oakley court and bray studios
jane and i went for a walk down the (side of the) thames yesterday near Eton/Windsor-ish. From the north side of the river you pass Oakley Court Hotel and Bray Studios.
Oakley Court Castle is famous for being in various films including Saint Trinians
next to the Castle are Bray Studios
tim’s party
we were invited to Tim’s 40th birthday party last night and had a great time.
here is the glitter ball in the outside marquee
and here is the cake (it’s tim fishing)
busker
the south bank is the new covent garden for buskers. this chap was particular energetic and made me laugh.
a lovely night out
the girls are away for a few days so jane (my lovely wife) and i took full advantage of our free weekend by going to Sonning Mill which is a great place.
here’s the view from our table (the people who were sitting this had already gone through to the theatre)
pubbish
pubbish is a good word. it was written on a piece of paper outside a publisher’s office near where i work so perhaps it’s a contraction of ‘publishers rubbish’
but i think it better describes the feeling of wanting to nip to the pub. “i’m feeling a bit pubbish. fancy it?”
the james bond cupboard
remember this ? here’s some more detailed photos
three back legs
a strange dog, but also no eyes and ears (and what’s going on with the chap bottom right?)
bird flew
it’s a day for sequences today, so here’s a sequence of a pelican flying in st james’ park
they never seem to get very high
it seems to be about shaking your wings enough to fling yourself out of the water
before giving up and splatting back down in the water
