There’s a photo that’s been doing the rounds on social media for a couple of years now. It’s one of Neil’s from a few years back, and it shows the sunrise over Pedi. It’s from the same batch/time as the ones posted here today. The thing is, some sites and individuals have shared it claiming it’s theirs, or haven’t put a note to say it’s not theirs, leaving others to assume it is. If you’ve seen it, you know the one I mean, and I only mention it because I happened across the rest of the same shoot this morning, and thought I’d post these. They were taken one June. They’ve reminded me I need to get the Symi Dream calendar finished this weekend, that’s my priority.
Another may be to finally go for a short walk. I’ve been laid up with a daft cold for two weeks, but last night was the first night I was able to sleep without breathing through my mouth and waking up at all hours feeling like I’d swallowed a sponge. Hopefully, tomorrow, I’ll take a stroll and maybe even take some new photos for this blog.
The rest of the weekend will, as usual, be taken up with writing, and I have nothing else planned but that. Oh, and maybe some more YouTube video watching for research. Yesterday, I took a walk along the River Fleet in London. Rather, below London, because it was covered over a couple of hundred years ago, and is now part of the sewer system beneath the city. I watched a video about the history, system, Joseph Bazalgette and all that (didn’t know he also worked on the Tower Bridge design and other important things, we only hear of him for his sewers), and then went for a walk. Someone had kindly been down there with a camera and recorded several minutes of wandering through the tunnels with no sound other than the constant sound of water. Fascinating to see what I’ve recently been reading about, a labyrinth of large and small tunnels, some incredibly deep, some tiny, weirs, storm gates, mechanics, the lot. Very far removed from the images today, but it’s where I have to go later this morning as I press on with the next chapter.
So, I’ll go and make a start on my day, and will wish you a pleasant weekend.
