The autumn triangle - Deneb, Vega, Altair - and the Milky Way over our house last night. Annoying wisps of cloud that amplified the light pollution.

Lovely morning - no rain, no wind. Just my pleasant neighbours to greet my pups and me on our morning walk.

Slowly clearing the loft, found boxes of Lego. A quick EBay search shows these kits are ridiculously valuable. So I guess I’ll just have to reassemble them. What a chore.

My infinitely better half complains if I don’t label jars. She then complains that my labelling is rubbish. When I find a jar I haven’t used for a while, I begin to wonder if she has a point.
