Day #105 Auto Awesome
I don’t seem to get tired of taking photos of the Grand Canal Dock. I snapped the photo on top on my way to physio this morning while walking up the back of the Canal basin over the locks. I didn’t really have any special feature in mind but the day was feeling springy and…
Day #104 A photo for a photo’s sake
I don’t know if I’ve just never noticed this plant before in our courtyard entrance or if it’s a new landscaping addition. Either way, I noticed the colours coming home today and was intrigued by the image. My husband actually had to pop his head back outside to see if I had gotten lost as…
Day #103 A Grand Soft Day
It is crisp and breezy. The trees around the worn out basketball court are rustling (actually, I want to use my favourite word that I learned from Terry Pratchett here – susurrating). The sky is mostly grey but is occasionally punctuated by diffused sunshine that makes it through the thinner parts of the cloud cover.…

Day #99 Nearly there
Only one more day left on my #100happydays challenge! Some of you have gamely stuck with me and others are probably sick of me cluttering up your feed with Dan Rather-esque* length posts on a daily basis. I’ll be honest, though, I don’t really want to stop! I started the challenge on a whim, without any real…
