fleeting fame

back in September there was much fanfare when the london celebrity walk of fame was opened (see story here).
Here’s a picture i took back in October. I thought it was a bit of a death trap as those stars were really slippy in the rain and i nearly came a cropper. i never got round to posting this picture – sorry about that !

anyway, i took a short cut through there yesterday and all the stars are gone ! What’s happened to them ?

There’s The London Map

and the other one is Digitally Distributed Environments, a great 3D modelling and panarama site i’ve been visiting for ages. it’s also got some cool models of london bits for Google Earth

and the sun shone

after weeks of not seeing the sky, it was finally back this afternoon. london looks so good in the sun.

please don’t put pies in the chocolate fondue

i like (love) cold chocolate, but i’m simply uninterested in warm chocolate. so i wasn’t really that bothered by this fantastic giant pouring chocolate fondue thing.
there was an announcement that we weren’t to dip the meat pies in it. which seemed fair enough.

a good day for corporate freebies

here are some freebies i got yesterday from two different sources.
the mug on the right was ‘personalised’ which actually involved someone writting my name on it in a fat pen ! inside was this helpful note saying i needed to bake the mug if i wanted my name to remain on it. now where’s my kiln …
still, you shouldn’t look a gift house in the mouse.
