Sony/Minolta pictures of the week | 27 November

<p>From the sublime to the ridiculous all in one day this week ...</p>

<p>There was a glorious sunset over the RSPB reserve at Otmoor, a few miles to the northeast of Oxford, yesterday:</p>

<p>Meanwhile a heavily graffiti'd container was deposited outside the Clarendon Building. Small viewing holes around the container allowed you to view Jimmy Caulty's ADP Riot Tour inside, but it was less than ideal, I'm afraid.</p>

<p>Way down south Argentina had a long weekend to celebrate "Dia de la Soberiana", which naturally meant there had to be some serious grilling and eating!</p>

<div></div>

<p>No marinades or other tricks required, the secrets lie in the quality of the cuts, the serious BBQ equipment and the hands of the grillmaster:</p>

<p>Meanwhile other members of the family get caught up in knotty situations:</p>

<p>Photo from today. I shall have to lecture this welder again on the need to protect eyes, hands and feet.</p><div></div>

<p>If it helps, pass on our concern too!</p>

<p>I'll tell him, Howard: although these chaps are obsessed with being "manly".</p>
