to acquire the 130 million pounds ( 260 million US Dollars) that is required to run the service for a year. considering the UK is an island, and thus has a heavy maritime industry, this service is NECESSARY to the UK, and yet it gets no funding from the government, and is non-profit. And the crews risk their lives to save others. That’s pretty spectacular for a charity, no?
The boat in the picture is a SEVERN-class Off-Shore lifeboat designed to operate in all weathers and far out into british waters.


There wasn’t a huge amount to do in Weymouth, one thing we did do was go to a fort called Nothe Fort.
its been around for ages, and they kept rebuilding it

my brother and my mother and I see no other

Another place we went to was a motor museum

this was called The Red Room. Guess why.
back when cars were luxury items…some of your old American cars were HUGE
Jag…I think
lil Lotus
Mazda
Lamborghini! Nice car…
…aaand a DeLorean, minus Flux Capacitor, Mr Fusion and Hover Thrusters…still got gull-wing doors though

Lol

Just down the coast a little way was Portland, and island, but not quite…its kinda attached to the mainland by a small beach and a bridge, but its called an island and so it is.

this is the north end, which attaches to the mainland

i would like to do a job like this some day.
On Portland is a small Coastguard base that used to be part of a naval base, but now is just the SAR flight, with one of the UK’s smallest runways, measuring at 229 metres (751 ft). but its just for helicopters, so that’s ok. The helicopter on the left is INDIA JULIET, which starred in a documentary series on British Television about the RNLI and HM Coastguard called Seaside Rescue. ^^

this used to be part of the old naval base, but is now just abandoned as redevelopment goes on around it. it’s a pretty sweet old building

At the south side of the island is a place called Portland Bill.

and my little brother apparently

There used to be two lighthouses here, a big one and a little one, but they got decommissioned and they built the one you can see in the photo. The two old lighthouses got turned into a Bird Watch Sanctuary and a house respectively.

It’s a long way to the top…

The lighthouse is fully automated, but you can go up and have a look round.

the base…
halfway there…

And by “go up” I mean take the stairs. There are no elevators in the lighthouse. Don’t be so freakin lazy.

the whole lens and bulb and rotational mechanism floats on several tons of liquid mercury… yah.

It was pretty cool at the top, but there were better views to be had elsewhere…

crazy blueness
Portland Harbour
my older brother shows off his mad footy skillz

So yeah…we had a good time at Weymouth. It was very relaxing.

On the way home we stopped off at Monkey World…I wanted to leave my brother there but they said they had enough monkeys, but thanks anyway. Heres a few pics…

Chimp’s got his stick, all’s right with the world
piggyback ride…or should that be monkey-back?
chimp is saying No no, YOU come here and give it to ME
Even a Chimp has gots ta keep his butt warm


So there we have it. I hope you enjoyed. ^^


To finish off I give you the first two parts of the Chibi Darke Days 3rd Anniversary project:

Hmm…treachery is afoot

fingers are WEIRD

Wanna find out what happens next? Stay tuned!!

Till next we meet folks!

EDIT: Oh yah. ^^;;;; TODAY is Rememberance Sunday. so take some time to remember all those who have fought in the two World Wars for our freedom, and remember those who are currently fighting out in the middle east, and spare a thought for ANYONE of ANY NATION who is fighting. even the enemy. War is not right. its not big and its not clever. but humanity often feels it needs to participate. and probably will continue to do so forever and always. so spare a thought for anyone who goes out to fight for their own measure of freedom.
