An exciting morning, 2 years ago Roger pulled someone out of the canal, and was brought home in his underpants in a fire engine. Sadly noone was around to see him, or take a photo but he made the front page of the local paper "Pensioner Hero" or some such thing. The fire chaps put him up for a Royal Humane Society Award, which the Mayor of Woking gave him today. My new thing was a tour of the fire station and fire engine, sadly couldn't drive it or go down the pole, Health&safety... but an interesting morning none the less. They're real heroes, get called for all sorts of strange events, discretion does not allow them to be divulged. Car accidents and water incidents are the leading cause of fatality, so maybe health&safety (regulations on fire retardant & smoke alarms) are good after all.
Today's work-of-art is a half finished morph from a wonderful red-brick&timber gable through a hanging lamp&geranium basket to a poplar tree with mistletoe. I may post it when finished.
