I love Prof S H's stone....no doubt what his line of work was!!Sjoe, as Carol would say, as the sun was in a better position this afternoon here are a couple of snaps of London
Firstly looking downriver from The Millennium Bridge towards Tower Bridge. The Shard is the tall building on the South Bank to the left. On the North Bank is the “Walkie Talkie” (properly called the Leadenhall Building) which is where JoesDad and I went to the viewing gallery in the rain last weekend

And this is the crowd on the Millennium Bridge heading toward St Paul’s Cathedral. London is heaving with tourists today!

We are now at The Barbican Centre - a brutalist concrete construction - where we are going to a concert of Holst’s Planets by the BBC Orchestra and hosted by astro-physicist Brian Cox (who is a tv celebrity in the UK)
Talking of astro-physicists, we did find Professor Stephen Hawking’s spot in Westminster Abbey(Photo from Google)

We also got a good view of the new stained glass window by David Hockney which was unveiled in the last few days
Hope you enjoyed the concert - the Planets Suite is one of my favourites!
Yes that's why I like my garden on the wild side - at least that's my excuse - nothing to do with me making life easy for myself!!Mini savannas or mini jungles are beautiful ! Much space for all animals and insects to live.
Hmmmm... think I will
had a nice day yesterday and planted lots of new tortoise food.. today, who knows!!! Have fun Mark and I’m sure we will all be looking forward to your pics.
Good morning Todd! Hope you have a good day at work !
Good morning! Lovely beach and vibrant outdoor enclosure!
Venus must have been in the car because she is the Bringer of PizzaGood evening all

As we arrived at the Barbican a car was delivering dozens of pizzas... it looked like one each for the Orchestra for dinner [emoji23]
Brian Cox, who’s a particle physicist rather than the astro physicist I said earlier, gave a really interesting piece on each of the planets before the orchestra played the appropriate movement (stop sniggering if you’re thinking of Uranus [emoji849]) While the music was being played, images of the planets were screened on the backdrop. It was brilliant. There were lots of children in the audience, probably lured by the professor rather than the music.
Ecologist Daughter has been out doing voluntary work with dormice again today. As you know they aren’t actually mice, but they are very cute. This nestbox contained three babies

I would only have sniggered if you'd mentioned a full moon, Uranus and movement in the same sentence!
Sounds like a brilliant concert - I would have enjoyed that.
Listening to that gave me a lovely peaceful start to Sunday!After entertainment for the eyes from Mark, from me a little enterteinment for the ears:
Lionel Ritchie, "Hello"
Beautiful rendition as always
Thank you Bee!
Good morning Heather, it's quite a chilly drizzly day here at the moment - hopefully it will brighten up later.
Hope you and your family have a lovely Sunday!
(think the enclosure is Carol's torts - but you're right.........it is colourful and pretty)
Oops! I knew that but I haven’t finished my coffee yet.. dangerous business there
but I hope you get to make the most of your dreary day..maybe tomato soup & grilled cheese? Blankets, books, & pj’s[emoji16]

You will be able to. It’s being screened on BBC2 sometime next year
No, I don't think that's the case. Like Lena said, he's just ready to move on.Oh dear - he really is upset with us!
I wish I knew what we'd done to offend him.
If it is me I'd like to know so that I can apologise - I would never deliberately upset anyone.
That is really disappointing to hear from Adam but I am sure you and Yvonne will do the same good job on TORTOISE and the Christmas Card exchange like him.
Good luck, Todd. 12 hours is not easy.
You don`t have to apologise Lyn. You`ve done nothing wrong. It is Adam who has his own problems I think. We haven`t offended him.Oh dear - he really is upset with us!

Hi, Roomies!
Although I’m not on the forum MUCH, I’m not TOTALLY gone.[emoji6]
Elsa and I are both excited about helping with the TORTOISE drawing!
AND we’re participating in the card exchange. [emoji2][emoji2][emoji2]

Adam is simply taking time off with wife and tortoise. All is well with them. Regarding the sketching of tortoises, here is a sketch I find to be wonderfully done …
the woman who drew this has the username of…all I’ve got is her email address and I hold those in close.I contacted her and she drew this of my tortoise “Little Ricky”. She used ink which is unforgiving if y’all make a mistake. View attachment 253024
