I went out wandering through some of our industrial estates. Grim and the light was poor so I didn't get any good shots. I know the area better now though. Time for a cup of tea and to hope my fingers warm up soon. Ad astra per aspera
This recent long, calm, fairly sunny, and quite cold (nothing like as cold as Southern England has had, strange to say) spell has been the first I have experienced, and this is my fourth winter up here now. "Any economic unit can emit money. The serious problem is to get it accepted" Hyman Minsky
Inflated inner tubes of car or (even better for lots of people) truck tires go down a snow-covered hill quite rapidly, once the snow is a little packed.

I've been at the "France show 2009". I've enjoyed these a lot more in the past cos I was actually looking at property, so could happily spend afew hours going around the estate agents and then retire to the wine stalls for "tasting". Now I've got no money and I'm not drinking, so those two planks of enjoyment were taken away.
I got some food, but it was horrendously expensive.
Still, it got me out of the house for a few hours. keep to the Fen Causeway
