Swinsty Reflections

The last picture is actually a portrait shot of a fallen tree lying in the water, but rotated to landscape it looks like an upright tree.

Swinsty Reflections

There was a gunmetal grey sky when I was out walking on Monday which made for some lovely mirror like reflections in the surface of Swinsty reservoir.

It was a lovely afternoon's walk - until I slipped and smacked myself in the mouth with my own hiking pole which resulted in a trip to dentist to repair a broken front tooth.

"...the governor of the region had suffered a rush of blood to the head a month or so before: he'd launched a crackdown on corruption, annoyed someone in the interior ministry, and shortly afterwards had been found dead in the banya at the bottom of the garden.  It was suicide, Steve explained, at least according tot he prosecutor's office and the local newspapers.  The governor had shot himself in the head - twice." A D Miller, Snowdrops.

"I said, didn't she mind that the people in charge seemed to spend half their time stealing ? Yes, she said, of course she minded, but there was no point putting new people in the Kremlin, because they'd just start the stealing all over again.  At least the ones in there now were already rich, so they could afford to think about other things too sometimes." - A D Miller, Snowdrops.

Ilkley Gig - Lady Maisery

If anyone fancies a bit of folk music, the all girl trio Lady Maisery are playing at the Manor House in Ilkley on Friday 13th Jan.  Lady Maisery released their debut album Weave and Spin last year and have been nominated for best debut at the Spiral Awards.

Get there early for a place in the mosh pit, also, I presume there is no bar at the Manor House ? Hip flasks of single malt at the ready then.
