Sun in the trees again this morning.

The brow of West Hill with the rising sun shining through gaps in the trees.

Gull going for a morning walk across the flat roof.

This one. Seems to have been forgotten!

Looking down at the wooden floor of a 1938 stock tube train. in the "foreground" is the seat using the Strawb moquette pattern but in red and green rather than blues.

Bizarre flyer for a restaurant / pub put through my door. Clarkson trying to look personable. Odd choice of mascot. The main association between Clarkson and dinner is punching people. Plus they don't actually use his name ANYWHERE on the advert.

Flyer with Jeremy Clarkson smiling reasonably while sitting at a table with a pint and a huge pie dinner in front of him. Text reads:

It’s been really quite dark all day. But with none of the autumnal coolness that is the upside of this time of year.

Bottom half of the Shard viewed from the platform at London Bridge. Sky remarkably dark.

Yes it’s a positive (in theory) that the railways are being renationalised but that “Great” added to the name really pisses me off. Done purely as a conciliatory sop to far-right bigots.

The expression "Thought-terminating cliché" always makes me think of the command line prompt "Terminate batch job?" which made me think of this.

Command prompt reading:

> Terminate thought job (Y/N)? Y
> It is what it is

More things I saw yesterday.

Looking up at rusty barbed wire in the foreground behind which is a cliff against a deep blue sky.

A huge old be-barnacled anchor in the foreground against the backdrop of the tall black wooden fishing net huts against a deep blue sky.

Extremely rusty (basically it’s all rust) bulldozer abandoned on the shingle at Hastings beach.

Went down to the beach to play “Seal Or Submerged Rock?” (It’s always Submerged Rock.)

Rocky beach in Rock-a-Nore Hastings with submerged rocks emerging from the water as the waves go in and out.

If you can't be bothered to turn up for the starting grid, four, then this is what's going to happen.

RP with your home river.

Looking across the greeny-brown Thames as an Uber Boat goes past. Cannon Street railway bridge crosses the frame and behind the yellow brick station on the bank rise the oddly shaped (and named) skyscrapers of the City of London.

I was in a (print) advert for this early 70s comic as a result of which I got free copies of the first three issues. I recall it felt quite high quality and exciting compared to most comics, but at 7½p was too expensive for my parents to keep buying it.

Cover of children's comic "Seven" no 3 dated 6th March 1971, Every Monday 7 ½ p (1/6d)

Banner: "Free Inside Make-Yourself Model of Septimus Hedgehog"
Tag line: "Seven Days, Seven Stories, Seven Games"
Subheading: "Hours of reading, hours of play, a game and a story every day"

Illustration is of a red haired witch (with green clothes including trad witch hat) sitting on a stool by a fireplace with a cauldron hanging over the fire looking with consternation at seven oranges with legs and faces on the floor by her feet.

Autumn always seems to be when a lot of these attitudes come out of the woodwork, although the rest of the year isn't immune either.
