One Of The Foxes,

was here today as I was typing the blog, 

having a rest, 

before hearing me and looking up, 

"Peanuts please!" 

he was joined by three crows and a magpie, on the window sill Junior called by, here is a video of him,

beating off one of the other crows, I spent the day charging up batteries for the laptop, 3 cameras, flash gun, headphones and mobile telephone, as well as almost final packing, well Diana sorted that out, as always the bag which will fit on the 4x4 was a tad small, well as it happens my medium format camera gear was a bit big! also Diana went through lots of bits & pieces in the bedroom which we took upstairs in to the man attic, in case you have not seen my 'man attic' here it is,

I am kept company up here by the fox and owl on the far wall, 

I think it used to be where some of the staff that looked after the house lived, 

before I cleared it out it had a bath up here, after our evening meal there was not much on normal television, so a couple of films it was starting with,

Equilibrium, we had watched it some time ago, this is what I wrote then, 'borrowing very heavily from 1984, a little, like the dodging bullets and gunfight scenes from Matrix and add a touch of Blade Runner and you have Equilibrium, apart from a few special effects and a couple of twist in the story it was an average sci-fi movie', but still enjoyable to watch again, after which in a complete turn of venues and storyline, 

Beetlejuice was next, Adam and Barbara are a normal couple...who happen to be dead but wish to continue to 'live' in their old house, a new family move in, the couple have to haunt the house to get the new owners to move out, nice offbeat comedy, the name Beetlejuice has a passing resemblance to a star Betelgeuse which just might blow up, (in a few million years), after which Diana was off to bed, for myself a helping of Have I Got A Bit More News For You, before I too was off to bed.

First Thing,

the crows were here,

all tucking into the peanuts, 

it seems a tad strange, 

no foxes again today, I received a message from Decathlon to say my order was ready to be picked up, I had ordered a pair of water/windproof over trousers for my upcoming trip,

so off to the tram stop, naturally I had missed both trams as it started to rain, anyway on to,

 IKEA, that now has a decathlon store next to it, 

and there it is, trousers picked up and a few other bits & pieces purchased, 

as I was so far along the tramline I thought I would take a tram a few stops further on to Morden Park, and take a look at the aquatic outlet there, as it happens it was several stops further on, 

and a long walk from the station,

over the River Wandle, 

and past the weir,

into the garden center, 

through it and out to the outside plant display area, 

and into the aquatic centre, I had a look around, a good selection as it happens, a lot more than Polhill in fact,

then back over the Wandle,

and a walk to the tramline station, 

in 50 minutes I was alighting at Beckenham Junction, 

and walking home past the snail mail box, it was surprisingly late, so I was not in long before it was time for my evening meal, after which I watched a Outback Opal Hunters and a Deadliest Catch, which ended just as Diana called, she had gone straight from work to meet Kai, for a afternoon/early evening in London, and here is their time there, 

and here they are,

in Trafalgar Square, for a pose from Diana,

and Kai, 

a walk into one of their favorite stores,

so walk the walk,

and then downstairs to where the fun/buying begins!

after which Chinatown,

and a all you can eat Korean bar-b-q,

it really was all you can eat! £29.99 each, 

a stop at the bakery, 

for some little fish, 

although a tad early the girls were hoping that the Christmas lights would be on, 

but alas it was not to be,

a pose, 

before reaching Leicester Square, 

and tube to Victoria and home to Kai's for a coffee where I picked Diana up, arriving home we were just in time for a Midsomer Murder, by now Mr. Sleep was starting to catch up with Diana, I had dropped her off for a 04.00AM., early start this morning, so after that Diana was off to bed, for myself a Bangers & Cash before I too was off to bed.

No Foxes Again Today,

but the birds made up for it, 

crows and magpies, 

junior with the growth on his feet, 

no letting them hinder him, 

when it came to the pecking order, 

in the share out for nuts, 

for our Sunday lunch Diana had bought some lovely roses, 

on to my sherry and read, 

for our Sunday lunch we started with vegetable spring rolls, 

followed by pork belly, covered in gravy for Diana,

sans gravy for myself, 'Cheers!',

on to dessert, a banoffee pie with cream, 

eyes down and tuck in!, after which feet up for our Sunday afternoon entertainment, Diana said she fancied watching a black & white film, so, 

Them! it was, we had watched the film before but good to watch again, after which a romp in the jungle with,

The Legend of Tarzan, which we both enjoyed, after a small snack in the evening a double helping of Midsomer Murder, as Diana has a 04.00AM start tomorrow, we were then off to bed.
