(I don't know who Jenny is, I just quite liked the balloons this woman was holding near the start of the London Marathon today.) As ever, Tim and I went to watch the marathon - we met while watching it 8 years ago, so it's a bit of a tradition for us now :) It was blimmin' freezing today though - good for the runners, but not so good for standing around and watching/cheering. A combination of constant clapping and the cold set my Raynaud's off, and I couldn't feel my fingers for the best part of a couple of hours - and when I looked at Tim at one point, he was looking a bit blue! We did go down to Greenwich for quite a while and cheered the runners on down there, but then we abandoned our plans to carry on to Canary Wharf (where we actually met) so that we could go home and warm up!
Had a nice relaxed afternoon - did a little bit of cleaning, but also a lot of PS4 playing (Tomb Raider) - and a fair bit of photo editing. Annoyingly, I had a couple of settings wrong on my camera (I accidentally switched off vibration reduction after I took this, and also had the wrong focus point selected), so most of my shots ended up a bit blurry and unfocused. A few decent ones though :)

Sedos presents the backstage comic farce Noises Off, by Michael Frayn, at the Bridewell Theatre 15-24 October 2015.
Winner of the Olivier and Evening Standard awards for Best Comedy, Noises Off is a rip-roaring farce that hurtles along at breakneck speed. It lifts the curtain on the backstage drama of a touring theatre company as they stumble their way through rehearsals to a shambolic first night and a final disastrous performance.
Can director Lloyd hold the show together? Will Selsdon stay sober long enough to make his entrance on time? Does Dotty know whether she is coming or going? The show must go on!

So here we Legolas forever posed and a not-digitally-shrunk Samwise Gamgee. Legolas has a fetching teased pouffant hairdo, and now brown eyes, not blue. The permanently outstretched arm perfect for friendly backscratching. Standard accessories include a massive medieval shield and huge sword (the length of a human-hobbit), a bow, arrows, and giant elfish knife.
Gives new meaning to the term off the charts. This is how much more carbon there will be in the atmosphere compared to before, if we continue business as usual. The blue line is the carbon in parts per million and the grey line is the average temperature of the earth. It is easy to see how they corelate.

Mounted officers seal off Market Street.
Greater Manchester Police faced one of the greatest challenges in its history yesterday when large-scale incidents of disorder took place in the region. Centered on Manchester city centre and Salford, the incidents caused major disruption and endangered the safety of officers and members of the public.
At a press conference last night, Assistant Chief Constable Garry Shewan said: "Over the past few hours, Greater Manchester Police has been faced with extraordinary levels of violence from groups of criminals intent on committing widespread disorder.
"Shops have been targeted, looted and set on fire and I, like everyone else, am absolutely appalled by the shameful actions of these criminals who have attacked our cities and have put Manchester and Salford in the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
"This is nothing more than senseless violence with no absolutely no regard for people, their property or livelihoods. These criminals have also attacked some of my officers and other emergency services who are simply trying to do their job to keep the public safe and restore order.
"These people have nothing to protest against – there is no sense of injustice or any spark that has led to this. It is, pure and simple, acts of criminal behaviour which are the worst I have seen on this scale.
"Despite the extremely challenging situation we are facing, my officers are continuing to respond to any outbreaks of disorder, doing their best to protect people and property and arrest those involved. We have already made a number of arrests and we will arrest more.
"We have said all day that we will respond to any incidents robustly and I want to stress that we will continue to arrest criminals who have brought such violence to our streets. We have captured offenders on CCTV and I want to send a clear message to these people that they will not get away with this – we are reviewing these images and we will be coming for you as early as tomorrow.
"During the day, we have received overwhelming messages of support from our community who share our dismay at the actions of these people. We have also received assistance from other Forces around the region and we would like to thank them for their support.
"I would like to thank all our communities for the support they have shown and would ask for that continued assistance from members of the public by staying out of Manchester city centre and Salford while we deal with the disorder and telling us who these people attack our cities are."

Central Arkansas BJD September Meetup
Day 1 [1-1-2016]
The start of a new year. Began the day at 12:00 with a sip of sparkling apple juice in a room with some of my favorite people. After the new year gathering broke off I rested a fair amount to clear skies and a fresh sense of adventure. I headed out with Scott and Sam to adventure around two places in which I had a desire to visit. An abandoned boat house in the Quincy shipyard and Fort Revere in Hull. Both journeys were quite a success with many photos that I am proud of. The rest of the day was fun hanging out with a few more friends, Eric and Paul, and then taking a night walk along the 3rd cliff sea wall where I snapped a couple long exposures.
Can't wait to see what the next day brings!

On the 31st March 2018 the 'Oldenburg' (1958, 294GRT) leaves Ilfracombe for Bideford. This was a positioning move having arrived from Lundy on the third sailing of the season.
The 'Oldenburg' is named after the former grand duchy of Oldenburg, Germany, and built in Bremen. She was delivered to Deutsche Bundesbahn Schiffsdienst Wangerooge for use on a ferry service between the mainland and the Frisian island of Wangerooge.
Between 1975 and 1985 she was used on various operations including duty free sailings from Germany.
In November 1985 she was sold to the Lundy Co. Ltd and has since provided a freight and passenger service to the island in the Bristol Channel.
Copthorne Hotel, Christchurch. Saturday September 28, 2013.
This shot was taken just after the collapse of the Copthorne Hotel. If I hadn't stopped for a coffee in New Regent Street I would have been walking by on my home. As I sat watching the guy work on the building before I had coffee, I thought it looked unsafe taking down the middle metal beams which he was doing. Just had a feeling something was not right..!!!!! When I was having coffee and talking to a lovely couple that live in Christchurch it happened. We herd this horrendous noise followed with the ground shaking like a 5.9 earthquake. They said what was that and I said the Copthorne Hotel.. I just knew. Then the sirens started and all I could think of was any one hurt or killed..It really unset me. After the dust settled we went to see what had happen and found out that no one was hurt or killed. So had to walk the long way home.. I do have shot of the afterwards as well which I well put up later!
The former Copthorne Hotel "pancaked" during demolition work in the Christchurch CBD today.
Reports on Twitter said demolition workers ran for their lives after the building collapsed in Victoria Square.
Witness Craig Crew said a nibbler was working about six floors up, eating at a vertical beam at the eastern side of the building when a front verandah fell down.
"Next thing the entire building pancacked on itself," Crew said.
The collapse happened about 1.25pm, with people in the area mistaking the impact of the fall for an earthquake.
Jill Ineson was on a bike ride around central Christchurch when she saw the building collapse.
"It happened so quickly. It fell down like a pack of cards," she said.
"The middle of the building just imploded like a pack of cards. It was exactly like the Twin Towers."
"There was a massive massive cloud of dust and you have a sick feeling in your gut and you hope that none of the guys were stuck in that. It was a bit like a massive earthquake. The ground shook. All these ghastly feelings rush into your head.
"After the dust settled, the contractors started to creep around looking pretty ashen-faced."
There were no injuries.
The Copthorne Hotel building was under demolition by Southern Demolition and Salvage. The building's owner had refused offers of help with the demolition from the Canterbury Earthquake Recovery Authority.
