I do consider myself quite lucky to with my walk to work and to the supermarket as a good stretch is along the Nottingham (and Beeston) Canal. This morning the sun was shining, there were clear blue skies, and you could tell winter is not far away - my hands were cold.

It's strange walking through a train station foyer each day but not actually catching a train. As you can imagine, the place is quite busy at around 8:55 when I pass through, and the atmosphere overall is pretty good. I feel that if these people are getting on with their day, facing up to the cold and the daily 9-5 grind, then I should be able to do it too.

Through the station and across the road, this is the view down to the canal. The building on the left a courthouse, where naughty people (and innocent people too) meet their fate each day. I believe there are also cells in the building or one near by too, but I've not had that experience myself.

I did attend a few hearings in the building behind the autumn looking trees though, and lost my case. What an absolute load of fucking bullshit that all was. Anyway, down by the canal and these days it's only bars (not open at this time) you will see across the other side. These were factories in the past as Britain soared to newfound industrial heights, using the power of water, pffft.

Clearly 'we' were quite proud of this, and chose to slap BRITISH WATERWAYS in huge letters on the side of what are now storage, flats, a gym, underground car park, comedy club, and bar :)

Pretty happy it's Friday tomorrow, I doubt i'll collect 10000+ steps like today, we are heading to the pub after work for the first real team meeting :)

Cheers

I lived in Beeston as a student over 20 years ago! Great photos of the buildings along the canal. It looks just like the Black Country where I grew up 😊

Ace! :D Well I don't think things have changed much in 20 years, I was in Nottingham then too :)

Yay, thanks for the photos and the tour, I really appreciate it, at least I get to see the city 😊
Have fun tonight 🍻

Thanks Erikah! Bit of a headache today 😳😬

These pictures are beautiful. I literally live in a place that doesn't have season and I miss having a true Fall and Winter. Oh well, It makes the wife happy!

Ive been looking for that temperate place with no seasons - do tell!

Well if you're wanting to be in the states I'm in San Diego and the weather feels the same all year long except summer when it is pretty warm.

Ahh, right! Well, i certainly wouldn't cross it off the list and got as far as Carlsbad when I last visited that side of the world. Lots of people love the seasons, I'd be happy with temperature all year and visiting a season of choice on holiday :)

Carlsbad is nice! I'm on the the far south side San Diego myself.
