An ordinary busy day

Busy! Positively busy!
... Only back from a late evening swim and having skipped, as usual, on the live band at The 2NX conveniently located on the way home, I am here to share a few things. First of all, a young cat went missing in Sheen:
I hope it will return to his most concerned owner!
...
Sunny morning and a likewise weather forecast on the BBC website misguided not but one of us today. As a result, lunch break had to be postponed. Luckily, the sudden rain left as soon as it came!

Bus 65 was turning into The High Street in Ealing Broadway when I took these two snaps:
Christ Church, Ealing Broadway

Greengrocer's stall in Ealing 
At Sheen/ Kings Rd Octavia shop it started with a pink panther:


Have you ever seen a telephone like this?

This painting is waiting for a wall:

The only pub between the two Octavia shops in Sheen:

These things happen... Well, you sometimes think that the picture illustrates one of the favourite tricks played by bus or train drivers...

This was a tempting purchase. I love Quentin Blake's illustrations and his sense of humour!
 A vinyl record cover:


Great idea to make sure you don't lose a skirt! Put your picture on it!

The cat of Octavia Sheen shop near Waitrose:

And the hit of the day: cat tights! I found out from the girl who posed for me that they can be ordered online, but it's a bit of a wait!

Remember the pomegranate tree in Richmond I've shown here once or twice? This or the neighbouring tree 'was climbed' by a plant producing these pretty flowers:

Church in Richmond, next to the police station, as seen from the bus home:
2NX is a cozy restaurant in Ealing on my everyday route. I've been there a few times. Every Wednesday night it hosts a live band. I stepped in, listened to one song and dashed home.
Now I'm off to the last stage of the evening!
Good night!

Lovely day (almost...)!

I'll be frank with you, am too sleepy to write much, but will add some snaps, as that's easy:













I know some of my dear friends are interested in philosophy. Would it be an event for you?



...
Community Arts Centre and cafe in Barnes, by the pond enjoys a great location. Besides, they make good coffee, that's what I had there. And that is rare: one of the barristas was playing  the piano when I came there!






A lovely Barnes a Radcliffe Camera-shaped teapot found a new owner today:
 It was during one of the tours I guided all the way from Poland when we could watch  Nelson Mandela's celebrated visit to Oxford against the backdrop of this landmark Oxford University building!
...
John Orton in Islington and for stage:




























It was a very good day with  unpleasant encounters which only made the whole rest of the day most delightful!
