shinytoasterOutside the flat on a cold November morning, looking west towards the park and Dollis Hill. The big tower in the distance is a pumping station, and it's actually rather beautiful.
I think my photos might become more and more abstract this month, since I don't exactly have the money to go gallivanting around interesting places taking photos of things. I planned to whip it out and start shooting on the train ... the camera, I mean ... but the Jubilee Line was screwed beyond all recognition when I got there, so my train was packed, and then so was the Metropolitan Line train that I had to change to, and there's something faintly embarrassing about whipping it out in a crowded carriage. Maybe tomorrow I will get some room to myself.
It already occurs to me that if I used the camera on my mobile phone nobody would pay me a second glance.
Now I'm off to watch Jason Isaacs playing the British ambassador to the US in a new political drama that the critics are already comparing to The West Wing. From this I infer that it will be nothing like the West Wing, since all British critics have The West Wing on the brain, and see the entire lavish spectrum of television only in terms of The West Wing whether the show in question is Spooks, Torchwood, Inspector Morse ... Pride and Prejudice. Wasn't that episode where Mr Darcy brokered a peace deal in the Middle East just super? No wonder President Bartlett chose him as his running mate...
