mystery shadow
it’s another shadow game. what is it this time ?
security
slightly unrelated note: bit annoying about the return of the booming-backpackers yesterday (Warren Street is less than 5 minutes walk from my office). still, london’s london and we all just get on with life.
i know lots of you read from around the world. london itself hasn’t changed. so if you were thinking of visiting, do !
here’s a load of cameras
farringdon tube station
here is farringdon tube station which is a fancy shape and has nice old writing on it.
it’s good to know someone’s set up a shop selling quality drugs around it.
early morning bathers
i had a meeting down near Buckingham Palace at 10am yesterday so i caught my normal train which got in to Paddington at 7am (meaning i could do an hour’s work on the train and feel good about the day before it had even started)
i walked to St James’ park where i sat and did another two hours work, but on the way i saw people swimming in the Serpentine. It’s part of some swimming club apparently which is only open 6.30-9am
diana memorial garden
you might have heard about the diana memorial garden ? it’s been a bit of a classic – originally a nice idea but went all a bit wrong when people slipped in the water channel. oh well
it’s actually looking very nice now
and see how many categories i can put it in: no dogs, no cycles, people, royalty and slippery floor
cockatil spotted
spotting animals is so rare in London that it’s always worth telling others about it.
but what if you haven’t got a blog ? write it on a piece of paper and stick it in the street.
crazy red moon
i don’t usually post at this time of night, but i thought i’d share this photo of the moon i just took with my Sony compact camera out of the window. no editing, just a massive crop.
i’m quite pleased with it. now if only i had a telephoto lense for my Canon and knew how to drive it properly …
sleeping
click for a big to appreciate this one
update: hope all get home ok despite the latest inconveniences !
flies in the morning sun
click photo to inspect the insects
blues news
Robin, a colleague, sent me this advert for top magazine Navy News. He pointed out how excited everyone was to be reading it (but not excited enough to buy their own copies i note).
but i ask you, how much news about the colour blue can you fit in to one magazine. not many by the looks of it. it’s just one piece of paper folder in half.
moving country
Popular daytime TV program This Morning is filmed on the South Bank. I walked by as they were setting up for the weather forecast. it was obviously going to be quite elaborate involving an inflatable thing and a big map of britain
quite why you need an inflatable for the weather i don’t know
last week they had a tent up. what a shame i have to go to work rather than sit at home watching people on the telly. (of course i could have skipped my meeting and sat and watched it in real life, but i didn’t)
a nice slice of grass on Southwark Bridge
here’s a row of grass on a bridge outside Ofcom spotted by a work colleague
no one seemed that bothered though.
