Burlington Bertie

The Royal Academy of Arts in Picadilly (Burlington House). I was at the other end of the street at a dull conference.

Woof!

Andy (the Andrex puppy) and Snowy chill on the bedroom shelf.

Embankment Gardens is hosting "corporate parties" - in other words as much booze as you can drink, if not more. So, these Portaloos will see much action - from both business ends - between now and 1 January.

Pizza dough

It'll take about 30 minutes to rise.

Belgian trains stink

Overflowing toilets.

Laundry

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Even blogging superstars have to do their laundry...So do I.

Mouse

Hunting cheese.

Brrrr!

West Norwood station on a crisp Monday morning.

Baby, it's cold outside

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


So, don the blanket for the strawberry plants and pump up the greenhouse heater.

Or..

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Gypsy Hill or Westow Hill or Central Hill. After Brunch or late lunch or earlier dinner or whatever that meal was.

Friday Photo: Imperfection

---+++Donut's Friday Daguerreotype+++---


As lovely as I am, there are imperfections on my forehead.

Portugal

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Conference time at Penha Longa near the village of Sintra. The village and surrounding region is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The resort is as bland as milk.

Here's a picture of the 14th century around which the resort is built.

Leicester Square

Think this might have had something to do with the World Premiere of "Harry Potter and the Huge Amount of Cash".

Kazakhstan

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


I believe this is the largest open air ice stadium in the world. But, I'm happy to be corrected. Whatever. It's in Kazakhstan. In the Altai foothills. And, I was there in September 2003.

National Gallery

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Frankly, Trafalgar Square has looked like a bulding site for the last year. Well, that's because it has been a building site. Scaffolding has been removed to reveal the cleaned facade of the National Gallery.

Autumn leaves

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


They are gradually turning yellow in the park. Global warming?

Shed Special - job done

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Hopefully now watertight.

Shed Special - "Houston, we have a problem"

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Water damage to the shed requiring some emergency drying from the greenhouse heater.

Friday Photo - Worn

---+++Donut's Friday Daguerreotype+++---


My garden shed's felt roof worn away by years of rain, cold and neglect.

Remembrance Day

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Projected on to the Shell Centre on the South Bank - poppies, the symbol of remembrance.

More offices

This is the rather fine Adelphi building, built in the 1930s. Actually blends in quite well with the Adam houses that surround it.

Adam Street

Okay, I may have posted a picture taken out of my office window before. But, I guess life - like onions - repeats sometimes.

Spent rocket

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Left over from the other night: crash landed in our garden.

Sorry about the fuzzy picture. That was my brain this morning.

Theatre tickets

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


Job done. Tickets purchased. New Year's Eve sorted out.

New desk lamp

Illuminating this nonsense.

On the A31 towards Guildford.

Celebrating (a day early) the failed Papist plot to blow up the Houses of Parliament.

Shed

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


A bit of wind damage: a job for the weekend.

The drugs don't work

---+++Donut's Daily Daguerreotype+++---


No side effects so far, except the man-breasts.

Washington Monument

Big sticky-pointy-uppy thing.
