The local Lippos Circus security strutting around on Peckham Rye. Classic English good taste in Surrey Road Peckham.

Lippos gave-ith the sun ...........then Lippos taketh it away. Get a grip! Gonna shoot the crow security!

Well Zippos actually...but if they insist on not sorting out their logo on the truck only the crows will attend. It's been the dullest August since records began in 1912. So thank the Lord that Lippos here to brighten our days. Mcain has a running mate who sounds a bit Anita Bryant in character.......God Bless America. The Russians are spoiling for something! The Chancellor had no idea that the credit crunch woz such a big crunch.........what's he paid to do? Gordy Brown has long been telling us that the economy is fundamentally sound and well able to weather the storm................well not quite from wot Mr Darling has let slip........is it any wonder that we are all a bit "Pissed Off" with Labour, to quote Mr Darling. Mugabe paid the Zimbabwean Olympic swimmer a bonus in US Dollars. Wots wrong wid Zim Dollas Mr "President"? Well I guess you wouldn't know because you don't use them either!

Exploding bus................oooops................looked a bit like the Russel Square 7/7. Strange message that one. Little child rep walking on people to climb back into the bus........what was that all about............... .................????................I am a little bully who will walk over you to get somewhere.......... very strange message that one as well. What about the bike riders......symbols of.London.........surely not..............give us a break, Dutch or Chinese maybe........................... but London........don't think so! Ms Lewis and a "Whole Lotta Love".......................of all the back catalogues of forty years ago that was the best that we could find.............anyway..................why the hell trawl for stuff that old. Not good. Sounded terrible. Beck's.....why did you let them pursued you to do that little bit of kick ball into crowd nothing? All you had to do was lie around in your y-fronts on top of the bus and that would ha...

Walking across the Rye.......Peckham. Steel Band practice while parked up Saturday in Hyde Park. The Nottinghill Carnival Parade starts Sunday. Forecast for Sunday......................rain......... ......................................................and so it is. Serpentine. Serpentine looking like a painted film set. Frank Ghery at the Serpentine Gallery. Interior space of the Frank Gerhy pavilion. Sitting around. ....more sitting around. Looking good for Frank Ghery. ....some detailing. .....perhaps the best view. ....a place to drink expensive coffee........... or to throw paper planes across at the divide..................a pretty useless but enjoyable space. an exercise in big things, little things, simple dynamics with patterns....a bit art schoolish! .........but every city needs one.....where is our Frank Ghery building?

That's what it looks like outside at 16:24. Nice. Seemingly, in London, there have been only four days this August without rain. Today was not one of them. It rained this morning. This years bountiful Olive crop. Will need to start looking for the local processing plant in Peckham. Sticks 'n things replacing the ragged Artichoke that peaked way too early this year. Sky thing. The run, every second day.

Vesuvius at about 6 in the morning just before setting out on the, every other day, 5 mile run around Sorrento. It seemed important to do this one....the last day and all that. The Sorrento run. ...after the run....a walk down the hill to have a brilliant coffee in the company of a Fiat 500. ................strange beast...can it really get off the ground? ....while waiting for the flight....three sections of an Air Bus fuselage arrived to get loaded on. ...very hippy sort of graphics. .......and after peerless weather and skies in Italy for 14 days...........................guess what's underneath this lot.

Cafe on via Acton A Banksy in Naples. Piazza life. Piazza footie. Table at pedestrian crossing Good looking streets. Grand Shopping mall. Castle Nouveau Piazza del Plebiscito view from via Acton

Two machines deep in conversation. The blight of Italian railway stations..............or.....if Vesuvius blows it's top again and covers this. Will people in a thousand years ooh and aaah and gush? More blight. ...even more. A dude with a big head. How could they get it so wrong? Nice legs.. shame about the head. ....from Baia Castle ....the castle. The remains of a bath house.
