Wipe my eyes and stop me yawning.

It has been so dull for so long. I haven't averaged a roll of film a month this year so I went out this once again dull morning.
Loaded that roll of Delta 400 that expired a year ago set at 800 to be processed in Microphen.
After the first few shots the sun came out. It didn't take long to cloud over again though.
