12th February

like a few other islanders i stood and watched this brave(or crazy!) guy
(it's the most excitment we've had for quite a while!) ;-)
and his digger down the harbour today, he was clearing all the crap out where
the planned bridge will be going(there was one there in the Victorian days)
and this digger didn't look very safe at all, it was slipping and sliding everywhere,
it looked very much like it was about to tip up at a few points,
we were all standing waiting for the splash, it didn't happen though heheh

oh look, there's the Kettledrum in the background, photos will be going up tomorrow ;-)

Hi Zak...neat goings on...I remember a bridge from the prom to the pier years ago when I was a kid....used to be two entrances back then....

Nuts ... don't you need a new wreck. Well ... anyway ... well captured.

More nerve than I would have. I wonder if he dug up any bodies ;-)

He's a good digger operator!
Yvonne12-Feb-2007 23:43
He must have an amazing sense of balance not to have tipped over!

You wouldn't catch me in one of those so close to the water. I could be mistaken but I don't really think they float. :-)

He dropped a 50p piece in there, I heard.

I hope he's being paid danger money.

It might be amphibious
