3BT ... no ! 4 !!!























Four swallows shoulder to shoulder on a wire

A blackbird feeding her enormous squeaking fledgling

In the back of the bus, but not together, four smart young wimmin with freckles and ginger hair

Lastly, lots of cards and texts and e-mails for my birthday ... thanxxx you'all

The question of ... what was the question ?



















Yesterday afternoon, at the end of quite a long and unnecessarily physical shift, I parked the truck and took the day’s paperwork up to the office.  Then I hung the keys of the truck on a little hook in the keys’ cupboard.  

Finally, as if somnabulent, I neatly hung my own set of house keys on the adjacent hook, and went home without them.  Hmmm !   

Today, a customer named Paul recommended the services of an organization in Switzerland named Dignitas.  

I could see his point.

It’ll be OK, I told him, as long as they have nice curtains; you know the sort of thing …

We thought a little motto embroidered on some fancy scroll-work might look nice ...

"Diende tempore felicius"

Lower and Upper Grosvenor Gardens are two small triangular gardens laid out to complement Thomas Cundy's French Renaissance style houses. In the Lower Garden little remains of the elaborate railings of the 1864 layout and it was remodelled in 1952 as a memorial to Anglo-French understanding and a tribute to the Free French. It has an elaborate fleur-de-lys format of paths, and flowerbeds with bedding displays, the central bed in the form of a fleur-de-lys, topiary and a tiered device for the display of ivies. Two shell and pebbledash lodges studded with molluscs, with pediments on all sides, were brought over especially from France, and between them there was once a parterre. An equestrian statue of Marshall Foch of c.1930 stands at the entrance.
