The office I worked in yesterday and this morning has scrolling LED display of train and bus times. Also note the reflected wine glass as a reminder of the last nights evening of debauchery which ended up back there 😬 🍷

Went out for a brisk walk to get away from the keyboard for a while. Was doing so well, but gave in to temptation on the homeward stretch 😬 #walking #chocolate #sorrynotsorry

Planted some allium bulbs this morning, including some that will reach over 6ft which should be fun in spring. In the meantime, the front garden is still rocking some great colours. #bloomscrolling #gardening #flowers #silentsunday

Some pictures from our meander this afternoon. #walk #nature #outdoors

Photo looking down a wide canal. The water is still and there is a path to the left and trees on the other side.

I've had this "morning glory", Ipomoea climbing up outside the shed from seed. The flower buds are quite spectacular, can't wait for them to unfurl! #bloomscrolling #flowers #nature #gardening

It's a drizzly damp morning, but with the door open a bit so we can hear the birds and see the lushness outside, with a coffee, it'll do. #bloomscrolling #gardening #flowers #nature

Well, the sweet peas have had a good run but I ripped them out today, to make space for these two cheeky clematis I got delivered yesterday. #gardening #flowers #bloomscrolling

Still have new colours appearing around the garden, which is nice as it’s been quite dull weather the last few days. Not shown here, but there are tons of asters starting to flower as well. #bloomscrolling #gardening #flowers #nature

Morning! I've grown quite a few Agastache and verbena for the bees and they seem to enjoy them as much as I enjoy watching them with my coffee. ☕️ 🐝 #gardening #bloomscrolling #beescrolling #bees #flowers

It was cool to see even I wasn't anywhere exotic or high up. I hope you saw it. Here are my crap photos which I think add a lot to the science record. 😂
