We apologise for the delay

One of Covent Garden's main attractions, the London Transport Museum is closed for like 2 years. A bit like London Transport's buses and tube train really. But, the shop is still open.

Some stupid clown thought I wanted to take his picture. Message to street performers: "Feck off! You are not funny! Get a life and a proper job! Take that stupid outfit off and clean the gunk of your face."

Coffee

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


The contents are extremely hot.

Spring is just around the corner

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


Which is why I'm still wearing a winter coat, scarf and gloves. Nearly wore a woolly hat too.

Wings

Rain

Traffic and pedestrians dodge the evening rain.

Money

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


My brother works at a bank. Unfortunately he was not the subject of the Evenning Standard headline.

Street works

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


Preparations for some digging and laying of (fibre-optic) cables.

Macao - 2

My boss got lost.

Macao - 1

Those business trips to the Far East are real tough. You have to sample all the local culture, which is tedious.

Photo Friday - Baby

My work colleague's 6 week old nipper.

We have the power

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


The power's back on, but there's still a hole in the street awaiting the obligatory styrofoam cups.

Leffe

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


If it's Wednesday, then it must be a Leffe beer in the Brussels airport lounge.

Filming

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


Filming in Traflagar Square, which appeared to consist mainly of people standing around drinking coffee and talking into walki-talkies or mobile phones. Eventually there was some action, but it looked exceedingly dull.

Power failure

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


Our street suffered a power outage which hit half of the office. It struck the offices but left the stairwell intact. So, it was rather useless staying in the office after my laptop ran out of juice.

Drink up!

Dome sweet dome

Nuts

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


Hot roasted chestnuts.

Frozen pipes

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


This is liquid nitrogen or something like that for freezing pipes at the building site across the road from my office. "Why do you need to frreze pipes?" my work colleague asked.

I dunno.

Blue sky

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


A slab of the clear stuff over the Adelphi. It makes a welcome change from the grey skies of January.

Exchange Court

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


One of the quirky little alleyways close to work.

No flag burning here

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


The EU 12 stars limp against the pole.

Sundried tomatoes

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


Do you like sundried tomatoes on your pizza? We do.

Glug

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


Shopping for French wine on special at Waitrose.

Big Issue

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


A rather blurred picture, I'm afraid. This is one of half a dozen or so Big Issue sellers near my office. Not all of them are characters like this guy. He stands in the street, in this pose for five minutes or so. At least he's not the agressive type.

Pigeon hell

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


Ahhhhhhh!

Hell for humans, not for rats with wings.

Copier

Eerie light from the office helper.
