Where?s my dinner
A local ginger cat committing woodwork after Frost, before Melt, north along the rhyne ditch.
09:47 04 February 2007 Sunday and the Frost until 09:51
08:45 Monday the much heavier overnight basin microclimate frost, although there was little by midnight, had melted before this submission. It is that hour that makes the difference to survival when migrating to work in the local area.

Wot No Gabion
Portishead on the Portbury Rhyne Ditch.
Wall decorations, flood silt, facility collapsing, a piece of Bond Street Bristol gantry that bounces, when a curved arc concrete to mirror the rhyne would have been easier. The vandals set the bridge on fire with the local advertisements paper, the Wessex Water December 2004 closure put the water pipe below the river. The main route for School parents and other less friendly night time travellers.
A swan takes the mode of Darrell Weyman 1969 cartoon What and Get My Feet Wet, only that was a Heron.
