Blackfriars
Blackfriars Bridge – Wrought Iron Truss bridge, build in 1875. “At 216 feet (65.8 meters) it is the longest working span of that kind in North America“, and as a Bowstring style, one of the rarest. Closed to pedestrian-only traffic since 2013, it remains the entrance to the Blackfriars neighbourhood of London. A pedestrian pathway runs along the Thames, through Harris Park, where you may … Continue reading Blackfriars
Just So You know
I’ve re-invented the Persian Flaw blog I started a while back. Stripped it bare, and now my girlfriend and I are sharing it. Rea is a very old friend I met years ago in Art School. We have a third, but so far she’s been quiet. It’s in its infancy though and we are not sure what it’s going to be when it grows up, … Continue reading Just So You know

Thinking About Those People You Shouldn’t Be Thinking About
It had been well over 9 months, the last time I saw him. And then he bikes passed me on the street, we looked back at the same time – that blue.eyed.man and I. As we shared that one brief glimpse, his expression vague, now – was it amusement? Or surprise? Then a couple of weeks ago, as I came upon the soup aisle, there … Continue reading Thinking About Those People You Shouldn’t Be Thinking About
On Waking In The Night To The Howling Wind
You probably won’t be surprised to hear I’m up again well before the crack of dawn. It’s technically still night for most. I mean, I was zonked out by 8:30 last night, so 3ish am isn’t horribly little sleep. May have just been the howling wind that woke me, and not Irish with her cold nose (as I suspect). Windy out all day yesterday, and … Continue reading On Waking In The Night To The Howling Wind

The Coves In Infrared
Her
And now abideth faith, hope, and love, even these three: but the chiefest of these is love. 1 Corinthians 13:13 It was 3:30 AM and my legs were aching. Just finished two full out on the go day’s at work. Difficult days. Stressful days, filled with many complicated puzzles. But good, real, real good. I work with a team that makes it, a dare I … Continue reading Her
My Babylonian Sister
Rea came for a visit recently and of course, per usual, the topic eventually came round to the mystical. You know us Mom, two fey‘s from the same fey pod. She is one of the few persons in this universe that completely gets the world, as I get the world. The two of us are so attracted to symbolism, iconography, and all that hoogy-moogy magical … Continue reading My Babylonian Sister

Fixing A Scratch In My Vinyl
Now, the weather outside is frightful, when inside it is so delightful…and it snowed, and it snowed, and it snowed. Hadn’t pretty much all winter, but it made up for it this past weekend. Then once the snow had all fallen, the temperature dipped to -25 (or more) for about 48 hours or so. Even had to drag out my -40 big-ass Sorel moon boots … Continue reading Fixing A Scratch In My Vinyl
