I Had A Busy Day,

I left before Diana, 

into a warm sunny day,

looking back to Foxgrove Lodge as I walked out of the park,

first stop Beckenham Junction station, I was going to buy 2 tickets for Diana and Kai to visit a tulip farm near Kings Lynn, named Norfolk Tulips, but before I went into the station I noticed this, 

a vintage Routemaster bus, that I remember and used so often, but this one decked out in Crystal Palace colours, 

the team were playing away to Aston Villa, the good news? Palace won 3 - 0 Steve would have been so pleased, tickets purchased, next into Marks & Spencer to pick up my evening meal, I also stopped off at Domino's dry cleaners to pick up my trousers I had left there last week,

I walked past the florists, 

that had a nice display outside,

I particularly liked the calla lilies, (Zantedeschia), 

next stop Superdrug, although I do not have my denture back yet I thought as I was passing I would call in for a few more tubes of Polygrip, to keep my dentures in place, oh the pleasures of getting old just keep getting better and better!

I alighted off of the number 54 bus, by This 'N' That, 

the antique shop, 

opposite Kingfisheries, I had 2 things to pick up there, RO water for the Venus fly traps and some frozen bloodworm for the fish, I forgot the bloodworm!

arriving home I decided to play with a couple of images, this a infrared photograph of a temple I took when we lived in Thailand, 

I changed it into a black and white, which was fairly easy, 

not so the next one, this is a photograph I took on a walk with Diana, Steve and Kai when we went along the River Thames, near the O2, it is a piece of artwork by Richard Wilson, the piece is called A Slice Of Reality and was placed there in 2000, and was when in use a sand dredger, there is a post about it here, but for myself the picture was a bit one sided because it was so close to the riverbank, 

so I grabbed a slice of it, 

and added it to the original, Ta-Da! well I think it looks better, 

looking out of the window,

Reynard was taking 40 in the late afternoon sun,

it was then time for my read and sherry, 

followed by a prawn cocktail, 

and a butter chicken, both of which I had bought in Marks & Spencer's earlier, 'Cheers!', I will be so glad when I can smile again,

after my evening meal the Seventh Son, a great all action romp through the middle ages, with a good storyline as well as special effects, 

last in the quadrilogy of X-Men movies was up next, X-Men Origins: Wolverine, two mutant brothers, Logan and Victor, born 200 years ago, suffer childhood trauma and have only each other to depend on, basically, they're fighters and killers, living from war to war through U.S. history, in modern times, a U.S. colonel, Stryker, recruits them and other mutants as commandos, easier said than done, after which Diana returned home, so feet up for a Have I Got A Bit More News For You, after which we were off to bed.
