One of the things I love about wandering this wonderful city is that every #cat in #London is mine, if only briefly. #walktober #photography

I ❤️ photographing #sculptures – something static you can change the look of by light/angle/perspective/etc. Much like a play's script is static, but its story can be told so many ways Laurence Olivier statue by Angela Conner on the #ThamesPath by the #NationalTheatre – a fitting start to #Walktober

White paint has spilled across brick-paved pavement near a wheelybin, and flowed down the gullies between the bricks thus creating a very regular and straight spill line away from the original more messy spill.

I'd love to know why so many houses in a certain part of #Putney are surmounted by sphinxes. Which by Barnes have become lions. A makers mark for a certain builder/estate? (Also, 'sphinges' is an acceptable plural of #sphinx. If I have to know this, so do you.) #London #photography #silhouette

This is excellent. Depressing, but excellent. My response has been to give up, basically, and accept that writing is a thing I do on the side, while something else pays the bills. I also like that thing, so it's fine, but I get sad thinking what I could have achieved if writing was my full-time job.
