Playing Metaphor: ReFantazio which has some of the most stunning UI work I’ve ever seen. Meanwhile I can’t get the text boxes to reflow properly in my own game engine.

Parents are visiting so had a wee wander round Greenwich.

A 22km walk today. We saw hares, red deer, buzzards and about a billion pheasants. Scotland in autumn is just staggeringly pretty.

The view over Marlee Loch. Autumn trees at Loch of Clunie. Highland cows in a green field. A boggy field and a gorgeous sky.

Gorgeous day walking in Scotland.

Lucy by the river. There are autumn coloured trees in the background. Reflections on the River Ericht. Rolling hills. Hay bales in a big field under a big wide sky.

The pretty ceiling at Waverley station.
