Zasady stosowania znaków B-35 lub B-36
Znak B-35 „zakaz postoju” stosuje się go w miejscach, gdzie konieczne jest ograniczenie postoju pojazdów ze względu na warunki ruchu lub bezpieczeństwo. Znak ten zabrania pozostawiania pojazdu na dłuższy czas, ale dopuszcza krótkotrwałe zatrzymanie się, np. w celu wysadzenia pasażera. Umieszcza się go po tej stronie drogi, po której obowiązuje zakaz, także na drogach jednokierunkowych. W…

I have, against my better judgement, have become someone who goes on runs at 5am
I'm out working and living in the bush somewhere where the temperature after work is 40C, but before work its a much more reasonable 25C
Today's run… raised my heart rate more than intended You see, 5am is before dawn so a) animals are more active and b) I have to use a head torch to see.
I was running along, and up ahead, just outside the torchlight, was a mysterious grey lump. I was squinting at it suspiciously, when it hopped into the bushes.
That was the Kangaroo of Foreshadowing.
I kept running. I crossed the cattle grid, ran for a bit more And then I heard a Noise.
I cannot describe it to you. I did not parse it consciously. Something deep in my mammal programming went "sudden movement, in grass."
I stopped dead.
Now, it could have been a snake. The snakes here are dangerous, but you can run past them. It could be a kangaroo. It would probably run away, but if it chose fight instead of flight, I did not want to fight a kangaroo. But. It could have been a dingo.
I'm a bit big for a dingo. Wouldn't want to test that though.
I tried to think of what you were meant to do when you encountered a dingo.I started clapping above my head while yelling towards the dark "I'M A BIG SCARY HUMAN. YOU DON'T WANT TO FUCK WITH ME. DON'T MESS WITH THE BEST. I'M BIG! HUMAN! I GOTTA PHONE I CAN USE TO CALL ALL MY BIGGER AND SCARIER HUMAN FRIENDS!"
I started backing away gingerly. I didn't want to show my back to a possible dingo, but also I didn't want to walk backwards into a cattle grid.
Once I crossed the cattle grid safely, I went "can a dingo walk over a cattle grid?" decided probably not, and speed walked back to the accommodation.

I've wanted to draw Beriith and Val more, especially interacting... I plan on continuing their comic soon™ but it's gonna be a while until I can show them being, like, casually friendly with each other... Anyway I doodled something. I wanted to a) draw more of these characters and b) kinda streamline my progress so I can be faster when working, esp. with full bodies. I'm actually very, very slow when drawing full body artwork and feel like I struggle with keeping my forms "balanced" and want to work on that.
In any case, if you're still here and interested, I have some small explanations for each sketch: "Tail". Beriith is generally very stone-faced and doesn't emote that much (it's part stoic personality and part anxiety disorder/ptsd that affects his expressiveness... he has never been expressive, but he would be more so if he, like, felt better.) But he does emote on with his tail, and you can pretty easily learn to read his moods based on what his tail is doing. Val finds this very funny. "Problem". Tfw you're supposed to be sleeping but can't because you're having trouble applying Amneth's Equation to your problem, but the numbers don't match, the result is wrong, the data is bad and you're running out of your favorite energy drink flavor (green apple.) "Blood". Beriith's blood is bright blue. That's it. Send post. "Hooves". Hoof-health is important, and Beriith has to trim or clip his hooves for maintenance once in a while. He always has clippers or a hoof knife on him for basic hoof maintenance. "Glasses". I thought Val would be cute if I gave her reading glasses. So now she has reading glasses. "Snow". "Well, I think it looks like someone I know..." Val lives in a region where yearly snowfall is usually like 5 cm tops, so while she has experience with snow, she doesn't really have experience with snow. I kinda tried to make her outfit look like it's been just pulled together in layers instead of being a super fashionable winter outfit. Beriith, on the other hand, is from way northern region of their world, and while these days he travels the world a lot, it never feels like a proper winter to him unless it's dark 20 hours a day, there is knee-deep snow and at -25c for at least a month.

