tony blair’s new tenants
I saw Tony Blair’s new tenants locked outside their new house this morning. I’m not sure if it was the actual Michael Caton-Jones and Laura Viederman but the paparatzi were taking plenty of photos.
here is an article about the house and here is more on the new tenants.

Tone bought his house on Connaught Square for when he stops being the Prime Minister and i walk past it on the way to work each morning.
there were worries about security but if people can’t even get through the front door when they’ve got a key i don’t think the PM need worry !
key holders and paparatzi:

bollard parking meter protection
this is a bit of a teaser, but expect a complete picture story of the current parking meter replacement program happening on my route to work.
meanwhile, here are some bollards protecting the new parking meter, waiting patiently in its plastic wrapper.

i’ve been keeping a track of how far i’ve walked each week, and more recently, each day, for the last 60 weeks. And yesterday i passed the 4000km mark.
my knees hurt.

desktop picture of a glove
as part of my marathon training i’ve been really trying to take photos without stopping.
this is quite a challenge as it requires a quick reaction when i see an object worth photoing.
so, i was very pleased with this glove which came out sharp enough to make a nice desktop background.
