some good news

I've discovered that the camera can indeed work, if plugged into the mains. Not very convenient, but at least enabled me to download yesterday's bounty.

I was heading toward Bloomsbury when I noticed this guy:

Cara gave me a heads up about another in Covent Garden. I wonder what happens if I collect the whole set?

The plan was to head toward a brilliant sign I'd sped by many times before. I usually do this from a different direction, so had to guess my way there. And that's how I found Bedford Square.

I'm know London is full of these squares, but stumbling upon unexpectedly is always such a thrill! As seems to be the custom, the U75 folk have been there before, and with better pix. Have a look at their panorama here.

This door is my idea of prefection (if I were to find myself owning a Georgian house, of course). I love the promise such a grand entrance brings.

More information on Bedford Square and it's garden/lack of access at city of sound.

The building I was heading toward is the London School of Hygiene and Tropical Medicine. I cycle past this sign on the route home from Selfridges.

I had never paused to look at anything more than the sign. I'm not sure if it was because I was too busy giggling at the thought of washing hands and mosquitos being taught within, or concentrating on balancing over-full Selfridges bags on my handlebars.

Yesterday I came at it from a different angle. And this is why I love my London Tuesdays - I would never have seen the detail:

There are bugs! Bugs on all the balconies!
