Last on the Card – April 2024

Start of a new month and time to catch up with Brian’s Last on the Card Challenge 😎👍

Working from oldest to latest…

On the Moto g50 we have a shot taken on April 20th at Margate FC to let Epi know I’d arrived safely…

Moving on to April 28th and a walk around my local area – this shot of Prospect Place was taken on the Fujifilm X-Pro2…

Finally, taken on April 29th at the end of a spotting day, I have Dogboxes 153379 and 153384 at Upper Holloway on a track inspection run…

A bit of straightening and cropping required 😂 All shots as taken, just resized for the internet.

  Thanks Brian 😎👍 Our season has gone into extra time – we did beat Carshalton in the last game, making sure of a play-off spot. We travel to local rivals Enfield Town tonight🙄 I’ll be going by train, so expect a report in my weekly Spotting post😅

It never ceases to amaze me how many of our place names are from England. It shouldn’t amaze me, but it does 😂 We lived in Brighton (in Brisbane) just s short drive from Margate and I’m sure the football they played was of a different kind.

  🤣🤣👍 It’s similar in the US – Lots of English place names as well as French and Spanish. It’s nice when I drive through a place that has a clear Native American influenced name! Shoshoni in Wyoming comes to mind. Of course, some UK place names show their Saxon and Norman heritage. Finchley is a modern contraction of the Saxon Fynches Lea – which translates as Finches Clearing.
  As for the football – It’s association rules over here (Look after the premier league and don’t give a *$%” about grass roots). Aussie rules is closer to Gaelic Football 😅

    We are big Aussie Rules fans, but like league and union too.

I like the train shot. I really miss passenger trains since moving back home to Tasmania from the Big North Island (Australia) 20 years ago. I used to commute by train for work in both Sydney & Brisbane when I lived in those cities.

From memory I used to follow your blog years ago. I quit blogging way back & have just recently taken it up again. Saw your link on Bushboy Brian’s Last On The Card link up.

Kind regards, Tony

  Hello Tony – Great to hear from you😀👌 Hope you are well. I remember your cartoons👍 My blog has moved on a little – you’ll find a weekly Trainspotting post which often diverges in some related things. And I usually join in with one of Cee’s challenges as well as Brian’s Last on Card and Clare’s Share you Desktop. There’s also a farming simulator series. I must pop over and see what you’re up to 😎👍
