Opening and closing windows

In this house, and I suspect its not the only one, the woman goes around opening the windows saying "we need a change of air" and the man goes around closing them saying "what's the point of spending all that money on cavity insulation if you let all the heat out the windows".

And the windows have been opening and closing around the house tonight with Microsoft throwing up 15 updates this month for Windows 7 and if you don't force an install they end up interrupting your work later in the evening so its best to accept that that they will only be open for a short time before they get closed again....and opened....and closed.....

Finally the scanner started and was going flat out for a couple of hours other than a walk to the nearby shop via the death trap known as a pelican crossing. I've lost count of the number of times I have only put one foot onto the crossing as a car approaches at 50 mph in an area where a 30 mph limit is clearly sensible. Once on the crossing I couldn't believe it when another one went across the other side.

And its as bad on the crossing by the Gaiety on the prom which I sometimes use in the morning. Cars accelerate away fast from broadway passing the same pelican crossing each day without even realising they are supposed to be alert and ready to stop.

There should be a camera in the window of the Sefton Hotel to catch the offenders.

This window is closing now. I'll leave to visitors to the site to open the shutters and reveal the stories behind the old newspaper report I've put on the front page.
