I found this little upper-class sort of doodle recently, dated '95.
It is superior (!) because it's on thick mounting board, on the bit you have left when making an oval mount, and I appear to have coloured it carefully!!

Table tennis - itâs no longer the domain of, I dunnoâ¦youth centres in Church halls, Forrest Gump and somewhat obsessive Chinese kids. No, ping pong bars are now quite certainly becoming 'a thing', and when it comes to London, the guys behind Bounce are leading the charge.
Bounce Shoreditch is the second Bounce addition/edition - opening in 2015, 3 years after its predecessor; (which is based in Farringdon). Bounce Shoreditch can be found hidden away somewhere underground in Old Street. Enter through a somewhat deceptively tiny entrance, and head downstairs to ambiance established by a Streets Of Rage type UV graffiti backdrop. You are soon immersed in the kind of manic energy that can *only* be provided by thumping, pumping music (thereâs a DJ booth round here somewhere...) plus 17 groups of people playing simultaneous table tennis (show up on a busy Friday if youâre truly ready to see this for yourself...)
You donât have to eat dinner, but if you want to - the option is there. Yes, much energy has been directed into creating a cyberpunk space for ping pong BUT the food and drink is, thankfully, not an afterthought either. Bounce seem to have played it safe - taking a (mostly) Italian approach to the food; there's an open plan restaurant with table service (as oppose to 'table tennis serviceâ ...heh) an impressive thin crust pizza menu, some pretty delicious starters, and a bar that seems to be quite keen on cocktails, craft beer and craft gin (yes indeed they have a *very* respectable gin selection). I am told the bar was inspired by the Victorian gin palaces.
As for Bounce itself? Well, the chain was established by Adam Breeden; something of a serial entrepreneur when it comes to restaurants (heâs the man behind the ever so popular All Star Lanes franchise). Iâve not visited the other Bounce but I am told what they have in common (amongst other things...) is *exactly* 17 ping pong tables. There are two things about Adamâs idea for ping pong that seem to work particularly well. 1.It breaks the ice in a way that âjust' going out for drinks cannot really compare with (hint: dates). 2. Itâs still fun if you suck/gets better with alcohol (kinda hard to get injured)

From the Butterfly House in the Natural History Musuem, London, United Kingdom.
One of my favourite flowers although I have n o idea what it is called. Gives me a impression of layered fortifications only that this is now done using flowrets.
This is a vintage wine bottle that I found at Finders Keepers for a steal, I knew I could find a place for it.
Last weekend I tried out a new telephoto lens on my Canon G12. While I am happy with distinctive perspective, lugging the lens around seems like more trouble than it is worth.
