Return of the Red Pen!

Last night, we were once more back at the Little Theatre, this time to see "Woody Allen: A Documentary". Lots of archive TV footage, quite a lot of interview content and some great jokes. Poster sourced from namecreative.co.uk.

Today has been an indoor day, partly because of the weather and also because I have got stuck into the marking of exam scripts from my Hong Kong students. As ever, some good answers and some not so good ones… After lunch, decided that I had had enough for a while and took advantage of a lull in the rain to go out with Bella. She sniffed every single one of these cones intensively on the way down the road.

As it was pretty wet underfoot, I decided that we would not trudge across muddy fields today, so we went up past Perfect View. There we saw another example of Tat's handiwork - s/he has devised quite an elaborate tag.

This sign is at the bottom of a near-vertical slope (with a corresponding one at the top of the slope), which I would not think about trying to climb anyway.

More nettle flowers - I see them everywhere now that I am sensitised to them.

I imagined a very painful reason for just this one railing to be bent!

Walking back up round the hill on the mount, saw this pickup for a delightfully named Bath builder - he needs to go and do some work on Perfect View!

It was wet - the vegetation is thriving on this weather (better than the humans!).

Talking of wet, we managed to get home with just some drizzle to contend with. Just in time, as the heavens opened and there was a river running down the street and a mini-lake forming in our front garden.

This day a year ago, I was down at our little patch of allotment doing some occasional gardening, spotting loads of these moths.

It is Midsummer Day, and we have resorted to putting our heating on, as well as wearing extra layers. Time to go back to Greece (Symi is in the high 30s at the moment…).
