Winter planes

These plane trees in the centre of the village have only recently lost their autumn leaves and soon they will be sprouting new spring growth, so I thought I'd catch the stark shapes and shadows of their branches against the sky this morning while I was at the market.

One of those days when I wish there were more hours available - a lot of work to do, quite enjoyable but working on a MS which has long quotes in French, so a bit of an extra challenge. The geology photos from yesterday to process - some of them quite good, and I've started printing them onto OHP transparencies. Posters to make for the geology lecture and a draft for the June festival poster too. Trying to find time to think about my own writing. And I'm distracted by the sunlight, wishing I could be outside more, but enjoying seeing it from indoors too. Now I must get back to work - luckily LoJ is making our lunch of fresh mackerel from the market, filleted, and served with sautéed potatoes (our version of fish and chips).