Timeless | C. Beomgyu 01. 1944

Synopsis: There's antique shop down the block, and somehow yn felt the need to visit it. While looking at the artefacts and old treasures the shop had, a cardboard box with a ´photos 25c each´ sign caught her attention. As she took a look at it, she saw that it contained some old pictures, but what happens when she sees herself and her boyfriend Beomgyu in them?
Warnings: mentions of smoking, mentions of feeling dizzy and fainting, mentions of food, might contain grammar mistakes, english is not my first language.
Word count: 3k
Lua’s note: Hello! Welcome to the first chapter of Timeless! This took a long time to write but it came out well, it is a long chapter but I hope you like it :)
Masterlist
“Oh hi! May I help you?” Someone said behind you. You turned around, you still had the pictures in your hand. “Oh, are you interested in those pictures?” He said as he walked behind the counter, he had a soft smile and his hair was brown and messy, he had a name tag that said “Soobin”.
“Where did you get these pictures?” You asked still shocked by the fact that you and Beomgyu were in those pictures.
He shrugged. “Not sure, I think someone brought them yesterday. But I don’t really remember.” He scratched the back of his head trying to remember. “Why? Is something wrong?” He could see your concerned face.
“No, no, umm how much are they?” You asked opening your wallet. You needed to take them home and show them to Beomgyu.
“Uh, I��m not sure how much they should cost. I’ll just take 3 dollars, they don’t seem that expensive.” You nodded and gave him the money. He said ‘thank you’ but you didn’t hear him since you stormed out of the shop after taking the pictures.
You ran towards your apartment, you thanked god you lived in the third floor and not on a seventh. You quickly took out your keys and open the door of your apartment. Beomgyu was in the kitchen when you entered, he greeted you with a smile but his expression changed when he saw you with a worried expression.
"Hey, is everything okay?" he walked closer to you an cupped your face. "What's wrong?". You looked down to the pictures in your hand and handed them to him. He gave you a puzzled look and started examining them.
"What- yn where did you find this?" He asked furrowing his brows, he was really confused and so were you.
"I entered to the new shop down the block, it had a lot of old stuff and I saw those in a box on the counter and-" you were talking very fast and Beomgyu stopped you grabbing you by the shoulders.
He took a deep breath. "Let's sit down." He grabbed your hand and led you to the livingroom where you both sat down. Beomgyu placed his hand on your shoulder and looked at you. "Now, tell me how you find these." His voice was more calmed but he still looked confused.
You nodded. "I was walking down the block and I saw this new shop, so I entered just to look around. And I saw a box on the counter and I don't know why but it just caught my attention so I opened it. And those pictures were inside...oh and this." You pulled out the locket that you placed in your pocket. Beomgu grabbed it and opened it realizing there was a picture of "him" inside.
"I don't understand... how is this even possible?" He said burying his face in his hands. Suddenly he sat up straight and looked at you, his face looked pale.
"Gyu, what's wrong?" You took his hand and for some reason your vision started getting blurry, and your surrounding were spinning. It continued like that until everything went black.

