Sentinel II

Lovely day today. Clear skies. Sun's rays reaching us almost horizontally. Went out for a wee walk in it at lunchtime.

It's another one of these artefacts that surround us in the city, making no effort to disguise itself or appear unobtrusive. Is it a lamp or a camera, or both? Does it work or has it been many years since it last functioned? These things neither worry me in an aesthetic way or in a conspiracy theory-based way. I like them.

I'd had a vague plan for a while to go to a book signing event with Alasdair Gray this evening, but Fiona will be visiting her friend again. I will meet him one day, shake his hand and tell him he's an inspiration. Just not today.
