Docks, somewhere

One from a while back.  In my mind this was Birkenhead docks from the rear of the overnight Stena ferry from Belfast, but the big ballast thing on the top of the leftmost crane says 'Belfast Harbour'.  Hmm.  Well sure it's either one or t'other, makes little odds.

Not much is sharp, even though I was resting the camera on the big steel thingmy at the back end of the ship.

Missy has just left us again, to complete her last semester before graduating later this year.  It was really lovely to have her home for a good long time - we reconnected and we were all sad when the time came to say goodbye.  It's going to be a year of change for her - come August she'll have to move out of her accommodation and that may well signal the end of her Oxford adventure. To where she goes we don't yet know - jobs are being applied for and there is vague talk of 'travelling'.  I said to her last week, Don't worry too much about the future - it has a habit of sorting itself out.  For now, all you can do is get the head down and get those grades up.

  1. Perhaps the vibrations from the ship's engine is responsible for the lack of sharpness?
    Graduating already? I thought it was just last year she went off to uni. Best of luck to her, whatever she decides to do.

    1. Ah yes you are probably correct. Likely I was habituated to them by that point so didn't even notice!

      Thanks for the good luck, Marcus - the years have flown in, its hard to believe she is nearly ready to move on to the next stage, whatever that might be.
