blue flower

it’s always nice to see some nature in the middle of london. here is a blue flower sticking through some railings.
this is a ‘Morning Glory’ according to my work colleague Harry. i hadn’t realised they were so temporal. if i had i would have spent longer than 5 seconds taking the photo.
here is a nice little page with a movie about them

biological hazard

the trains on my toilets (reverse that) are absolutely horrible. so it came as no surprise to see this tape stuck over the door. biological hazard – danger of infection.
i suspect this isn’t an official sign …

virgin mega-noise

i went in to the virgin megastore at lunch to buy a guitar stand, but it was full of urchins listening to thrash metal or something. here are the band as viewed from upstairs.
i wasn’t able to hold my camera very steady due to jiggling urchins. And the guitar section was closed so i couldn’t get the stand.
expect lots of nice shots like this after we go to the Carling Festival on Saturday.
