    Some ex-Swansea Institute of Higher Education fine art students paint as a group locally, and sell their paintings. They knocked on doors on our estate, knowing that everyone was new and decorating their houses. Kim saw lots of their artwork and picked out some paintings for the house. All were excellent, but this painting of…

    I popped up to Whitesprings to fish yesterday evening, and to see a friend that was visiting. I’ve never seen so much water fall out of the sky. And my umbrella leaks. I spent most of the time feeding the ducklings and sitting in a puddle.

    I’m really behind on blogging photos from my phone (work’s taking up too many hours) so here’s a bulk batch. The boy on his bike. He needs lots of practice – but then again, I need to make some adjustments to his bike too. Blanking when bass fishing isn’t too bad when the scenery usually…

    Some random photos from my office today. We’re into head and neck anatomy this term. Don’t worry, they’re all plastic. Except the plant. That’s just thirsty, and not too leafy.
