Asda had good supplies of everything today — even toilet roll and pasta. So we stocked up for the week (what day is it?) and then shot off to Carnforth to try to get a quick walk in before dark. We didn’t quite manage that, so it was a mostly dark one again.
But that gets you a couple more Morecambe sunsets. Yay. This one below is about as clear a dusk view of the Lake District as you can get. Just so you know, that glinty bit in the middle isn’t a lake — we’re not that close — it’s just a gap in the clouds.
Isn’t it amazing how the sky can look so many different shades within a couple of minutes?
And look, still blue over this way.
We went to a different stretch of the canal this evening. I like this part — it’s almost my favourite bit, but not quite. I think I just like it because it’s very clean. Well, the paths are nice and tidy. I’m not sure if the water’s clean enough to eat any fish you might catch from it. My brother once accidentally caught a duck in his fishing line on a different stretch of canal. We didn’t eat that.
More pretty bits.
Ooh, very good reflections here. You know how much I like reflections.
When things are normal and the weather’s good, there’s a perfectly placed pub right around the spot you might think of stopping for a rest. It’s called the Canal Turn. It was hilarious a few years ago when someone crossed out the ‘C’ on the sign.
Apart from the nice, refreshing pint you can get here (in normal times), it’s got orange fairy lights. Where do you get orange fairy lights?? Because I want some.
More fancy canal views taken with the trusty iPhone.
Very fancy.
And one last one, less fancy because the trusty iPhone doesn’t zoom well at night. This is twinkly Grange, which we saw a few nights ago, but was even clearer this evening. Maybe I should invest in a proper camera. Hmmm.
It was very dark on the canal by the time we were almost back to the car, and Matthew mentioned that it was good we hadn’t spooked ourselves with any talk of zombies or just ordinary monster type things. I agreed. Then, I think in an attempt to spook me, without warning, he screamed, ‘HELP! SHE’S TRYING TO KILL ME!’ I did a swear, Matthew laughed his head off, and that was that. I never got out of him what he was trying to achieve with this, but he found it hilarious, so that’s nice.
Until tomorrow, dahlings.

Addendum
I forgot to add the super moon! Here it is. Gigantic! iPhone wasn’t happy about this either, and made it look like a sun. Pfft.
