A disappointing start to the morning - very misty despite the forecasts of sunshine (which did materialise later on).
Walking Bella, I saw this van - I expect it gets pulled over quite frequently by police…
I mentioned proofreading in yesterday's blog title - I realised afterwards that I did not explain that. I am doing a bit of proofreading work, and continued this morning - until Microsoft Word crashed on me. I took this as a sign to get away from the computer - so I went and started getting ready to reset some of the tiles in the kitchen.. This took up quite a bit of the day (and the replacement tiles aren't on the wall yet…)
Went out with Su for a break, driving through Bath - past St Mary's church at the bottom of Bathwick Hill, which looked great against the sky.
Driving up Edward Street towards Great Pulteney Street.
Afterwards we took Bella for a bit of a walk - past a neighbour's newly trimmed tree.
Then we swung by another neighbour's allotment to pick (by invitation) some of her raspberry crop while she is away - very nice!
Bumped into another neighbour who gave me a thank-you bottle of cava for dealing with the collection of some mattresses from their house while they were away on holiday. Very nice again!
This day a year ago, I parted with a large amount of money in exchange for a van with working gear box and clutch - should get the value back when I sell the van! Saw this solo child's shoe left on a wall…
Last night we went to see"Anna Karenina" with Keira Knightley and Jude Law. It was very cleverly done - but after a few scenes, both Su and I got bored with the tricksiness of it and the cartoon nature of the story-telling (plus we aren't very sympathetic to wealthy, pre-revolutionary Russian aristocrats and their preoccupations). This is one of the few films we've ever walked out of. The rest of the audience seemed riveted - maybe that means we're philistines (but we know what we dislike!).
