the coolest dog in shoreditch

The title says he's the coolest dog in Shoreditch , but really, he's probably the coolest dog in the world. Anyone that has spent any time in that part of London would have spotted this canine suaveness chilling out in random places alongside his human companion.  To be honest, I was a little shocked to see him without the usual sunglasses;   yes, the dog wears sunglasses . I guess it wasn't that sunny on the day, and he was just popping round for a drink.

We are accelerating towards Christmas at an alarming rate.  So many things to do before it gets here. I was going to do a countdown project, but I've apparently run out of time.  Maybe I'll plan for Christmas 2015 instead :) In the mean time, these days when I look up into the sky I'm having problems ascertaining whether it's the sun or the moon I'm looking at.  Yesterday morning they were both up there at the same time. Kind of reminded me of the tricks the sun played on me on my commute when I worked on the bank of the river Thames.

At first, it looks like Christmas came early for these trees.  However looking at the other trees, you will notice their leaves are still rich green.  That's because it was summer still.  For whatever reason, someone set fire to these trees in the middle of this very natural park in East London. The reason notwithstanding, it would have made one heck of a great photo at the height of the fire. Luckily these trees are quite isolated.  There could have been a bit of a disaster if the fire had spread.

We're having a sunny Sunday so far, and it makes me think of the lazy summer days just gone past. As summer morphed into autumn, we squeezed out every drop of sunshine we could find chilling by the ponds, watching ducks, drinking fruit juices.

winter's coming

Any day now, this glorious burst of colour will turn white.  Let's just hope the crows at the wall keep the wildlings at bay.  For winter's coming!

Anyone that's been on the south bank of the Thames more than once would probably recognise these fellas.  They're one of the many acts on the bank that captivate onlookers almost every day.  Even though I've seen them a few times, they still seem to intrigue and entertain me.
