There's not a lot to say about this although I expect I'll end up blarting some kind of trundle about nothing that intertwines with a conversation I'm having with somebody from 1987.
On reflection, what I've done here makes me look like a skull with some skin stretched over it, which of course it is, but you know what I mean.

Swedish born, but London based, interior designer Staffan Tollgard has a spacious showroom for products/brands he has sourced from all over the world. He is so passionate about what he does, and has visited all his suppliers in person, to understand their ethos, history and manufacturing processes, and to bring back the very best to London. Find furniture/furnishings/art from the US, Scandinavia (naturally!), Holland, Germany, Canada, and Israel, for example.
The space, in a brand new Chelsea development, with the river just a stone's throw away, has huge windows, and a double-height ceiling, from which hang spectacular lightfittings. There's a gallery of chairs, sofas, side tables, rugs and much more, with a fully-furnished "apartment" in a secret inner sanctum. This is a - as yet - lesser know design destination which is well worth a journey if you love interior design. Take the chance to explore the surroundings, with a mesmerising water feature that fills the air with its noise of a rushing torrent, and then a series of locks that lead directly into the river itself.

On our first lunchtime in Nottingham, we ended up in Bagel Nash.
It is on Wheeler Gate in Nottingham.
You can choose different bagels, with different fillings.
Drinks as well.
We headed upstairs to sit and eat.
light fitting with interesting looking light bulbs.
Once again, I spectacularly failed to take a photo at the tip. I think once you get in there you're just so focussed on getting out that anything else goes to the wall!
That switch I dug out yesterday didn't get fitted as the existing one wasn't faulty. Happy days.
Then we had our usual Wednesday night gathering with a very nice roaring fire. Rather than going for a shot of the fire, I've instead opted to look up. This is the shadow cast by the fire as all the lights were off. :)
I set the selftimer to 2 seconds, held the camera under a lightfitting made from hundreds of zipties and tossed the camera
towards the light.
In Siena at the end of Via Pantaneto near Via Roma with the cross roads of Via S. Girolamo and Via dell'Oliviera.

Light fitting - The Vale of the Ram District (Valdimontone)
Valdimontone is situated in the south-east of the city near Porta Romana. Traditionally, its residents were tailors.
Valdimontone's symbol is a crowned rampant ram, with a blue shield emblazoned with the letter "u" for Umberto. Its colours are red and yellow, with white trim.
It is allied with Onda (Wave) and opposed to Nicchio (Shell), its neighbour.
Valdimonte last won the Palio on 16 August 2012
The De La Warr Pavilion is a grade I listed building, located on the seafront at Bexhill on Sea, East Sussex, on the south coast of England. The Art Deco and International Style building was designed by the architects Erich Mendelsohn and Serge Chermayeff and constructed in 1935. Although sometimes claimed to be the first major Modernist public building in Britain, it was in fact preceded by some months by the Dutch-influenced Hornsey Town Hall.
This light fitting caught my eye a few weeks ago. I'm not sure how I thought the photo would look, but I don't think it was like this...
Oh well. I'm not UNhappy with it, and have not much else to choose from, so TA-DAAAHH! Here is offering 30 :)
(Oh. And I couldn't get it any straighter, and I agree it would look better lined up... :p)
Shire Hall Gallery, Stafford, unusual light fitting - in the entrance of the former Court building - taken from directly beneath the cascade of illuminated triangles.
I suppose I will eventually, but I don't like to dwell on it...
The De Le Warr Pavilion, crown of Bexhill on Sea - I'm astonished there isn't an orderly-queue-of/unseemly-scuffles-between people waiting to photograph this light fixture. Even though there weren't, I bet I'm not the first person to take this somehow...
The Cathedral of Cartagena in Colombia, officially the Metropolitan Cathedral Basilica of Saint Catherine of Alexandria (Spanish: Catedral BasÃlica Metropolitana de Santa Catalina de AlejandrÃa), is located in the historic centre of Cartagena. It is the episcopal see of the Archbishop of Cartagena de Indias, one of the oldest episcopal sees in the Americas. The cathedral is dedicated to Saint Catherine of Alexandria.
The cathedral was designed by master builder Simón González, modelled after basilicas in Andalusia and the Canary Islands. The present tower was designed by French architect Gastón Lelarge, the result of remodelling in the early twentieth century. Construction began in 1577, replacing a humble cathedral of straw and reeds. In 1586, while the church was still under construction, it was attacked by the English privateer Francis Drake, which caused severe damage and delayed its completion. The building was finished in 1612.
The cathedral has a fine doorway and a simply decorated interior. It contains an 18th-century gilded altar, a Carrara marble pulpit and elegant arcades sustaining the central nave
Ceiling, Plaza Ballroom, Regent Theatre - taken at Melbourne Open House. Ornate bronze chandeliers hang from the Aztec ceiling, which is colourfully embellished with heraldic emblems in hand-painted tempera.
I'm a weekly commuter - I spend my weekends at home and my weekdays in a tiny flat. The colour scheme is ghastly... The rent is cheap...
I'm afraid that I'm sick as a dog at the moment with some virus I picked up in the States. Drugged up to the eyeballs and feeling sorry for myself.
Normal service will be resumed as soon as possible...
This is in the conservatory out the back of our kitchen. In the winter we use it to keep the beer cold, but in the summer we open the door and it keeps the kitchen and living room warm!
One of the pavilions at the Venice Biennale, created by Greece, was a surreal experience. You went up these stairs and were guided along a platform above a floor of water. At the end there was this one shaft of light and it created a leading path which at first you didn't know where your were going to go.
The foyer of the Rex Theatre, Charlton, VIC, Australia.
Opened to the public on Saturday 15th October 1938 (Charlton Show Day). The opening program was "A Star Is Born" starring Janet Gaynor and Frederick March and "Paradise For Two" starring Jack Hulbert and Patricia Ellis.

