a. Just spotted that this is going to be my 1,600th post.
b. Joe Hyam from Best of Now has a poem on qarrtsiluni.
1. I go out early to get some bread and see (1) two women sitting on a bench at the top of the street drinking tea from real mugs; (2) an older woman limping determinedly along the hill carrying a newspaper cone from which bursts a bunch of mauve michaelmas daisies and waxy orange crocosmia; (3) a fine strong-looking lady, all curves and s-shapes, wearing khaki dress, white sunhat, stout walking shoes and rucksack strides out for a day's walking.
2. We followed London Wall Walk, and spent the day spotting ceramic plaques and sections of rough Roman stonework preserved amid the glass and concrete towers.
3. In a Barbican courtyard overlooked by the City of London Girls School, the remains of a maze marked out in masking tape.
