Out for a walk this morning with Gabby, when I came across this Keolis Val d'Essonne 2 Vallées (ER084QX) Iveco Crossway LE, sitting at the local bus terminus.
Makes a change from the usual CItaro and I quite like these.

A very sick looking Peugeot 306, seen on the main street of our village this morning. Rear end shunt and it even had a massive red petrol can in the passenger footwell.

My Mega Multitruck Phase 2 aka Mega Breadvan, is being used now and then. As my son can drive now (he uses the Kangoo), every time I need Mega Breadvan, I have to move the Kangoo out of the way.

I am currently trying to sort out domains between my shop and buy me a coffee page. If you visit the shop you might find that it redirects to the buy me a coffee site.
Eventually the megabreadvan.world domain will redirect to the shop, but it'll take a while to sort itself out.

I did mention this recently, removing watermarks from photos using AI.
This should be stopped. #aiphotos #ai

AI is being used to steal school pictures, photographers warn

Ian Gilbert says he's heard parents boasting about using AI to take the watermark off his photos.
