Cornucopia

Of delights and similars...
One from a week ago.
I have been on a diet...so last Sunday I requested a plain yogurt rather the proffered dessert.  But I did request the decoration and voila....

  Standard

My version





















After the lunch I went to Olympia to an Art Fair.  My pal Jon and I were underwhelmed as it all seem so unoriginal and derivative. An exception is in this photo of Jon...the lovely women in a section of paintings were either clothed or not dependant on where you moved in relation to the art work.

 So let's see...while watching the Academy Awards my right ankle started aching.  By Monday night it was excruciatingly painful.  So much so I went to an out of hours GP to see if it was blood poisoning, as I had a few years ago.  It wasn't, I was given a prescription, filled at the 24 hour service at St Pancras and within a day I was fine.  It did give me an opportunity to understand the pain and necessity of using a walking stick as experienced by some of my Brothers.
This mishap prevented me from a few outings but on Thursday there was an invitation from Mother General and the Tyburn Nuns to a ceremony on the restoration of the Tyburn Megillah.

It was a cross denominational occasion and was rather jolly.
I am sure most of you know that what is today the Marble Arch roundabout was for centuries the site of public executions.  The triangular altar piece in the photo is a recreation of the shape of the "Tyburn Tree"....see....

Today I celebrated the lovely sun by meeting friends at Victoria Park for a pic-ca- nic!
Two more photos...our lovely magnolia tree is blooming.....

And our little magnolia bush...wonder if I will be around to see it all grown up?
