i never normally get an opportunity to stop and photograph this scene when i'm on my way out to essex, so i nipped back to tower bridge after i'd dropped her at waterloo in the early quiet of saturday morning.
i haven't done the scene justice this time as it needs a bit of sun, but you have to catch these sorts of skylines before someone builds in the space in front
of the seven deadly sins, the eighth and worst by far is emotional blackmail ... the diligent practise of this subtle and ancient art creates a constantly evolving darwinistic moral vacuum in which the brightest new manipulative ideas and stratagems flourish ... and which only you, or i, can fill !

may in kent
i drove along a bit of the Pilgrims Way & over the North Downs on the way to Canterbury, thinking of Chaucer and of of the lovely subtle & witty Powell & Pressburger film, A CANTERBURY TALE
everything looks green & lovely but it was so cold !
found a funny tree with a hole in the trunk, more like two trunks around a hole
and some lovely old plasterwork on a timbered building in newnham

cheese drivers riposte
the nice lady at the lazy lobster signed for their delivery today with the words, "is it all there ?"
"i used to be a choirboy" sez i, "you can trust me !"

am i grumpy with new labour ?
i just had a "personal" letter from the labour party signed by someone called tracey
a few weeks ago a bloke with a mid-european accent phoned from the labour party to check my voting intentions and i expressed the view that tony blair should have resigned a long time ago and that i was troubled about voting labour again
who the hell is tracey ?
i've sent an e-mail to the address on the letterhead which reads as follows ...
i've just had a letter, headed with your address and signed by tracey, no second name, referring in the vaguest possible terms to a conversation between us that never took place
i'm quite used to the new labour party insulting it's voters collectively, but this is the first time you've managed to do it on a one-to-one level
as far i'm concerned, tony blair bears too much PERSONAL responsibility for the destruction and waste of human life in Iraq & I still consider him & Alistair Campbell to be a real & genuine threat to World Peace ... and I therefore consider you, Tracey, by association, to be in collusion with them
best wishes, if and only when you ever grow up to discover the fragile and transient one-ness of life & the universe
tristan forward
