Passing clouds of inconsequential observations
As we both had a day off, a rare coincidence, we went to the station…
and caught the first train that turned up; which took us to [W:Oxford].
We went for lunch at the Pieminister place in the covered market…
After which we explored the cavernous Blackwell’s book shop and then the Museum of the History of Science with its splendid lighting on the stairs…
but when we came out it was pouring with rain so we had a hot chocolate…
headed back to the station…
and home.
The patch of garden sometimes euphemistically known as the vegetable plot has been abandoned since the flood three years ago. Somewhat overgrown it was broken up and turned over and then cleared and levelled and is now returning to a usable state…
The digging did turn up the usual bits of broken china, glass and slate; and a goddess of the earth appeared blinking in the sunlight….
They never turn up stuff like this on [W:Time Team].
The experimental cheese bread was not entirely successful in one way but has all been eaten so was entirely successful in a way. Stronger cheese incorporated earlier will probably improve it.
A second loaf was required for those that do not enjoy the cheese as much as others.
More light free pictures, with a 60 second exposure, straight from the camera without any tweaking/Photoshopping. They are large: width=1500+ pixels 100KB+ downloads…
I thought the ciggie would leave more of a continuous trail. The lighting effect is low level ambient light….
The cat climbed over the garage and caused the motion sensor light at the front of the house to come on which illuminated the bush for about half the shot…
The tree from the other side….
Feeding the snake a (once frozen but now thawed) mouse….
I tried slowing down the snatch but it remains a blur…
Must be time for a high speed camera methinks.
