On my doorstep

I'd been wondering what the annoying tapping, rattling sound was that I could hear out the front of our tiny, tatty lovely house and I found out this morning as I was leaving for work.

It was this beauty, part of a pretty rampant rose tree bush tapping against the window. My annoyance quickly vanished. How could I be annoyed at something as lovely as this?

After a bit of a fallow period a couple of opportunities have opened up on the jobs front for me. Still no sniff of anything for Rol. Fingers crossed, and all that.
