‘602’

Back at the wharf. It is raining.

An eventful day.

6 more hours to go.

Wish me luck.

‘London Buddhist Centre’

This was after.

On way elsewhere.

I love this building, at the top of Globe Road in Bethnal Green.

I remember when I first saw it. Significant.

‘lavender’

I used to steal some of this every week.

It’s a very calming smell.

If you don’t freak out a bee who could be visiting.

‘pebbles’

I used to sit here every week.

Revisiting.

I’d forgotten how pretty this is.

‘lime’

The lime green wall was rather green. Lovely.

This pleased me.

‘GE Fogg Building’

At QMW Bancroft Road

I’ve caught up with myself.

I’m now on time.

Not worried about being an hour early, earlier. Psycho-dynamic? You betcha. Stressed. Of course.

Finally the whole building is uncovered.

‘anti aircraft gun’

This Fascinates me.

Situated in a gun emplacement on Mudchute, to protect the docks from German bombers in World War 2.
