Twelve Months Twenty-Four Photos. Numbers One and Two - January

[blahflowers]

I have been to Kilburn precisely twice in my life. Both times to go to the Tricycle Theatre. Both times to see Mark Thomas. Both times I thoroughly enjoyed myself.

Westminster Cathedral, on the other hand, was something of a disappointment. Not only does Rome hold on to all it's wealth for itself, rather than putting it to use to help raise the poor and destitute out of their misery, it doesn't even spread it around it's own churches, so that Westminster has a 'work-in-process' look almost a hundred and twenty years after the ground was broken. It's also has the problem that it's one selling point to tourists, it's tall tower, is distinctly behind the times. It's becoming increasingly crowded around by tall buildings that are for nothing more than places for people to smoke on and so the only decent views left are southwards towards Vauxhall and the river. Still, Joseph and Cynthia liked it, so that is something I suppose.

Hopefully, one year on from when I took this picture, I will be up the top of another tall London building, The Shard. Limited numbers of tickets are being given away to Southwark residents via their local libraries, starting Wednesday. Take something official and current that proves you live in Southwark to any of the libraries when they open, and you may be fortunate to get one of a small number of free tickets for the last week in January 2013.

Mark Thomas is great and I hold it against C4 that they stopped commissioning the Project.

Good luck. I saw how much it costs to go to the official viewing bit of the Shard and wet 'How much?!?'

It did get me wondering about pretending to be looking to rent office space there...
