This is, of course, not the real Windy Bay in Antarctica, and it would be an exaggeration to say that it felt like it, since our temperatures in June do not usually drop below freezing. It is, however, unseasonably cold…
I hope this isn't the latest version of the mobile library as a result of all the cutbacks! If it's someone having a clear-out, well done! It takes a jolly brave person to throw away that many books at the…
My facsimile paperback copy of Croker's book arrived today and I am none the wiser about where the boundaries of this project should lie. I started out working on the basis that it would be the entire borough, but there…
... or something more sinister? I find this rather disturbing. I snapped it because it looked like an interesting architectural detail, but on closer examination of the pic, it is so realistic, that I'm now wondering if it is a…
The Chelsea Collection is growing and I need to decide how to make it more focused, so I rejoined the local library and managed to lose a few hours browsing through old books on Chelsea - fascinating.
I've snapped the glass sculpture on many occasions, so the addition of a few empty chairs was most welcome. For those of you expecting "Schadenfreude" ... sorry, there just wasn't anything around;-)

As we all trooped out of the tube station, dressed for summer, into the pouring rain and cold rain at that. I am totally fed up with it feeling like winter when it is June in two days time.
'I'll tell you a story About Jack a Nory And now my story's begun I'll tell you another Of Jack and his brother And now my story is done' (Nursery Rhyme c. 1760)
It's easy to be critical of the weeds and dying plants in other people's window boxes as I flaneur through the streets of London, but whilst I was dossing around today, doing nothing except re-reading Salem's Lot, I noticed the…
I shall leave the description of this to the artist: 'With the installation Faggot on Vienna’s Morzinplatz, the artist Jakob Lena Knebl presents a temporary memorial to the homosexuals, lesbians, and transgender persons persecuted and murdered under the Nazi regime.…
At last, I've been able to borrow a loan model, so my camera can go back to Germany to have the rangefinder re-calibrated. Oh the joy of not having to shoot at f8 or at infinity. I was quite carried…
