Today: Ice crystals on van: Frost outlined leaves, Newmarket Rd: Frozen leaf puddle: Ice crystals on brick wall, Ipswich Road

Another bitterly cold day delivering. Eyes are mostly on the ground, checking for hidden ice patches. A colleague fell on ice at work in the morning and smashed up her face. When I lift them it is the beautiful furry ice crystals, which linger for the whole day, which catch my eye.

Enjoying my electric van, the quiet of it and it’s cleanlinesses.

Today: Quince, Newmarket Rd: Green growth, Ipswich Rd: Blossom, Mount Pleasant.

A return to work after a weeks holiday in an endlessly snowy white Nordic landscape. This British, darkish rain threatening overcast day, feels by contrast lush and colourful. Green moss covered walls and brown mulching leaves catch my eye as do fruits rotting in trees. A blossom tree in Mount Pleasant is prematurely blossoming and there are signs of new green growth.

Tax office letters feature heavily in the mail, which is fairly light. Christmas surge over and strike backlog cleared. All feeling calmer in the office.
