First day of Christmas/New Year holiday.
And, what with the cold, sore shoulder, allergies and the rest, I would rather just curl up in bed, at least for the first day off, seeing as I was away the first three days of the week. But no.
All the stuff we do, the places we visit, the plants and butterflies, churches and trains are pretty much always my idea.
Yeah, I know, hard to believe, huh?
Jools sometimes likes to do things, sometimes I don't want to tag along for, sometimes I do. But back in November, the original plan when we visited the Blake exhibition was to go to Greenwich for the Moon exhibition. Circumstances meant that we didn't leave the pub until it was nearly time to go home.
I know, how could that happen?
Well, with both of us off on Thursday, we booked tickets for Moon, and planned our trip up to that London.
I didn't much feel like it, but I knew there was always a photographic opportunity and double so as near to the exhibition there is The Queen's house and the very photogenic Tulip Stairs.
OK, I'm in.
Our initial plan was to catch an early train, but study of the ticket prices showed that if we waited until arriving in London after ten, halved the ticket price. It would have cost £144 for the two of us, a hundred of that on the outward trip alone.
So we have to wait, and fritter away the morning and daylight at home, having breakfast, coffee, more coffee and taking a shower.
So, at quarter past nine we load the car with ourselves, and for me a single camera(!), well, the compact doesn't really count as I always carry that, but one DSLR with the nifty fifty attached, drive down Station Road to the, er, station.
We get our tickets, and wait on the platform, while other passengers arrived, meaning there was a good 20 of us by the time the train arrived.
It was always going to be busy, but it seems that Thursday was also the first day of the school holidays, so the train would be packed. And it was, packed, by the time we left Folkestone, standing room only. We had seats, mind.
We get off at Stratford, then walk through the gaudy glitz that is Westfield, marvelling at the glittery crap that was in the windows: who buys this tat? Well, most of the people around us, already laden down with armfuls of shopping bags.
We travel light.
At Statford Regional, we stop for a mid-morning snack of lamb samaosas from the small kiosk, then take the warm delicacies to the DLR train waiting to take us to the ultra-modern dystopia that is Canary Wharf.
Running out of Stratford, we see the Crossrail tracks dive into the ground marking where the central section begins in the east of London. Pudding Mill Lane station has been moved to allow the tunnel to be built, so we can no longer use it to snap railtours heading to East Anglia.
More's the pity.
We have front seats of the driverless train, meaning we see the tracks stretching along to the old Bryant and May match factory, before the line turns south to Poplar and Canary Wharf.
We change trains for one going to Lewisham, again taking front seats so we could enjoy the view as the tracks weave their way through massive skyscrapers, before dropping to street level for the run to the river, along which, normal people live, rather than where the super-rich work.
Through my favourite named station, Mudchute, and itno the tunnel under the river to Greenwich.
Greenwich is another world. dominated by the old hospital, observatory and other magnificent buildings, it is a tourist trap, but spacious too, and not many people sunbathing in Greenwich Park on a mild but damp Thursday morning in December.
We walk along the main road, then along to the Maritime Museum, then down steps to the exhibition area. Jools has the tickets on her phone scanned, and we're in.
The exhibition was rather good, as it examined our relationship through art and science with the moon, not just about the moon landings. It was rather fascinating, as we knew it would be.
Lots to see and enjoy, works of art, scientific documents and tools. And videos to watch and learn yet more stuff.
And it was pretty quiet, with just a few other visitors who were quiet too, and took time in looking at each piece.
After an hour, we were done, and from the museum it is a short walk to the Queen's House.
It was built by Charles 1st, before he lost his head, and designed by Indigo Jones. I mean, the King didn't build it, he paid for it. Or the country paid for it. You know what I mean.
And part of the orginal building was the fabulous "Tulip Stairs", which might not actually tulips, but are stairs. When I say not tulips, I mean representation of tulips.
You know.
We walk past the ice skating rink, which is blaring out Christmas songs, nearly downed out by the screaming of children and teens as they fall over and over.
We walk by to the basement entrance to the house. We are greeted, told where to go, and there is no charge, just a voluntary contribution.
I rush on hoping to see the stairs, but the modern stairs we climb up open onto a large entrance hall with a stunning black and white tiled floor.
But through the arch to the right, I saw the risers of te Tulip Stairs. I walk towards the stairwell and find I am the only one there, so I can snap away to my hearts content.
Mwah ha ha.
I snap it from the bottom, middle, with both the DSLR and compact.
Then out onto the balcony to snap the floor of the reception room from abaove.
We explored the ajoining rooms, all lavishly decorated and filled with paintings, including the "Armada" portrait of Elizabeth I.
I snap that too.
By now it was raining outside, so we beat retrat to a pie and mash shop we had spotted near to the station. We go in an I have beef pie and mash, Jools has chicken and mushroom pie and mash, bit covered in liquor, a sauce flavoured with parsley.
I have wanted to try proper pie and mash for ages, now I have, and well. Pie and mash was once a staple of tradition London food, with shops all over the East End, most have closed, but this one remains, and worth a visit.
