Impressive and developing sunrise this morning #DailyBalcony
Red sky behind the buildings across the creek, some lights reflecting in the water Quite dark looking west down the creek - lights of the buildings still bright Red sky behind the buildings across the creek, some lights reflecting in the water

I have largely given up cycling round this corner as too many drivers approached the blind bend too fast to react to the unexpected

The camera makes the sky more visible more impressive than it actually was #DailyBalcony

Signed on behalf of Tizzy who has been hiding out most evenings for the last week and hid behind a bookshelf she was so terrified by the relentless bombardment on Saturday night

More sunshine for the #DailyBalcony. Tizzy basking in the sun coming through the balcony doors. She seems to have recovered from last night’s fireworks
Total clear sky looking over the creek and buildings to the east The view west down the creek with boats and buildings. Low water and the sun largely behind gives a Mediterranean feel A small black dog on the back of a sofa basks in the sun streaming through an open glass door

One of the reasons I reduced my cycling is because drivers would try to overtake on this bend. One of them managed to do this to a bollard beyond the edge of the road, it doesn’t bear thinking about what would have happened to a cyclist or pedestrian
Bollard flattened by an impact with a dangerously driven vehicle- part of the vehicle remains on the ground

Bollard down - but it clearly inflicted severe damage on its assailant while doing its duty

Concrete bollard flattened and some plastic car parts next to it
