  1. Singer by the Leamington Lift Bridge was entertaining us between races. At one point he sang Scottish kid's song, "ye cannae shove yer granny off the bus", then repeated it, but in the style of Oasis!

    I don't even like Oasis much, but that was cool and fun!

  2. Harrison Park this evening. I was using the big zoom on the main camera to take close-ups of the gargoyles on the church tower earlier.

  3. Union Canal at #Fountainbridge Green this evening. Again very mixed skies, from patches of blue, to white clouds, to battleship grey.

  4. Grey, wet, dreich evening by the Union Canal, on the way home. Managed a good chunk of the day at the bookshop, but quite tired now.

    Glad I got in though, as I can't tomorrow: hospital & oncologist then. Better all be good news or I'll scream...

  5. Still very fatigued, so again only a short way to the old boathouse, sit below the leafy boughs of an old tree, and read for a while.

    Could do without the electric sparks on abused nervous system & sudden cramps in hands, though, chemo side effects, which are less than conducive to holding my book...

  6. Another self portrait with book, by the old boathouse on the Union Canal, this time The Red Sacrament by Sara Hinkley.

    About as far as I could walk today, totally fatigued from the vile chemo yesterday. Hour reading under a tree, enjoying the breeze and birdsong, to recharge enough to walk home. Still good to get out for a while.

  7. The bus back from the hospital dropped me close to Harrison Park. I'm very tired, rather sore & should probably go home & nap, but it's so nice outside, & I want some time under a shady tree, listening to birdsong. Then home.
