It was a bit misty and, through the glass, my pictures aren't great

Tower Bridge with the Tower of London just in front

St Paul's Cathedral just to the left of the red light atop a crane

My approach to the Gherkin

The Lloyd's of London building designed by Richard Rogers is very close. I worked for Lloyd's for 10 years from about 1987, but at their building in Chatham in Kent. I did get to come to this one sometimes though :)

The City of London isn't all skyscrapers; there are traditional Georgian (1700s) buildings and older survivors like churches there too. These are right next to the Gherkin

And I am home in time to see the end of the rugby. Wales are winning 15-9. It's close!

Tomorrow I am going to watch a football (soccer) match. Arsenal v Lincoln in the FA Cup quarter final. Arsenal should win easily as Lincoln are way below them, but anything is possible in a cup match.

And Wales have a try! 20-9

And they converted 22-9 ... a great win! :)

Oh I so want Lincoln to win! What a turn up that would be! Sounds like you had a good evening?

Very nice evening thank you. The restaurant isn't as stupidly expensive as you'd expect in the City. It's not exactly cheap due to its location, but at least you don't need a second mortgage.

Good evening Laura, are we both the only ones that are "on" in here ?:)
Your Clyde needs time to heal himself. If he is eating and roaming around I would wait and keep on with soaks, warmth and humidity.
Are his eyes are still clear and his nose without bubbles?

Wales v Ireland rugby tonight. Come on Wales! @Lyn W will have to support for me and Adam.
Yaaaayyy - we won!!! I shouted at the tele enough for everyone! Great match! Pity they haven't been consistently on form this Six Nations, but they haven't disgraced themselves at all.
Come on Scotland tomorrow now - the whole of Wales is behind you!!!;)

Good morning all. I'm having a lazy start to Saturday. It's misty, but not cold today.

Son has a week off work and will be coming home later today. I probably won't see him until tomorrow as he will have gone to a 21st birthday party by the time we get back from the football. I need to pop out and get some more food in. At 6'6" he takes A LOT of feeding :D
