From aboveFrom above – feet in the chippy.  C feeling dreadful the TN is back with a vengeance so it was off to the chippy for me.

Bit of a mixed day off, breakfast at the Tom, little light shopping and then back.  Day was a mix of showers and sun.

Lunch with herself.  Then a kip.

From BelowFrom Below leads me to the bridge at the station.  It’s a place I’ve photographed sporadically because I love the industrial nature and lines it offers.

Odd day, no idea how it finished up but I do know I have a phone to code in the morning so that’s not too bad.  Still struggling with HBB but did a regrade.  Another cycle to work, came back on the bus.  Phone C from below on the double decker she lets me know who I’m feeding.

Elsie has apparently been sleeping most of the day.  C is worried.
