Tree design

It was a bright, frosty day, and the sun was caught behind the large tree in this park. It captures the fractal nature of the branches very well. Plus it looks as though it’s coming for you.
This was a case where I chose the better photo over the one which tells a story. In the extra you can see a clip from a gig I went to tonight. Jason Isbell in Bristol, he was very good. He’s a little bit country, a little bit rock n roll. It’s been a while since I’ve seen a 5 piece band doing just good songs with no frills. It was like seeing a  good 4-4-2 formation, you’re reminded why it works.

Echoes of a guest

At the hockey last night (which we won 7-3, go Devils!) I  saw that Christian Payne, aka [url=http://documentally.com/]Documentally[/url], was after a B&B recommendation in Cardiff. I offered to put him up, so he turned up when I got back. We drank tea, had a chat about social media, and running. Then this morning I took him for a muddy run along the canal. He gave me a bottle of wine, thanks Christian.

Not quite there

This was the weekend we (the Cardiff Devils) were supposed to move in to our fancy new Ice Arena Wales. To absolutely nobody’s surprise it isn’t completed yet. I’m sure it will be fab, when it’s done. You’ll probably even be able to get a decent cup of coffee there.
