You’re going to have to make do with a lesser service today. I store my photos on OneDrive and download those I think the least uninteresting as I need them and post them, but today, I have a ‘Network error when attempting to fetch resource.’ In other words, something’s gone wrong up there, and I can’t get to my store of images. I have some old ones on the PC which I’ll have to use. The view might be out of date, but then again, it might be exactly as it is right now. I don’t know. I only left the house yesterday to buy some milk. The rest of the time was spent either at this laptop or on the sofa surrounded by tissues.

So far today (and I’ve only been up for 10 minutes) things in the nose department seem calmer, and I’ve only sneezed once. This might be the effects of the drugs still doing their work, or it may be a natural improvement. I hope it’s the latter as I have to go to Yialos this morning for some bits and pieces, and I’m looking forward to the walk. Talking of which, I was walking recently when I saw this on the side of the road…

Why is there always only one glove? I was in London recently and I saw the same thing: a single glove abandoned by the side if the road. I saw the same thing in Folkestone (twice) and was tempted to take photos, but then I thought that was a little like photographing roadkill and decided against it. As it happens, I became a victim of the same phenomenon while I was away and managed to lose one of my leather gloves somewhere between Folkestone train station and the Leas. As I was in a taxi, I can only assume I dropped it in there, but I also like to think I dropped it by the side of the road, so someone else came past later and thought, ‘Why is there always only one?’ It’s obviously a thing, this one glove dropping… thing. I’ll keep an eye out on future walks, see what else I can find beside the road, and report back. Now, it’s time to start the day, get some work done, ‘nip’ into town, ‘nip’ back, get some shopping in, and get some writing done. So I’ll leave you with another photo taken last month. This may also be today’s view, I’m not sure as I’ve still not been outside yet, but as far as I can see from forecasts, it’s going to be a calm, bright day today, and the temperature is starting to rise.
