Drippy day

Give me cold and bright any day rather than drippy and dank which is how it was today. I couldn't think of anything to photograph except drips, so here is a drippy contorted hazel.

I didn't learn the excellent news about the new deal for Blip until this evening. It's a huge relief that it's going to survive. Of course, running without anybody paid to keep things together is a bit of an unknown. But it was clear that there were fewer blippers prepared to contribute than had been assumed - and I was wondering how the sums were going to add up for the membership  fees. But it's onwards and upwards for now.