1943
The street was filled with people, some where walking with their families, friends, couple, and some other were alone, just like you. You were heading to your dad's work place, he worked for the news paper of the town "Mirage", you made your way in and hoped he wasn't busy or in the middle of a meeting. He usually worked all day since very early in the morning, so he usually didn't have any breakfast, which made you worried. As you entered the building the smell of smoke filled your nostrils, there were a lot of men around the office holding pipes or cigarrates. You greeted your dad's secretary and asked him where he was.
"He's in his office, I don't think he's busy right now." You nodded and made your way to his office.
You knocked his door and you heard a 'come in'. You opened the door and saw your dad with scribbling some things on his notebook.
"Hey dad, I brought you lunch." You smiled and closed the door behind you. He smiled back at you and gave you all his attention.
"Oh, yn you didn´t have to. Did your mom tell you to?" He said looking at you. You shook your head.
"She also said it wasn't necessary but I insisted." You handed him the lunchbox you prepared for him. "You need to eat soemthing, dad. You could get ill if you skip your meals."
"Yeah alright." He grabbed the lunchbox and opened it. "Thank you, yn." He smiled and started eating.
"I'll see you later dad." You said your goodbyes and walked out of the office. You weren't looking your step when you accidentally bumped into someone.
"I'm very sorry, Miss. Are you alright?" You looked up and saw him. A tall boy with brown hair, perfectly styled to the side. He wore a white button-up shirt and his tie was messily done. His sleeves were rolled up and he had a notebook on his hand.
"Yeah, yeah I'm okay. Are you?" You asked trying not to be awkward.
He nodded and smiled. "I'm alright. Uh, I better get going." You nodded and moved aside. He gave you one last smile and you noticed he entered to your dad's office.
On your way back home you couldn't help but smile, you normally didn't see a young handsome guy working on the building. There were only old men working there. So it was strange.
Once you got home you opened the door and went inside. You were greeted by your mom who was sitted on the sofa, she had a crochet hook in her hand and a book in her other hand.
"Oh! Yn, come here please." She said one she saw you. "Can you help me with this? I can't see this part properly and I really need to finish this." She handed you the book she had, it was a crochet guide, of course.
"Mom, why aren't you wearing your glasses?" Your mom hated wearing her glasses, she always said that she felt old when she wore them, but she really needed them. "You do need them, you know?".
"I don't need those glasses. They ruin my appearance!" You sighed. After a few minutes of helping your mom, you went to your room.
You spent the next few hours trying to find something entertaining to do. You had already read all the book you had, and there was no point in reading the news paper since your dad always told you the news everyday. You decided to take a nap, you felt a little tired anyways.
A knock on your door woke you up. You rubbed your eyes and opened them, you realized it was already dark outside. You stood up and opened the door.
"Yn get dressed, and come help me in the kitchen. Your dad invited some of his colleagues from work." She left after saying that making you sigh.
After gettig dressed properly for the guests you went downstairs to greet them.
"Oh, there she is! That's my daughter." You heard your dad's voice and you turned to him and smiled. You noticed there were two people with him. You already knew the both of them, they had been working with your dad since yo were little.
You greeted both of them and head to the kitchen, you were about to open the door but you heard your mom talking to someone, you heard a man talking. You pushed the door open and saw him. You were surprised to see him in your house. When they both noticed your presence your mom smiled at you.
"Yn, this is Choi Beomgyu, he works with your father at the writing department." She said while handing you an apron. "He know how to cook too! Isn't that surprising?"
You nodded still looking at him. Now you knew his name. You heard your dad mention him a couple of time saying that his writing and redacting was amazing. And it was, you have read his articles on the news paper.
"Choi Beomgyu, nice to meet you." He walked closer to you and held his hand out. You shook his hand and smiled.
After helping around in the kitchen preparing dinner and stealing glances at Beomgyu, you were all sitted at the dining table. Everyone was eating and talking about work and other things.
"So Beomgyu, where did you say you came from?" Your dad said and everyone turned to look at him.
"I'm from Daegu, sir. I moved here a year ago." Beomgyu explained. You could've guessed he was from Daegu, his accent some of his dialect were different. And it was strangely attractive to you.
After an hour and a half everyone finished their dinner and were already leaving. Beomgyu offered staying behind and help you clean up and you gladly accepted his help.
Now you were in the kitchen again, Beomgyu was washing the dishes and you were drying them and putting them away. There was kind of an awkward silence so you decided to speak.
"So... you're from Daegu." You said and he turned to face you with a small smile.
"Yeah, I had to move here, they offered me a great job at the writing department and I agreed, of course." He explained and kept washing the dishes.
You nodded. "I've read your articles, they're really good. I like the way you explain things, you always make everything clear." You said making him chuckle.
"Thanks, I really like writing, it's one of my favorite things. Sometimes I wish I could write a book, but I just don't know what to write about."
You noticed he was really passionate about his work from the way he was talking. You felt like you could listen to him talk for hours, and he just had a lot to talk about. You talked for a long while until he realized he had to go so you walked him to the door.
"It was nice talking to you Yn, thanks for the dinner, and for the talk." He said once you opened the door.
"Well I have to say thank you to you too, you also helped with dinner." You felt like talking to him was easy. Just like if you already knew him. "And I also enoyed talking to you, you are very interesting." He let out a small laugh at your words.
"Thank you, I would like to talk to you again, if you want to of course." His words came out a bit more shyly this time.
"Oh, I would love to." You felt your cheeks slightly burning and your heart was racing.
"Great, I'll see you later, yn." He said lastly ant turned around to walk away.
Time went by, you went out with Beomgyu every week for the following 3 months. You couln't help but develop feelings for him. You always had fun when he was around and he never failed to make you smile. And your parents knew about this, and they approvingly let you date him the day Beomgyu went to your house and asked your parents for their permission to date you.
As you spent more and more time together, you found that you had a lot in common. You shared the same values, interests and sense of humor. Little by little, the time you spent together felt as natural as breathing. Without realizing it, you had fallen in love.
Everything felt right when you were with him. You didn’t know how you fell for him in only 3 months. He always told you that you were made for him and he was made for you. You two loved each other and supported your dreams, always making time for the other when you were busy.
You didn’t need to go out to expensive places, your dates with him consisted in just walking on a field and resting underneath the shadow of a tree, he wrote some notes or short stories and read them to you while your head rested on his lap.
Of course you had small disagreements, but they never tore you apart because you both knew that a discussion couldn’t separate you that easily, because you truly loved each other.
1944
In your eleventh month of dating, you were waiting for him in the same field you always went to, sitting under a tree with your back resting on the trunk, watching the sky slowly turn into a shade of orange with pink clouds moving gently with the spring breeze.
“Hey, sorry I kept you waiting.” You heard Beomgyu say as he sits down next to you, he pecked your cheek and gave you one of his beautiful smiles he always gave you.
“It’s okay, I just got here a few minutes ago.” You smiled back and took his hand in yours. “You’re in time for the sunset.” He rested his head on your shoulder.
“Oh you’re right, I thought I was going to miss it, I came running from work.” You placed your head on top of his.
“I thought you weren’t working today.” You said, your hand fidgeted with his.
“I didn’t, I just went to pick up something I left.” He took out his notebook from his messenger bag and opened it. “I wrote something, and I want you to give me your opinion.” You nodded and he straightened up.
He started reading a story he wrote about a couple. It was a sweet short story he had been working on for a couple of days. He began reading the part were the love interest proposes to the main character, but he wasn’t reading anymore, instead he was looking at you.
“…and the he said: The sun is hiding below the horizon, casting a warm glow over the water. And you are the most beautiful person I have ever met. I can't help but feel overwhelmed by the beauty of this moment. But it's nothing compared to the beauty I see in you. Your eyes sparkle like diamonds, your smile sets my heart on fire, and your laugh is music to my ears. I love everything about you, and I can't imagine a life without you. Will you do me the honor of accepting me, and being my partner in life?”
When he finished talking you felt your heart race, he looked at you with a big smile and placed his notebook down. Beomgyu grabbed your hand and reached to his pocket pulling out a paper ring.
“So…what do you say?” He placed the paper ring on your finger and looked up at you.
You jumped into his arms wrapping your arms around his neck making him laugh.
“I’ll take that as a yes.” He hugged you back and placed a kiss on the side of your head.
You got married that same spring. Your parents were delighted that you two were finally getting married. You also got the chance to meet Beomgyu’s parents which were more than happy to meet you.
The wedding party took place in the same field were you two spent your afternoons. It was a small party where only your closest friends and family attended.
You two bought a small house near your parents place. It was perfect for you two.
Everything was perfect…

