    Dank.

    Drizzle. Wind driven Drizzle.

    Windy. Very.

    Hints of sunrise in the east peeking through the murk over Margam.

    Train on time at 1 minute late. Class 150.

    Skool in view from Alex Rd, as through the proverbial glass darkly.

    Hill steep.

    Pavement art augmented with sheets of ply, some unidentified large object & two kitchen appliances.

    Tuesday.

    Om. Om.

    Getting towards Friday.

    Om. Om. Om.

    Urgh.
    Not Dreary today? or is that reserved for Mondays?

        Strange but true tales - I caught an earlier train than usual on the high Speed into St Pancras.
        Next to the tracks on the approach to the platforms there are lots of shiny new flats being built, some of which are occupied.
        Being nosey I was clocking the décor of the flats as we passed, and in one was a naked woman getting dressed, and seemingly oblivious to the 7:36 rumbling past her window

        The 7:36 will now become my regular train

            Feckin iPod lost it's power meaning I had to endure the conductor (or "Onboard Manager" as they call them these days) making the usual banal announcements followed immediately by the pre recorded announcements saying exactly the same thing - seriously stfu

            Can now see the river as we go over the Medway bridge = dawn will be close behind

            No naked laydeeze on view this morning - think they have worked out how to use the blinds

            Not accosted by any Life of Brian inspired beggars while walking along St Pancras

            No big issue sellers

            Massed contingent of spinner bag wheelers cluttering up both St Pancras approaches and the Underground - including the classic two bag wheelers .. they have become the pedestrian equivalent of caravan towers.. and should be shot

            Feck it's Monday again

                  Have you sought approval from the lizardly one to sully his thread with piccys?

                  Actually not a bad idea.... now if I can just capture that lady in a state of undress in the flats

                    Odd it was labelled as a 150 'super luxury'. I'll have another go.

                      BMW Z4 receiving encouragement in the jammed starter division by chap & his partner, one to hit it with hammer, the other to turn the key.

                      I used to have a Series 3 Landrover that required much the same treatment. I kept a hammer and a length of broom handle in the cab for just that purpose. The broom handle because the starter was out of reach of the hammer otherwise.
