Londinium

American gas guzzling car on Bishop's Road, Fulham... actually 

this tiny car is an electric vehicle. 

You may or may not have gathered that we are currently down in London. Because we drove down this time, I was able to bring the old laptop - the one with the broken "s" key. It makes typing anything problematic. I wish the broken key was an "x" or a "z". That would make written communication a lot easier.

Ian is away in The Colonies just now, visiting a little known fishing village called San Francisco. Then he will be in The City of York's little brother settlement - New York City for two nights before heading home to London and his lovely girlfriend Sarah and baby son Zachary.

Historical milestone by Fulham Road

Zach is over four months' old now. With his big brown eyes, he is absorbing so much every day and he thrashes about, reaching out for things and studying faces. He gobbles down baby rice and will soon get to taste some other soft or pureed baby foods.

Today, by bus, the four of us went on a little shopping expedition to Sloane Square where we visited the John Lewis department store. We had lunch in the sixth floor restaurant which has marvellous views over that part of affluent west London.

And now I am afraid that I am getting increasingly fed up with finding ways of addressing the "s" key issue.  Fish and chips for tea. We'll be driving home tomorrow.

Memorial obelisk by the A3 on Putney Heath. It is dedicated to the invention

of a fire safety construction method developed by one David Hartley in the

1770's just over a century after The Great Fire of London. His system 

proved to be unworkable, costly and over-hyped.

 Lord

Nourishing

The temple

That is mine

Is an exercise

I’m attending to

These days

Please pray my body holds. Fighting some issues I can’t really explain. Trying to stay grateful. Patient in affliction takes on new meaning each day. 

Love you all.
