Returning

   Posted by: lyle    in Getting Organised, Own Business, Travel, Work-related

Well, we’re back from Norfolk. And a bloody good week it was, too. Although I have to say I’m heartily sick of a) the World Cup in general, and b) Wayne Fucking Rooney in particular.

Anyway, plenty of photos – some of which may even make it online at some point soon – and pleasantly tanned arms. The meeting with the IFA went well, answered a lot of questions, and has given me a shitload of work to do.

Other than that, well, now it’s the weekend. And I plan to go shopping while the England match is on – the shops should be nice and quiet…

Rubber Roads

   Posted by: lyle    in Green, Travel

Interesting idea in this story from the BBC about a company with plans to use old disused/decommisioned railway lines, and create a road made from recycled rubber car tyres along them, which may go some way to helping relieve congestion.

So – a green option for helping to recycle rubber tyres instead of flinging them on landfill, and a way to make certain roads quicker and (possibly) cheaper than normal methods. And that uses less water etc. than the concrete that’s used in roads?

Sounds like a plan to me…
