Scones and Bank Holiday

First up, my scones from last week. Don't they look yummy? I'm so proud of my first baking attempt. Heh. Maybe if I can't find a job, I can set up shop to sell delectable scones to people. And I'll import clotted cream from Bath to eat them with!


Then this was taken yesterday when I went for a walk. It was bank holiday, so the riverside was just teeming with people. The picture shows the Tower of London and then the Gherkin is in the background.


After I got back, it rained a bit and this was taken from my window. I was clambering on my table trying to find nice combinations of raindrops, haha. I wouldn't mind working as a photographer or a photo-journalist; I really do like photography!


Then in the evening there were fireworks. But then this time they were at the St Paul's Cathedral side instead of the Tower Bridge side, so Guy's Tower (that's the hospital block of Guy's Hospital, behind which I live) was right in the way. You can see the edge of some sparks and loads of the smoke. I was so frustrated as I stood in the stairwell listening to the muffled booming in the distance. I think this had happened before, but the last time I didn't see anything at all, even from the stairwell. People living in the flats wing would have had a good view though. And oh, it looks like evening, but that's the sky at 10pm. Heh, that's summer in the northern hemisphere for you.
