As spotted by our very own Clarion yesterday, in the vein of knit one, purl one - guerilla knitting on the Thames Path:

And:

And today........ Where have all the gondolas gone?

 

[User10571]

Not on the south (good) side, that's for sure:

 

[User10571]

Ah!
There they are!
All huddled around the capstan(s), waiting for Santa to call:

I had no idea that they took them off the string, of a night time.
Prolly because they don't want them to get wet.
Or because it's South London....

Well, they're probably worth a bit weighed in!

London peeps...
Seriously appreciate you giving up your time this year to show me how cool London is by bike. Your banter, abuse, humor, friendship was appreciated as much as the beers and coffee's shared together.
Have a great Xmas.

It was a pleasure you joining our little gang fella.
Really enjoyed your company on the rides.
Will forever more remember you walking up the hill at Alexander Palace

Hope yer all had a larverly Christmas.

In a Boxing Day state of turkey-stuffedness, this only just came back to mind. By Fat Boys Diner, there's a kind of clock (SE corner of Trinity Buoy Wharf) which nobody seemed to mention. I saw it but didn't know how to read it and the area had barriers around discouraging me from a closer look, so I didn't say anything. But it appears to be part of this project for a tidal moon clock. Yay, in other words, a small mock up of a lunar klepsydra! Having watched the video on the link, I now think I've got some idea how to read it. So I'm going to have to go back to see how it's changed since last Sunday's ride.

Anyhow, I felt this bit of useless trivia needed to be shared!

Sunday's weather is looking promising

I might be around on Sunday as it looks like I'll have to bail from the Night Ride to Brighton tomorrow - been struck down with Man Flu which has gone to my chest, so a damp and windy overnight ride into a fierce headwind is probably not advised, whereas a gentle pootle around town could be just the ticket. It will be gentle, right?

 

[mark st1]

Is anyone around this Sunday ?
