Entrapment

These two desiccated sycamore leaves had been entwined on the thread of a spider web for days.

In anticipation of Storm Ophelia, I went out to record them in situ as the winds would undoubtedly blow the web and the leaves away.

Yes, I did see the lurid yellow and orange light from the time we woke up, and yes, I did see the red sun.

Met Mr Boyd, the orthopaedic surgeon, at Loughborough General Hospital this morning. He has, praise be, put me on the list for a knee replacement.

No promises of when it will be done. Since we're coming up to winter, there will be an increased demand for beds and non urgent surgery, such as replacements, will be put back.
