My better half took this picture in town today, and told me the cyclists are raising money for going to India to do some charity work. That is all I know. Maybe somebody out there knows more.

Not so wonderful
Blackboards say “Beer Garden Open” but it is not open, except when there is Salter Steamer passing by to pick up passengers, or deposit them. Their first impression may not be so wonderful.
The garden is on an island with the River Thames flowing either side.
The gardens are growing weeds, and the furniture is looking sad, after the pub closed at the start of the year.
Skies of Blue…
I see skies of blue and clouds of white, a bright sunny day, boats moored for the night, and I think to myself what a wonderful world.
Barges going upstream
smaller boats come down.
People sat together
very near to town …
I see trees of green, red houses too …
Ock Street Fire Aftermath
I was asked, by an electrician, on the way to Trinity this morning whether the hole in the road could have anything to do with the almshouses having lost half their power.
There was an electrical fire down a manhold cover in Ock Street on Saturday evening. As far as I know electrical supplies had been reconnected by Sunday morning so the electrician probably just needed to reset something. As to the hole in the road, I haven’t seen anybody working on it during Sunday when it was causing holdups to traffic.
