The Basin

I know it's really now spring but all I could think about today was how lovely the winter sun was, winter for it is still far too cold to be spring. The sun rose and warmed the day, it was nice to be able to be out and not have to worry about thoughts of rain...

The twins were at the rink today from early afternoon for an off ice session before taking for the ice for their club time and then a coaching session. It was one of those days I resented being there, I usually love to watch them skate, seeing the pleasure on their little faces as they hurtle across the ice and launch themselves through the air or into dizzying spins , not today today all I wanted was a little time to be by myself, selfish I know but there it is and I was grumpy as a result.

I wandered around the old docks, gone now the working boats I used to watch as a child, there are still one or two small industrial boats in the adjacent basin but here a few pleasure craft are now moored. It is a strange sight to me but as I thought, it will be all the twins know of this place. I didn't get much I liked but the shot of the bollard and the chains seemed to represent how I felt today, shackled!!!!!

I hope this feeling passes as I do not like myself when I feel like this, the twins are such amazing little people and really deserve better than grumpy dad!!! I hope you enjoy the shot and I hope we know see pee of the sun
