Sunset at Barons Court

A good sunset in the cemetery yesterday. I had a walk with Luna, a small, bonkers black spaniel that struck up an instant emotional rapport with Bertie. I likewise warmed to Luna’s owner. 

Black Friday

I made a small purchase at a shop that does not observe Black Friday and has reassuringly high prices.

Schotterrasen

The munificent EU has bestowed another gift, the last probably, to Hammersmith of which we will treat later. Meanwhile what’s happening in the ‘hood?

Meet the Bins

I wonder how can I make my posts more interesting? Blog readers like something seasonal, so how about mistletoe at Cranford Park instead of mulled wine?

Demolition Diary

Spokes of scaffolding have sprouted on the south west corner of the West London Magistrates’ Court to prepare for demolition. I intend to keep a photographic record of progress, as I did when the LAMDA extension was built.

Any Other Business

Only an experienced investor who has been trading for fifty-one years could lose almost half their capital in ten days. That’s what I have done and my friends who mistakenly look upon me as a financial guru should take note.

Falcon

The falcon chick born aloft Charing Cross Hospital is showing no signs of leaving his parents. As a single male he may never leave and in a few years may mate with his mother. He’s called Jack but Oedipus might be more apt.

Messing About on the River

Taking a traghetto in Venice is practical and cheap; only 2 Euros a ride. Locals take them, standing insouciantly amidships reading the Corriere della Sera and juggling with a caffè corretto.

Rebel

In a week Bertie will have his eighteenth birthday, in months. It’s hard to choose presents for humans let alone a beagle but I hope he will be pleased with my gift.
