these little chaps were hiding around the church yard yesterday morning.  i suspect it was for one of the sunday clubs.

i sometimes get asked if i ever get in trouble whilst taking photos.  well, mostly i avoid confrontation as much as possible, although i did get chased off by the security guards outside the gherkin recently.

this photo had potential to be a bit more exciting.  the guy on the floor is a drunk homeless type (street embassador as i like to call them).  to his right, just out of frame were too conscious drunks, and it was them i was worried about.

assuming they hadn’t been there, i would have laid on the ground and zoomed in on the union jack of his trousers with big ben in the distance.  but i thought his friends might jump on me so i got this shot instead.

sorry about that.

avoid the unfriendly yard staff.  they’ll not provide you with information nor help

we went to TGI Friday’s yesterday to celebrate the end of jane’s marking, the completion of my first assignment, kezia’s tooth falling out, and esther just being esther.

jane and i shared a chocolate brownie pudding, marking the first time in over 6 month’s i’ve eaten chocolate.  to be honest it mostly tasted of ice-cream, and my ‘problem’ is with cold chocolate bars rather than warm cakey chocolate so i’m not overly concerned about slipping back in to old habits.

it was quite interesting though and i actually felt quite nervous before eating it !  you’ll notice the third spoon which was esther’s contribution
