Not back at work yet
Tuesday 4th January 2022
I should have been back at work today, but decided to take this week off as I needed to spend some more time out in the fresh air etc.

Erika wasn't due back at school until tomorrow, so we had a nice lazy morning slobbing about the flat.

14:56:08
Later on I went to the heath. Here's a squirrel.

15:04:57
The barrow.

15:05:00

15:10:21
The view from the barrow.

15:25:16
Some blue sky emerging.

15:25:20

15:26:25
A bit of pre-sunset sky seen through the trees.

15:28:43
Into the woods.

15:30:36

15:34:24
Back to one of my favourite spots.

15:35:06
I thought it might be good to stick to sparkling wine while my sense of smell was recovering.

15:35:09
...although I can't seem to get the label in focus.

15:38:48
Thre we go - Breaky Bottom Cuvee Sir Andrew Davis. I think my sense of smell was more or less back to normal by this point, as this was pretty much as I remembered it.

15:39:42
Not really an ideal place to watch the sunset, but I like this spot regardless.

15:44:52
Short video so you can hear the birdsong etc.

15:47:46
More pictures of the glimpse of the sunset through the trees.

15:49:58

15:52:37
It was a bit chilly so I'd put on my Haglofs jacket over the top of the usual tweed. Lovely to be outside though.

16:04:11
The sky going quite pink now.

16:04:25
Zoomed in a bit.

16:09:35

16:10:09
Another video surveying the scene.

16:10:45
More pink/orange sky through the trees.

16:11:04

16:11:22
Looks a bit like it's on fire here.

16:13:23

16:13:27

16:13:41
More of the same...

16:13:48

16:16:29

16:16:37

16:19:03

16:37:26
Emerged from the woods now.

16:38:14
Tail end of the sunset seen from a more open spot.

16:39:04

16:39:28
You can just about see a very thin sliver of a crescent moon here. It was rather beautiful.

16:41:46
The London skyline seen through the barrow.

16:43:35
The barrow again.

16:47:25
More last hints of the sunset.

16:47:29

16:48:30
That crescent moon again, so beguiling.

16:49:08

16:50:32
Nice sky here I thought.

16:51:41
The top of Parliament Hill with silhouetted figures.

16:55:50
As I was leaving the heath.