Telemark, mon amour.
Les quelques derniers jours ont été riches en rebondissements. Nous devions partir pour le chalet avec la belle-soeur mais elle a choppé la gerbe (que nous avons importée depuis la Belgique). Nous sommes donc partis seuls et étant émétophobe, j'ai été relativement angoissé à l'idée de me chopper le truc que je croyais évité. Finalement je suis passé à travers les mailles du filet et c'est tant mieux. Plus tard nous avons appris que le beau père y est passé aussi. On était contents de ne pas y être.


Nous sommes arrivés et avons pris possession des lieux. Le chalet se trouve à 850m d'altitude, juste en dessous de la limite des arbres qui dans cette région est aux alentours de 1000m. Il y fait entre 10 et 15 degrés en journée, le rêve pour moi. Mettre un pull et une veste en juillet, faire un feu en soirée, donc la nuit avoir 24C dans le chalet, et 5C dehors la nuit, encore une fois, temps idéal pour un gars comme moi qui commence à souffrir dès l'arrivée de 25C. Je déteste le soleil, mais le soleil ici est très doux, encore plus doux qu'à la côte qui en temps de canicule peut tout de même se manger du 35C.


Les journées sont centrées autour de ce que l'on peut faire avec les enfants. J'ai même envie de dire "de l'enfant" tant notre fils est compliqué à gérer. Les journées sont drainantes et je ne me souviens pas de tout mais ils s'amusent bien. Je prends V avec moi pour marcher un peu. Tout est encore trop compliqué pour elle mais elle est volontaire. Avec un peu de temps ce sera mon fidèle compagnon d'aventures. Je pense que le road trip avec B va être mis de côté, ou en tout cas peut-être ne faire qu'une nuit. Il est trop too much et je sature.

