Chilly bench and bare trees

Not getting to bed until 2.30 am left me in two minds about going or not going to today's Music Group session, but I somehow managed to drag myself out of bed and made it over to today's host's place. I?m glad I did. We had the biggest turnout in a long time, the selection of music was varied and hugely enjoyable, and all in all it was the perfect way to follow on from the trip to Barcelona.

I took it easy when I got back home, just managing to fit in a short stop-off at St Anne's Park nearby for the sake of Blip. It was a bright evening, though with a strong and quite chilly wind (much, much cooler than even the evenings had been in Barcelona), so I didn't hang around very long. I was taken by this rather sad and gaunt-looking group of trees near the rose garden, and perhaps even more taken by the bravery of the guy sitting on the bench despite the chilliness. I was glad to get back home to my nice warm house.

The evening and night were uneventful.
