Colmore BID Angels in Cathedral Square.

A dull wet day and the kittens are out to play.
Been busy at work during the week, so only the weekends can I see the cats and kittens playing around the gardens, on the fences and sheds.
Seen here two out of the four kittens.

The country awaits a Government announcement about what kind of festivities we can have:
- no mixing of households?
- just those in your bubble?
- two bubbles?
- a big family Christmas?
The one thing we do know is students will be home for Christmas.

Today's Lockdown 2 cartoon from Andrea and me.
Grandad’s feeling grumpy
He’s gone and lost his bet
With Grandma ‘bout the TV show
And now he’s gonna fret
He said he knew the actress
That she was in that show
Grandma said she wasn’t
She said she that should know
He looked it up on Google
He said they must be wrong
He knew that she was in it
Grandma said “so long…”
It turns out that, it was not
The actress that he thought
He’d gone and bet a shopping trip!
His boasting came to nought
But I’m the real winner
Through Grandma’s betting fame
‘Cos now my poor old Grandad’s
Bought me the latest game.
(Grandma said he had to. I wonder if he’ll get me a PS5 too?)
Today's Lockdown 2 Cartoon:
We’ve signed up for obedience class
My little friend and me
She doesn’t always do as told
And that’s the rub you see
When walking out and shouting “Fetch!”
She runs away for fun
And when the vicar comes for tea
She sits and licks her bum
We’ve been given this here dossier
With lots of things to do
Logistics too, the times and place
Now look, she’s got my shoe
I’m hoping that this class will work
She drives me round the bend
But even if it doesn’t then
She’ll still be my best friend.
Elaborate ceiling windows in Caxton House.
View from my office window in the afternoon after it got dark.
The staircase lights are on, but The Studio lights were off (closed during the 2nd lockdown).

'If you go down to the woods today ............'
Amazing what you come across on a local walk!
This chap was working out in his 'fresh air' gym.
Start of the 2nd Lockdown in England for 4 weeks. So went for an afternoon walk down to Yardley Wood and popped into the Trittiford Mill Pool, just before 3pm.
So was sunburst in the clouds on the Priory Road side of the mill pool.
The bank down to the River Cole was being cut down I noticed as I passed from Highfield Road towards Scribers Lane.
There are no organised displayed this year due to Covid restrictions.
Someone let off a load of big fireworks opposite my flat. This is hand held so not the sharpest shot, but I was pleased to get a few shots of fireworks this year.
Normally I'd be on the Quay photographing the main Poole display (see photo in comments from last year).

Scaffolding Selfridges after dark with Christmas lights.
The scaffolding has so far only gone up halfway on the Park Street side of the famous building.
Many of the discs have been removed, but now they will be able to do a proper job, take them all off, and repaint blue underneath.
Will eventually be a pink hoardings design on the outside while they replace the discs underneath.
Meanwhile the Christmas lights have gone up on Park Street and Moor Street.
Temporary bus stops for the 35 and 50 on Moor Street. I expect that side to be scaffolded as well.
About a week or more to go on this 2nd lockdown, and I popped into Grand Central Birmingham to got to Tesco Express.
The escalators and stairs near the Stephenson Street entrance was closed, so ended up going up an escalator from inside Birmingham New Street Station.
Saw this Christmas tree.

It is Wednesday 4 November 2020. The time 07:30. Tomorrow is the start of England's 'Lockdown 2'. Many businesses will be forced to close by law. Hairdressers are one of these businesses.
Unsurprisingly the normal early Wednesday barber (an Italian in his late 70's is not there).
A limited number of socially distanced seats is available. Others are taking their last opportunity too.
I think I've only had my hair cut 3 times this year (I can't remember much before March to be honest).
Yardley Wood Bus Garage.
A lockdown 2 walk up and down Yardley Wood Road towards Solihull Lodge and back.
Went past the "Home of the famous route 50" both ways.
They are also home of the Electric route 6 buses.
pair of off duty NXWM Electric buses.
E004 and E018. Usually on the 6 up and down the Stratford Road.
First time back in the City Centre in 2 weeks.
Got off the bus just short of Birmingham Coach Station in Digbeth.
Christmas lights at the Bullring from Digbeth.
Almost had a walk along the muddy towpath on the Stratford-on-Avon Canal from the High Street in Solihull Lodge (went along a bit of it).
But ended up walking back to Yardley Wood at road level instead.
The no 49 NXWM Platinum bus near the bridge over the Stratford-on-Avon Canal, heading towards Solihull Station.
It goes via Cotteridge.
