I see skies of blue and clouds of white, a bright sunny day, boats moored for the night, and I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Barges going upstream
smaller boats come down.
People sat together
very near to town …
I see trees of green, red houses too …
I was asked, by an electrician, on the way to Trinity this morning whether the hole in the road could have anything to do with the almshouses having lost half their power.
There was an electrical fire down a manhold cover in Ock Street on Saturday evening. As far as I know electrical supplies had been reconnected by Sunday morning so the electrician probably just needed to reset something. As to the hole in the road, I haven’t seen anybody working on it during Sunday when it was causing holdups to traffic.
My wife has not had a camera for quite some time, but bought one a couple of weeks ago. Since then she has been taking pictures – mostly of ripples. This is how they look on her facebook album ‘watery stuff’.
We met somebody on the Market Place today who said to my wife “You must be his other half”
That was a bit rude really. Still to a lot of people I am her other half.
Thanks to her for the ripples. Last one is light from ripples playing on the underside of Abingdon Bridge.
Today saw the third free Yeah Baby charity music festival – Abingdon’s Glastonbury.
All through the day there was entertainment, bands, stalls, facepainting, playbus, raffles …
It made the town a fun place to be. There were people going round with buckets collecting for the Yeah Baby charities. The music and fun carries on this evening at the Brewery Tap.
