12 October 2010. Flutterby

This little critter was just sitting on the ground. Very still. Dead, I suspect. I could have prodded him to check, but I decided to leave him in peace.

Very busy at work recently. Work and sleep. Not much time for much else.

05 October 2010. They demolished something

A building, probably.

I don't go along Princes Street very often but I had to go along there this afternoon and I was surprised to see a gap where I'm sure there hadn't been a gap before. (That's a gap, not a Gap. Perversely, a few doors to the left of this gap, there used to be a Gap, but where there was a Gap, there is now a Vacancy.) I can't remember what used to be on the site of this absence, but whatever it was, it clearly wasn't memorable. Nor do I know what is going to go there now, though there is a rumour that it might be an Apple Store. Which would be a cause for celebration.

Also a few doors to the left, also new, is an easyhotel. I don't know what the decor is like at an easyhotel, but I can guess; and the view through the window at top left of this photograph would seem to confirm my suspicions.

We watched episode 1 of season 5 of Dexter yesterday. It's still the best thing on TV. The writing, acting, directing, photography... everything is first class. Great to have you back, Dex.
