Tuesday 15th May 2012
This was just a routine (working) Tuesday - but it was also
Aday - a day when photographers of all sorts from all over the world were being urged to capture their perspectives on life.
I thought I'd use this as an excuse to take a few more pictures than I would usually take on a working Tuesday. I also discovered that phenomenon of rain falling while the sun is shining has a name - in the UK at least it's a "
Monkey's Birthday".
24 pictures from today.
6:57 Real shirt on - must be a workday.
7:05 Breakfast - at least the first meal of the day is healthy.
7:39 Start of the morning commute - this is the hardest part to get back into after my six months away.
7:41 It's bin day on our part of Oxford - it's a recycling week, so it's the blue and brown bins.
8:26 En route to work - some of the commute involves sitting in a nearly stationary queue of cars.
8:46 Still en route to work - other bits of the commute involve sitting in a nearly stationary queue of cars on a dual carriageway.
9:02 Learning and Teaching Solutions at the Open University - only a couple of minutes later than intended (probably something to do with taking photos in the morning).
9:08 Desk view.
12:20 From the office window - storm clouds over the Open University Library.
12:42 My lunchtime walk - storm clouds look even stormier over the Institute of Educational Technology.
12:43 And stormier still over the Church
12:45 Hiding in the car to escape the seasonal lunchtime hailstorm.
13:12 After the hailstorm - Walking along the river Ouzel on the edge of the OU Campus. I suspect this canoe was washed here during the floods a couple of weeks ago.
13:16 Sunshine and clouds
13:18 Along the Ouzel, between the showers
13:28 Past the Hub - the main OU refectory and coffee shop. Still storm clouds around.
13:30 Educational Inspiration. A statue carved form an old plane tree that stood beside Walton Hall on the OU campus.
17:42 After an afternoon of meetings (both face to face and alone) past the OU sign towards the car park.
17:43 Not quite empty. Wasn't the first to arrive this morning, but wasn't the first to leave either.
18:12 Back in the queues. Almost as much traffic in the evening as in the morning.
18:53 Home again.
18:59 Other half got home first, so the tea is already underway. :-)
19:02 Although I suspect Dora may have her eyes on the turkey curry too.
19:15 But there was time for a brief walk round the still wet, but sunny garden.
