First mists of autumn

Cycled in to work the other morning and the mists over the river were amzing - from the Freedom bridge, it wasn't even possible to see the other side of the river when normally it is possible to see all the way up the Island and beyond.

really rather eerie with little traffic on the river and then climbing out of the mist was a strange experience especially as the office was in bright sunshine and blue skies whilst the lower half of the city was wreathed in primeval mist.

Katy and I went to see our kids in the zoo

Thanks to Piers and Dori, Katy and I are proud parents and grand-parents - to Ebobo, a male lowland Gorilla (very large, very handsome and like his dad, likes his food) and to Lizzie, a pink flamingo who has her own daughter, although in a crowd, it is a ittle difficult to pick her out.