Outside, it was raining harder than ever.
So we rush to the station and get a train to Bank Station in the City.
From there we catch another train to Embankment, as we were to check on whether my Granddad's medals have been mounted. We had dropped them off back in November, and heard nothing.
In among the theatres is the London Medal Centre, and after some searching, they bring out the frame, and it looks fabulous. I mean, really good.
The medals have been remounted with new ribbons, the medals polished and the photograph trimmed so it is now straight.
We were going to head to Regent Street to see the Christmas lights, but it would be even more corwded than here. So, I make an executive decision that we would head home.
Now.
Jools didn't argue.
Back to the underground, north one stop to Leicester Square and change onto the Piccadilly Line to Kings Cross.
There was time to get a snack from M&S before we go up to the platform to wait for the Dover train to pull i so we could nab a seat.

Queen's House is a former royal residence built between 1616 and 1635 in Greenwich, a few miles down-river from the then City of London and now a London Borough. Its architect was Inigo Jones, for whom it was a crucial early commission, for Anne of Denmark, the queen of King James I. Queen's House is one of the most important buildings in British architectural history, being the first consciously classical building to have been constructed in the country. It was Jones's first major commission after returning from his 1613–1615 grand tour[1] of Roman, Renaissance, and Palladian architecture in Italy.
Some earlier English buildings, such as Longleat and Burghley House, had made borrowings from the classical style, but these were restricted to small details not applied in a systematic way, or the building may be a mix of different styles.[2] Furthermore, the form of these buildings was not informed by an understanding of classical precedents. Queen's House would have appeared revolutionary to English eyes in its day. Jones is credited with the introduction of Palladianism with the construction of Queen's House, although it diverges from the mathematical constraints of Palladio, and it is likely that the immediate precedent for the H-shaped plan straddling a road is the Villa Medici at Poggio a Caiano by Giuliano da Sangallo.
Today the building is both a Grade I listed building and a scheduled ancient monument, a status that includes the 115-foot-wide (35 m), axial vista to the River Thames. The house now forms part of the National Maritime Museum and is used to display parts of their substantial collection of maritime paintings and portraits.
Spotted near Palo Alto, CA on US 280: the Google self-driving car. Could not determine whether there were any hands on the wheel or not.
Google had already been in the research of inventing the driverless cars.
Then it was Apple's turn. It had initiated with the Dodge caravan self-driving car in brooklyn New York. There are highways being tested that allow
these driver less cars on them. Well by 2030 there may be many just having a relaxing time on the driver seat in all moving cars on highways.

A driverless, rubber-tire Yurikamome car leaves the station. This line offered the best views of any I rode in Tokyo, and attracts some tourist traffic for that reason. (But wouldn't have attracted me, had I not been shepherded by my expert Tokyo Free Guide, Hiro. I hadn't done enough homework before I left.)
As Hiro explained, the Tokyo transit colossus is comprised of three systems: the Tokyo/Toei subway lines, shown at www.tokyometro.jp/en/subwaymap/pdf/routemap_en.pdf , the JR East Network, shown at www.jreast.co.jp/e/info/map_a4ol.pdf, and the independent lines like the Yurikamome, which are kinda/sorta shown at www.jreast.co.jp/e/routemaps/pdf/RouteMap_majorrailsub.pdf but are not adequately represented in any one place, so far as I know. Each independent operator is responsible for setting prices and running its own system.
Real estate adjacent to the station is a big part of the deal, as explained at www.theatlanticcities.com/commute/2012/05/secret-tokyos-r... and www.jtlu.org/index.php/jtlu/article/view/280
Navya, a company based in Lyon, France, is demonstrating its driverless, automated electric Arma minibus in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park during September.
Introduced in October 2015, there are already 45 of these vehicles in service in eight locations worldwide; they have eight fixed seats and three tip-ups with space for standing passengers, luggage or a wheelchair. Each battery charge lasts an average of nine hours and the vehicle has a top speed of 25 km/h.
The company describes the Arma as being for "first and last mile transportation", suggesting it could have a role in transporting people between their front door and bus/tram stops or rail stations. The London demonstration runs depart from the Timber Lodge Cafe inside the Park, and are open for the public to ride on; a representative is on board to oversee operation and to answer questions about the vehicle and the technology. It was successfully operating on Friday 8th September and I was fortunate to get a ride, although there did seem to be a lot of fiddling round with the electrics between runs.
If you want to see the Arma in action and (hopefully!) have a free ride, it is due to be demonstrated between 10.00 and 17.00 on the following dates in September:
Monday 11th - Friday 15th
Sunday 17th - Friday 22nd
Monday 25th
Wednesday 27th - Saturday 30th
And if you are really impressed, you can apparently order one of your own for a cool £260,000.

A marvel of modern architecture, Dubai Metro station at Business Bay on Sheikh Zayed Road. Built by the Japanese consortium consisting of Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Mitsubishi Corporation, Obayashi Corporation, Kajima Corporation and Turkish firm Yapı Merkezi. Dubai Metro is a driverless, fully automated rail network which cost an upwards of 7.6 billion USD to build.
