Confirmed: I’m off for a few days to Amsterdam next Monday. The booking failed at the last moment on the first attempt so I didn’t get the hotel I really wanted, no disaster- the one I did get should be OK. The idea is to do the galleries, and walk and walk. If there is net access in the hotel, I can post more here next week (it’s more likely that they provide wireless access but no machines).
St. Kilda: 513 downloads in one day!. That’s faster then the Chernobyl scenery in its first day. I’m really surprised at that since it seems like a more obscure area.
Dorset: I came back early, the weather was poor and the county rather crowded at this time of year. I wasn’t quick enough to get a video like this, but here is Portland lighthouse’s for horn. They switched it off just as I was getting the camera out.
22°C, clouds, light rain.
Dorset: heading down south tomorrow, so to get in the mood- I made this for FSX flight sim.
Cycling: 71 miles, but at no real pace, it’s too hot to go fast.
Linseed: Hmm, strange, the colours look a bit de-saturated in this photo. Anyway, the last effort was to reduce the slightly flat tones in the legs.
First day of the summer break, in a way the best- the whole holiday is ahead of us .
Leonard Cohen, A Thousand Kisses Deep:
This gave me the shivers the first times I heard it.
Hammock: after work, ride home and make an early supper. Lie in the hammock to eat, then fall asleep. After dozily waking slowly, watch the blackbirds and a robin not more the 1 metre from my feet. That’s the way to start an evening. I’ve watered the plants and later will put some bird seed out so our avian friends can sleep without rumbling bellys.
