Nice walk today

[fivemack]

A very easy walk: my housemate gave me a lift to the top of the local hill, and we walked around it for an hour and a half. The weather was crisp and cold and the light attractive; there wasn't much haze, so you could see across the Vale of Gloucestershire. The Malverns with Great Malvern at their base were obvious, you could clearly see Tewkesbury Abbey, just about make out Gloucester Cathedral, and see towns out to Worcester. There was a faint suggestion of brightness just barely visible in the far distance, which I think must have been snow on mountains in central Wales.

No, I don't think a single 400-pixel-wide photo needs an LJ-cut tag; it's no larger than a reasonable text entry, and with "width" tags it doesn't have any effect on page rendering times even on a slow connection

In any case, on a slow connection one can set for images to only download on request. I've done that, despite being on broadband, to avoid the width problems.

Nice view ;-)

The landscape is surprisingly ungentle there. A colleague a few incarnations ago was proposed to by her husband on top of the Malvern Hills.

I realised while writing Christmas cards that I have a mathematician friend in Cheltenham who you should meet. I shall descend in 2005.
