A little late, as I finished the photos late on the Sunday, and then had a busy week, with one of my overseas managers visiting, a workshop that had me in the office early and home late, and then today out in London with friends.
Anyhoo, here they are!
The sky off my balcony. Better get some of these photos in, as I'll be moving soon...
Tidying my room.
There are two BIG charity events in the UK each year. Comic Relief (or Red Nose Day) is in March, and Children in Need is in November. They're accompanied by a TV programme several hours long (the equivalent of the PBS telethons, from what I can tell), with celebrities doing silly things, people pledging money to the charities, doing sponsored things, cake sales, etc. A lady on my floor at work organised people to bring in cakes and cupcakes, and we sold them for Comic Relief - but we chose Monday, rather than the Friday (which is Comic Relief day). Mainly because lots of people work from home on a Friday, and we wanted to get lots of people to buy the cakes. This was my offering - a cake mix from a packet I admit, and I'd not got much to do icing with. We raised £310.11, which is a LOT considering slices of cake were £1 and cupcakes/buns were 50p! I reckon people would have bought say £4's worth and then just said keep the change for the charity.
A comic strip I kept from the LA Times when I visited my friend Cassy in CA, last October. I liked the Dudes!
I went flat hunting on Saturday, and near the one I ended up going for, is a High Street with lots of little shops and there were 3 charity shops. I got these 4 books.
Back home, and thinking I'd take the first flat I saw. I then looked on the Gumtree site I'd used to find the flat, to see if there was a "man with a van" advert, to help me move in a month's time. This is part of my Gmail inbox.

I love that cartoon! :lol: And the cookies look very yummy. :drool: The sky is lovely as always. :lovely: Too bad you'll be giving up that view. But the new flat will definitely be worth it! :nod:
Glad you were able to find a new flat--now you'll have new things to photograph :-)
So is that a close up of a cookie or a giant cookie-shaped cake? I really hope it's the latter!
I've been enjoying your balcony series. I'm looking forward to seeing your new view.
Yes, the balcony series is great. And I just saw a comment that it's the new site for the Olympics? I had no idea!
Love the "Dude" comment - I was surprised at how well the pictures/type conveyed the inflection. In my head I was saying "Dude" 9 different ways! haha
