One Of The Crows,

was training me well,

if there were no nuts on the window sill, he would tap the glass, when he saw me get up from typing the blog, he was off on his wings to the hedge or tree, I then put some nuts out, close the window and back he would fly, yes he has got me well trained! Diana had already left for work, meanwhile I was waiting in for a package to be collected, which in the early afternoon it was, so I was out, on two missions,

walking through the park,

I could not help but notice that this year there was a bumper crop of acorns,

my first mission into Bromley,

to Jessops to drop off the Panasonic Lumix GX8 camera that failed on Sunday, Joel, who I spoke to gave the camera his professional once over, making sure I had not pressed a button that might have stopped the auto-focus working, but it was not that simple, so details taken he will send the camera back for hopefully a repair, the estimated time for return about 4 weeks, so our next trip out will be with the Sony Alpha a7 II with its 28-70 zoom lens, but for today I am using our pocket Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ25, which will have its sensor cleaned when the GX8 is returned,

I walked past the Art Deco styled cinema to the produce shop where before I had bought some chestnuts, but alas none were in stock, so on to my next mission, back to Beckenham and on to the tram,

to Croydon and the twin chimneys,

which meant,

I was at IKEA,

yesterday on her day off, Diana had been looking at some of the photographs of our travels and decided that a few needed frames, to be hung in our bedroom,

I think they were expecting crowds, but luckily today no queuing,

so 4 frames picked up and I was out in no time,

back to Beckenham and through the park and home,

some of the trees with hardly any leaves left,

this is where the photographs we wanted framed were taken, the Lido de Paris, 

when we visited in March 2018,

these of course were professionally taken,

by the photographer in the venue,

and what a night we had! we treated ourselves to the V.I.P. meal and table, what a memorable event that really was, back down to earth, I watched some television after my evening meal,

at 10.45 Diana called so I was on my way to the 162 bus stop at Beckenham Junction station, home and feet up for the last part of New Tricks, then A Touch of Frost before we were off to bed.