After a break of around half an hour sitting on the steps of the Basilica of San Domenico, I was getting a bit bored, so I went off one more time to explore Siena, as well as to buy a Tuscany calendar on the way back!
I headed up Via del Paradiso which is in Dragon teritory!
Drago is situated to the north-west of the Piazza del Campo. Traditionally, its residents were bankers.
Drago's symbol is a flying golden dragon carrying a banner with the letter "u". Its colours are red and green, trimmed with yellow. Drago won the Palio on July 2, 2014, and again on July 2, 2018.

I felt inspired the other day to photograph some of my favourite objects, some new acquisitions and birthday presents, some are old faithfuls...
Its Autumn here and the colours are lovely brick-reds and steely grey-blues...
Again, a piece of broken china plate with mulberry red stripes, part of a ceramic ceiling light pulley, and a set of stamped silver spoons from Etsy seller 'JLynnCreations' which I asked to have custom-stamped with 'silence, patience, tendresse, douceur'...to remind me to be calm and relaxed sometimes!! And my lovely old find of a '30 kilometre speed limit' road sign propped underneath until I decide which old brick wall it will hang on.
An attempt at making boring office lighting a bit more intersting.
Trying my hardest to create using inspiration from NIN's 'Ghosts' album artwork (www.flickr.com/photos/nineinchnails/4493734001/in/photost...) which was photographed by Phillip Graybill and Rob Sheridan.
We were now heading along Via delle Terme in Siena through Goose (Oca) territory. Their flags were on buildings on both sides of the road. The guided walking tour of Siena, heading towards the Piazza del Campo.
Near Via dei Pittori.
Flag and goose sculpture - The Noble Goose District (Oca)
Oca is situated just to the west of the Piazza del Campo. Traditionally, its residents made dyes.
Oca's symbol is a crowned goose wearing around its neck a blue ribbon marked with the cross of Savoy. Its colours are green and white, with red trim.
Oca is one of only four nobile (noble) contrade; it earned its title for its people's bravery during many battles fought by the former Sienese Republic.
The most recent palio win for Oca was in the July 2, 2013 race, with jockey Giovanni Atzeni riding Guess.
