Sorry about my absence - couple of weeks at the plantation and a spot of skiing in Chile. Back to the grindstone. I share this picture with my readers out of desperation. I mentioned previously that we are blessed at Diplotown with a very sparse distribution of street lights, unfortunately one of the three is just opposite Diplo Hall - this has not been a problem since it packed up nearly a year ago. Guess what ? I was awakened from a post-prandial snooze with a start, massaging the keyboard imprint from my forehead, I peered out of the window of the front office to see a Lights-4-U wagon pull up and make preparations to fix the street lamp. I tried to point out to the operative that this was entirely unnecessary and that I would be happy to damage the bulb for him before it was installed - "not on your life - more than my ...." .. I ran inside and started sewing up black out curtains. Surely in these days of environmental concern and budgetary constraints we'd be doing the world a favour if we left broken street lights well alone.

Welcome back Diplo! You have been missed....not least for your ability to take a photo without getting yourself in it.....
As for the light problem, surely there is an asbo-ised teenie in the area who, for a pint of Diamond Light, would hurl a few well-aimed stones?
alas - not in Diplotown !
Use the twelve bore. We won't let on.
No need for stones or twelve bores. I'll just come round and take the bulb out with my hankie.
