Shoot London Lite
We spent most of Sunday wandering around London taking photos for a treasure hunt I had signed us us for a few weeks back. I’ll elaborate more tomorrow, for now here are some of the photos we took and the clues that led us to take each image. Clue 1: He invented the electric motor […]
Elephant in the rain
Undeterred by a bad weather forecast we headed into London yesterday and spent a good six hours wandering streets trying to second-guess where the Elephant and Girl would be going and also where we could find a way through the crowds of people. I’ll have more photos up tonight, for now just the one of […]

Fours years later
Last night we did manage to see Robin Hobb and have her sign her latest book ‘Shaman’s Crossing’ (which for the record I am underwhelmed by). Robin was friendly enough though not as chatty as Terry Brooks earlier in the day. Robin Hobb at Forbidden Planet We were third in line so were out quite […]

More explosions have gone off today in London. It looks like these were lesser explosives. Anyway, we’re fine…just sitting at work reading about what is going on.
Remember but also look forward
Today as a showing of solidarity, remembrance and defiance people were urged to take part in two minutes of silence at 12pm. People were asked to go out to the streets for the moment. All the London buses stopped at 2pm as well. Here is a photo of London Wall taken at 12.01pm. Two minutes […]
What is going on?
Short answer is we don’t know. There are confirmed reports of explosions on three buses and a number of tube explosions as well. Talk is of bombs but there isn’t anything confirmed that we’ve seen. We’re safe at work and will be here for a while yet by the looks, it’s work as normal though […]
