Anyhoo … Who can resist Saint Paul's in the sun? I only wish the churchyard was still as it was in Dickens' day: a warren of small press printing sheds and booksellers, clustered around the walls. It was like that in Shakespeare's day, too, even though it was a different cathedral back then before the fire. Whither London's small presses? Alas, they are scattered to the suburbs. There's a lovely one on Rochester Row a few doors from my old office but they're miles apart now, which is a great shame for a lover of small press books like myself. Hey ho.
Enjoy Saint Paul's and have a spiffy Sunday.
If you want something to read and a giggle, try this.

That is rather a nice photo. looking forward to the rest of the London day out.
It's actually three photos joined together in Photoshop; you can't get far enough away from St.Pauls' to get the whole thing in the frame.
That's a beautiful picture, Dive. I wish I could knit like you, but it never occurs to me to even take a picture or 3 to knit.
When you can't fit the whole thing in the viewfinder, Speedway, knitting is the only option.
You Brits have so many pretty buildings. Not fair.
Hey! You've got Disneyland.
Er …
Very nice photo of a magnificent building. Looking forward to seeing more of your day trip and your stellar commentary :-)
I loved Katherine's story! Good giggle for a Sunday. Hope yours has been spiffy!
I hate colds. I'd go out to buy one about as much as I'd get drugs from a dealer. I hate the way either of them makes me feel. That said, I'm trying to fight off my seasonal change-of-season-turning-on central-heating-cold because it necessitates cold meds. Bleh. >:-b
I loved the image of Katherine's subject sneaking out to the corner to buy some sniffles, though.
Yeah, Disneyland, but your wacky buildings are real. I once climbed an interior stairway to the top of St. Paul's. The stairway was completely open and unprotected--I could have fallen several stories to my death at any time. Not that I would have. I remember thinking, "I could never have this much fun in litigious America."
I might buy a cold if I could save it for when I need an excuse.
Thank you, Ms.M. More from the day trip later.
Speedway: me, too.
Petrea, you are a brave woman. That staircase scares the willies out of me.