C'est une fois la "nuit" venue que je vis un peu ce que j'avais imaginé pouvoir vivre. Jamais les versions les plus folles, mais après 5 jours, je peux dire que c'était satisfaisant. Le deuxième soir, je suis parti jusqu'au parking du plus grand pic de la région pour faire des images de la lumière rasante sur les sommets des montagnes de la vallée. J'étais un bon trente minutes en retard par rapport à ce que je voulais faire à cause du coucher des enfants qui fut lent. Résultat je me suis embarqué de manière improvisée sur un trek de quelques kilomètres hors sentier. Contourné un des "genoux" de Gaustatoppen à sa base (passé de l'est à l'ouest) puis je me suis retrouvé à son sommet en continuant à faire des images. Pour redescrendre, c'était plutôt falaises et crêtes avec de grosses parties à dégringoler sur mes fesses.



C'était en fait un bonne préparation, car hier, je me suis soustrait à mes obligations pour faire LE trail attraction-touristique du coin. La météo était parfaite (8C au départ du trail à 1100m et une météo sans pluie). J'ai démarré vers 19h00 car trop de monde en journée. Si on ne veut pas voir de gens c'est facile il y a des trails pour des sommets cools à gravir partout où l'on pose le regard sur lesquels il n'y aura personne parce que tout le monde est occupé à gravir Gaustatoppen.


Le trail fait 4.5km de long pour une ascension de 700m sur une distance de 3.7km. C'est donc un bon niveau de grimpette, bien qu'il soit fort bien balisé, sa difficulté réside dans le fait que le sol soit principalement de la caillasse et des pierriers. Le premier kilomètre est relax, et puis tout d'un coup prend en difficulté avec le dernier kilomètre de sentier qui se réserve 250m d'ascension en pierrier. Tu es à 800m de sentier du sommet, mais tu vas y passer une heure.


Le sommet de Gaustafjell est à 1883m d'altitude, le plus haut sommet du comté, et en fait de toute la norvège méridionale. Par beau temps, 1/6 de la Norvège est observable depuis ce point. Toute la montagne était une base de communication de l'OTAN qui a dépuis été ouverte au public. Un ascenceur reliant le pied de la montagne au sommet a d'ailleurs été creusé à même la roche pour permettre au personel militaire d'atteindre la tour de communication. C'est assez dingue quand on y pense que le ventre de cette montagne a été creusé par l'homme. Cet accès particulier est lui aussi devenu une attraction touristique en toute saison doublé d'un remonte ski en hiver (la descente de Gaustafjell est très populaire à ski).


Beaucoup de roches en altitude ont cet aspect de sable après une marée. C'est en fait parce qu'il s'agit exactement de cela, pétrifié. Pour la montagne le temps s'écoule à une toute autre échelle mais il existe bel et bien. Je pense souvent au temps lorsque je suis plongé dans le silence des roches d'altitude. Pas un bruit, pas un murmure d'insecte ou d'animal, seul le vent et les éléments.
Lors des 200 derniers mètres, je maudits un peu mon choix car c'est le plus tuant du trail. Je suis resté motivé car avec le matos dans le sac, je me voyais passer quelques heure à faire des images, mais c'était sans compter sur le fait qu'à 1880m en Norvège, les températures sont négatives. En plus dès que je suis arrivé au sommet, celui-ci devint le lieu de passage de prédilection de gros nuages. Températures négatives + humidité dans le nuage = bon ben on descend. Il fallait que je reste en mouvement. C'est pas grave, la photo c'était le prétexte, le but c'était arriver au sommet.




Si lors des 200 derniers mètres avant le sommet on maudit la vie et on se demande ce qu'on fout là, la descente est presque pire car l'on se rend compte à quel point le trail est chiant à parcourir. En plus la fatigue aidant, les muscles commencent à bien tirer. Heureusement descendre prend moins de temps que de gravir.
J'ai fait des trails plus longs et plus techniques qui paraissaient moins difficiles, en Norvège notamment, mais aussi dans les Pyrénées (Brêche de Roland). Ce trek assez court est fatiguant de par la nature du sol et de son côté peu varié.
Arrivé au parking du point de départ, je constate qu'à 1100m, la température est à 3C. Fun. Cela veut dire qu'il faisait sans doute -5C là-haut!


Aujourd'hui est journée relax. J'ai les jambes qui tirent un peu mais rien de grave. Mes jambes sont bien entrainées avec le kendo bien que mes chevilles aient toujours tendance à valser d'un côté ou de l'autre pour une pierre qui bouge ou un trou non anticipé mais jusqu'ici, je ne me suis jamais rien déchiré.
Touchons du bois pour que ça dure.

Best Boiler for a Small House
Careful consideration of space, efficiency, and cost is needed when choosing the best boiler for a small house.
