Some days it is just more productive to work at home. The two and a half hours taken up in just commuting can be the difference between three or four essays getting marked...or papers written or reading done.
Outside the window where I do most of my work, there is a fig tree, a potted fig tree, but a fig tree nonetheless. And the fact that it is growing in my garden is, well, a miracle really.
The new leaves are brilliant and distracting. Shiny, new, red. And when they are against a (briefly) blue sky, well what is one to do on one's tea break but step outside (briefly) and snap them...and other things to be seen.
Like the noisy miners minding their new baby miners. Hmm. Feelings slightly mixed but they're not bothering us at the moment. Good luck to them.

Just for the effect. And just because it was there...

Sometimes, there are just no reasons really. I'm just minding my work.
