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…

I always think of Lord Lucan when I turn into Lucan Place - and that's not difficult as most of the time, some wag has added the graffito 'Lord' to the street sign. Today, when looking for disreputable persons, I was…

"Where are the prophets, where are the visionaries, where are the poets to breach the dawn of the sentimental mercenary." Fugazi - still one of the best songs ever. Day #207 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is…

Back to Blighty and a slightly longer journey, because of the closure of the Hammersmith flyover, meant that we had our ears bent on every subject under the sun. And another thing ... Day #206 of the second 365…

This should really be a pic of one of us, but as we can't decide who's Robinson Crusoe and who's Man Friday, I've compromised with a pic of the desert island itself … although we're not really marooned, which connotes lack…

Time to re-cycle the leftovers from our wine-tasting weekend - an omniferous range of grape variety and just to make the pic more omniferous, I've included a hint of the water bottles, orange juice cartons and other re-cyclables. Day #204…

What a fabulous word! But we were in Purbach, which is certainly a wine-growing region (although not many expats there) and Grüner Veltlinershire doesn't really sound right. Day #200 of the second 365 project, where the daily pic is informed…

The temperature has been creeping up all week and it nudged 40 today. In anticipation of a hot day, I put together a plan that would give us a good excuse to spend much of the day in the air-conditioning of the car.…

Re-reading Arthur Hailey's 'The Moneychangers', which contains much plutography. How prescient a novel was that! I would have liked to have re-read Bonfire of he Vanities, but it's not available on Kindle, which is as surprising as it is irritating. Day #196 of…
