A few random photos
That’s all I have for you today, a few random photos as my mind is a more or less a complete blank when it comes to thinking of what I can tell you. Unless you want to know that yesterday I took delivery of a new book, a sociological study of slumming, the 19th and early 20th-century practice of the better-off taking tours to the slum areas of London to see how the other half live. Out of interest, to make themselves feel better, to improve knowledge, to inspire charity or to engage in more nefarious activities, there were lots of reason people did it. I now have several research books on my to-be-read pile, though I have already started on this one because it’s background for a current writing project and there’s another book about the East End in 1888 on its way, and I also need to read that one before returning to my current first draft and creating the second. Here’s a random and unrelated photo…
Meanwhile, it’s five in the morning, and the Blue Star has just pulled in. It’s not the most popular time of day for folk to catch a boat on their way to the airport, but it’s the best we have if your flight is Wednesday daytime or early evening, as there are no boats to Rhodes until later in the day, and it is reliable too. And here are a couple more random photos as I really have run out of things to say today.
