Having been rather busy over the past fortnight, there's not a lot to add. Save, that is, for the sun and everything under it.

Apropos nowt in particular

Nothing to do with buildings, but I offer this as received from a friend. It made me chuckle:

Apparently, everyone's favourite knuckledragging halfwits, the British National Party, have launched a campaign to return Eastern Europeans back whence they came rather than 'taking all our jobs' here.
They illustrated their posters with a stirring, patriotic image of a Supermarine Spitfire. The machine, Romeo Delta Foxtrot, had an illustrious career with the fabled 303 Squadron.
You can see what's coming next...
303 was a Squadron of Polish pilots.
