Out with Bella this morning, spotted this reflection - could not work out what is being reflected from.
The sun made this padlock gleam.
Solsbury Hill spied through a gate.
It had been another really cold night, as the frost lingering on these plants well after 9 am demonstrated.
Croci in full bloom.
Went off to teach at Kaplan College, but never got that far. I did get on to the UWE campus - more like limped on, as the van was belching white smoke from the exhaust and then made a terrble banging noise and smoke came out of the bonnet a few miles away from UWE. Cancelled my classes and waited for the recovery van to arrive. Luckily, I was able to hole up in the warm in the Music Technology staff office with decent coffee and a WiFi signal.
The chap in the recovery vehicle thought it might be the "big end", at which point my spirits sank. More optimistically, the mechanics at the garage in Larkhall think that's not the case but that one of the glow plugs they fitted recently has failed - will find out when they get to look at the van properly. On the walk home back up the hill, saw this indecipherable graffiti on the pavement.
Enjoyed my unexpected afternoon at home by finishing my book, and eventually acceding to Bella's urging to go for a walk. The weather is changing, and the clouds are coming in.
The sun shone over on Batheaston.
A balled up pair of gloves left behind.
This cat eyed Bella very warily as she trotted past, butBella didn't spot it at all.
Afternoon sunshine on Camden and beyond.
Looking West.
Inside a driveway that is normally behind locked gates, I spotted this sign - violators will be all shook up:-).
More chalk on tarmac - this looks like zebra crossing practice.
Another abandoned glove.
This day a year ago, I managed to get a rare photograph of Bella where she didn't look away from the camera at the crucial moment.
