I sleep appallingly, last night no different. Positive ? I was up at 04.30 doing the kids ironing, that eases the rush between 07.00 and 08.30....when peace descends :smile:
I shall be having a nap later...

And edited to add..raining at 02.30 ish...never really heard it stop all night, worse now !!!!

Good morning from a fourth floor hotel room in very wet and miserable Nottingham. Today's view is over the rooftops with the NTU building just off to the left.

Coffee and a shower have been had, next up is breakfast in town with the train home in just over an hour. Waterproof jacket required.

Morning.
It is grey and tipping down here in Upper Cumberworth.
It was sunny yesterday. I saw 3 cyclists. One was on a minty green Bianchi, the other 2 were on black bikes.

I remember when all Bianchi bikes were cerise and you only saw them in sunny weather. I also remember when all Whytes bikes were black.

Meanwhile, back to the weather: it started drizzling around 6pm last night, got heavier (anyone who watched the Wembley game last night will know that it was pretty heavy throughout the game), and I don't think it's stopped since.

Just waiting for the train to divide (the rear two carriages stay at Nottingham*) and then we're off. At least it's now merely raining rather than persisting it down so I don't have to put up with soggy jeans for the day.

* And before someone says it, yes I am in the front carriage.
 

nothing new or fantastic, a D90 body. it will replace my D100 eek! got that from my last employer.

it was getting unreliable. it is old & beat up

I went mirrorless with a bridge camera for my kids HS graduations & its wonderful for all kinds of things but too many menus. nice to use a regular SLR sometimes. the flash I got for the D90 is a pre-owned, like new, Nikon SB-900. I'm pretty excited about that!

the other camera I use a lot is Lumix DMZ-FZ70, w/ a 20-1200 zoom. perfect for graduations

but I can't compete with some folks around here, in the "your day's wildlife" thread. some of those bird photos & others, incl. closeups are so great & sharp
