London Out-Takes, 2

Seven weeks in London generated its share of out-takes, a few of which are below and in the next post. 

The blacks cabs are already going EV; sorry, Elon

"In a house on this site" was an expression we saw too much, 

although, thankfully, the Britons do keep track and document

such things; I guess you can't argue with progress or the needs

of today's residents; although you can argue with Blitzes, V1s 

and V2s...

Tiny house on the Strand or Fleet Street; actually
a tiny pub: Ye Olde Cock Tavern and Gin Palace

Large old olive tree growing at the Brunswick Centre (residential,
shopping (Waitrose, Boots, Robert Dyas, numerous restos, cafes,
galleries, Tesco and Sainsbury expresses, etc.), near where we lived;
now is the time to invest in British viticulture

Well-attired British gentleman; the sweatpants
nearly match the tartan jacket

At a posh furniture/accessories store in Kensington...Longhorns
to decorate you coffee table; must cater to Texans

I am still trying to do the low carb thing, so here is my specimen
partial English breakfast (note the egg yolk omelet); petit-dejeuner
anglais partiel

It's pouring rain, we are sheltering under a huge plane tree in
Grosvenor Square, and this Brit is out playing with his dog; note
the dog is wearing a raincoat...

Typical British wine nomenclature...

"3...to...Crystal Palace" (you have to ride a lot of red double-
deckers to appreciate)

Queen's Gambit...love her 10th century expression

[click to enlarge] If Arcimboldo had been a landscape painter...

COVID lock-down recovery

James Smith Umbrellas and Sticks; near the British Museum;
an institution

The fascination with Egypt...must be an Imperial Thing

This poor building, near the BT tower, has been
attacked by a giant ten-legged mutant beetle from 
outer space; or possibly it could be the predecessor
to Bowellism

Camden...

Another reason to wear a mask

Still not over this

So California...

OJ on the rocks

Another well-attired British gentlemen...note matching hair and tie

Christian cannon ball; who would Jesus bombard?

Entrepreneurship is alive and well here

Free water-coloring class outside the National Gallery of Art; seriously