Eugene & I took our first ride with Waymo driverless taxi. It was a smooth pleasant ride. We came upon construction on the road on the way to The Palm Court with one lane of the rode blocked by two large trucks. The car slowed & went into the opposing lane & passed both trucks without any problem! collaborative photo with Eugene Marangoni
I was lucky enough to attend the launch event for the Mercedes Benz F015, an autonomous car which I hope is not just a prototype. Certainly some features such as external LED indications to pedestrians and other traffic could be incorporated today. For a petrolhead, a special start to CES...
Technical summary
Overview
The Métro has 214 kilometres (133 mi) of track[3] and 303 stations,[1] 62 connecting between lines.[4] These figures do not include the RER network. The average distance between stations is 562 m (1,844 ft). Trains stop at all stations.[16] Lines do not share tracks, even at interchange (transfer) stations.
Trains average 20 km/h (12.4 mph) with a maximum of 70 km/h (43 mph) on all but the automated driverless trains of line 14, which average 40 km/h (25 mph) and reach 80 km/h (50 mph). An average interstation trip takes 58 seconds.[citation needed] Trains travel on the right. The track is standard gauge but the loading gauge is smaller than the mainline SNCF network. Power is from a lateral third rail, 750 V DC, except on the rubber-tyred lines where the current is from guide bars.
The loading gauge is small compared to those of newer metro systems (but comparable to that of early European metros), with capacities of between about 560 and 720 passengers per train on Lines 1–14. Many other metro systems (such as those of New York and London) adopted expanded tunnel dimensions for their newer lines (or used tunnels of multiple sizes almost from the outset, in the case of Boston), at the cost of operating incompatible fleets of rolling stock. Paris built all lines to the same dimensions as its original lines. Before the introduction of rubber-tire lines in the 1950s, this common shared size theoretically allowed any Metro rolling stock to operate on any line, but in practice each line was assigned a regular roster of trains.
A feature is the use of rubber-tired trains on five lines: this technique was developed by RATP and entered service in 1951.[17] The technology was exported to many networks around the world (including Montreal, Mexico City, and Santiago). Lines 1, 4, 6, 11 and 14 have special adaptations to accommodate rubber-tyred trains. Trains are composed of 3 to 6 cars depending on the line, the most common being 5 cars (line 14 may have 8 cars in the future), but all trains on the same line have the same number of cars.
The Metro is designed to provide local, point-to-point service in Paris proper and service into the city from some close suburbs. Stations within Paris are very close together to form a grid structure, ensuring that every point in the city is close to a metro station (less than 500 metres or 1,600 feet), but this makes the service slow 20 km/h (12 mph), except on Line 14 where the stations are farther apart and the trains travel faster. The low speed virtually precludes feasible service to farther suburbs, which are serviced by the RER.
The metro is mostly underground; surface sections include sections on viaduct in Paris (lines 1, 2, 5 and 6) and at the surface in the suburbs (lines 1, 5, 8 and 13). In most cases both tracks are laid in a single tunnel. Almost all lines follow roads, having been built by the cut-and-cover method near the surface (the earliest by hand). Line 1 follows the straight course of the Champs-Elysées and on other lines some stations (for example, Commerce) have platforms that do not align: the street above is too narrow to fit both platforms opposite each other. Many lines have very sharp curves. The specifications established in 1900 required a very low minimum curve radius by railway standards, but even this was often not fully respected, for example near Bastille and Notre Dame de Lorette. Parts of the network are built at depth, in particular a section of line 12 under Montmartre, the sections under the Seine, and all of line 14.
Lines 7 and 13 have two terminal branches.
Here's a closer look ! Apparently, the formwork on the left is one of the platforms,(actually I think it's going to be an island platform) the beginnings of the concourse is the horizontal beam in the centre.
DLR London City Airport station. A bit of a trek from central London but it's an interesting journey on the DLR driverless train with what I believe to be a photogenic destination as your reward. I was hoping to catch a moving train on both platforms but that will have to wait for the future.

A driverless subway train rolled off the production line in east China's Qingdao city, Shandong Province, on Friday, marking a new breakthrough in China’s metro technology.The train, which is likely to be put into service in Beijing after undergoing trials this year, is completely automated. It can be started, operated, parked and even washed using remote controls, reports the Xinhua News Agency.But are these new trains safe?When asked that question, Jiang Xin, a head technician at the state-owned high-speed train maker CRRC Qingdao Sifang, said, “it’s fully automated but can actually run more safely and effectively compared to trains controled by humans.”“These trains can not only help reduce operational failures caused by human error but also help avoid accidents caused by factors such as driver fatigue or sudden illness of staff,” he added.The new trains are also equipped with high-tech detection devices, which help identify obstacles along the route and ensure that the train stops in case of a derailment.If needed, the trains can also be shifted from automatic to manual mode.
