I don’t remember these windows ever reflecting sunlight like this when I used to work behind them (before the redundancy before last). I do remember the alley - which leads to the back entrance to the prestigious Oxford Union - being as permanently rubbish-strewn as it was this morning.
 
Kicking rubbish out of an image (as I did) is just as inauthentic as Photoshopping it out. Discuss.
 
Our French guests spent the day in Warwick so I spent some of it in the hammock, reading, dozing and occasionally peering over the side (extra). We had a very convivial evening after they got back – we have been extremely lucky with the people allocated to us for this visit.
