Two geese crossing the road. At a human person crossing point!

A dusky grey cat, sat on a metal street cabinet, against a brick wall. The cat is looking right at you.

I may have gotten. The car to the garage an hour later than planned, but the walk back was lovely.
Dappled light through trees, a soily path runs through. Water rushing over a small weir, trees surround while geese stare.

Glad to be back in York for #TAROS2025 tomorrow. A trip into town and a meeting on campus brings back a lot of memories.
A view of two buildings at the University of York: the Ron Cooke Hub and the Computer Science building.

It's too hot to be an 'End of Level Boss'

A grey/blue shorthaired cat, laying languidly on a warm pavement, in the shadow of a car (that is parked partly on the pavement, like an arse).

...and this is today's office.
A small desk, with a privacy surround, in the nonfiction section of a (public) library. Always bring a library to a party, Rose; libraries are good.

Our building is being re...networked(?) so the power is off for a week.

So this was yesterday's office (expect Tasha Yar to come back, confusingly).
A small meeting room with an oblong table, surrounded by chairs.

Post your favourite Doctor Who, wrong answers only.
Jonathan Creek (played by Alan Davies); a white man with curly hair and a duffel coat, stood with a bookcase behind him and a book in-hand.

This sounds quite familiar

I offer you this magical levitating cat (OK, OK, he's standing on a car door, but I was impressed). ☺️

Oh, hello Wayne Manor
Wollaton Hall, a stately hone, up a grassy hill surrounded my trees.

Some more of the bulbs I planted last year are starting to bloom. The daffodils are already having a good time, noe the Muscari show their faces too.
A small plant, a cone of little purple flowers, is starting to grown in between taller green leaves. There are old brown leaves and twigs on the floor around the plants.

End Of Level Boss

@vimtotime.bsky.social
A (lovely) cat sat (slightly menacingly) on a wheely bin on the pavement outside of a house. There is grass, instead of road, and trees, and some lens flare.

Given that I had ice on my car this morning, it's been a nice day for a little walk around campus. 🙂
A blue sky with a few fluffy clouds, the sun lens-flaring through. There are trees and bushes around a shallow lake, with birds stood on pipes (for a fountain) that are sticking out of the water. The lake is mostly still, with the sun reflected on the surface of the water.

Trig point, lens flare, signpost.

(In case anyone needs a new password)
A smooth stone obelisk (a trig point) on top of a craggy rock covered on one side with ice, blown smooth in the wind. A collection very large rocks, piled precariously on top of each other. There is ice on the ground and on the rocks, it almost looks like the ice is holding one large rock in place, stopping it from falling to the ground. The sun peeps over the rocks, cheekily flaring the lens. A green sign on a post: "public footpath To Hayfield" (pointing left) "to Edale" (pointing right). I went left...that's where I'd parked my car. Oh, the sky is very blue, with little wisps of cloud. We're lower down now, so there is not snow or ice, the ground is grassy and there is a dry stone wall in shot.

Yesterday's walk up Kinder Scout was surprisingly icey, but gorgeous.
Kinder reservoir, with a bright but cloudy sky overhead. From the top of William's Clough (lunchtime) looking back down the hill at the reservoir in the distance. A paved path runs right to left, showing the next steps. A bright sun breaks through the clouds with some accidental, but aesthetically pleasing, lens flare. We're high up now, the reservoir is far away in the distance, there is ice on the rocky ground. Ice clings to the rocks on the ground, lit by a bright sun in a lightly clouded sky. 633 metres.

Don't even think about it!
The power switch to a hot water boiler in an office kitchen with masking tape crossed over the switch, and "NO!" written on the tape.

Nice day for a little wander around Kedleston Hall (and yes, there was a scone involved 😉 @nt-scones.bsky.social )

@nationaltrust.bsky.social
The back of Kedleston Hall, an 18th century country house, with windows, columns, and a double curved staircase. The sun is shining on most of the façade, and there are thin clouds in the sky.

Sometimes the walk along the river is nice, even if you do just end up at the bus stop.
A wide, still river with the low winter sun flaring through the camera lens. Trees and bushes line the riverbank. A boardwalk takes us under a low bridge, alongside the ricer. The low winter sun peaks below another bridge, ahead of us, and reflects off the still river water.

Ice flow, nowhwre to go, ice flow, nowhere to go, lost on the blinding whiteness of the Tundra.

UoN is still very icy. 😊
A small university lake, partly frozen over, cracks have formed and small channels of liquid water have opened up between small patches of ice.

Mmm, nope it says there's no saved notifications.

I tried scheduling, selected 'Later', and then checked the scheduled notifications...

I'll probably just select 'allow' but I thought I'd mention this, since you'd reminded me to try it.

An upland portal?
From a walk, three years ago today.
A grassy hilltop on Brant Fell. There are shrubs on the left and rocks on the right. In the distance is Lake Windermere. In the middle of the shot are two old gateposts, empty, without gate or fence or wall; a portal to another realm?
