    Back from the pub after an enjoyable evening

    My photographer friend has finished writing his book on the use of tilt-shift lenses

    The contract with the publisher calls for delivery of the finished manuscript on Monday. However, his wife hasn’t finished proofreading it yet, so he’s let them know it’ll arrive later in the week

    Meanwhile, over at the Polish café, the lights are still on and the security shutter only partway down. I would hypothesise that they’re working late, but I've just seen the couple who own it dancing vigorously, presumably to some music I can’t hear over here, so I think perhaps there’s been a bit of a private party going on over there

      More people dancing now - they must have been nearer the back earlier on so I couldn’t see them from here. Definitely a party in progress

        The party at the Polish café is over. I expect they all had a good time

        Meanwhile on this side of the road, the umpteenth rewatch of one of those films that works well as post-pub entertainment: Taken (2008), in which Liam Neeson uses a special set of skills to try to get a seat on the 17:58 Chiltern Railways service from Marylebone to Royal Leamington Spa, but is foiled when all the seats are… well, you get the idea. All good clean fun

        Goodnight all

          Morning all if all there be :wave

          Dry.

          Sunny.

          Frosty.

          Cold. 16 deg in here this morning and that's warm compared with the lean-to.

          Winter's on its way.

          Bedding in WM2.

          Should be cooked by 12:15ish.

          Might put it on the line after that.
          When the fun stops, STOP.

            Good morning lovelies

            Blue skies, fluffy clouds. 0 degrees

            As expected, yesterday's entertainment was indeed the remainder of The Boys. Ended well, I hope there's a second series.

              Second series is in production. Coming to our screens later this year. Woohoo!

                  I hope WTFH did not provide the entertainment....

                      I thought winter was already done?
