The bright sun that enlivened the world has faded into gray, with added rain. Quite how we survive in these appaling conditions I fail to understand. People blessed with constant hot weather sometimes cry out for rain, pffft! There is no pleasing some people! This tree however appears pleased to have been here for some time, it reminds me of an Olive tree, surely it can't be, not here? Judging by the trunks girth it has put on the weight since it first appeared, but how long ago I wonder? Could it have grown from seeds left by the Roman chappies all those years ago? Well no, there is a line of them carefully planted. Are they really Olives or have I drunk too much coffee?
A combination of the lurgi and gray skies forced me to spend the day as a slob, much against my will! The sleeps I had were purely for medicinal reasons and nothing else. I fed my aches, looked for my brain and failed to find it, and read blogs that appeal. I think they will appeal to your twisted intellects also. Especially Robert's. This man attempts to write short stories of a mere hundred or so words, and his mind 'meanders' into strange places he says, I think he is right in saying this. It is worth browsing his blog for a moment. I am convinced most people would wish to know more. 'Mulled Vine.'
The sight of large fat men and women showing how many pizzas they have stuffed into themselves through the winter has annoyed many of us. I am quite happy to see thin female flesh in the park but recent days have found the cry "Cap'n Ahab! Thar she blows!" escape my lips just once too often. Even Edinburgh with the perpetual Haar over the Forth and the gray skies desperate to blight the city has seen blue skies and sunshine I have heard. This has brought out the chip supper and pizza lovers allowing the famous author Mike Smith to release his feelings on the subject. This will win him much support, world wide I suspect. Well not from fat folks. I declare my interest in this in that I always keep my shirt on! Read and enjoy 'Auld Reekie Rants.'
If however you wish to see the world in a new way you require a picture blog, of which there are billions! There is one that gives a fresh eye on London that is always worth a look. It's called 'Fresh Eye on London.' Take a gander wontcha!
If however you are merely a man of culture and sophistication then I have discovered a site you dare not miss! 'Railscot.' Men of culture and sophistication will love it!

Good recommendations. I specially like Fresh eye on London. I hope you are better soon. We had a bit of sun most of the day here in London. It was rather pleasant
Wonder if those trees could be poplars? can't see the leaves close enough up. I am not much good at telling trees apart anyway, no matter how often I consult tree books.
Jenny, I thought you would like 'Fresh eyes.' She visits some interesting places.
