Random Stuff

Random Stuff:

We got tickets for the on/off bus. A great deal and we were able to see a lot of sights.

 

 

In no particular order we:

Toured the Houses of Parliament

Saw Westminster Abb

 

Drove by St. Pauls Cathedral

 






Above the Tower Bridge from the water

 






 Above a young lady with a flair for color at a luncheon stop!




 






Above the water bottle at lunch, of special significance due to the Pimm's Brothers at Point Grey Golf Club. Doctors Davey,Connell, and Sully-Daniels renowned for this little known and fairly toxic drink, generally imbibed Wednesday's on the course usually with miraculous results for their score and varied reviews of their behaviour. Just last month they removed a KP pin that was 6" from the hole and did not replace it. The true winner was never compensated as a subsequent player unwittingly added their name after hitting it to 4 feet. Appeal was denied.

I have a macro on my voice recognition software at work, it is called "Pimm's Instructions", it reads: "The patient was instructed to provide Dr...... with a bottle of Pimm's at Christmas. Last Christmas, Lorraine, Davey's lovely and long suffering wife discovered a cache of Pimm's in the basement. Davey's explanation, :"Don't blame me it is all Tildesley's fault!"


Most interestingly we took a boat tour to Greenwich ( of mean time fame). Also the site of a Naval Academy and the reconstruction of the Cutty Shark. Very quaint , very organized and a nice stop

We took the bus to Kennsington Gardens, so civilized. We met a man, I said “hello”, no response. He was walking a beautiful male Golden Retriever.  Could not compute as to how a man walking such a fine animal was so unfriendly.

A rain shower came upon us  and I overheard him talking in a Parisienne accent on his cell, the reason for his attitude was now crystal clear.
