In the late 1800s London was served by up to 300 000 horses, producing an average of 2 000 000 kg of manure each day. This was referred to as the horse manure crisis. Consequently many houses had boot scrapers outside the front door. This one is a fine, elegant example.
The acoustic under the bridge was wonderful. A gentle reverb without being a full echo. Just saying some lines of poetry here was a joy in itself.
It's a game to help with making sentences. Probably popular at the Old Bailey when the jury retires.
Even more wires. I picked up these old Bose speakers (at least ten years old) and sub this week for a song. It means there are more cables to manage but I can cope with that while the sound is so much better.
Volume is controlled by software or by using what looks like a hockey puck (mid right) into which I can plug my headphones if necessary.
The post box appears to have been repainted. Again.
Meanwhile I should write to my MP about the state of the pavement. Health and safety law prevents me from putting myself at unnecessary risk and the pavement is clearly hazardous. So I shall write an email instead.
Fritillaria meleagris 'Alba'.
The gently nodding flowers of the white version of the snake's head fritillary. Delicate little things that prefer a bit of shade and damp soil. We have plenty of both here.
The sound of rattling milk bottles being delivered to the doorstep early each morning used to be part of the fabric of life in Britain. It's a service that has almost completely disappeared now. What fun it was to see this as I walked to my Monday gig.
Another example of a kissing gate, except this one has been decommissioned, after the fence had been moved to make way for the footpath.
Stepping out this morning to go to work, I almost stepped on my neighbor while he was eating breakfast. I avoided him, and for my pains I just got 'the look'!
I think this is Conocybe, growing from the compost in a plant pot. What was a bit of childhood fun when playing in the country (that is, eating these) is now governed by draconian laws with fines and imprisonment. Nanny statism or infringement of liberty depends on your political perspective, I guess.
Traffic ground to a halt after the stone facing collapsed onto the road. Nobody injured. It's interesting to see how the construction here worked.
A pink beach hut on a bright day.

Found this Bodum pour over today for less than the price of a coffee. Happy with that. Makes a decent smooth brew, too. The cafetiere will get a rest for a while.
Drink immediately if you have a cold kitchen like mine.The Habitat cup only comes out for this season.
The finished product, served with some lettuce, capsicum and preserved tomato.
My mother always insisted on some kind of vegetables with everything, and it's become a habit. Looks pretty, too, I think =]
I misplaced my spectacles. These arrived from an online store. A generic prescription. One lens is perfect for me. Better than nothing at all.
Anziano signore calmo e assorto nella lettura seduto su una seggiola di cortesia fuori dal supermercato. Elderly gentleman calm, collected and absorbed in reading sitting on a courtesy chair outside the supermarket. Candid. Street shot. Cameraphone. Bologna 2021
Faced with some tired and indifferent coffee, a twist of salt in the cafetiere revives and refreshes. Disappointment averted.
I learned this from an American submariner many years ago. People know all sorts of obscure things; the trick is to listen to them.
Charlie McNeilly has posted a similar bollard here:
And he has introduced me to an open source editor called Raw Therapee (works on Mac, Windows, Linux).
This is a bollard outside the town hall that I shot in RAW and developed with Raw Therapee. I'm pretty happy with the result.
