Sorry wasn't putting it down, she is very artistic and I think she sees herself Infront of a huge technical easel sketchpad designing eco friendly buildings on the scale of the shard. I was not putting out her fire but tried to tell her she needs to be in the top one percent to get that stage.

If I could pass on two pieces of advice to her it would be these......learn quickly the nuts and bolts of building construction. That isn't taught at uni, but it's what you get employed for. Secondly, foster relationships. Get as wide a circle of friends as she can. Join clubs, volunteer, do stuff, and let everyone who asks know she's an architect. Every single architect bar none gets their early commissions from friends and family. Other than that...best of luck to her, and I hope it all goes well. For those with a love of buildings, it's a great career.

Just like Sam, only much bigger!

I went out to Toolstation in Acton this evening. Waiting at a slow red light to turn back on to the A40, I looked up and saw four groups of racing pigeons flying low overhead, going like the absolute clappers. Maybe 50-100 in each group. A really beautiful sight. I wondered what on earth they thought of densely populated west London.

Will you be back from March before the end of March?

Yes, I was back by 7pm

Sneaked in a trip to Lidl and picked up some chocolatey easter gifts for my neighbour and some friends.

The mother in law regailed me the ledgendary chip pan fire story c. 1979 for the fifth or sixth time. It was tough going the first time.

Pigeons probably think:
Statues! Man, I really have to go!

I dried a seven hills gourd, and made a birdhouse out of it.

My knowledge of gourds is limited to pictures of PNG locals wearing them on their genitals. I think they are also used to carry water. I have a hill to climb.

You are being included in the family lore and legend. Consider your self lucky that you are accepted to such an extent.

Pumpkins are a sort of gourd or squash. Much of the canned pumpkin comes from around here. You can go out in the countryside west of here and see fields of them, all growing for Nestle.
