Something to do with an Arts thing this weekend, it seems!  Called Octopus Attacks, presented by Migrations in partnership with LLAWN05 according to a flyer I was handed.

A very apt name,  I suspect he's probably getting paid a LOT of 'filthy lucre' for this stuff, from my taxes too!

Regarding DaveR's photo above .......passing a couple in Mostyn St. today, I overheard the comment " look at the testicles on that building"   ;D

Which reminded me of of another comment overheard in my shop years ago, two ladies discussing the waterproof coats, one saying "I think these are for men" and the other replying " do not worry everything is bisexual these days"   :D

I think I have just seen a Lancaster bomber fly over Llandudno heading for RAF Valley,... I will try and confirm, anybody else see it, it's strange as recently they were grounded.

Steve H, after flying over Llandudno Bay, the Lancaster appeared to fly south.

Thank's Bri, I thought I was seeing things, it was completely unexpected, the sight and sound of this plane is fantastic.

Wow so it was a Lancaster! I saw it just as I was bracing myself to get started on the exercise bike. It sounded fabulous but it was too far away for me to be sure what I was looking at. My favourite plane from my modelling days and I just happen to glance out the window and see one flying by  ;D

              Just seen a film crew setting up  at the west shore end of Abbey Road. There was a large boom camera and various buses and wagons there, and a girl/long-haired man waiting nearby on a khaki wartime-type motorbike with the engine running waiting for the "action" signal. Could be for an advert maybe?

Gwynant, think it's a skincare advert for David Beckham, I saw they had a stunt motorbike rider doing something on the Orme.
After all what is time, a mere tyranny.

Don't tell Hollins about Beckham or she'll be in Llandudno as quick as a flash       ;D

I had a major panic when I saw his pics on Instagram that he was in Wales and then again when I saw Gwynant's post yesterday.
I am relying on you all to advise me quickly if he appears!

PS. The Lancaster bomber flew right past our house the other day flying very low or so Mr H told me. I was in the bath so no pics!

Surely David Beckham is the wrong person to be promoting skincare - all those tattoos show how careful he is about his skin.
