Stuck For Ideas

Okay. Enough already with pictures of London.
I'm working from home today, so you get a couple of pictures of Norwich.

This is the mediæval Guildhall on the north side of the market, with City Hall clocktower behind it.
This was actually last saturday breakfast-time (today's sky is the colour of a student's underpants).


And this one's Norwich Castle, or Castle Blanchefleur as it was when the Normans built it.
The appalling glass lift on the left takes you down to the open air theatre in the moat.
The castle is a brilliant museum and has a big art gallery, "Tate In The East" growing out of its backside.
There's a nice park off to the right with a view down to the river and the Cathedral.
Oh, and that's my old Mum and our mate Richard doing catalogue poses.

I might do some more Norwich posts the next time I'm stuck for ideas. But then again I might not.
Don't wait up.

Nice pictures. And "hey" to your mother.

My site is misbehaving,and I'm very disturbed. I can post, but evidently no one can comment. Pooh.

"Hey" back from Mum, Robyn.
She thinks you're cool; I think you're cute.

And pooh indeed to Blogger. I can't even open your comments let alone post one myself.
Let's hope they sort it out soon.

This is actually a comment on Robyn's post today, but as Blogger are being ass-hats and not allowing anyone to post comments, I'll put it here instead.
So, young Scout:

Woohoo! Crane Wife by Decemberists. Prog-folk heaven. That's very trendy of you Robyn, and an excellent choice.

And your horny man sounds like he had quite a life!
I love the image of Punto/Stich blowing Beethoven off the stage. Hee hee.

As for your final question; I'm waiting around for the big D anyhoo, but I'd rush into it if I lost my old Les Paul; my constant companion since 1969.

I wish I knew more about guitars--anything at all, actually. No, YOU'RE cute.

I am SO cute it hurts, Robyn.
Hee hee …
But it doesn't hurt as bad as poor Rich.
Have you seen his post today?

Very good to see Norwich Dive. Every time i visit my parents i spend the time seeing them and don't seem to get the time to get out with them to see the surroundings! Mental note.
Hi Mum and Richard. Must have taken a few takes until the perfectionist Dive was happy? You stalwarts you. Hope you were both rewarded with delicious cups of coffee. If not, why not Dive? Hmm?
Does your mum read all the filth that comes up on your blog then Dive? I mean, clearly it's not from you nor from me, but occasionally you get a few smutty interlopers do you not? lol

I did see Rich's post. I left an unsympathetic comment.
