moments between posts - winter river, crepitus, bumflash

This also happened today:

09:08 Walking alongside the river, grey coat open, showing my red/orange top. A robin, startled, starts to berate me; too close to his hawthorn!
09:14 A small boat called disco volante; flutter of long-tailed tits; mumble of geese fluffed up for winter; muddy colours on moving water; gulls.
14:12 Oops- abrupt silver tide of pensioners just as we're discussing which is most blatant: whale tails, arse antlers or the bumster pantflash?
21:12 Combating crepitus of the knee with ibuprofen, elevation and stripy knee-warmers. May also apply kitten or microwavable triceratops later.
