'Matt' at the 'Daily Telegraph,' is without doubt the most reliable of today's cartoonists. Always relevant and rarely unfunny. Sadly this cannot be said for so many at the moment. Too many are busy insulting someone or just being bland and humourless. Matt is so popular I note the shops now sell birthday cards with his cartoons emblazoned on them as well as his annual book. I like this one, it comes near to my heart.
Yet another trip into town today, this time for a meeting that never happened. I expected something of an educational experience but found I would have been better off at home. Still the folks are nice and I did learn something in the end. There was a wonderful sky outside the window and I wanted to grab the camera and run out but was not in a position so to do. Heading towards the station the twilight was aching to be photographed yet I could not get a space to take advantage of it. By the time the train arrived it was dark. and I landed on the last train before commuterland comes alive. Considering the snow up north and the biting wind a picture of the old weir, I wonder if a mill stood here once, looks jolly in the sunshine. The river is very high however. Not very exciting but difficult to photograph at this place.
We ought also to remember Japans biggest mistake, the attack on Pearl Harbour, 70 years ago today.

When I first saw that middle picture, I thought it was of an old river lock, but being what's left of an old mill makes sense.
A weir and part of an old mill I reckon, late Victorian.
Pearl Harbor pic makes me think there must have been an order that was on the lines of "Park your ships in nice neat lines, double-tie them, side by side wherever possible, to make them especially easy to bomb, and to offer the poorest possible anti-aircraft defence."
