Koi-nobori

Thursday is Going Out To Work day for me, which means an early start and a 45 minute drive to the university in the next town over. It's a bit of a pain in the winter when it's dark and potentially snowy but most of the time I enjoy the drive. The roads aren't too busy and I get views like this when I'm stopped at traffic lights:

After classes and lunch it's an hour drive back, straight to my afternoon class at a community centre. H's mum comes over to look after K while I'm out and I usually get home again around 3.30. Today when I got back I took K out for a walk and managed to take a picture of some koi-nobori, the carp banners I wrote about the other day. Don't they look great?
