Joining the M3 on route home from Cornwall this evening. DM driving and a really good, traffic free journey. We've stopped and still matched our best time ever. Cool.

It’s been a busy, busy weekend, with DM spending most of his time in a cupboard under the sink and me charging around taking rubbish to the dump, gardening, cleaning and sorting stuff out. Phew – it’s a rock and roll lifestyle we lead all right.

I’m actually quite pleased with this shot – it’s a 30 second exposure and has some nice ‘stuff’ in it – a signpost (to Basingstoke, that architecturally delightful place….not), a lorry (hence the high up red light trail), red lights to our right which of course in the UK seems mad but we were joining the carriageway from a slip road on the left and a big block of headlights in our faces.

This is about 20 miles from home…..or 180 miles from home, depending on how you look at it. Me? I prefer the latter – Sandhurst feels like a place to stay while working these days.

We’re back in the land of pollution, frenzy and intolerance now – brace yourself, Linda, your nose is back on the grindstone in about ten hours from now. Groan.

I had a strange comment from a Guest on my shot of two years ago - presumeably a pbaser who didn't want to reveal themselves yet is accusing me of copying his/her work. It seems very strangely hostile given that I seem to see two or three of these shots on the meta gallery every week these days so, he/she's right - hardly original but whoever felt the need to tell me so in so hostile a manner should really get a life. Last year, we were stuck on a train for ages somewhere in North London.
