Out and about and around London

I've been scolded for being a blogging slacker, so here are some pics from recent times.

If you come to our house, you can use the "London Loo" that has been in our front yard for....oooh....3 months now. When you walk up the steps, you can enjoy its sweet aroma and marvel at the large flies that are in residence.


The Millenium Dome in all its strange splendor, as viewed from Jim's office.


Jim works with these yobs. Kevin gives us free chocolate because his sister works for Mars Bars or something like that. Simon (on the left) gives Jim all my messages.


THere is a mall under Jim's office:


Corporate types stroll about in Canary Wharf:


We went swimming in Hampstead Heath's famous pond. It was very cold and we left covered in pond scum.


There were lots of people at the pond. One lady removed her underpants in a not so subtle way and many men appeared to be swimming in Fruit of the Loom Underwear.


Refreshed after the pond!


When I walk to work, I get to see a lot of this in Regent's Park (Blue Heron in the distance!)It's funny to watch the blue herons hanging around with the pigeons, waiting for bread.


We saw Richard and Colleena in Princes Risborough! Lizzie and Cordelia love ice cream:


Jim in dreamy pub light:


Jim's ear in dreamy pub light:


There are a few gas lamps left in London:


In our neighborhood they don't have "duck crossing" or "deer crossing" signs. They have "elderly people crossing" signs.(We especially like the graphic on this sign)


Blogger won't let me post anymore pictures at the moment, but tomorrow I will add:

Sunset and a bus.

AND

Jim medidates on Primrose Hill. This morning when I was running I saw:
1. a guy asleep (passed out) on Primrose Hill.
2. four youths still up from the night before and watching the sunrise on Primrose Hill.
3. a guy who was had just woken up and was checking his watch on Primose Hill. (I never realized that Primrose Hill was such a popular place to sleep!)

We also hung out with Howard, Holly and CLara yesterday, but being morons we forgot to take pictures of them. Clara has become an expert aerobie thrower and chaser and almost could climb over the fence in front of Kenwood House. When she realized she couldn't quite do it, she would cry, "Stuck! Stuck!" and Howard or Holly would rescue her.

Time for bed for me.
