I got out early with a 4kg turkey (£10) and a 10kg pork loin (£20).
I'm standing in front of Smithfield Market proudly holding a 10kg pork loin.

Spotted this urban brickhenge last night. It's either a celebration of the winter solstice or a memorial to Rob Reiner.
2 upright bricks with a horizontal one lying on top, looking a bit like Stonehenge.

I took this photo of some flags in south London a couple of weeks ago and I much prefer it to the racist nonsense that was on our streets yesterday.
7 flags from 7 different countries wrapped around a tree trunk in West Norwood.

You can see the flags of England, Jamaica, Poland, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sweden, Turkey and one other that I can't be sure about.

After a bumper crop of frogspawn we have hundreds of these teeny tiny frogs hopping around the garden. They're so cute.
Tiny frog on the back of my hand - it's less than half the width of my little finger, and I have slender fingers.

Spotted these in the Yoshitomo Nara at the Hayward Gallery this morning. Seems appropriate for today.
2 artworks by Yoshitomo Nara hanging in the Hayward Gallery. In one, a girl wearing a dress saying 'Peace' stands on Hitler's severed head. In the other, a girl emerges from a bomb shelter.

Finally using this pack of buttons from the 1980s. I like the simplicity and sustainability of the packaging. The same things nowadays would probably be in a plastic baggy.
Set of buttons on a slip of cardboard, ready for sewing onto a garment.

Dinner tonight is roasted 90s fractals.
Close up of a romanesco - a vegetable like a cauliflower with fractal patterns on its spears.

I used to share a green tea habit with some colleagues at a previous job and 'Special Gunpoder' was our brew of choice.

If you see this post, repost with a bridge (or viaduct!) from your gallery. I can't remember where I saw this bridge, but check out that curving brickwork.
Underside of a Victorian brick bridge over a canal. The design of the brickwork creates a pleasing curve.

I'm about to go in. Have a good NYE everyone.
Selfie outside a closed door. There is a sign on the door saying 'Party Room'. The sign is very functional and does not suggest 'party'.

Loads of people in my timeline are talking about the Darcy Report, so I decided to read it too. Really enjoying it so far, thanks for the recommendation!

I'm about halfway through a 5-hour drive in a car with no air con and 2 bickering kids in the back. We did find this lovely stop off though. Much better than M11 services.

4-panel meme of Anakin Skywalker and Padme from Star Wars.

Panel 1 - Anakin says "Put this issue on the backlog"
Panel 2 - Padme says "So we can fix it later, right?"
Panel 3 - Anakin gives Padame an intense stare
Panel 4 - Padme, looking uncertain, says "So we can fix it later, right?"
