...and a Photo of a Bare Tree

Another cold grey day to start. Last of local Christmas cards delivered by carbon neutral method - me on my bike. Bumped into an old teaching colleague and we discussed the potential scary outcomes of the Dominic Cummings' Ministry over the next five years and the future for a clearly 'Anti-Brexit' Scotland. 
Could find no inspiration for a blip, so very lazily went into the back garden, tried a few of the 'artistic effects' on my camera and decided 'Toy' was the most interesting. 
Lucy's last night here so we are going to have another game of 'Ticket to Ride' tonight. Just wished she didn't have a ticket to ride for tomorrow as she flies back to Dubai. She livens the place up and it is always difficult when she goes away as the house is quiet and the mood flat.
