So I wasn't expecting that - a cycle back from Zumba in the rainy dark. Having been feeling very self-satisfied at remembering many of the moves for this particular class, I got a rude shock at the rain shower outside as I was leaving. Was quite bedraggled by the time I wheeled the bike inside. And it had been quite pleasant with sunshine most of the day.
Dave returned not long after me having been at a leaving do for his colleague P. Stuffed with party nibbles he didn't want to partake of my baked potato supper.
3 good things
1. Finally knuckled down and whipped up 500 words for my regrading statement.
2. It rained on the way back from Zumba not on the way there.
3. The Divine Order - what a fab little film about women in Switzerland finally getting the right to vote - in 1971 ffs. Never take the rights you have for granted - hard won by generations before us.
Love the reflections from rainy night photos, and you have done a nice job of giving us some insight to the “feel of this interaction. Well done, and I must admit motivating for me. I had a run for awhile where I did more nighttime shooting than I do now. We lived in a wonderful small town with a picturesque “uptown” that is very accessible, and we moved about 15 minutes away last summer…..now I don’t seem to get over there as much.
Heard from Radio yesterday about cycling in Europe, one comment is never cycle in London, The cars are said to be very aggressive. I wonder if it is true.
Saw this on the PP what a great shot. The weather looks quite miserable but the reflections on the headlights on the wet road look fabulous.
Similar weather here in our part of the world at the moment too and we are supposed to be in Spring here in Australia. fav
@yaorenliu so yes in a way it is true - we have some very aggressive drivers but also some considerate ones. We also unfortunately have some inconsiderate cyclists who give us considerate cyclists a bad name! However the one good thing about London is that the cycling infrastructure is very good and improving all the time. There is a whole network of 'cycleways' - proper segregated cycle lanes that go in and out of the centre of London so you can commute relatively safely. And in my borough where I live again we have many proper cycle lanes - so in this picture I am in a segregated cycle lane waiting to cross the junction over a dedicated cycle crossing. Makes it easier to avoid the aggressive drivers :-)
