Today I'm happy about......

Certainly in the UK they are known as brown roofs. They have a mixture of mainly low growing plants and weeds rather than grass. The manufactures claim they are are very low maintenance and shouldn't need any cutting or feeding. If in a drought they just grow browner and then will regrow when it rains.

Well, there's one on the roof of a new building in the ludicrously named ... and ludicrous per-se ... Glyndwr University (previously Wrexham Kwik-Save). It has needed re-upholstery several times and seems to be a permanently brown state & believe me that's not due to a lack of rain. There is now work is required to repair some leaks and there is concern that the extra weight when wet has not been calculated properly.

Way to go with the evrionmental concerns.

Oh Dear.

Had a great night trick or treating in Oldham.

Robbing children again, Willy? Shame on you.

I think he is referring to the cocaine handed out in error, Dujon.

I just became a great granddad for the second time. Got a text five minutes ago. 6lb 40z little lad. All gone well and he'll be called Lennie. Chuffed to xxxx.

Nice one TANGO, glad it all went well. Congratulations. I trust Lennie'll be a little Wanderer?

[Little Green Man]

Congrats, TD! Named after the new assistant manager or the character from The Simpsons?

Ah, well. Now the embarrassing part. To my eternal shame, my grandson's a xxxx supporter. Ah well, he may grow up with sense and be converted.

Great pic Bish. Coastal Wales is lovely. This last week we were back at Criccieth, Black Rock Sands, Trefor & Llanbedrog all beautiful beaches but the daddy of em all for me is Newborough at Angelsey. One of my favourite places in the world.

Went to a place called Shell Island a couple of years ago. Blue sky, white sand, blue sea, Snowdonian backdrop. Heaven!

Beautiful photo!

I went on a geology field trip there many years ago. It was bloody perishing.

Exciting geological fact of the day - there are tiny coal seams exposed on the cliff face. They'd only be economically viable as a Pontypine mine.

A mine owned by Welsh Pontipines.

Coal scavengers. Pidcking up loose, small amounts from the surface.

Sad b'stards those Welshies.
