Just walking the dog

B &W day 3.

What a hideously dreary day. Not much photography potential. More Photomatix needed.

Last night was the worst night we have had here for fireworks, just when I thought Lizzie was getting slightly desensitised she is back to square one. Then as we were walking through the park at 11am in the pouring rain someone started letting them off nearby. I don't understand why the curfew doesn't run from 11pm to dusk the following day rather than 7am. Not that the curfew stopped some morons folk letting them off at 1am this morning. Still, hopefully just tonight and tomorrow to get through and things will settle down.

And my poor daughter has been a bit under the weather all week - nothing specific, then yesterday she noticed the rash. It's shingles - she has had it several times before, always this time of year, and fortunately always quite mild attacks. So she has been resting today (not a hardship for her) and getting lots of TLC. I have a house full of delicate ladies.
