This mezzanine floor at Waterloo must be a fairly recent introduction. I dunno, what they'll do to squeeze a bit more rental income and retail floorspace out of our London termini. You know the sort of thing. All very "Euro", with tables outside, menus on blackboards, little trees in "planters", modish coffee shops, saxophone tootlings from concealed speakers. Not the place for a serious bit of spotting and I can't imagine a 70s-style gricer, with his Adidas bag, bobble hat, notebooks and variously coloured ballpoints being very welcome up here. A quick Flickr search came up with photographs from as late as 2009 in which the structure is absent. Distressingly, quite a lot of photos have already appeared showing the bird's eye view of the concourse, so I won't add to their number for now. I think that's a scrunch dry on the left. I expect the married men among my readers will admit to having picked up a rudimentary understanding of this macabre coiffuring lingo from their wives.
We inherited this compendium of note paper and envelopes from an elderly cousin. I thought it was very cute but I can't ever see me using it.
Western Wall (Kotel), Jewish Quarter, Old City, Jerusalem, Israel
"Part of the western retaining wall of the Temple Mount, the Western Wall was built by Herod the Great during his expansion of the Temple in 20 BCE. The wall became the Jews' chief place of pilgrimage during the Ottoman Period. In this period it become known as the 'Wailing Wall', where Jews lamented the destruction of the Temple by the Romans in AD 70. This is still the closest site to the Temple where Jews can pray (many rabbis say Jews are currently forbidden by Jewish law from ascending the Temple Mount, and in any case secular and Muslim authorities do not allow Jews to pray on the Temple Mount). The plaza in front of the Wall is divided by a fence, with a large area for men on the left and a smaller area for women on the right.... The wall acts as an outdoor synagogue with written prayers inserted into the crevices between the large stones." (source)

If you are going to dress up a Chevrolet Cavalier/ Holden Camira as a Cadillac Cimarron, at least make sure the paint matches up on the whole car!
Shamed I am but here to see is the mark I left when I dragged my finger over the 'E' on the head of my neglected bass; for shame!
We're Here, worse for wear.

Nurses' Notes
The yellow Roses are for you.
May I set them on a solitary vase?
Side by Side with you smile,
framed in May,
while I adjust your Morphin drip, to a suitable rate,
to ease the pain, to admire these Roses.
It must be from a friend,
or a lover who remembers you name,
your face,
perhaps feeling guilty in the Hamptons,
in Polo matches, in tea parties,
flirting with tanned shoulders,
red toes sandaled,botoxed-lips,
herbal sipping Vegan, munching hors d'oeuvre.
What else can I do for you Miss?
So young,
so sick,
so drugged,
to even care,
to open the card.

The Canon AE-1 can do shutter-priority auto exposure (hence the name). To activate it, you have to set your lens' aperture to "A".
I will try to remember that the next time I fiddle around with the aperture ring. Hopefully, that will be before I take a couple of pictures with the camera set to whatever was the last position of the ring before I forgot about it.
I'm curious how the handful of pictures I took that way will come out. Maybe I'm lucky, but I doubt it. A pity as the Kodak Portra 400 I loaded is way too expensive for fooling around.
Everything will work out in the end.
Try not to worry so much.
It's not as bad as it seems.
This is just one part of your life.
Keep on going.
Don't let anyone bring you down.
Do what makes you happy.
The sun follows the rain.
Every cloud has a silver lining.
It's not as hard as you think.
Just do it.
Let it go.
Worry less.
Smile more.
