Empty Playpark

The day started very cold. According to the Met Office, it was 3°C outside, but the grass told a different story. It has warmed up a bit since the morning, but there is still quite a bit of frost in areas shaded from the sun. My partner and I walked to the local Post Office for the last posting of 2024. Then, we went to that cheap supermarket (call me Al) to see what they had for a light Boxing Day evening meal (not a lot of choice for vegetarians!). We did find a few things in the freezer section, and they do a nice spicy smashed avocado. The photo was taken on the way home. Schools don't finish until Friday, so it was empty.


After work, the sky was still quite clear. But by the time we reached the viewpoint, there was only a slight yellow on the western horizon. With a lack of clouds, oranges, and pinks, I decided not to photograph the dusk (sunset was over 45 minutes earlier). It was quite a clear walk, though, and warming up. No ice. It was very dark by the time we got home.
