Annie’s Cafe

Posted on February 29, 2012 by Gary

Today we had lunch on the ferry. I met Mirinda at the flat and we went for a stroll along the Thames Path before heading for the wharf. I’ve really wanted to get a photo of a cormorant facing me, … Continue reading →

My mother, the psychic

Posted on February 28, 2012 by Gary

An example to all older ladies: I spotted a woman waiting for the same bus as me, intently reading a rather hefty tome entitled “Algebra: An Introduction“. I figure she’d have been about 70-80. Of course, it might be that … Continue reading →

Apocalypse now!

Posted on February 24, 2012 by Gary

I’m not adverse to change. Actually I’m quite keen on embracing it. Up to a point, anyway. But sometimes, it just sends chills through my body. At work today, Nick asked if I wanted a change from the Art Project. … Continue reading →

Giving things up

Posted on February 23, 2012 by Gary

A day that started out grey and miserable and ended up gloriously sunny and blue. VERY English. I think it even rained at about 10am. I say ‘think’ because I was in the hairdresser’s at the time and it all … Continue reading →
