Pea Soup

The fog this morning was cool..
It was just dense enough to soften the edges of objects in the middle distance, obscure anything a long way away and yet still clear enough to pelt along at 80 miles an hour safe in the knowledge that nothing was going to emerge from nowhere and cause you to have to slam on or take evasive action.
It really gave everything an otherworldly and ethereal quality (and before anyone asks, no ethereal was not today's "Word of the Day", that was obfuscate - so neh!), it was like driving through a Peter Jackson movie or as if a 70's prog rock band had left their dry ice machine on the hard shoulder. Anyway, it was very cool indeed, and it's only a pity that I couldn't operate the camera on my mobile and drive in the outside lane at the same time otherwise I'd have some nice shots to illustrate this posting. Remember kids: using your mobile whilst driving is illegal. Tut tut.

It's getting a bit nippy in the mornings though isn't it?
Anyone would think it was November or something.

So Guy Fawkes' night has been and gone, Halloween is but a dimming memory (everything over a couple of days is a dimming memory when you get to my age it would appear) and so it must be nearly Christmas.. and more excitingly New Year. I sat excitingly as we have babysitters for New Year's Eve so will be out for the first time in three years.. so have to plan now what to do..
