Friday 1 January 2016 - New Year's Day

The New Year dawned with dense fog. In the morning it positively stank of gun powder, released from the fireworks last night. Later in the day, the pollution faded and the fog just smelled of - fog. Visibility was less than 150 yards, as I could not see to the bottom of the street, which is 150 yards long. Went to visit my uncle, who will be 89 later this month. The fog made a walk rather pointless - I like to look around and enjoy the views, but none of that today.
