Damp and cold but lovely:)

Thanks to everyone for lovely feedback yesterday on my moon shot:) I was so surprised - I’m never at all sure what the blip world will like. Really appreciated.
One thing I did today was deliver a bundle of Totterdown community newsletters. So interesting to go up to every single front door in streets I normally do through quite fast, either walking or driving. Plus finding various flats and dwellings in little courtyards off the Bath Road, some really old. It’s quite a good workout too, up and down steep hills:-)
In the evening I watched - for the Friday night stream with my Orkney friends- Compartment number 6. It’s a very long train journey under taken by a Finnish woman from Moscow to Murmansk in the arctic circle. She has to share her sleeping compartment with an angry, heavy-drinking, rude Russian man. She’s an archaeologist heading to Murmansk to see ancient petroglyphs, he has some building work at the coal mines. There’s a bit of symbolism of Russian resentment and defiance towards the west in there. But mainly it’s a surprising story about getting to know someone from a different world.
