oxford canal, clematis, maggie the cat
I haven't had time to walk by the Oxford Canal on my way to work for a couple of weeks. It was great to take that route this morning.
The canal has changed. Suddenly the towpath is bright green and there are wild flowers everywhere. Not that I think the clematis above is wild--a garden escape, more like. Still beautiful, though.
Later, walked from the centre of town to a training session at offices beyond Osney Island. Always good to revisit the Island.
Meanwhile, watched DVD of Cat on a Hot Tin Roof (1958) this week. True, there are some dated bits but mostly it's such compelling viewing. There are moments that are spellbinding--and these aren't confined to Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor's performances. What is striking is the strength of all the performances, each character having outstanding scenes.
