I spent a lot of time thinking about what issues might constitute an adiaphoron and certainly struggled with something that might be 'morally neutral', and then I spotted this book in the local pop-up shop and deemed it might be…

With deadlines approaching, there was no time to go further than the window on the staircase. I'm not sure which is more overcrowded at the moment, my life or South Ken tube station (summer holidays + museums = chaos), but it was…

A rainy day in Chelsea meant limited opportunities for roistering - and I didn't really have anything to celebrate and drinking champagne alone is rather sad. But the arrival of a package provided an entertaining diversion and, arguably, some roistering…

Abbey-lubbers are thin on the ground in August, what with it being tourist season an' all, so I thought I'd focus on the "indulgence" element of today's word. I deliberately ordered a big slab of carrot cake with lots of buttery topping…

If there are any pickled hands of executed criminals lying around London, there's a good chance that they would be found here. Day #224 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed by the OED…

It's a surety that we are photographed hundreds of times a day. This is the Chelsea equivalent of the sûreté - although it has now closed down and we have to leg it over to Notting Hill to report any…

Met a chum at the BL exhibition and we had a good old moan about God, the universe and the world. I think that makes us querulous ... Day #222 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is…

Oh what a grand panjandrum in the car-park - aka the traffic warden. Somewhat thuggish, sarcastic and scary. He was going to be my pic of the day, but after our slight contretemps over the inefficiencies of their ticket machine,…

Bonzo reassures me that she is definitely an overner; although she isn't exactly visiting from the mainland. In the absence of actually being on the Isle of Wight, I was never going to get a proper representation of today's word. I…

We were all whitting as the number 11 bus ground to a halt at Trafalgar Square. Jam packed full, going nowhere and feeling like a microwave dinner. Next time there's a tube strike, I'm staying at home:-( Day #218…

I don't think this counts as a true omniana, but it was providential. Great excitement in the BL camp with a five page spread in Time Out; and as I was walking along the road, I suddenly spotted it on the…

The workaround solution to the lack of rubbish bins in the borough - carefully place them on the nearest wall. If only all my computer problems could be overcome in the same way. Day #215 of the…

Not much of a photo day today, more of an admin day. I'm not personally acquainted with any narcokleptocracies (although MisterMac is a bit of an expert having read Don Winslow) but given local property prices, I reckon some of…

Oh dear, I didn't read this properly and just snapped away with gay abandon as I found various connections to whales; so my contribution for gam is a glass bowl, the pattern of which is supposed to be whales, as…

As soon as I saw today's word, I knew that the homeward-bound journey would have to be via Knightsbridge, for the Harrods Piazza is the best place in town to find a bit of refulgent bling. With the benefit of…
