What's black white & red & frequents the cemetery

Woodpeckers looking for a blip, of course! My camera was on the sunset setting but it thought I was trying to take macro shots of the burial chapel so the results were awful. Then some bloke came along and told me that if I wanted to take shots of the moon, I'd need filters! nearly sent him to the moon. Soon, it got really dark and a big dog started barking at me, so I went home. It was only 5pm!

Later, I am pleased to announce that the Christmas cake is in the oven, and I am just beginning to catch the spicy aroma. That's the good news. The bad news is that I can't' even look at it till midnight! Four hours... In other news, today I paid off the last of my credit card debt. I don't owe any of the banks anything. That's taken a lot of doing, and teaching the aromatherapy classes for the Japanese students have helped in no small measure.

To celebrate, I ordered a couple of books, but not TS Eliot's Four Quartets. I now think I must find a secondhand copy of this, as I was up far too late last night looking at Little Gidding for one of my courses. It was inspiring reading , though I did not understand all the references at the time.

Thank you for all the lovely comments on my Armistice day blip. They mean a lot to me, as Jack Petre and his aviator brothers do to our family. I am about to update the blip using further information supplied by my sister Tanya, aka TMLHereandThere. Today's picture was created using the PicGrunger app.
