WHAT ARE YOU DOING TODAY (PICS)

raining in London, it often feels the appropriate weather for this city- I know it depresses a lot of people but it's beautiful in its own way
I was in London a couple of times over the last few days, and the weather wasn't great.
I cut through Knightsbridge, and passed the Ecuadorian embassy, where Julian Assange has been holed up for years. I didn't see the man himself, not his cat, but there was a media scrum outside. He was getting questioned by the Swedish police at the time.
Banners in support.
This statue on New Bond Street is called Allies, and celebrates the Roosevelt-Churchill relationship during the war.
Hermes have a spider in their Christmas window on Bond Street. Given that women tend to be a target demographic, and have a higher incidence of arachnophobia, this might turn out to be counterproductive.
The Rover found gainful employment after leaving The Village, and now moonlights as a window decoration in The Dover Street Market.

^scrolling down I thought it would be a giant middle finger. Would have preferred that. Great pictures, though!

The rhetorical question that remains unanswered!

Today I'm starting to cook for tomorrows food fest, for 15 relatives. I always love it about 12 hours of food prep for a meal that takes about 30 minutes to devour, if that. Depending on how much I drink, I'll post some photos under what are you cooking today. Happy Thanksgiving by the way.

Watching lights after an all nighter…

I was in Preston today, and took a look at some of the modern architecture there. If you fancy a bit of light brutalism, read on!
This is the Guild Hall. The pillars and front are being clad in timber to soften its look.
Preston Bus Station is considered to be an architecturally important building. It's also been under threat of demolition for the last few years.
The Holiday Inn.
Now for something a bit earlier, this is Lancastria House, a 1930s Art Deco building. It's also under threat of demolition, for no discernable reason. It also features in the upcoming film, "A Monster Calls".

On Monday I took a trip up to the Aero Leathers factory in Galashiels. This is the shop floor.
Chris, who runs Picking and Parry in Melbourne is after an Aeromarine in the natural Vicenza horsehide. I found him one, which was already starting to darken and evolve.
I liked this Board Racer, which was a size too small for me. It was made of a blue-black Horween hide, which was really nice.
David Vanian, lead singer of The Damned, is a long time Aero fan. He'd left his Barnstormer behind as a part exchange for a new jacket. I must have just missed him!
And here he is in his new Cropduster. The picture was stolen from Aero's Instagram feed.

Ran the half. Makes Thanksgiving feel less gluttonous. -

Fortunately or not I never took a single picture.
