Globe trotting

The stage of the Globe Theatre with our guide soliloquising in the foreground. The theatre was constructed as close a replica of the original as possible given the lack of historical data. For instance we have no idea if the decoration of the stage is even close...

But that's not news...

Still here...

Not much too say.

This very cool Citroen H van was part of the international food fair on London's Southbank the night we skated at Somerset House.

But wait, there will be more.

Keeping it alive

Just a quick post to keep my blog alive.

Below is part of Tower Bridge bascule system; steam engines that raise weights that in turn pressurise the hydraulics to raise the two spans. Awesome logic - the spans are not raised often so this buffered system's delay is inconsequential and can use smaller engines...

Otherwise watch this space...
