The View From Here

It was very foggy today across most of Britain. Visibility was no more than 100-200 yards all day. Strange, it's usually only this bad when there's a meteor shower. Despite living in the middle of a city there are still plenty of trees and parks. The trees in particular looked interesting against the foggy sky.

I took another snap during the early evening, about 6pm, when the darkness made the fog seem almost like a blanket of cotton wool had descended and covered everything. This picture shows two silhouetted figures in the distance walking through what almost looks like a snowy landscape.

Yup, Autumn's almost through and it'll soon be Winter.

A man from Scotland has just become the first person in the UK to die from rabies for more than 100 years. He was bitten by a bat. The bat carried a variant of rabies that's only found it bats, so we've not yet got rabid dogs and foxes, but I wonder how long it will be before we do? There were people opposing the building of the channel tunnel to stop rabies coming into the UK from the rest of Europe. Now we should probably think about stopping the threat from Scotland.
