Many thanks for your appreciation of yesterday’s heron blip.

I’ve posted the above as today’s blip just because it is a) different from my usual style and b) all the ones in the extra have more red(dish) colours in them. It’s rain splashing off the gatepost at the bottom of the steps to Brathay Church. All were taken at Brathay. 

The first notable event of the day was soon after midnight when I switched the landing light on. It went ‘ping’ and I was plunged into darkness. No problem, the other upstairs lights were ok. What I didn’t expect was that when I got up around 6 am there were no downstairs lights working. A switch in the outside fuse box (consumer unit I think it’s actually called) had been tripped. I wasn’t going out in the dark so made a pot of tea using the torch on my phone and fortunately we have a floor standing lamp in the living room which was working.
