Two teas, milk in one, milk and two in the other; two full English, bread and butter with one and a fried slice with the other, ta… hello… er, hello… service! Waitress… Hello… (We do London pictures here: check out our mouthy sister blog Northern Lines for words.)
“See a ring around the moon, a storm is sure to follow soon.” Wise saw by Mr A. Homespun-Wisdom “A ring around the moon is caused by high altitude clouds, which precede low-pressure systems bearing moisture. So yes, it does indicate rain. The clouds contain ice crystals which refract the Moon's light, giving a halo effect.” Cold, hard fact from Mrs A. Boffin “There’s a Ring Around the Moon” Old time romantic song by J. Mercer “See a ring and a moon and you’re standing on the Victoria Embankment.” C. Pond Esq.
Dear Santa, I don't have a chimney so you'll have to read my blog to find out what I want. I'm getting my letter in early this year so we can avoid a repeat of last year's socks and cufflinks fiasco. You really effed up there Santa: maybe go easy on the booze at the other houses before you get to mine, eh? Anyway. Listen up: and listen with BOTH ears. I want a Rickenbacker 360 from Vintage & Rare Guitars (above) in Denmark Street. A black one. Blonde at a push. If they don't have that then I'll take a Gretsch Chet Atkins. In green. Only in green. Ta. Clapton Pond Esq. P.S. Will wait up for you. And here's the deal: No guitar for me – no mince pie and whisky for you. And Rudolph can whistle for his carrot.
