Tuesday stuff from Saturday...

byslantedlightSo... I finished this session's marking - huzzah! Very odd it is too - didn't know what to do with myself last night, not having to sit in front of the computer and decipher panicked handwriting for a couple of hours, so I watched some more Northern Exposure - one of my favourite ones, First Snow, which made me just a wee bit more homesick for Alaska... NE's pretty close in alot of ways (though the trees are way to tall for where I was... *g*)
Oh, and hmmmn - this is what my world looked like in February 2007!
But this is what my world looked like on Saturday, when I went off for an adventure somewhere new, which turned out to be the noisiest forest in the whole world...
There was mist, and a lake, and ancient, ancient trees...
And paths through clearings and through woods...
This was a lovely old tree...
And this one was an elegant old lady...
But this one had eyes... and this one had skellingbones dribbling down it! Ooooh... *g*
But over it all - Stansted airport! The M11! A thousand different roaring things, so that instead of feeling all peaceful for my walk, and quiet and still, the modern world was roaring and thrumming in my head and I had to get out of there! It was weird too - the deeper I walked into the woods, the louder it all was... Which is a real shame, because the trees were lovely - and properly old too, over 600 years, some of them - the "pollarded" oaks... Stoopid roaring world...
Except that stoopid roaring world also has Remakes, Reboots and Re-imaginings on at the BFI at Southbank tonight and I'm going! I'm going to see the lads on the big screen! Wheeeee! I suppose it's too much to hope that there'll be movie posters, but... *sighs happily* And there'll be an ep of The New Professionals too, which I've never seen, and which![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
agentxpndble very cleverly and timelyly posted about last night...
And now I suppose I'd better go to work for - whee, three hours! - so that I can hit the road and brave the cold and get meself to the big smoke... *vbg*

Date: Sunday, 14 February 2010 09:39 am (UTC)I've got to admit that I quite like visiting the fens, and all - I popped over to Anglesey Abbey yesterday - but I didn't feel entirely comfortable living there (House of Doom aside). I like trees too, and there's something that feels treeless about Cambs. east, even when you're staring at a tall tree!
It was a shame about the airport and the motorway - I did wonder if it'd be like that when I looked at the map, but... ah well, hey-ho! Still better to have the trees there - and it was a seriously busy place too, so presumably it's great for the locals!
