A bit of good parking on double yellow lines.

As it started to rain, I walked up the road and turned on my other lights.

Now to swap my newspaper for my big stick.

Then I walked over to my spot in the rain.

I gave out one big BOING  to one car failing to stop.

Then one lorry and one Motor home parked on the double yellow line opposite again!

As there were traffic lights opposite the Co-op the traffic was backing up by me!

Finished in one piece.

My friends and I gathered undercover until it was time for me walk over to my spot in the rain.

Raining down, didn't have many kids to cross over, as the parents picked them up in their cars.

We finished watching the BBC Three series on 

Life and Death Row.

Truth

Life and Death Row Series 2

Episode 3 of 4

Life and Death Row tells the story of capital punishment through the eyes of young people whose lives have been shaped by it. With unprecedented access inside prison walls, it discovers what it's like to live with the threat of the death chamber, as well as hearing from victims and their families, and the family of those on death row - some praying for execution, some hoping for a reprieve. Each episode focuses on different aspects of the system - execution, punishment and the complex nature of 'truth'.

In January 2014, Waynesville, Ohio, 18-year-old Justin Back is brutally murdered in his own home. Two of his 19-year-old friends, Austin Myers and Timothy Mosley, are arrested and charged with his murder. However both give very different versions of events, begging the question, who is telling the truth?

With prosecutors seeking the death penalty for the crime, what will each one do to save themselves from the ultimate punishment? With access to the families of all three boys, the devastating nature of this gruesome crime and it's repercussions are revealed. It's one crime but will there be two different outcomes?

Forgiveness

Life and Death Row Series 2

Episode 4 of 4

Tyrone Trottie killed his wife Barbara and her brother Titus on May 3rd, 1993. He has been on death row for the last 21 years. An execution date has been set for a week's time. Tyrone and Barbara had a son together, affectionately called T.T. This is his story. T.T. was raised by Tyrone's parents, who for years kept the fact that T.T's father had killed his mother a secret from him. As a teenager he met his father for the first time behind prison bars and discovered the devastating truth about what his father had done. With Execution Day a week away, T.T has to prepare himself to lose a parent all over again. Will he forgive his father before he loses him forever?

 Love Triangle

Over eight mini-episodes, Life and Death Row: Love Triangle tells the story of Heather Strong, a beautiful young wife and mother, who has disappeared without trace. Concerned for her whereabouts, detectives bring in her estranged husband Joshua Fulgham for questioning. During his initial interview, police discover Josh had a pregnant lover, Emilia Carr. Growing more suspicious, detectives want to interview Emilia to find out what she knows about the disappearance of Heather.
