On the way back from Heidi & Adrians in sunny Buckinghamshire we were traveling on the M25 between J16 & J15 when there was a loud bang followed by a shattering sound. After the initial shock it became clear that the sunroof has shattered, but how. The bang coincided with us going past a bridge so we can only think that something fell from it or was dropped/thrown on to the car roof. I got off the motorway to check the damage and the front glass had completely shattered 
A good around the car and no other damaged could be seen so we are foxed to the real cause of the break. I am glad of two things about this accident, the first was the fact that the internal cover was closed otherwise the three of us could have been showered in glass. The second thing was that it wasn’t raining.
The fun has now started to get it replaced, I am waiting for autoglass to call me tomorrow about getting the actual glass whilst we wait for Privilege to authorise the replacement. Fingers cross that it gets fixed quickly as the car isn’t going anywhere at the moment and thank goodness we have the car port to protect it.
I have just finished reading Garr Reynolds PresentationZen Design which was an excellent follow-up to PresentationZen.

The book is very easy to read and provides useful insight from Garr as well as other experts in this area. So what is the book all about? Firstly it provides a great grounding why design matters for you presentations and secondly it goes into how you can improve your presentation design following some simple rules or guidelines. The book really makes you think about your presentation and how can they be improved. I think this is particularly important given the amount of presentations I have written, used and attended where text takes over the screen with the focus on this rather than the presenters. The good thing is over the last 2-3 years I have seen a change happen in technical presentations where less content in terms of text, bullet points and information overload.
Hopefully the presentations I give today are an improvement and will continue that way

So todays photo had to be of the sky or a skyline given the fantastic colours we have seen at sunset this week. I managed to get out in time to capture some of these colours so picked this as my shot of the day.
And on the way I home I even got a shot of a big bold skyline
Today whilst walking through the leaves and undergrowth at Virginia Water I spotted the following:
Yes thats right the rotting head of a Pike, not sure what put it so far from the lake or whether it was a fisherman or an animal, but very unusual site. The second shot below shows the teeth..
