19:33:36 On arrival on the heath. | 19:38:54 I initially headed to the top of Parliament Hill, thinking it would either be empty or populated with other people similiarly disinterested in the sportsing. | 19:43:54 ...which was the case for a while at least. | 19:48:38 ....although eventually some idiot came and sat on one of the benches and to watch the kickety ball on his phone, with the loudspeaker on. |
19:58:35 So I eventually decided to head to quieter parts of the heath. | 20:01:35 Which was a bit of a shame as the view of the city was quite nice this evening. | 20:03:53 Even though it was a while before sunset I liked these pink hints in the sky. | 20:03:59 |
20:04:32 I think this one came out quite well. | 20:07:05 Anyway, I eventually couldn't stand having to listen to the sportsy inanity on that guy's phone so I headed off to elsewhere on the heath. Here's a squirrel. | 20:53:55 ...happily much quieter by the barrow. It stated to rain a bit while I was sitting here which was nice - I was sheltered by this tree overhead and the sound of the raindrops dripping off the leaves was lovely. | 21:08:59 I cleaned one of my brogues a bit with a dock leaf. |
21:10:02 The bench next to where I'd been sitting. | 21:13:01 Heading back through the trees. Nice and quiet here as well, just the sound of birdsong. | 21:18:36 Me looking quite pleased at escaping the madness. | 21:24:08 Empty on top of Parliament Hill now - the rain must have driven them away. |
21:24:16 London by night. | 21:24:42 | 21:26:45 Those irritating people who had been listening to the sportsing on a phone also left their litter behind. Awful. | 21:28:38 Seemed like an odd place to leave one of those rental bikes. |
21:33:52 Heading back past the bandstand. | 21:41:00 A fox on the way home. | 22:08:08 Unfortunately the madness was still continuing when I returned home so I sought some solace in the garden. | 22:38:30 Some leftover generic Burgundy from the other day. Surprisingly not bad. |
