Volumes from Verulamium – 2.0

Well, two dudes, and me, who’s not really a cool dude: Two genuinely nice, friendly people.  And very happy to sign a couple of books and pose for a picture.  Walked back past the shop after they were supposed to be done – there was still a long queue and yet they were still smiling [...]

And to finish off my review of the year… July – 199/365 Skater August – 217/365 Abandoned September – 251/365 Ziggurat October – 303/365 Look of Love November – 312/365 Remembrance December – 352/365 Reflection

You may (if you have a long memory with a capacity for very small and unimportant details) recall that I was doing a Projec365 – one photo a day for a year.   I started off posting them on here, but soon stopped because it was one more step beyond posting to Flickr, and most of [...]

Friday afternoon was a belated birthday treat.  Mum and I went to see Cirque du Soleil’s current touring show, Varekai, in London.  One word review: Wow! More than one word review: What a show.  Completely unlike childhood trips to the circus, yet clearly the circus and not just dancing.  A magical story, humour, and infectious [...]

It’s been hot, hot, hot all week.  The gentle breezes of today are very welcome.  I’ve been trying to avoid the peak of the rush hour for the last week and, if I’ve not been able to, to get on a slow train which are normally a little cooler. So I’ve not been too much [...]

Random TV jottings, in no particular order: Why show The Wire with an episode every day? It’s far too hard to keep up with so many episodes at once.  Especially as the V+ box only takes 80 hours and we do want to record some other stuff too! Damages series 2.  I’ve stopped watching.  The [...]

The start of March.  Spring has sprung, so out and about a bit more – when work allowed. 67/365 It’s been a hard day’s night… 68/365 Murphy nose 69/365 Blossom 70/365 New specs 71/365 Rooftops 72/365 Red red nose After the fun and frivolity of Red Nose Day (limited, sadly, to sitting and watching on [...]

Brussels was too wet to venture out at lunchtime.  So that left England when I got home for today’s picture. St Pancras is a wonderful temple of engineering and architectural achievement.  And it does generally look pretty light inside the Barlow train shed.   But flicking over to manual meant I could snag this, which gave [...]
