It Was Diana's Day Off,

so the girls were out to London for the day,

 

starting out at Blackheath and then down to Greenwich, 

for the Uber taxi boat ride to London Bridge, meanwhile I had a few things to do at Kai's house, I beat the painters there as they did not start until 08.00 in the morning, when it warmed up as I waited for Robbie to service Kai's boiler, I popped outside in the sun, 

and was soon joined by Buddy, 

who made himself comfortable on my lap for a snooze, then Robbie arrived and it was time for Robbie to service the boiler which he did and replace a washer in a leaky tap, unfortunately he did not have one of the many different sized ones in his kit of spares, so he will return on Thursday to replace the washers in both taps and reposition a radiator that kai wants moved, just as he was going the Man with a Van arrived, after showing him what needed to be dumped he gave me a price to give to Kai and he was on his way, it was now late afternoon, so before I left for home,

it was time to feed Buddy, who ate al fresco, as there was still too much happening with the painters inside, on another note I mentioned I had joined a photographic club, the Beckenham Photographic Society, on my fourth week there another competition was held, for black & white prints, or 1 black and 1 other colour, so I entered a couple of my prints, 

Urquhart castle,

and this one of the lake at the front of the Palm House that I called Ice on the Water, and much to my surprise Urquhart Castle received a 'highly recommended', I should also mention that with all of this printing our 6 year old printer, finally had a terminal hissy fit, we are now the proud owners of a Eco tank Epson ET - 8550, which rather nicely prints up to the paper size A3 and A3+ and so far the results are excellent, in the evening the girls arrived home so a Midsomer Murder it was before the girls left for Kai's house, for myself a helping of a Have I Got A Bit More News For You, followed by a Ain't Half Hot Mum before I was off to bed.
